You may feel, especially when young, that you have not yet found the work that truly fits your thinking, that your intellectual calling is still forming. That is the nature of this gift: it matures on its own schedule, and the mental vocation you grow into is the more authentic for the wait.

Lean in — Trust the slow ripening of your intellectual calling.
Watch for — Force a finished intellectual path before it has matured.
