Not sure why, but I woke up this morning thinking about a philosophical question I read in a book a few months ago. The question goes something like this:

If you knew you couldn’t fail,
and there were no obstacles standing in your way,
what would you do?

Again, I don’t know why this question came to mind this particular morning…but it’s fun to ponder the possibilities. One thing I’m pretty sure about is that I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now (vocationally). The good news for me is that I’m confident I am on the right path now that I’m going back to school and answering God’s calling. I have a passion for teaching. And would love nothing more than to use that gift in the church and broader community.

So what about you? What would you do? Are you doing it now? What’s standing in your way? I truly believe that God wants us to fulfill our passions and gifts (that’s why He gave them to us). Now, that doesn’t always translate into a vocation (sometimes work is an ends to a means…I think), but it translates into finding that thing (to quote City Slickers, “That one thing”) that stirs your heart and moves you to action.

What would you do??
