"Today I understand vocation quite differently - not as a goal to be achieved but as a gift to be received. discovering vocation does not mean scrambling toward some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of true self I already possess. Vocation does not come from a voice "out there" calling me to become something I am not. It comes from a voice "in here" calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given to me at birth by God."

Mark,
That is a wonderful post. I would like know more about this person. Exploring vocation and the interior life is a life time journey, that we all are only beginning.
