On vocation and calling

I recently shared with someone that I felt similarly to what the prayer expresses and I was told that I need to “get it all figured out.” This prayer is comforting.

I just read a line that says ‘Vocation is not achieved it is recieved as a gift…(Palmer)…Frederick Buechner defines vocation as ‘the place where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need’ (Palmer ‘Let your life speak’, 2000)
I think, and I say think because I am not clear on the reason why, but I think that when people say things like ‘get it all figured out’, it says a lot about their own lack of meaning and purpose.
