As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy today, I cannot help but think of one of my favorite quotes by him: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

Love is the greatest and most powerful weapon we all have for creating a better world. No rules, no laws, and no legislation can create the lasting change that pure love can. But it all starts with us - one person at a time and every single one of us making that first step, not waiting for anyone else to show the love first.

When we are willing to love our neighbor as we love ourselves,
When we are willing to think thoughts and speak words of kindness and love,
When we are willing to value every single life, 
We plant the seed of love and greatness even in the most difficult circumstances and environments!

Stop hurting – start healing
Stop talking – start listening
Stop judging – start understanding
Stop condemning – start...

"When you stop growing you start dying." William S. Burroughs

Failure is not an end, it’s just the beginning - an opportunity to do it again, but differently & better! The best antidote to failure is action. Reflect on the failures and lessons you can learn from them, change and try again. Do it with childlike curiosity & tenacity - nothing will stop you then!

RESILIENCE IS ALL ABOUT ACTION - what we are actually doing even when we are knocked down by business failures, traumas, life's challenges, and results of our own mistakes and choices.

Focusing on the past creates Pain

Focusing on the failures creates more Failure

Focusing on the promising future creates Hope

Focusing on the steps we can take creates Success

Resilience is changing our focus from the past to the future by taking that one next step you know you have to take NOW.

Is it easy - NOT ALL

Is it painful - VERY MUCH SO

Is it worth it - ABSOLUTELY

Staying in the past failure and pain will only create more of it in the future

Looking forward with hope will only LEAD TO SUCCESS & SIGNIFICANCE

Even when we don't know what tomorrow holds, we always know what we can do today. There is no going back - FOCUS ON MOVING FORWARD & UPWARD!

What is that one next step that you know you can take and keep taking until you know more? Take that one...
