Are you living your dreams?
For the last several days my Facebook and Instagram feeds have been blowing up with images and quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Most of the comments and messages are from Dr. King's famous "I Have a Dream," speech which contains a list of inspirational dreams. Some of those dreams have manifested into something greater than I ever imagined. For example, I never thought that I would live to see the day that an African American would be elected as president, twice.
If
Dr. King listened to his advisers who told him not to do the "I Have a
Dream" speech for the March on Washington on August 28, 1963, I'm pretty
sure the United States would be very different today. Good thing Dr. King
listened to gospel singer Mahalia Jackson who shouted out: "Tell them about the dream, Martin!" (YouTube clip of the speech below)
