The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Today I am feeling reflective, partly because of the day and what we are celebrating and the other part is just simply life. This morning when I woke up, I saw so many status' that were promoting peace, hope, love, faith, everything that we should promote on any other day...But, it is MLK Jr. day and he has, through his many speeches inspired all of us to reflect on our lives and who we are as a people; where we came from, and where we are going. With every quote I see and the humility that people are showing, it is convicting me personally because the way that we all feel so inspired to live TODAY should be the inspiration that we strive for on a daily basis..But it's not..
So in my convictions, I feel like being real and challenging others, the one's with the profound status' and everyone else, to keep this peaceful mindset, even when life is hard, even when the day is just simply Monday, with no attachments to Martin Luther King, Jr..
Feel encouraged when life is discouraging..
Be hopeful when thing look grim.
Give love to others, even when you feel angry.
Walk in faith when you cannot see the outcome.
Live life, when you feel like there's nothing left to live for,
Dream, even if you just awoke from a nightmare.
Have a beautiful day everyone!!
