Happy MLK Day
Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. helped us see the world in a whole new way. He encouraged us to treat each other as brothers and sisters, no matter our race, color, creed, economic background, or whatever else we like to think separates us.
So, yes, keep thinking about Haiti, and about the other times and places in which we can help each other out. Then have a little faith that you can make a difference, and take that first step. You don’t have to know where you’ll end up – the first step will lead to the second step. The second step will lead to the third step. Eventually, the top of the staircase will find you, and the world will be a better place.
In case you think we’re going to pass up this opportunity – the quotation works really well if you apply it to the changes you want – or need – to make in the way you eat, the way you exercise, the way you treat your body… just read it again. We promise – you don’t have to see the whole staircase – just take have a little faith and take that first step toward doing the right thing for yourself.
