Shape is an acrostic that I borrowed from Pastor Rick Warren and they stand for:
Spiritual Gifts (9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit)
Heart (our passion)
Abilities (Things that we are good at)
Personality (Our distinctive character)
Experiences (Our personal encounters)
When we do what God Shaped us to do:
We enjoy it!
We are good at it!
The first part of which is Spiritual Gift

Interests - If you are not interested to what you are doing, it will be a total DRAG!
Desires - Everything starts from it, unless we desire it, we can forget about it!
Dreams -
Remember to always take caution when listening to our hearts, because our hearts may at times, got:
Beat up!
Bumped up!
Broken!
These maybe caused by our:
Battles
Burdens
Backgrounds
And it is not best for us to “Hear our Heart” when our heart is in that state

Some Pharisees came to Jesus asking Him why His disciples breaks the tradition of not washing their hands before they eat
Jesus’ reply was, “and why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?”
And He goes… “What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them”
Matthew 15:
What Causes the Heart to Stop?… What defiles it?
Matthew 15:18-19

Put both of your hands on top of each other, over your heart… ready?...(inhale… exhale)
Do you know that our heartbeats are unique?…

Did you know that 53% of People in America are UNHAPPY at Work?

According to Barna Group:
Even if Millennials expect to float from job to job, they are not searching aimlessly.
When asked what their “dream job” looks like, the most common answer,

And having enough money to enjoy life (24%),
Jobs that they are “passionate” about (42%).
Only 31 percent of Millennials feel “called” to their current work.
44% percent of them actually feel called to do something other than their current job
but, haven’t been willing to make change yet because of their current financial situation.
They anticipate changing jobs often and will likely do so in pursuit of work that better aligns with their passions
Millennials; they anticipate changing jobs often and will likely do so in pursuit of work that better aligns with their passions
“As more Millennials begin to have families, their ideals for a job—to make an impact, to pursue their passions—may take a backseat to financial compensation
