I Have A Dream

Notice the references to money Dr. King uses. I never knew this until now. Such a powerful speech.

Mom sends you to the cupboard for green beans. After looking you say, “Mom I don’t see them.” She walks over, finds the beans, and says “They were right in front of you the whole time.”

“The dream you’re chasing has to run deeper than that. It has to be knit into the very fiber of who you are. It has to be an overflow of what’s inside of you, a river that is not waiting for permission or approval to flow. It has to be you simply being you. Because when the fame goes away and the attention goes away and the fun opportunities go away, you’ll still have you. And as long as you’ve got that, you have everything you need to keep working on your dream.” – Jon Acuff / National Bestselling Author of Quitter.

You don’t need permission from anyone to step out and live your dream.

Sometimes you just have to bear down and do what’s necessary to get things done.
