And so whether you use the map system or what system you do, there are all kinds of testing agencies out there.
Try to discern as soberly and as objectively as you can the profile that fits you, that discerns what your abilities are and what your inclinations and motivations are.
And as much as you possibly can, try to match those with your job.
Now, some people, they say that work in order to live
and other people who live in order to work.
There are some people who say, thank God it's Friday because I can go home from my job, and other people who say, thank God it's Monday because I can get back in my vocation again.
There are actually people who can't wait to get to work.
And this is the way God originally ordained work to be.
Work is not the curse of the fall.
Labor was given to Adam and Eve in the garden before sin ever entered the world.
Engaging in meaningful labor and toil and industry and work is part of what we were designed to do as creatures.
And if your work is a curse to you, you ought to be asking yourself the question, am I in the right position?
Do I really have a vocation here?
Or am I swimming against the stream and I'm engaged in something just because it pays well or because it gives me security or somebody else thinks I ought to be there?
Because life is more than security.
Life is more than a paycheck.
And work is such an important part of who we are.
