The 3 Big Questions of Vocation
1) What brings me life? (think: passions, what I really enjoy doing)
2) What am I good at (or could become good at)? (think: skills, talents, etc.--whether they are known or yet-to-be-discovered and developed)
3) What does the world need? (think: what stirs compassion and commitment to others' well-being)
*One's vocation encompasses the answers to all 3 of these questions (in other words, where they intersect)

I like this post. These 3 questions may become printed out, and stuck up somewhere in my room to remind me of how to be more intentional in including God in my life. This is like examen meets vocation discernment :)
