As enormous as this question is, it&#39;s one <a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/?p=51000\">we ask ourselves a lot<\/a>. Don&#39;t get overwhelmed thinking about the future. Your calling is calling to you now! Here&#39;s how to hear it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Find out what you want to do today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ignore the future for a second and think about the present. When do you feel most enthusiastic? When does time fly? Noticing when you feel &quot;on&quot; (fully engaged, in the moment, and excited) is key to finding &quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wellness\/how-land-your-dream-job\">what you want to be when you grow up<\/a>.&quot; Ask yourself what you want to do today, and investigate it.&nbsp;<span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Say yes to the o<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">dd opportunities that peak your interest. Exposing yourself to things that intrigue you, rather than things you think are &quot;a good idea&quot;, will steer you in the right direction. Keep following your intrigue even if you feel it&#39;s a total deviation from your path. There are no mistakes, only learning experiences. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Failure is important<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to be bold and creative, you can&#39;t be afraid of making mistakes. Arianna huffington, co-founder and editor in chief off the Huffington Post is a big believer framing failure as a stepping stone to success. When you think about it that way, it changes what you&#39;re willing to do, how you&#39;re willing to create, and the risks you&#39;re willing to take. Make sure you&#39;re as bold and creative in the small steps as you want to be when you achieve your end goal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Think big<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you think you can&#39;t write or make films all day because it&#39;s impractical or too far fetched an idea, change your thinking. Michelangelo said &quot;the great danger for most of us lies not in setting out aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.&quot; What would you strive for if you knew you could do no wrong? Don&#39;t limit your dreams with fear of failure or judgement. When you dream, look into the future with love, not fear. You totally&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/?p=52466\">can have it all<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to the calls to action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the niggling desires you feel within become too hard to ignore &#8211; you can&#39;t stop thinking about them, you can&#39;t imagine going another week without putting a plan in action &#8211; listen to them! Don&#39;t try to &nbsp;deny them and convince yourself that your job \/ life \/ career path is ok as it is, just because you don&#39;t want to mess up your life by taking a possibly stupid risk. If you&#39;ve got an idea circling around in your head relentlessly, it&#39;s there for a reason. Don&#39;t try to stifle it and bring your dreams down to your reality. Bring your reality up to the level of your dreams. <a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wellness\/be-true-yourself-and-do-what-you-love\">Be true to yourself!&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what you&#8217;re meant to be doing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71546,"featured_media":74296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64591],"tags":[64928,64709,77145,77146,77147,75001],"class_list":["post-54613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wellness","tag-career","tag-career-advice","tag-tips-plus-size-fashion","tag-being-used","tag-he-using-you","tag-jobs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 Tips for Finding Your Calling - 29Secrets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What do you really want to do with your life?
