Your Vocation Is Calling—Are You Ready to Listen?

Vocation isn’t something you chase. It’s something that calls you.

At first, it’s a whisper. A quiet knowing that something more is waiting.

Most people resist it. That’s part of the journey.

Because answering the call means leaving behind what is familiar.

It means facing the parts of yourself that would rather stay safe, stay small, stay unseen.

It means walking away from the version of success that was handed to you—so you can step into the life that’s actually yours.

Joseph Campbell called this The Hero’s Journey.

• The Call: A restlessness you can’t explain. A pull toward something unknown.

• The Resistance: Fear. Doubt. The part of you that asks, But what if I fail?

• The Threshold: The moment you decide to follow it anyway.

But here’s what Campbell doesn’t always say outright—this journey isn’t about what you accomplish. It’s about what you become.

And this is where Richard Rudd’s wisdom comes in:

You don’t have to force your vocation.

You don’t have to fight to find it.

You just have to soften into it.

Because your highest calling has always been there—beneath the noise, beneath the conditioning, beneath the stories you were told about who you need to be.

Your only job is to listen.

• What pulls at you, even when you try to ignore it?

• What patterns keep showing up in your life, as if trying to get your attention?

• What happens when you stop asking what should I do and start asking who am I meant to be?

Your vocation is calling.

The question is—are you ready to hear it?
