It's great that you've shared these insights on finding your calling and distinguishing between a calling and a whim. Discovering one's true calling can indeed be a transformative and fulfilling journey. Here's a summary of the key points you've made:

1. Callings Can Find You: Instead of actively searching for your calling, sometimes it's about letting it find you. This perspective can take off the pressure of constantly seeking your life's purpose.
2. Let Go of the Idea of One True Calling: Not everyone has a single, lifelong calling. People might experience different callings at various stages of their lives. Instead of asking for "the one," consider what your calling is right now.
3. Do More of What Brings You Joy: True callings often align with activities or endeavors that bring deep joy and satisfaction. Pursuing these joy-filled activities can lead you toward your calling.
4. Follow Your Frustration: Identify the problems or issues that frustrate you the most. These can be hints toward your calling, as addressing these frustrations can bring a sense of purpose.
5. Stay Open to Possibilities: Callings don't usually present themselves fully formed. They often emerge gradually, and it's essential to remain open to the possibilities that come your way.
6. Your Calling Is Not Just About Your Career: Callings extend beyond your professional life. They can involve your family, community, or any area where you can make a positive impact.
7. Your Calling Is Not from You: Callings are often revealed to you through experiences and situations. They may not be something you can plan but will become evident as you serve others and contribute to the world.
8. Your Calling Is Not Future Tense: Your calling might already be present in your current circumstances. Focus on serving and fulfilling your purpose where you are now.
9. Signs You May Not Be in Your Calling: If you feel unfulfilled, stuck, or disconnected from your actions, these could be signs that you're not currently in your calling.
10. Signs You Have Found Your Calling: You know you've found your calling when you love what you do, your actions align with your plans, you enter a state of flow, you can't be deterred, you sense you're onto something big, and you're genuinely happy.

Finding your calling can be a lifelong journey, and it's never too late to start or make adjustments. Your calling can evolve as you grow and gain new experiences, so staying open to change is essential. Ultimately, following your calling can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
