I concur with Josh. It’s important to discern ones calling and to move in the direction you feel God may be calling you. Life is full of adjustments. No matter how big or small you should follow your calling. It may be a tiny position somewhere, but if that’s God’s plan for you, it will bring on greater joy. Look at Saint Therese of Lisieux “The Little Flower”. She found great joy in her life doing little tasks for God.

Christine-
I love this post! You put words to what I was feeling. I am getting out of the mindset that every single choice I make has life-or-death consequences. I just wrote about it in my own (new) blog. I’m learning to be more gentle and forgiving (or perhaps accepting) realizing that choices are only opportunities to learn, and define what you do or don’t want in your life. I am now undergoing the process of reading all your posts. It will probably take a while, but every post has been so helpful.

Point well taken, Josh! However, I’ve noticed in my work as a teacher, that people can take this concept (of which you have a clear understanding) and use it as an excuse for inaction. (which is what inspired me to write this.) Thanks for your thoughts!

I think you missed the deeper point. You see S. Covey isn’t talking about CEO-Land. He’s talking about life. Many high-profile people get to the “Top” (Hollywood, Music, Etc) only to relize that what they thought they would feel like when they “made it”, ended up being EMPTY (see Britney Spears and Kirk Cobain as examples). Many others (CEOs, Artisits, Sports Icons, etc) get to the top only to relize “emptiness” and they crash. Some that make it to the top figure it out…(Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Etc) that serving others is the only true way to find that lasting inner peace and add to the greater good of others, thus “the RIGHT Ladder.”

Most people don’t make it to the top. They either quit climbing (status quo), or keep jumping ladders (jobs / relationships), looking for the “right feeling”. Those that find it, know, and ARE happy. Those that DON’T find it, say that there is NO Ladder.
