🌤 Morning Merit | Brick #81 | The Work You Are Actually Built For

Thomas Orms

2d • Morning Merits

You were not built to be a generic worker

plugged into any open slot.

You were built with temperament, story, scars,

and a particular weight your shoulders can carry

that someone else’s can’t.

Vocation is not,

“Be grateful for whatever job you have

and pretend it’s your life’s calling.”

Vocation is,

“Steward the work in your hands today

while telling the truth about the work

you’re actually designed to do.”

Some assignments are bridge jobs—

they pay the bills and buy you time.

They deserve honesty and effort,

but they are not the whole story.

Some assignments are Second Floor work—

the kind of work that, even when it’s hard,

rings true in your chest.

You feel God’s breath on it.

You sense, “If I keep building here,

this could bless generations.”

Today is not about torching your current job

or baptizing it as your forever calling.

Today is about ruthless clarity:

What belongs on your Second Floor?
What is just passing through?

You honor God, yourself, and others

when you stop lying about which is which.

💭 Reflection: What part of your current work feels like “bridge work” and what part feels like true Second Floor assignment—and what small step can you take today to give more energy to the work you are actually built for?
