In his (brilliant) book, “Authentic Happiness,” Martin Seligman differentiates jobs vs. careers vs. callings.

A job pays your bills.

A career provides the powerful but fleeting satisfaction of job advancement.

A calling? A calling is what you live when you discover and utilize your greatest strengths in the greatest service to the world.

- Your friend in the pursuit of the happiness that ensues from discovering and giving our gifts to the world.

(You might dig the overview of “Authentic Happiness” I did. And take the strengths assessment test today to take the next step in living your highest calling!)
