Your Calling

"Your call is important to us.  Please stay on the line and your call will be answered in the order it was received.  You estimated wait time is BLANK."

You know this line so well you began reciting it before you finished reading it.  It's used so often that it's turned into a cultural meme!  Question:  If you are as important as they say, how come no one answers when you call?  Do you feel important after hearing that statement?  Do you feel de-prioritized?  marginalized?  left alone? 

You made the call because it's important to you.  …and you wait.  2 minutes?  8 minutes?  23 minutes? 

Cyber-limbo. 

Blank space or even worse….holding music.  Someone PLEASE pick up.  Frustration creeps in.  It builds into a grumble, then a Roar!  

AARGH!!!! 

Now that you've got that all-too-familiar feeling deeply ingrained in your body memory, let's talk about YOUR Calling.  You know you've got a Calling.  It may be on the tip of your tongue or buried deep.  But, it's there.

So why are you putting Your Calling on hold?

By delaying, you are saying, 'I'll get back to you after I've taken care of these 5 less-important priorities?'  YIKES!

Let's change it up.  If a significant person calls, you answer.  If they ask you for something important, you drop everything and do it.  Why?  Because you care.  Care enough to raise that call to be #1 in the call queue!  The A1 priority on your To Do list.

So why do you treat Your Calling any different? 

It's time. 

Time to put your talent in the world where it shines the most, where you help the most people.  Someone out there needs exactly your talent.  No one else will do.  And they need you, NOW!

It's YOUR time.

You know Your Calling.  Write it down … tape it to your wall…. yell it from the rooftops! 

YES!!!  There it is!

Now….do you really want Your Calling to feel like you put it 'On Hold?'

Answer the Call!

It's time to GO!
