Teachings from the Trail Blog

After writing about finding my purpose, I came across this article on “career menopause” from the Harvard Business Review. The author explains how she grew discontent in her career and wanted to make some changes. She sought greater fulfillment in her life and made changes to give her that chance to explore her options. It parallels some of the thoughts I shared last week in What’s Your Purpose. We will continue searching for a “better” job only to realize once we get it that it wasn’t any better than the previous. It becomes a discouraging process. We will never be fully satisfied in our lives as long as we live outside our divine purpose and calling.

Are there changes that you may be able to make today to help you take a step toward your purpose and calling? Where might God be leading you? Not sure? Ask him for clarity and open doors…and the courage to walk through them.
