KING'S LEGACY | |
My last issue (click here) was titled "Reckless, Stubborn, and Successful." Today we commemorate the legacy of a man who paved the way for equality by being recklessly courageous and stubborn. In 1955, King accepted the leadership of the first black nonviolent demonstration in contemporary times in the United States. He organized and led a bus boycott that lasted 382 days, eventually leading to the Supreme Court declaring unconstitutional the laws that had allowed segregation on buses. During the boycott, King was arrested, his home bombed, and he was subjected to personal abuse. Yet he never resorted to violence and preached against it.
His goal and his dream was civil rights, equality, and unity. While his dream seemed unattainable and even crazy to some, his determination (healthy stubborness) prevailed. He didn't just follow his dream; he literally, with reckless courage, marched BOLDLY to proclaim his dream and the dreams of millions!

EXERCISE | |
This week, I invite you to dream about something very important to you. It could be a charity, a cause, something personal, or related to your profession or others. Brainstorm one dream. Be BOLD. Don't be concerned whether others would consider it unattainable or foolish.
Please write down your dream. Take your first step in proclaiming your dream by simply sharing it with me. I will listen to you and am available to assist in acheiving your dream. |
