Authenticity distinguishes between a hobby and a calling. A hobby is something you like to do when you can. A calling is something that won__ wait. There is a different sound to one versus the other. Your hobby brings you joy but it is not a priority. Your calling is impolite and disruptive and doesn__ care whether it__ a good time or not.
Every step you take, every breath, every conversation, your calling is center stage. There is no longer a piece here and a piece there, but there is wholeness. The sound of your voice and the sound of your life have come together.
