Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I woke up this morning thinking about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and what he stood for… equality, compassion, taking a stand. He was fearless. And, nothing was going to stand in his way of shouting the TRUTH from the mountain tops. What he gave to all of us was the most precious gift. The gift of a role model who would endure the test of time. He changed our culture, how we saw each other and how we behaved toward one another. And, he did so in a way that gave back… after all, he gave the most precious resource he had. He gave his life.

What do you stand for? How do you give your gifts to the world?

I’ve been life coaching now for almost six years and can only dream of inspiring so many with such a profound message. I can only hope to touch as many lives, to change a culture… change a world. For me to do so, requires that I learn from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. No, it’s not likely that I will meet up with the type of resistance that he did. It’s not likely that I will be faced with giving my life for my cause. And, I won’t dare to place myself even at the base of the pedestal that I put him on.

The lessons that he holds for me are about fearlessness, never giving up, staying true to who I am and the very reason I was placed on this planet. To allow my voice to bellow to the crowds even when I’m afraid to do so. To hold true to my personal values even at the risk of rejection. To forgive those who have wronged me. And to love unconditionally.

For me, one of the greatest gifts in life is when I realize how much I inspire others. This gift is given to me each time I see the twinkle of an aha! in a client’s eye. Or, I receive a thank you note from a client who graduated years ago. These gifts keep me going. It’s not so much about receiving money to do what I do, even though money pays the bills. It’s about touching the lives of women globally who have fear that holds them back.

Sending positive energy into the world can be so simple.  And, only good can come from that.

How can you give to yourself by giving back to others?

What do you stand for?

And, how can we collectively give thanks to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by honoring his legacy, loving one another and embracing equality world wide?
