Do You Want to Connect With Your Calling? Your Childhood May Hold the Key

The best gift I ever received transformed into the best day of the month for me as a kid:

A subscription to Road & Track magazine.

I couldn’t wait to see what was on the cover, and I couldn’t wait to pour through the pages and memorize more stats:

• 0–60
• 1/4
• Top Speed
• Horsepower

I could recite this info for the cars I loved as if I was saying my own name.

I would study each issue as if the biggest test of my life was always around the corner.

Did I study the same way for school?

I laugh even as I type this.

I no longer subscribe to any of the magazines but regularly attend as many Cars and Coffee, Caffeine & Carburetors, and car shows as I can during the spring, summer, and fall.

I still light up when I see a car I love driving down the road, and I keep an eye on Bring A Trailer (auction site) to see what’s on the market.

Why do I do this?

Because it brings me joy and meaning.

There doesn’t need to be any other reasons beyond that.
