Use Your Talents to Serve Hashem
It states in the Aseres לא תשא ,(20:6 Shemos (HaDibros שם ה' אלקיך לשוא כי לא ינקה ה' את carry t’Don ",אשר ישא שמו לשוא Hashem's name in vain because Hashem will not forgive those who carry His name in vain." The Netziv zt’l explains that this pasuk refers to the unique talents that Hashem grants each individual. Some sing well, and some excel in teaching Torah, while others are talented storytellers, and so on. The talent is 'ה שם, Hashem's name. The Torah says that one mustn't carry his talent לשוא, for no כי לא ינקה ה' את אשר ישא .purpose לשוא שמו, Hashem won't forgive him for doing so.
Where Your Heart Pulls You How does one identify his life mission?
We discussed that one should utilize his unique talents, but that isn't all. Another way is to see what you enjoy doing and where your heart pulls you. Hashem placed this desire into your heart because He wants you to excel in that realm. The Netziv (Haamek Davar 15:39) writes, "If someone will ask you: Which approach of Torah study should I follow, and which mitzvos should I focus on the most? Reply (Koheles 11:9), your Follow ',והלך בדרך לבך heart.' The place where your heart pulls you is a sign that your mazal understands this is a good path for your soul." Rav Biderman, bemidbar 5783
