Dreams That Scare Us (and Save Us)
You don't get your soul's dreams >> you give them


Inspire Your Day!
Heart
I have a dream that one day the InspoLetter will have massive helpful impact and be read by thousands every day. That’s embarrassing, not a good look, it’s a little self-serving 🫢
But keeping it one-hundy? I admit it’s true. Spread goodness and inspo baby. I have a dream.
And I have other dreams. You do too.
You know Martin Luther King JR. infamous speech in 1963 on Lincoln Memorial Steps? You see him there?
But do you see him on September 20, 1958?
5 years prior to that speech he was stabbed with a 7-inch letter opener that barely missed his aorta.
Do you know him??

In spite of all the conflict, he pressed on, even turned up the heat, with such concise conviction of his dreams.
I wonder—what would happen in my life, if I followed my dreams with that kind of courage and commitment? What about you Friend?

Mind
Fact: MLK Day holiday was signed into law in November 1983, 15 years after his death.
An important overlooked detail. He never saw it.
He didn’t get the recognition first then decide to take a bold stand. He took the stabbing first, the unjustified arrests, the ridicule, the consistent conflict.

No hero treatment. No monument. Ironic how we read history backward, but it’s lived moving forward.
🌞 Sometimes like the sunlight, remember, there’s a delay, 8 minutes, or it could be a decades lag that arrives after you’re gone.
Let’s not wait for the perfect moment.
Let’s not wait until it’s safe
Let’s dream like our lives depend on it 💪

What I learn from MLK.JR? You don’t get your dreams . . . you give them 💯

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”

Body
MLK’s dream didn’t begin or end in one speech. It echoed because he kept showing up, like the Sun with continual collisions. Volatility. Conflict.
Always taking a step toward the dream with unconquerable conviction.
Ohh so much conflict. Yet so much lasting impact.
