Have You Settled For Your “Shadow” Calling?

"Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. That shadow career is a metaphor for our real career. Its shape is similar, its contours feel tantalizingly the same. But a shadow career entails no real risk. If we fail at a shadow career, the consequences are meaningless to us."

Wow.

I think so many people are in this position.

They’re meant to write books and become an author… but instead they write for other people…

Or they’re meant to be an entrepreneur… but instead they help someone else build their business…

We pursue only a “shadow” of our true calling (we sell peanuts).

Because there’s no risk.

The risk — and the greatest reward — only come into play when we pursue our true calling.

To do that, you have to believe in yourself.

And you have to recognize the power you have within.
