Your true calling or whatever it is

[Smurfy]

How do you find it?

I mean we all have dream jobs of things but none of them seem to be within reason ; or these people dont make enough $$ to make the change worth it.

I'm just trying to figure myself out, but I guess I dont even know where to start.

My job is starting to suck right now. I'm bored. Obviously on the internet all the time is a sign, and I feel bad for wasting my time , and unproductive and lazy because I'm half assing everything lately it seems.

i dont really believe in a true calling so to speak. i think, rather, that everyone has certain skills they excel at and so some jobs would be better suited for them than others. but a specific true calling, not sure what that is

I know what my true calling is, but am not doing it b/c I cannot afford to stop working.
Anyone interested in being my sugar Daddy?

Where-Driver's Education Class + FIT

Who - a girl in my group was a draftsmen + teacher at FIT

What - I liked her hand writing so I took a drafting class - the teacher of that class was so taken by my work that he would not take no for an answer he literally demanded that I apply for the full time interior design program and held my hand (to drag me around the school so i wouldn't run away - LOL!)through the whole thing. I had nothing better to do at the time so I applied, made a portfolio and got in - so I went and here I am.

I don't know about true calling but I have natural talent that I didn't know existed and never dreamed about as a child. Design happened to me - I didn't happen to design if that makes any sense.

Take some classes at night - you might find something that interests you.

Now that I'm out of school I love to go to school - LOL - it's funny because when I had to be in school I hated it.

I'm working on my masters just because I wanted to learn something new.

And you get to meet new people.

I don't believe in any one true calling either. I've done several different things throughout my adult life to earn a living, some I enjoyed more than others. As I go along in life and because I now have an incredibly supportive husband who lives for my happiness, I get to be anyone I want to be. I've done art, I've written/illustrated books for children as well as adults (put that on hold for a minute with several projects that are in the works), I've tended/managed bars, I've also been a dancer (I LOVED dancing, LOATHED all the bullshit and judgment that came with it, but I paid the bills so it was ok for a short time), I've been self-employed for electrical contracting now oil and gas funding company and a few other ventures, I've co-hosted a radio show (which I can't WAIT to get back to!), I've been a certified fitness professional (I loved the work but was terribly underpaid so I burned out fast), I've done all sorts of administrative work for other people and HATED IT, I was a commercial fitness/swimwear model (which I LOVED but the time for that is waaaaaay past LOL)...

I have a whole host of projects I want to do, but who knows if I will get to them? I still have so many that are half-done.

The point I am trying to make is that you never know until you try. And as for balls, yea it takes some but don't EVER let someone else tell you what you can or can not do.

I hate my job 2 days into the week. I fuggin HATE it. I kick stuff, throw stuff, think about quitting. If I have had a few days away from work, I miss my job. I start calling people I work with to see if they have had any good calls. I start watching shows like PARAMEDICS, Code Blue and other emergency nonsense. Sometimes I get hella burned out and take a couple of weeks off. By the end of the first week, I'm bored. It gets more and more difficult to find exciting things to do. Everything gets really boring. Movies aren't scary or exciting no matter what other people tell me. Hell, even a good roller coaster barely elevates my heart rate. I have read about it. They say it something a lot of military, police, emergency workers go through. It becomes a real love/hate relationship. When I was new at this, I DID think it was my perfect job. I thought I was meant to do my job. Now, I don't have a clue about what that even means.
