Paul, so well stated…”Growing up in a Christian subculture where there is much more emphasis placed on being sufficiently cloaked in humility, it is hard to train myself that it is all right to build on my strengths.” Thank you! Have you read/heard of the book Strengths Finder? It’s great at identifying the very thing you mention.

Comment on What is Your Vocation? What is Your Calling? by Paul Angone

@Lesley – Thanks for the encouragement and for offering us a definition to your calling. It’s such a hard thing to define, especially since I’ve mostly thought of calling as an outcome, not as a way to live life throughout the details. It’s been a freeing revelation, but a tough definition to make tangible. It took me a lot of time, silence, reflection, and prayer to fully understand mine. I’m sure our definitions will grow, but this is a start.

What a fabulous post, Paul. Really, it’s one of your best. I love the Bonhoeffer quote. You used it in just the right place to make your point.

I think my vocation is something along the lines of being here on earth to encourage and offer new perspective–through the verbal and written word. I dunno–it makes more sense in my own head than on screen.

I’d trade with you! I think that you’re right about women getting the attention visually, and I’d be happy to not have to deal with it. Do I really want to spend my life purpling my toes?

My guess is that it has everything to do with basic biology. Physical attractiveness is the most important thing about women, while power is the most important thing about men.

I think this idea is CAPITAL. You need to jump on it. Before someone else does!

Yep, it’s true. I dress more for other women than for men. If I only cared about male attention, I’d rarely have to go shopping. Clothing retailers are sooo lucky.

Hahaha…Lindsay, spot on. Thank you for shedding some light on this inner dialogue for me. I think this is extremely freeing for me to hear (and any other random guys reading this).

Keep your ears peeled. I’m working on a deal with a three radio stations that will have it on the airwaves tomorrow!

And you’re right, I had been feeling a little feverish. A good prescription would be lots more cowbell.

Can’t wait to hear it on the radio next year. And don’t forget to add some cowbell.
