A Vocational Life Calling

Vocational activities and personal contributions made to ‘give’ in life say more about a person’s character, passionate purpose, and state of consciousness than any other ongoing factors in their life.  Charity begins in the community.  Social service and philanthropy build with transcending wisdom, a desire for altruism and an empathetic desire to lessen suffering in our world.

There is a well-known truth passed on by many great Spiritual leaders that states the more we personally experience suffering the more compassion and tolerance we grow inside our being.  The more we share and support the alleviation of suffering with others, the more feelings of gratitude we grow for every ‘little’ moment and gift of life experience.

Ultimately, with life ‘purpose’ comes giving and contribution.  And then comes ‘passion’ or the exhilarating feeling that we, in our smallness, have the power to make positive impacts that set us free in this life and beyond.

Vivienne Tobassa has made Spiritual Service to the planet, her species and humanity her mantle in life.  Some key inspirational contributions are highlighted.
