Practice and Listen
What did I enjoy most?
What did I do best?
What do my friends love the most?
What new input did I get?
And how can I use this to shape my voice further?

The Calling

Define Your Voice (Proactive Way)
1) What are your greatest passions? What do you love to do?
2) What are your skills and talents? What do you do best?
3) Think about how that could benefit other people. How did you create value for others?
4) Is this the right thing to do? Does it fulfill you with meaning? Is your conscience giving you green light?

Take a moment and think about it. Define your voice by reflecting on your passion, skills and where you can connect with people
