I recently finished reading the book Emotional Equations by Chip Conley. One of his chapters is focused on "calling." He says that there are three ways to relate to work: 1) a job, 2) a career, 3) a calling. The latter is the most rewarding.
Conley quotes Abraham Maslow: "One must respond to one's fate or one's destiny or pay a heavy price. One must permit one's self to be chosen." We aren't the caller, we are just responding. Conley goes on to say, "You fit into a job. A calling fits into you."
A good question to ask ourselves is: "What am I becoming as a result of my work?"
It is our hope that everyone working at Esperanza is responding to a calling and not just looking at their work at Esperanza as a job, or even a career.
