”Where your talents and the needs of the world overlap, there lies your vocation”

”Where your talents and the needs of the world overlap, there lies your vocation”

Our purpose is found in service to something larger
Mr. Aristotle
”Where your talents and the needs of the world overlap, there lies your vocation”
But first we need to unpack this wordTALENT
The dictionary is full of SH$T.
We have allowed talent to become a myth of inherentgenius.
Talent is not skill!
?
Talent is a predisposition for a task to bring us pleasure.
Talent is not to be confused with skill!Focus on what feeds you.
What is fun and easy for you but considered challenging by others?
Talents Thought Starters
When do you feel most alive?
What tasks or activities feed you?
When do you go into “the zone” or a state of flow?
What issues in the world make you yearn to take action?
World’s Great Needs Thought Starters
What causes you to feel a deep sadness?
What moves you to tears?
What unsolvable problems are you drawn to solve?
Mr. Aristotle
”Where your talents and the needs of the world overlap, there lies your vocation”
“To love people and assist them in creating a life of meaning.”
“To nurture and bring safety to the inner child we all carry within us.”
“To awaken a greater compassion, tenderness and respect for ourselves, nature, this beautiful planet and all the things in it. When love takes over, which is inevitable with such awareness, and replaces the fear which seems to dominate much of how our lives & societies operate, then can true transformation & healing take place, within ourselves, & the world at large.”
“Craft things with my hands that help people to see clearly.”
“To show the world the need for compassion to all life.”
“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you”
– Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak
