What is Your Calling?

I was flabbergasted to find a book by a gentleman called Gary North that had taken 39 years to write!  Not only that, but it is posted online for free.

I hope you have registered the point I'm trying to make here - the man has given up 39 years of his life to write a book.  Clearly, the writing of the book was something immensely important to Mr North.

Mr North has said that the writing of this book was his "calling".  In the video below, he discusses the difference between a "calling" and a "career".  It has led me to think what my calling should be.

Brainstorming that question, I've come up with the following:

• Publicising Libertarian ideas in the UK.
• Researching and writing about Austrian economics.
• Standing for public office on a "free market" platform (become the UK's Ron Paul).

The point of a "calling" is that no-one will pay you to do it.  Therefore, it must be a labour of love.
