So often when I was growing up I would hear the above and think ...sooooo go learn something besides what your passion is and settle.
But as of late I have thought of this phrase in connection with service.I have said in the past that I have always known my capacity to care and have compassion.
I have sort of gained emotional daughters at work who are young and struggling.Life is hard now for anyone but these two I bonded with and started to be there for almost immediately .
So I started to think that the joy this brings me is absolutely not describable and that maybe my job after hearing it all my life "is" "Something to fall back on".
We all have to make money to live but for me to feel the utmost filled up and complete in such an extraordinary way means to me ....money or not .......it is my calling.
I find when Im caught up in myself too much(habits of worry,regret,...crap)If I focus on doing for some one else I turn that lousy worthless ,mean talk into compassion and Im all better and take as much as I can and fill up to spilling till the next fall.And there will be a next fall ...we are all feeling the same things and they rear their ugly heads to squash us down all the time.
I am giving my life to this every day to take my self doubts and pain and share my life story and be open and available to anyone who needs me.
This is another place I find the "Content" part,breathing out and in with certainty that love is here.
