Howard Thurman suggests, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do that. Because what the world needs is more people who've come alive."
And Fred Buechner states this in a slightly different way: your vocation is "the place where your deep gladness meets the world's great need."
We are programmed from an early age to consider certain things more noble than others. And if we are "good", we try to meet others' and our own expectations, trying to fit into those ideas. It then often takes some failures, perhaps depressions, to kick us in the butt, make us examine our lives and what we want out of them.
Are you still struggling to fit into a mold that is not meant for you? How might you engage your creativity to let your true self emerge? How will that change your life? How might it affect the world around you?
