Did I Miss My Calling?

Lately it has seemed as though everyone and their mothers are calling on me for advice or just to lend an ear.  I don't have a problem with that at all.  It simply makes me think that I may have missed my calling.  Or at least one of them.  I love people and I hate to see people in pain.  I'm always looking for new ways to inspire others to reach their goals or solve their problems.  I think the biggest reason I couldn't be a psychiatrist is that I'm way too empathetic.  I would probably take on my clients' issues and start to feel overwhelmed.  I wouldn't know how to leave it all at the job.  But maybe, just maybe, I have another gift that I never fully explored.
