So powerful in its simplicity, and its ‘calling’ over’ career’ applies to more than just work :-)

Very well written, and it beautifully aligns with one of the world's most acclaimed pieces of advice from Bhagwad Gita, written 1000's of years ago on Indian soil. The Gita refers to identifying your Swadharma (whats your purpose and duty), and Swakarma (whats your chosen activity as a life) in its various chapters, 18 in total. However I have a follow on question, is this possible and doable for people who have already got financial freedom, security and many things taken care of, for eg: you having sold your company for an undisclosed amount with a 6-figure revenue in college, gives your the courage, and freedom to introspect and pursue this. What about billions of people who are far from that situation? Hence, does it not vary hugely with the underlying context? Your thoughts, please.
