Saturday Share: Why Some of Us Don’t Have One True Calling

Every Saturday I would like to share with you a video I find inspirational. There are so many amazing, enriching resources out there. Hopefully these videos will bring you joy and inspiration!

I always thought I was a specialist. Or maybe I always thought I should be. I decided in third grade to be an astronaut and I devoted myself towards that dream (or what that dream became) really up until a few years ago. Meanwhile while I enjoyed the math, and the science, and the learning, I felt bad that my hobbies had nothing to do with any of that. I wanted to read literature. Study religions. Delve into psychology and the human brain. Knit! Meditate! Explore the country and the world. I graduated a mechanical engineer and cannot tell you almost anything about cars (including makes or engines) and then got my masters in aerospace/aeronautical engineering and I can’t pick out one plane from another. In the last few years my interest in my work has started to fade as well. I’ve started to get bored. I used to enjoy work most days but now I need a challenge for me to become absorbed and lose track of time. Meanwhile get me reading on my hobbies and the time flies by. Perhaps I am a multipotentialite. It would make sense.  My next question perhaps should be what’s next 🙂

What do you think? Are you a specialist or a multipotentialite?
