I recently read somewhere that if you are extremely passionate about something, then that thing is probably ‘your calling’.
How many times has it happened that we really care about something deeply, only to not pursue it seriously?
I know it happens to me frequently enough. The most recent instance being my desire to write a novel. It has been on my mind ever since I quit my job. That means almost six months now. It took me long enough to discover my calling for writing. Each time the thought was that I’ll get down to it some day, soon enough. Each time I convinced myself that I wasn’t yet ready for it. Each time I persuaded myself that my writing skills needed further improvement. (They still do!)
