Seeking our calling
Diane Dreher, author of Your Personal Renaissance: 12 Steps to Finding Your Life’s True Calling, writes about the process:
“Seeking your calling is a process of discovery that continues throughout your life, informed by your questions, your conflicts, and your deepest dreams.
“It is the journey known by many names, from Homer’s Odyssey to the pilgrimage in Dante’s Divine Comedy and the quests of the knights of the round table, to the vision quests of Native Americans, and the path of the Chinese sage, Lao Tzu.
“Abraham Maslow called it self-actualization. Joseph Campbell knew it as “the hero’s journey.”
“It is the dynamic voyage of self-discovery central to the Renaissance, and it is our journey, yours and mine, as we seek to live with greater joy and purpose, becoming more deeply, more authentically ourselves.”
