Many people I know, know their gifts and talents. What they're good at and so forth, however, none of them know their calling in life. You know what mandate was put on you, what you're really suppose to do. I find that erie, that it even exists in man kind. What is a calling? Many wander lost in life, and many don't. According to the Christian and Muslim faiths, that calling is inheriting the Kingdom of God and Allah. That calling for them in spreading the good news and whatever else comes with that. But if you don't believe in those faiths, your calling is that simple thing you relay on day to day. Your gift, and that gift maybe whatever, bet you relay on it. And in some ways we have to.
But I'm curious, what do you think of gifts, callings, and talents? Are they one in the same, or different?

That is a good question ChelsMarlene - especially when your search goes on and you are not really aware what more gifts you have got... i.e. abt 4 years ago - i had no idea abt the webpics i create, cause then i did not even have the "inspiration" - you know what is meant? MAYBE you have got talents which only reveal in 2 - 3 years or this year or not in this life... You are not even aware of them (yet) - and then the calling surely becomes differently - i.e. increases - regarding for ex: spirituality or cooking or another hobby/profession etc. - you do not even think abt right now... Cause it has not revealed yet... BTW: 1,5 years ago - i did not even know abt SUGAR -
so all that "crystalized" and now i am addicted to Sugar - yet not to sugar... 

- love the question
1Now, ChelsMarlene there goes another perspective...
well for me you might have many gifts but the important thing is if you're willing to share it with others or how you planned on sharing it... i.e lets say you sing really well,and sometimes you decide to sing in cafes and stuff,you have a choice between singing uplifting song or vulgar ones...it all depends on how you use your gift,bill gates had a gift with computers instead of being a hacker he decided to share it with everybody and now we have microsoft....so find your gift that GOD gave you and use it well...
2WOW Kty - GREAT OPINION
3I think we are born with many gifts to share.Talents and callings to me are a gift that we should share with others in the pursuit of making this world a better place to be.
4I think that even if you feel you do not have any gifts, someone out there thinks that you do. It is all in the perspective of the other person. People tell me about my gifts and I just look at it like it is a part of my persoanlity.
5:HUGS to all... And after reading what has been said thus far, I have to say there is no wrong or right answer to this... Just because we all been through something different, regarding are gifts, callings, and or talents.... So anyways, THANKS for a responds...
"Blimey, I did it again..."
