A Great Definition of Vocation

February 27, 2025 By Pam Pulizzi

I recently heard a great sermon. The Reverend was talking about how he found his grandpa‘s old watch from the 1960s or 70s that was given as a gift for 40 years of service at the person’s work. He was even wearing the watch to show everyone the stretchy band that was so popular back then.

Reverend went on to say how he remembered how much his grandpa loved his work. The sermon then evolved into talking about vocations. How different people are called to do different things. He gave a great definition of vocation. He said it’s the combination of doing what you’re passionate about, with what helps the greatest needs of society.

I think speech therapists are one of the wonderful examples of this. We often take for granted how easy it is for many of us to communicate. Communication is the core of so many things. So my hat tip to those speech therapists out there doing what they love and helping so many people in our society.

During February, where themes often revolve around love, I hope YOU are doing what you are passionate about!
