Steve Harvey on Career vs. Calling

Posted by admin on Saturday, September 27, 2014

Steve Harvey Money Quotation saying a career is how your services are valued; a calling is what value you bring. Steve Harvey said:
 

 

“Your career is what you’re paid for. Your calling is what you’re made for” — Steve Harvey

 

 

This quote from Steve Harvey draws a distinction between a career and a calling. A career refers to one’s job or profession that provides financial compensation – what one is “paid for” to do. But a calling involves a deeper sense of purpose, something one feels drawn to or “made for” regardless of monetary rewards.

Harvey seems to suggest that while a career can support oneself, true fulfillment comes from identifying and pursuing one’s unique talents and passions, even if that means work that isn’t the highest paying. The quote implies people should strive to align their careers with their callings to find work that is personally meaningful in addition to being practical or lucrative.

Your career is what you're paid for. Your calling is what you're made for.
