In a recent article published by Outreach Magazine, Brad Lomenick writes about how to find your personal calling.
As Brad shares, asking good questions is one key answering this question well. I've been collecting such questions for many years. He's come up with some new questions and a few twists on some old ones that I plan to add to my collection:
What keeps me awake when I should be falling asleep?
What wakes me up when I should still be sleeping?
What are your passions and gifts? At the intersection of these two elements, you'll find your calling in life.
What would you work on or want to do for free? That is usually a good sign of what God has designed you to do.
What energized you when you were a child? Does it still animate you? Knowing your calling is often connected to childhood passions and gifts.
If you could do anything and take a pay cut, what would that be? You may have to blow up your financial goals in order to find your true calling.
What barriers are preventing you from pursuing your true calling? Can you begin removing those?
If you aren't engaging your gifts and talents where you are now, could you make changes in your current role to better to better engage those? Don't rule out the possibility that you are where you need to be.
