Your Life Calling You Today

Your Life Calling TODAY with Jane Pauley is a series of human interest stories of people making drastic career and life changes later in life. The series is sponsored by AARP and runs on the Today Show. I’ve caught a few of them while getting dressed for work in the morning.

Although the series is aimed at baby boomers (those born 1943-1960), I believe that anyone can glean from these pearls of wisdom. It is a reminder that no matter where you are in life, reinvention is always an option. If you find yourself unhappy, bored, depressed, unmotivated, lost or unchallenged – do something about it. It’s your life.

Even for a young graduate making their way in the world, you may feel 100% sure about what you want to do for the rest of your life. Just keep in mind that with experience, events, knowledge and time - one day you may feel 100% sure that you no longer want to do that very thing that you were once 100% sure about. If you are young and you have no idea what you want to do, there’s nothing wrong with that either. You don't have to feel pressured into selecting the perfect job for friggin forever!     

Here are some of my favorite quotes from Rick Rittmaster whose life was calling him.  View his story here


If we are feeding our soul it is going to be green and vibrant and growing.  If we are not engaged in the alignment of things that really give us life we dry out.

I didn't have a plan or a roadmap but I was committed to paying attention. 

As odd as it may sound, to me it was full of God's grace.  I got to exercise my gifts and skills in a way that I never could have envisioned before.
Is your life calling and will you answer?
