MLK DAY IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY. I always go for a ride to ponder the hopes and dreams I have for my family and myself.
But, dreams are cheap.
They are nothing without courage.
Courage can get you killed.
Because real courage begets action.
As I rode along today, the courage Dr. King had to pursue such a massive dream stood out to me than ever. Most years, it's been the details of his famous I Have A Dream speech. He made it so real. He knew it had the potential to come true, and what sharing that dream... pursuing that dream... would cost. Yet, knowing the dangers of that dream, he moved forward.
How do I get that kind of courage?
Commitment.
