If you are truly practicing your Professional Destiny, you are taking full responsibility for yourself and the choices you make. It doesn’t sound like your friend is doing this. It’s great that he loves to support the church, but he needs to figure out how do it and not burden others who haven’t signed up to support him. If you haven’t agreed to support him through this (which it doesn’t sound like you have) then he’s not living in full integrity by taking advantage of others, no matter how religious he is.

Remember, a profession is exactly that, a profession. You get paid to do it. If not, it’s classified as a hobby or an interest. Sounds like your friend might need to be reminded of this.

I have a friend who lives in my home. He is separated from his wife and has two children. He gets up every morning to pray and does volunteer work at the church. He works diligently at the church, but he doesn’t get paid, so he depends on me for everything. Also, he does not have money to pay bills or his personal needs. When i tell him to get a job. He says he works at the church, but doesn’t get paid. In addition, he says he will only work for meat that does not perish, but he uses the resources and eats the food i worked for. He is a true man of God, His whole life is going to church, where sings and plays the piano, but i am confused. Can you give some advice.

Iram – very good question! Since the explanation is a bit long, you have inspired me to write a new blog entry, which I will post very soon. Thanks for your comment.

I agree that it is about “strength” when it comes to finding one’s professional destiny. Perhaps the “strength” is about getting over the unknown. Every professional “fails” and falls down, but not knowing when or how is terrifying. For me, I made the leap with my first business and it was scary! Of course I failed, but, looking back, I couldn’t have succeeded the second time without that perspective.
