The Art of Work

Ashlyn Barrett

One way of knowing our gifting is when something that seems easy to us doesn’t seem easy to others. 

The secret of success is that sometimes getting everything you want doesn't always make you happy.

A calling comes when we embrace the pain, not avoid it. Pain and suffering are not strong enough to keep us from our purpose. In fact, they can sometimes be the very catalysts for such discoveries.

And where does it begin? With awareness. With discovering what your life is already saying to you. 

Every story of success is, in fact, a story of community. 

We have believed the myth of the self-made man and have given in to the illusion of self-reliance. What we need is something to pull us out of our own independence and arrogance. 

The Christian faith is my answer to what science cannot understand. 

But what science can't prove—what we still don't know—is what makes a person want to practice in the first place. 

A calling is not merely a moment; it’s a lifestyle, a constant progression of submitting to a larger purpose.
