Becoming Who You Are

Vocation to me has also been about listening to the call from Jesus to live out what you are called to be.  We need to really listen with our hearts to understand what God has intended us to be because he knows who we are.  God has a plan for us and it is our job to live out the plan through our vocation.  Success can be different for everyone.  My success is being happy in my life and accomplishing the goals I have set for myself along the way.  Success is also figuring out and actually become the person God intended me to be.

I do agree with Parker Palmer and his insertions of becoming who you are instead of striving to be who you think you should be.  We can't change God's plan so we should spend the time we have talking and listening to him and finding out who we are.  God would not lead us astray so following him is the best route.  When it comes down to it, we are never happy trying to be someone else; it truly is just a hassle.  Finding who we are will be true success and no one can take that away from us.
