Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Today, I have a short, but uplifting message. Today is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes of his:


This reminds me very much of my journey here in WA. Even though I am still new to WA, the journey has certainly felt very much like what Dr. King expresses in this quote. Six months ago, I definitely started out crawling. There were days I wanted to quit, but I didn't. I kept moving - even if it was inch by inch. I am so glad I did. Each day, I learn more and more.

All of us - whether we have been here hours, days, months, or years - had to start somewhere. We are all in different stages of the journey. Some of us are crawling, some walking and some running.

The good news is with this pay it forward system that has been created here in WA, those of us crawling and walking are learning from those running. Thank goodness!

There are days, I have to stretch out my hand for someone to pull me up. And that's okay! Because at the end of the day, I can feel proud knowing I kept moving.

Are you stuck? Reach out your hand. Someone will be there to pull you up. Remember to KEEP MOVING!

Have an awesome day and week.

He'll always be so inspiring to many.

Another one of his great quotes. Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Great blog, Yvette. It's not only Martin Luther King Day, it's his actually birthday today. January 15, 1929 he was born.

Thank you for the kind words and yes! A great day for a great man! Have an awesome day.

Many thanks for this Yvette!
Perfect quote for this icy Monday; and nearly all of us need it. What better way to honor the memory of Dr. King than to share some of his powerful wisdom. This also serves to remind us that the world that generated much of the toxic rhetoric we hear so much of today also generated the beautiful, supportive words he shared with us.

May your day and year be awesome, too...
Steve

Steve, thank you for that. You are so correct! May you have an awesome day and year, as well.

Thanks for this wake up call ... "Run ... Walk ... Crawl ... Keep moving" huuummm I'm nowhere ... To the question "Are you stuck?", I would say "Yes" ... Thanks for this motivational post. It's time to go back to business.

You're very welcome. If you are stuck, let's figure it out together. I tell people all the time - "the answer is here, we just have to find it." How can I help? Please let me know....please feel free to PM me if you want to. Have an awesome day.

Great advice, Yvette, and a great quote, very inspiring. I've had days where i wanted to throw my computer out the window. Then I thought, no, don't do that. It's too cold outside and windows aren't cheap. Lol

Anyway, there have been many times where the people here have helped me. I hope to be able to return the favor someday.

Don

Yes, I have had days I wanted to drop kick my laptop out the window, too! LOL. No, don't do it. Just walk away. You are always an inspiration when I write - you have already helped someone today. Me. Thanks!

Hi Yvette

I commented on carljdill’s Post about a comment a friend says often and it is “to keep walking”. She uses it if we experience set backs I think.

You are right, we are at different stages in our journey.

I think it’s OK to observe others on their journey and sometimes learn from those we admire but don’t compare and that is because we are such unique individuals. What works for one may not work for another?

Great Post, thanks.

Wayne

You are absolutely correct! Don't compare yourself to anyone else in this journey because we all have different things going on in our lives, learn different ways, etc. It's not about competition...it's about helping each other. Great point! Thanks.

Great advice Yvette! And great quote!

Thank you very much. Have an awesome day.

You too Yvette!

Howdy Yvette, that is absolutely Awesome. Love the quote as well.
Inspirational Martin Luther King and always will be, Amen.
Bless You,
Sam and Deb

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, always inspirational MLK.
Bless you as well.

We grew up during those days and hard to believe.
Sam

Hey,
Wow this really motivated me just reading this, even though I know this quote just seeing it over and hearing your encouragement spoke life back into my journey.
Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome. You got this...keep moving. Reach out if you need some help or get stuck. I'll help you in any way I can. Have an awesome day.

Thanks a lot I'll take you up on that opportunity one day

Ok :)

I have been pulled up several times. It is my hope that maybe someday I can do the same for someone else. Great post. Thanks. Michael Cox.

Thanks for the kind words, Michael. You are always encouraging...that alone is uplifting. Thank you.
