King-Sized Inspiration
Today, we recognize and celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr—a man who spoke boldly and bravely of the essentials of peace, justice and love. Often times we get caught up in life and how our fiscal year compared to the former year. Our long-term plans are short of ambition, and the goals we set are predominantly founded on numbers, rather than the values that King spoke so passionately about.
What about you? Are you connecting your daily actions, your career, and your life, to a greater, nobler purpose?
I can’t claim that my life or long term aspirations always contribute to King’s ideal of a world in which peace, justice and love reign supreme. But listening to the speech he gave at the end of the Montgomery March on March 25, 1965, has inspired me to dream more about the long view, to think outside myself in areas of my career and in my life. I hope this post encourages you to do the same.
