Embrace Gifts and Limits Alike!
While it is affirming to hear that we need to find callings that match our gifts, it is positively liberating to hear that, "It's okay to have limits! and it's okay to move away from callings that is squarely on our limits!"
I think that's the biggest message I took away the first reading of this book. It's a difficult message to derive on my own in a competitive society, in which we always seek to improve, change, and at worst, cover up our limits so that we may appear as "gifted" as the next. But here, Parker Palmer is suggesting that ... stop ... let your gifts be gifts and limits be limits. Your limits can guide you to and away from callings just as capably as your gifits will.
It's an uplifting message, like many of Parker Palmer's other books.
