So I’ve been talking about dharma, your sacred calling, at the Spiritual Soul Center these past few Sundays. Because it has been on my mind, I see people living their true calling in the stories I read. How do I know they’re living their dharma? Well just listen to what Dalton has to say:
“It was kind of a spontaneous reaction, I’m happy I did it, and on the trip down I was happy doing it.”
That’s what happens when you live your true calling…your spontaneous decisions bring you happiness. Because your spontaneous decisions really aren’t spontaneous at all. They spring out of a deep desire for something else. For Dalton it was this:
“I have already gotten a ton of phone calls from people saying they were inspired in the future to help other people and to be able to do things like that. To me, that right there is what I want.”
He knows what he wants. Every action, every word, every thought springs forth from this. If you know what you want the decision is easy. It doesn’t make the effort easy…but there really is only one choice. When you know your true calling, you know what to do and how to be.
Who is this Dalton and what’s his story? Let me give you some context. Read this story about Dalton Shaffer, an 18 year old pizza shop manager in Battle Creek, Michigan. Then think about how you react spontaneously. Is it a happy reaction, one that reflects your true calling?
Hmmmm.
