"The problem with quotes on the internet is that it is hard to verify their authenticity." Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln didn't say that Jim - - you silly willie.  Ben Franklin did.

>> Thanks for this Forbes article, Steve.  I observe myself and others needing, and having the opportunity to, re-find our "calling".  This happens often as circumstances change - health, economic resources, people dying, new friends, new ideas, communities/institutions dying,  communities/institutions showing signs of new life, etc. .  And the more I am sensitive to the nuances of my situation, the more I realize that there are open doors in even the most restrictive situations (The Future Is Open) - so circumstances are always changing, at least somewhat. 
>>  
>> In Forbes, such a dollar oriented publication, this author uses the word "calling" - that comes from a religious tradition - our human concept of who God is *  "calling" us to know-do-be something.  She makes good points - including taking the long view (what does the future require?).  But "following your dreams" doesn't quite cut it as a total substitute for using what you have to serve the needs of the universe.
