Things came to a head last night and what came out of it is how the sense of outrage and injustice I've carried waylays any capacity to move forward.
I've heard about self-importance since forever and a day but didn't really put it together that my outrage was grown out of self-importance. "What about me?"
When I think about it, in the moment of attack (or perceived attack) there is no outrage. That comes later when I have decided, "That shouldn't have happened!"
It's so pervasive! In this culture it is abnormal to not be outraged about something. To a large extent it's what moves us in our circles. I'm seeing that doing what has to be done simply does not require it.
And that is getting to the question: "What does it mean to ACT from the heart?" I've found that I can speak from the heart, but to act?
