Vocation

I was watching the entire season 7 of America’s Next Top Model this afternoon and one question that was most frequently asked was “do you really it (modeling)?” And almost all girls would answer that “yes! This is my life. This is what I want to do.” And somehow I envy these people who at an early age have discovered their calling. That is what they would want to devote all their time and energy. That would make them happy. And I can’t help but reflect on what I would really want in my life. As graduation approaches, people now start asking questions such as “what would you do after college?” and I just wish I have a ready answer…because honestly I do not know. As people would always say (or would just like to think), all of us have their own destiny. We are called to do something in our life. I am not really religious but I do believe in what Fr. Jboy said that vocation is our purpose in for being in the world that is somehow related to God’s purposes. But somehow, I still do not know what my purpose in life is. Somehow, that is a scary feeling. But then again, maybe I should just take my time. I will surely find mine.

…it will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, what you read, what you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude…
