“I have a dream,” he said.
On August 28, 1963 a man named Martin Luther King Jr. announced that he had a dream. I couldn’t help but to naturally feel a bit overwhelmed by the outpour of love expressed yesterday via Facebook, Twitter & Instagram in remembrance of this incredible leader. With all of the quotations floating around the world wide web it got me to thinking: ‘What if MLK didn’t have a dream? What if he didn’t speak up.’
Naturally, the human race takes things from the past and relates things to their own life. ‘What if MLK didn’t have a dream?’ What if . . .
What if he never asked? What if we had no war? What if they weren’t waiting in the common area when I arrived? What if gay marriage were never illegal? What if I had gone to another school? What if there were no hate? What if he had turned around? What if she didn’t write it all down? What if money did not exist? What if we didn’t find each other? What if I fail? What if the world ends? What if he never truly knows? What if it doesn’t happen? What if they all hate me anyway? What if . . .
Life isn’t always so black and white. There are not answers to every question and sometimes we have to take a leap of faith without knowing what is going to happen. That is what Martin Luther King Jr. did, and can you imagine what would have happened had he allowed the fear of “What if” to hold him back?
What is holding you back?
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
