What is my job during this time?
There are moments in life when we suddenly listen – moments when a quiet but persistent voice awakens in us. Right now, in the middle of the change, social upheavals and profound uncertainties, this voice sounds clearer than ever. She asks: “What is my job during this time?”
Recognize your own task
The question seems simple, but it is profound and extensive. It challenges us to pause, listen, to go deeper. It invites us to rediscover our place on the whole. Because especially now that a lot changes where old breaks and new things are not yet clearly visible, we feel: Everyone has a task that goes beyond the mere everyday business. The question arises whether we want to accept it or not.
Perhaps your job is to be a light that gives orientation. Not by teaching others or presenting solutions, but by being authentic. By living your life in a way, the other inspires to recognize their own light and bravely carry it into the world. Perhaps you are here to remember – what really matters, which is often forgotten in the middle of noise and distraction: love, attachment, compassion.
But it could also be that your task is to heal in these times. Not necessarily with your hands, maybe with your heart. Healing often happens quietly and inconspicuously – by listening, through honest encounters, through the willingness to look together into the pain of the world and still not to despair. Your presence alone can already appear healing if you dare to be vulnerable and open.
Letting go and creating space
Sometimes we only recognize our task when we are ready to let go. Letting go of old identities, of what we believe to be, or the urge to constantly want to do something. Your job could be to create space – space for new, space for others, space for your own soul to breathe and develop.
You can not find the answer to what your task is during this time, but in yourself. It reveals itself in the heart in moments of silence, intuition. It shows itself in what really moves you, which touches and fulfills you. If you feel honestly into yourself, you can see that your task is never a burden, but rather a deep reputation, an invitation to be really yourself.
Because in truth we are all part of a greater change – every single person counts. Your task is not accidental, but part of a large whole that you may not always understand but can feel. If you accept your task, you will feel that you are worn, led by something bigger that goes beyond you.
And that is exactly the beauty of this question. It connects us again with the essentials: with ourselves, together and with life itself. She reminds us that we are never alone in this way.
This remains vigilant and gently at the same time. Listen to this quiet voice in you again and again, which leads you, which shows you where your place is in this large whole. Your job is already waiting for you – and you will know when it is time to follow her.
