They say that once you awaken you will see your true calling and how you gonna serve others.It's been 2 years now after my experience but I feel that I do not see my natural calling yet.
Also I doubt it should be called awakening cause my ego returned and I notice the thoughts in my mind again.
I have natural inclination at the moment to help others but how can I? I feel like I have no skills to help others. I lived in the egoistic mind for such a long time and I mastered online poker and digital marketing. Don't see how this would be of service to others. It's quite the opposite - poker is being dominant and taking $$$ from players who are not quite knowledgeable. And digital marketing essential skill is manipulate person into buying your product.
I was thinking about to start helping novices with meditation and concentration practices. Would that be a good service for others?
Thank you

Indeed it would be great! Also other activities of service may include translating spiritual readings that you like, ONGs, helping local people etc.
Best,

Google effective altruism.
One part of its philosophy is that if you want to do good and you have a career that makes a decent wage but the job does not help anyone, sometimes the most good you can do is to donate a percentage of your earnings to good charity's.

Hi nothingatall
Here is challenge for you: discover the enlightened side of marketing.
Many have. Take Seth Godin: "Marketing relies on empathy and service" he writes. "Marketing is the generous act of helping someone solve a problem."
And there must be others who agree with him, as his book "This Is Marketing" is considered a must-read by many marketeers.

One experience on its own is not going to do much. What has been your practice over the last 2 years?

Hi nothingatall, sorry this response is weeks later but I haven?t been on forum in a bit...I wonder if you can identify what you enjoy doing? What is something that ?re-creates? your energy? That?s a good starting place. Creating a vision board is a great activity as well (cut out pics and words that appeal to you from magazines even if you?re not sure why it appeals to you). Over time as you continue to sit for meditation, you will connect more regularly with your higher self and answers will start to naturally flow more and more. Ask that question to God/Divine/Universe, ?where am I meant to be?? Then look for signs and syncronisities that will remind you that you are in the right path. Then you will see that indeed have purpose and are not ?nothingatall?! Blessings to you! Chard
