Passionately Alive

"So to act on what matters, we must choose to define our place more broadly. We do not justify it with instrumental explanations, because we are unwilling to shrink the best part of ourselves. We decide at this moment to be accountable for something larger, for the whole, for the common good, and this is a more powerful definition of accountability. I no longer dilute my own freedom. I exchange what seems like safety for a life that matters, caring for the whole." -Peter Block
