We often expect some kind of inner, spiritual certainty—some confident and clear “call”—to what we are supposed to do with our lives and our work. When this doesn’t happen, we wonder why we have not yet discovered our vocation, especially when it seems like so many others around us have happily found their own.
There is neither a quick nor a guaranteed furmula to discover that for which we were uniquely created. Responding to this frustration of discovering your calling, Eugene makes a profound statement:
There is no human work that is not capable of being vocationalized.
The work in front of us is a gift from the hand of God. Rather than continually search for personal fulfillment, we can use our vocations to develop our faculties and serve our neighbor. We can do such work well, with great love, even if it isn't our ideal job.
This will lead us to a deeper sort of fulfillment—the fulfillment of having tasted and touched a profound holiness of our work.
