Today in the US is Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday celebrating the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights activist best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience. In August of 1953, King delivered his famous speech “I Have a Dream” calling for civil and economic equality for all Americans and the end of racism. On this Motivational Monday, write a speech advocating for something you’re passionate about and use the phrase “I have a dream” in your entry.

Interesting how I considered this as my event from history to see...

"I Have a Dream". And my dream is for.... each person to be able to reach their potential without risk of discrimination. The best person for the position should not be based on anything but talent and ability.

Race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age... none of those things should impede a person from reaching their goals so long as they are willing to be positive role models for the next generation. No one should be locked out of a dream because they don't fit the stereotype or the expectation.

We need to get rid of those stereotypical ways of thinking that curtail greatness. Those ways of thinking are limiting and take away from the human experience.

Greatness can happen if we accept each other as capable human beings, not with labels that define us in terms of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or any other limiting thinking out there.

What event from history do you wish you could have witnessed?

I would want something positive and life changing. Maybe the march and listening to Martin Luther King's speech. That would be exciting.

Though I would prefer something closer to home, or even over in England or Scotland.

Sometimes I have even wondered what it would have been like to see Jesus and hear him speak. Now that would be something to see.
