Careers Purpose Calling

More From John C. Maxwell

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. are you pursuing a shadow career?

In 1491 the inka ruled the greatest empire on earth. bigger than ming dynasty china, bigger than ivan the great’s expanding russia, bigger than songhay in the sahel or powerful great zimbabwe in the west africa tablelands, bigger than the cresting ottoman empire, bigger than the triple alliance (as the aztec empire is more precisely known), bigger by far than any european state, the inka dominion extended over a staggering thirty-two degrees of latitude—as if a single power held sway from st. petersburg to cairo.

Oh, i can see it happening, age after age, and growing worse the more you reveal your beauty: the son turning his back on the mother and the bride on her groom, stolen away by this everlasting calling, calling, calling of the gods. taken where we can't follow. it would be far better for us if you were foul and ravening. we'd rather you drank their blood than stole their hearts. we'd rather they were ours and dead than yours and made immortal.

If you come face to face with some really challenging situations and tragic circumstances - you are going in there with a purpose. you are not going in there as a tourist. you're not going there just to merely observe. you have a purpose, and your purpose is to tell that story, to share that story for the bigger benefit of millions of other people. your purpose is to create that bridge so you can give that story the dignity and the focus that it deserves, and you can become a part of the amplification that needs to be there.

I think in many ways, the spanish civil war was the first battle of world war ii. after all, where else in the world at this point did you have americans in uniform who were being bombed by nazi planes four years before the u.s. entered world war ii? hitler and mussolini jumped in on the side of francisco franco and his spanish nationalists, sent them vast amounts of military aid, airplanes, tanks - and mussolini sent 80,000 ground troops as well - because they wanted a sympathetic ally in power. so i think it really was the opening act of world war ii.
