Although some know what<br \/>\nthey want to do from an early age, for most, it takes many years to find<br \/>\ntheir path. Whenever I am asked about finding one\u2019s calling, I offer the<br \/>\nfollowing advice.<br \/>\nFirst, one of the reasons it is difficult to find your calling is that you<br \/>\nsimply do not know what kind of jobs are out there in the world. Where<br \/>\ncan you discover options other than the jobs you already know of<br \/>\nthrough your family and friends?<br \/>\nThe easiest way to expose yourself to an array of indirect experiences<br \/>\nis by reading. Have you read up on science, travel, fashion, art, or<br \/>\npolitics? How about education, psychology, finance, health, food,<br \/>\nmusic, or sports? Read widely as you explore different professions. You<br \/>\ncan also read a biography of someone you admire and hope to emulate.<br \/>\nBooks broaden your horizons and introduce you to new possibilities.<br \/>\nSecond, it is hard to find one\u2019s calling because many mistakenly<br \/>\nbelieve they need to look only within to discover their passion.<br \/>\nAlthough it is true that we have innate interests and talents, we often do<br \/>\nnot know what they are until we have real-life experiences. Having a<br \/>\nwide range of experiences can help you uncover your inner passion.<br \/>\nTry various part-time jobs and internships, or volunteer.<br \/>\nDon\u2019t be afraid of rolling up your sleeves and diving in.<br \/>\nWhile immersed in a job\u2019s reality, you will discover whether it\u2019s a<br \/>\ngood fit.<br \/>\nWork experiences may unlock the door to a career opportunity you<br \/>\nhadn\u2019t considered.<br \/>\nThird, it is difficult to find your calling without sufficient self-<br \/>\nawareness. Do you know what kind of work environment you thrive in?<br \/>\nDo you draw your energy from interacting with people? Do you<br \/>\nperform well under pressure? What are your strengths and weaknesses?<\/p>\n<p>You can increase your self-awareness by interacting with a wide<\/p>\n<p>range of people in a wide variety of situations. You will develop a<\/p>\n<p>deeper understanding of yourself as you cultivate relationships, which<\/p>\n<p>become a mirror reflecting your strengths and weaknesses in various<\/p>\n<p>circumstances. Do not be afraid of meeting new people. Get to know<\/p>\n<p>those who are working in a field you are interested in. Go out on dates;<\/p>\n<p>they are another good way to learn about yourself. Discover what types<\/p>\n<p>of people are compatible with your personality. From these experiences,<\/p>\n<p>you will gain insight into what kinds of people you like to surround<\/p>\n<p>yourself with.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, do not select your career based on what others will think of<\/p>\n<p>your choice. The truth is that other people do not really think about you<\/p>\n<p>that much. If you think you will enjoy something, then do not overthink<\/p>\n<p>it. Just do it. Even if it does not turn out the way you imagined it, you<\/p>\n<p>will still appreciate it for what it has taught you.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you the best of luck!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>HAEMIN SUNIM<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not easy to find one\u2019s calling in life.
