Yes. You do.

In fact, it is clearly a calling.

I believe Aristotle nailed it.

“Where the needs of the world and your talents cross, there lies your vocation.” — Aristotle

In a world gone mad for purpose and meaning, we are often stunned when the answer is laid so simple and bare.

Talent is not skill. The dictionaries are full of shit. Talent is that soft calling deep in your bones to write, to share, to explore. And when we ask the questions you are now asking, we enter the space of awareness where we contemplate the role of our efforts and the needs of the world. The overlap between this call and this need is where purpose and vocation are found, regardless of the privilege we were born into or the voices of doubt that rage so loudly in our mind and bodies.

Keep digging and keep writing.
