2. Everyone has their own specific
vocation or mission in life. Everyone
must carry out a concrete assignment
that demands fulfillment. Therein he
cannot be replaced, nor can his life
be repeated. Thus, everyone's task
is unique as his specific opportunity
to implement it.
–Viktor E. Frankl

hint from God. A person must follow
it. If God does not want it, then let
Him hinder it. The person must not
hinder it himself.
– Soren Kierkegaard
