Our Life Calling is in Our Moments of Crisis

Finding Your Life Calling

In Our Moments of Crisis,
Is Our Life Calling
 By Frank Kermit
 
Part of my work in helping people find and attract their soul mate match includes helping people find their life calling.  Once a person knows what their calling in life is, it dictates their lifestyles, reflects their personal core values, and makes it much easier to figure out the kind of person they should seek out for a serious relationship.
 
Finding their calling is about giving meaning to why they are alive.  It is about discovering a purpose, and a means of contributing to the world.  When a human being has found a purpose in life, there is a certain fulfillment that completes them; in ways they may not have known they were missing beforehand. 
 
Although finding their calling is not always necessary to structure a life plan (which is about planning your life from this moment, all the way to the moment of your death and telling your loved ones how you want your remains to be dealt with), it does make structuring a life plan much easier.
 
Having that life plan in place helps individuals focus on the kinds of people they should be dating, and even helps you locate where you would most likely meet those potential life partners.
 
For example, if you know that your life plan involves living in another country 6 months out of the year, then when seeking a life partner to support that lifestyle and travel with you, you must find someone that likes to travel, has no commitments that ties them down, and has the same value system you do.
 
Finding your life calling, and creating a life plan detailing your day-to-day can be a daunting task. The first place that most people explore when seeking a life calling is to figure out what it is they like.  That is one of the ways that a person can choose a job or career they may find fulfilling, but not always.
 
In my practice, as well as through my personal experience, I have found that in our moments of personal crisis, we can find our deeper life calling. What we learn about ourselves, during our most traumatic moments, can also be the life lessons needed to direct us on the path of hearing the call of our life’s mission. 
 
Many philanthropists, great leaders, entrepreneur’s come from stories of pain that drive them to finding ways to change the world.  At times, it could be something like an incident as a child of seeing other children at risk that pushes a person to become a police officer, family law advocate, or even a social worker.
 
A person whose family once went hungry or ended up evicted may devote their life to teaching people how to live off the grid or enroll in the doomsday prep movement.
 
Many years ago, I was stood up at my prom, lost my ex-fiancé to one of my then best friends, and later ended up near suicidal shortly after a further series of heartbreaks. 
 
In my attempts to heal my own wounds and learn some very tough life lessons about love, these traumatic events in my life, were in fact the building blocks for my practice as a dating and relationship coach. 
 
If you are struggling to figure out your life path, and want to do so in order to help you find your soul mate, look at the crisis in your life, and start asking yourself if you really have learned every lesson you needed to learn, in order to be able to contribute to the world.  Once you have that answer, you are one step closer to finding your life mission AND your life partner.
