No. Usually the voice of God calling us, (which is what vocation is), sounds most clearly in that coincidence of opportunity and circumstance, our own heart's desires, and that decisive act that enables us to put our lives where our best desires are, and to affirm who we are by putting ourselves in the place of new possibility.
I know of nobody who says that better than Buechner, in one of his finest pieces of applied theology and spiritual direction, reduced to essentials:
"The kind of work God usually calls you to
is the kind of work that you need most to do
and that the world most needs to have done…
The place God calls you to
is the place where your deep gladness
and the world’s deep hunger meet."
– Frederick Buechner, "Wishful Thinking" – his definition of 'vocation'.
