There was one thing that Dr. King didn't do


Martin Luther King Jr. was a great example of what a leader should be.  We all know of his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, but that was just one piece of the elaborate puzzle that Dr. King put together in his time. From being the youngest person up to that point to win the Nobel Peace Prize (age 35) to leading his "Poor People's Campaign" to start a multicultural movement to provide aid to the less fortunate, Dr. King inarguably made a difference.

There was one thing that Dr. King didn't do.  He didn't wait for someone else to make the changes that were needed.  He didn't make excuses.  He didn't complain that he didn't have enough money or time or resources.  He MADE it happen.

Leaders don't wait around on things to happen.  They make things happen.  Make things happen today in your relationships, your job, your passion.  No one else is going to do the hard work.  Be the one to do it.  Make Dr. King proud.
