Steve Harvey said it best:
?? “A career is what you get paid for, a calling is what you are made for.”
Many people work jobs—some even build successful careers. But few step into their true calling.
The Difference Between a Career and a Calling
? A career pays the bills. It gives you stability, benefits, and a path forward. ? A calling fuels your soul. It gives you purpose, passion, and fulfillment beyond a paycheck.
A career can be chosen, but a calling chooses you. It’s that deep sense of purpose—the thing you’d do even if no one paid you for it.
Are You in a Career or a Calling?
Ask yourself: ?? Do I wake up excited about the work I do? ?? Am I simply working for money, or am I making an impact? ?? If I had financial freedom, would I still be doing this?
If your career and calling align, you’re in a rare and powerful position. If they don’t, it may be time to start making moves toward what you’re truly made for.
Find What You’re Made For
Not everyone starts in their calling, but everyone has one. Some find it in leadership, teaching, creating, helping others, or innovating. The key is to keep searching, learning, and taking action toward what lights you up inside.
A career is great—but a calling changes lives.
Are you working for a paycheck or fulfilling your purpose?

2 周Great article. Not everyone is lucky enough to wake up in the morning and be excited about what they do for the majority of their waking time. It's not always easy though, to find your calling, with competing obligations. However, peace of mind is priceless.
