A calling is something you discover, not something you choose. The word vocation comes from the Latin word for voice. Discovering it involves very careful listening. People will sometimes speak about "choosing a calling," but a chosen calling is an oxymoron. The whole idea of a calling is that there is a Call-er and a call-ee. - John Ortberg.
