I love the balance that vocation comes from without and within. Your perspective, personal and real, is so powerful. And it goes along with the quotation I love: "Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." The quote sounds really crass in this context, but I think both things are true and I love it. You are amazing and I'm glad you're continuing to explore your many gifts, shaped by awful experiences. *hug*
Great quote! I am searching for my vocation after many years believing my identity was my mental illness diagnosis. Now I'm more alive after starting to pursue what I'm thrilled about. Not making much income yet, at an age when some of my former classmates are retiring, maybe I'm making up for a couple lost decades!
I appreciate Dr. Donelson's open discussion of suicide too. That is why I'm here.
