I found the article "Let Your Life Speak" by Parker Palmer to be very interesting and informative. I agree with many of his points and, for the most part, share the same views with him on the topic of vocation. I agree that a vocation is a gift, and that everyone was born for some particular purpose.Each individual is given certain gifts to help his/her succeed in the world, although it may take some time for everyone to recognize their gifts. I think that everyone can relate to Palmer's experiences in struggling to find out who you are.
Palmer also comments on the fact that even though everyone is meant to do something, one must understand what they are doing in order to be successful. People who are ignorant, arrogant, and those who try to "override one's nature" will most likely always fail. Overall, I really enjoyed Palmer's article about vocation and I hope that I will soon find my calling in life.
