Quote: Career is what you are paid for. Calling is what you are made for. Ed Young

Your career is what you do to earn money. Your calling is the reason you were made. Its your purpose. If you didn't happen to catch the video of the week last week, Adam Leipzig discussed how to find your life purpose in 5 minutes. So because I am a big fan of finding purpose, here are the 5 questions to ask yourself to identify your purpose.

1. Who are you?
2. What do you do? What is the one thing right now you feel supremely qualified to teach others?
3. Who do you do it for?
4. What those people want and need?
5. How will they change as a result?

Did you answer them? Good. Now how does your purpose apply to your career? Do you need to follow a different career path to fulfill your purpose? If you need help identifying different career options try an interest inventory or a career exploration workshop. But the most important thing you can do is take action. Begin to move towards your calling. Things may not happen overnight. But nothing will change unless you initiate change.
