Vacations and Vocations

8/3/2015

Whilst travelling in Montreal last week I met an Australian travelling across North America for a few weeks. As it seems to go with most Australians, this wasn’t the first big trip. 5 months in South America, a trip to Europe, multiple excursions to South Asia. She was in her early thirties and still looking for a meaningful career.

I contrasted her story with mine. She wisely pointed out that even on this ‘vacation’ trip to Montreal and Toronto it was dominated by work. We agreed that some are good at vocations, others vacations.

Frankly, I thought you could have both, but I’m not sure at this point. If you want an all-consuming purpose, be prepared for the potential side effects on your happiness and sense of rest.
