Privileged

Vocation (your work or your 'calling') is an unbelievable responsibility. One’s talents and abilities are gifts. It is a person’s responsibility to the world and to society to engage these personal endowments to the fullest and to seek ways in which to develop them. Rather than take for granted that which we have been given, we can view or talents and specialties as qualities that are meant to be explored and expanded.

Often the word “responsibility” can be thought of in a negative light as an action that has to be taken rather than something that one would like to do. Instead of viewing responsibility in that way, try taking the perspective of seeing responsibility as a privilege bestowed on you as a result of your gifts and talents. Taking on the outlook that vocation is a responsibility can present itself as an opportunity. You have the chance to utilize your vocation to better that around you. Choose to see your responsibility as the privilege of using your specific gifting and skills —your unique capabilities—to improve your company, your family, your community, your society or even your world.
