Finding my calling – Child’s play

Last week, I was part of an interesting experiment called ‘Interfaith exchange’. It started as a mail sent to 20 people as a bcc with 2 email IDs given in the body of the mail numbered 1 and 2. Once you receive the mail, you are requested to send a quotation or thought that guides you in life to the first named person in the email. Then, in a separate email, whose text was given (explaining the whole concept), you write a bcc to 20 people you know. In that email, you put the person marked No 2 as No 1 and put yourself as No 2. As a result of this, I received some beautiful quotes and thoughts from strangers who became fellow life travelers within a few exchanges.
One such exchange happened between a 13-year old and me. This exchange truly opened my eyes once again to the fact that age is never a bar to thinking about one’s Tresonance. If your parents are supportive and enable that inquiry, you begin early.
I am reproducing below parts of the exchange. I still cannot imagine she is only 13. Her father and I know each other very well. Her father follows the teachings of Nithya Shanti, a spiritual happiness coach and is a practitioner. It is obvious how much of this has rubbed off on his daughter.
“I know not much about Tresonance foundation, but what I understood is that it helps you discover your passion, the egg of the individual inside you waiting to crack. Well, I am in 8th. Going in 9th this year. So I need to discover my passion, THE thing which will give me thrills for the rest of life. Trying to meet new people, explore about different career options and all those kind of things……‎
I believe you are an extremely successful and satisfied person in life. If you don’t mind, could I ask you, How you discovered what you want to do in life? What you wanted to be? Because being very frank, I have no idea of what I want to do in life. I got to decide what I want to do with my life, soon and quick.

I always appreciate meeting new people and in making the most of it, and so, it is a pleasure getting to know somebody like you! 🙂

It is actually papa who planted the seed of awareness in me. He started talking to me about my career last year, wanted me to do internships somewhere etc. but, as any 12 year old would have thought, I also felt that what was the need to do jobs, to start talking to people when you’re just 12 and you have almost 4 years ahead of you to think about those things. Still, he consistently pushed me to get to know more about a thousand different things I can do in life and what it takes to achieve those things, how much you can learn if you talk to new people! He was my first guiding light on what I want to do in life and what I can do. So papa is the one who deserves the credit (for my interest in this area). ‎

I am not really reflecting on it (finding my calling) the way I should..I’ve just started thinking about it. Not done anything yet. And just thinking isn’t going to really help. After all, we can’t be thinking of what to do and how to do it, all our life..!‎….
