Affirmation for January 17, 2011: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.- Martin Luther King, Jr.How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.- Anne FrankI am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.  I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.- George Bernard ShawEverybody can be great.  Because anybody can serve.  You don't have to have a college degree to serve.  You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve.  You only need a heart full of grace.  A soul generated by love.- Martin Luther King, Jr.Thought of the day:Today, we celebrate the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. His passion, compassion, vision, and philosophy of peace and hope for the world is an inspiration to us all. He reminds us that there is much we can do as individuals; while the challenges of this world are great, and range from poverty and injustice to corruption and violence, we can all make a difference by embodying the ideals he championed.Have an outspoken day!TeamDS
