John P. Schuster in Answering Your Call: A Guide for Living Your Deepest Purpose. (2003, Berrett-Koehler Publishers.)
“Calls are invitations from life to serve, to activate your will toward a cause worthy of you and the human family. They are purposes with a voice, visions turned into inner commands. Calls draw you into the specifics of a purpose and a vision.
“A call is the impulse to move ahead in a meaningful way. It is a mind-body push into the future.
“A call is part intellectual and part emotional; your human will, moving you in one direction and not in a thousand other possible ones.…
“Calls are the source of the lasting creativity in our lives.
“Does this answer the question of what a call is? Of course not.
“No one knows for sure what calls are. That is the best part about them. Calls remain in the realm of the mysterious.” (13-14)
