Moving Musings

I'm doing number 17 today. What is the thing you wish you were great at? It's funny because I was thinking about this on my way to work today. I'm actually terrified that I'll never figure out what I'm meant to be. In one of my 20 random facts about myself, I mentioned that in my lifetime, I've wanted to be about a million different things. I even went to clown school for a little while. But in my car today I was thinking... what if I never amount to anything? What if I never become anything? In Christianity we often talk about how we're often "called" or led to do or be something. A teacher. A missionary. A nurse. Whatever. It's supposed to be this strong inclination that God is leading you down a path that He knows you'll be successful at, or that you have a certain gift for. I've never felt like I was called or compelled or led or had any particular gifts in anything. I've had hobbies here and there, but none that amounted to anything. I've entertained different careers, but none have seemed to pan out. 


One thing does remain the same and that's that I generally love people. My favorites seem to be the very old and the very young. It's all the people in between, teenagers, people my age and my parents age that drive me nuts. But really, I can get along with almost anyone. So I guess if I had to be great at something, it would be empathy? Or maybe I'm already great at that and I just don't know it. 


Even if I can't put my finger on one thing I want to be great at, I know I want to be great at something. Anything. I just want to feel like I can be proud of something.
