3 of the most important 
factors in finding
your calling

How to Choose or Change Your Profession. Chapter 4.
Openness 
to experimentation. 
Finding your calling is like 
discovering yourself all over 
again. Sometimes you have 
to destroy your old ideas about 
the world and re-identify your-
self. Don’t be afraid to try the 
things you dreamed of doing 
as a child, or things deemed 
unusual for people of your age 
or status.
Everyone sees the world 
through a prism that depends 
on our upbringing, our 
different values, and our 
personal experiences. This 
causes many of us to believe 
that some things are just 
not for us or that we are 
not cut out for a particular 
job. If you want to change, 
you have to question many 
of your beliefs and habits. 
Stop telling yourself that 
it’s too late to change your life 
or your career. You only live 
once. Your only goal should 
be to find happiness and take 
pleasure in what you do.

Tip One. 
Try your hand at something 
that you’ve never considered 
doing before. 
Testing your limits is the best 
way to discover your resources 
and true desires. For example, 
if you’ve lived your whole life 
in a city, it might be a good 
idea to experience rural life 
for a week. What if you turn 
out to be a master gardener 
or a skilled builder?
How can you
discover your
talents?
Tip Two. 
Take some career
aptitude tests. 
Many educational centers 
offer tests that can help you 
assess your natural abilities. 
After all, each of us has incli-
nations and predispositions 
to particular types of work. 
Try it out, if not just for fun.
