David Letterman to Jerry Seinfeld, "If you're going to fail, do it while you're doing something you love"
That was his advice when Jerry told him he was going to try doing a sitcom.
A friend of mine often quotes Frederick Buechner, “The place where God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
I'm not sure I completely believe either of these - but they sure sound good.
So the next question is - what do you love? or what is your great passion?
somewhere in that mix lies your giftedness, right? my mentor always said, "Where there is gifting there is calling, a call is never given before a gift..."

ReplyDeletei was just thinking about something similar recently... do we excel at something because we're passionate about it, or are we passionate about the things we excel in? and is it possible to excel and give your best in more than one arena? hmm...
