Canon
•
Palmer: vocation is not what you choose to do but what your true self is called to do. The false self pursues careers for status; the true self pursues work that expresses who you genuinely are.
•
Palmer: social change begins when individuals refuse to live divided — when they take responsibility for aligning their outer lives with their inner truth. Rosa Parks didn't decide to resist; she became unable to comply.
