My dream job

Someday I want to... Probably most of us have thought that at some point. There is some dream job out there that that we idealize as the perfect opportunity. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, as it were.
It occurred to me today that maybe my dream job isn't really what I am called to do. Maybe it doesn't really line up with my talents and skills that God gave me. Maybe I idealize it because it is something I admire, despite the fact that it isn't for me. I think I would be much more content if I started seriously looking at the gifts and abilities I have and how to use them best and stop looking at the things I WISH I was good at.
If only I could be a "....", well, maybe that wouldn't really be me.
