Robin Sharma Quotes

Vocation is the place where the world's greatest need and a person's greatest joy meet.

Never underestimate the vital importance of finding early in life the work that for you is play.

Set yourself earnestly to discover what you are made to do, and then give yourself passionately to the doing of it.

The best definition I have ever heard of a vocation is that it's the place where your great joy meets the world's great need. We need all of you to find your vocation. To develop your joys, your passions, and to match them to the world's great needs.

I feel blessed. So many men and women search and search but never find their passion, their calling, their sense of mission that would ignite their hearts and fill their lives with meaning and joy.

I was lucky enough to know exactly what I wanted to do when I was growing up. I think one of the hardest things to figure out in life is what your calling is, and what truly makes you happy - not what you want to work at, but what you want to do.

When something is a vocation, you don't really make a decision about it.

It's getting harder to make decisions to just want to do something to work... I'm trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

I never struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me.

The only durable sense of success is if you've followed your calling.

If you don't wake up and have your own thing, whether it's writing or reading or traveling or acting or dancing or singing or being a mother or a father, something that drives you, then it's all worth nothing. One of the key elements in happiness is purpose.

When you get to do things you love with every fiber of your being, it's a different experience.

I love what I do, and I never thought about doing anything else. I think my voice was bestowed upon me; it was a gift I was given. I just had to learn to understand how to use it.

A job is how you make money. A career is how you make your mark. A calling is how you acknowledge a higher vision, whatever it may be.

Purpose has to do with one's calling - deciding what business you are in as a person.

My dad, I still think, had the most beautiful, simple checklist for what you should do in life: Do something you really love that you would do it anyway. Do it in the most adventurous place you can do it. And make sure that it helps other people. And if you feel there's a genuine need for it, and that through that need you can help other people, you're home.

For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work.

Your work is not your job. Your job is what they pay you to do; your work is what you were born to do.

Your vocation lies in the intersection of the world's deep need and your deep joy.

By and large a good rule for finding out is this: the kind of work God usually calls you to is the kind of work a) that you need most to do and b) the world most needs to have done. If you really get a kick out of your work, you've presumably met requirement a), but if your work is writing TV deodorant commercials, the chances are you've missed requirement b).

Whether you've found your calling, or if you're still searching, passion should be the fire that drives your life's work.

There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.

Love your calling with passion, it is the meaning of your life.

Do what brings you joy, and your purpose will unfold.

When the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing...you are doing what you were meant to be doing.
