The Calling.

I'm told that we all have a calling that we're supposed to pursue. We all have something that we're supposed to be heading towards, something that God has set aside for us. For some people, it's something incredible that people can look at and go "Wow! I always knew you'd be good at that!" For some, it's more subtle and less common, but can still be seen as an extreme calling from God. But what do you call a "calling" that is something everyone is eventually called to? What if that is your passion, your dream? Should you even call it a dream or calling when it's something so...common and usual that, it's going to happen eventually, so why head for it now? Why want it with everything in you when it's just going to take a little time to get where you need to be?

And if you feel like that is your calling, what do you do in the meantime? Do you find other things that, since everyone else is doing them and has told you that you need to be doing it too, those seem like the things to go for? What about that passion you have. What do you do with it while your beginning your life the "right" way? And why do you have to go with what society says? Ever since we were kids, everyone has always said "Don't conform to what everyone else thinks, do things your own way." But yet we still conform. We still do what society thinks we should, and not necessarily what we think we should. But where do we find all the "calling" in all the social requirements?
