Martin Luther King, Jr. - Inspiration for Us All

It has been quite some time since I've had the chance to sit down and update my blog. In all honesty, I don't have an adequate amount of time to blog at the current moment. However, I felt compelled to do so in honor of this national holiday that celebrates the life of a man who was and still remains an inspiration to us all - Martin Luther King, Jr. 

King once stated that, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Although I have chosen to live a life where I try to nurture my dreams with a bit of hard work so that they'll ripen into reality, one thing that has remained constant is my inability to see the entire staircase. I'm not certain of where my first place of employment will be. I'm unsure of when I'll purchase my first home. I'm even uncertain of how I will impact the community that I live in. Despite those uncertainties, there is one thing that I am sure of - I will be someone who makes a difference in this world! Hopefully, in reading this, you too will be inspired to ignite a positive change in your own life and the lives of others. 

Today someone told me that you don't have to be the best, you simply have to care the most. With faith, love and the courage to act, I'm sure that we can make this world a better place. King's legacy lives inside of all of us. Stand up! Act! Let his legacy and the premises upon which he stood for be your fuel for change. It only takes faith and a step to begin a new journey.
