There are two important things we all need to get right. If you can do these two things then, in a sense, you have "solved" life. You have done the two most important things that you can do with your life. The first thing is to enter into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Once you know your sins are forgiven and your place in heaven is secure, no matter what else happens to you, you have taken care of the rest of forever and guaranteed that you will have the ultimate happy ending.
The second thing we must do is to begin to live our lives so as to please God in the here and now. Do what He wants you to do right now. If you aren't sure you're in the place God wants you do be in terms of your vocation or your ministry, start doing what you are already doing with a sincere motivation to please Him. If you form the habit of dedicating the beginning and end of each segment of your day to Him, I believe that you will find Him willing and eager to guide you into any changes you need to make in your vocation and/or ministry. A humble custodian, sweeping and moping for God, with a clear sense that this is the place God wants him to be, is greater than Secretary General of the United Nations, if God has not called that man to be Secretary General. And at the last day, the humble custodian will receive eternal glory for every floor he swept and toilet he cleaned.
