The Power We Hold ⚖

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere…Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” -Martin Luther King, Jr (written in 1963 while he was held in jail for leading nonviolent protests against racial discrimination.)

I believe in my heart that the majority of us embolden our moral compass with love, kindness, compassion, empathy, peace, giving, and encouragement, which equals to a heart where blood isn’t the only life-saving source that flows through it. I reflect on the past, not to repeat the disease of atrocious despair, but to use those atrocities as stepping stones that lead to empowerment, educating others, and growth, with positive success.

Yes, I breathe and resuscitate myself daily with optimism, hope, continued learning, sharing, and motivating “me” so that I can inspire and motivate others. I don’t walk around with rose-colored glasses on, even when some may refer to me as a Pollyanna. The world can be volatile so massively and happen so quickly, especially in these days and times. Yet, I need not add to the problem but be a critical component of the solution. Justice should continue to be blind, remain impartial, and not be used as a bargaining chip.
