In these turbulent times, where the world faces unprecedented challenges, King's message holds universal relevance. In the realm of corporate leadership and amidst the challenges of our ever-changing business landscape, Martin Luther King Jr.'s timeless wisdom resonates profoundly, and we should take the time to reflect on this significant day of service – more than just a holiday. This wisdom extends beyond national borders, urging global leaders to embrace a culture of empathy, understanding, and service. In the business world, where competition and complexity often prevail, King's words guide us towards a path of collaboration, innovation, and positive impact. Let us use this occasion not only to honor a remarkable leader but to introspect on how we, as influencers and thought leaders in the business community, can contribute to fostering an environment where light prevails over darkness, and love triumphs over hate. #MLKDay #Leadership #BusinessPhilosophy

CRITICAL MASS OF LOVE “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to carry.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. A critical mass of love is the minimum amount required in our life and in society after which love becomes self-sustaining, self-spreading and a dominant behavior shaping everyday life. Can achieving a critical mass of love in our life and in the world change everything? Can it make us happy? Can it end war and hate? Can it end violence? Can it end greed, apathy and selfishness? Can a shift into love help us live in harmony with ourselves, each other and with Mother Earth? Can it help us reverse climate change and avert a predicted catastrophe? Were the hippies right after all?

Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. I am thinking about some of his most famous sayings today. The one that stands out to me the most today is “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." 1963 Today there is so much separation in the world. I believe this is a result of fear. Fear that we are going to lose something we have, or not get something we want. Yet darkness, separateness, and hatred create the very lack we are so afraid of. You cannot collect anything good in a closed fist or mind. Kindness and love are open. Kindness is not just so you can be “seen” as kind. It is the “electricity” of giving that keeps us alive and generates the very light we all crave. So, today in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. I ask that we all pause and consider kindness as the tool to achieving everything we want. Consider light instead of darkness.

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., may we remember to focus on correcting injustices today. But let’s begin with the injustices that are within our own sphere of influence, even though it’s tempting to think of the enormous injustices taking place everywhere in the world today. Change begins with one person. Change begins with our own thoughts and our own actions. If we want “things” to change, first we must root out the injustices within ourselves: our own personal biases, erroneous assumptions, and negative judgments. Not only about others, but about *ourselves.* When we cultivate love and peace within ourselves, it naturally ripples outward to everyone and everything we encounter. Love *yourself* today first, and that love will extend throughout our “inescapable network of mutuality” to begin the healing work of dissolving injustice everywhere. Happy Martin Luther King Day to all from the team at VetBilling. #MLKDay2024 #MartinLutherKingJrDay #justice #mutuality #wisdom #compassion #empathy #peace #vetbilling

Experienced Educator and Leader Focused on People, Culture, and Solutions - Ready For New Challenges and Opportunities
Thinking a lot about love on this pre MLK Day as my students and I are in the midst of a unit on religions and belief systems. Wow, did Dr King push us to love... Here is one 2 minute clip of Dr King talking about different types of love and why he tried to love the people "who are beating on us and bombing our houses and kicking our children around". "Agape is not something affectionate. It is understanding and creative redemptive goodwill for all men. It is an overflowing love which seeks nothing in return. Theologians would say that it is the love of God operating in the human heart. And when one rises to love on this level he loves men not because he likes him, but he loves every man because God loves them. So he rises through the level of hating the system rather than the individual who is caught up in that system. He loves the person and hates the evil deed. And I think this is what Jesus meant when he said love your enemies and I'm happy that he didn't say like your enemies because it's pretty difficult to like some people." NOTES - 1) Transcript is my own rushed effort to transcribe via Youtube, etc. Errors are my own. 2) I will circle back later today and identify the context of the video as the Youtube poster did not include it. 3) Wearing my historian hat, I love to share additional links. Here is a good one about "Agape" from Stanford's Martin Luther King Jr Research and Education Institute: https://lnkd.in/eqVpABdK

One of my top recommendations of books to read before you kick the bucket - Strength to Love by Dr. MLK Jr. 📖 This has been one of the most important books I have ever read. I resonate with his radical compassion, his radical position of peace, and his radical approach to mastering the self to win your enemy's friendship. People applaud him for his work in civil rights, and he changed the world to be sure. However, some struggle with his radical approaches to love, being tough-minded and tender-hearted. This book is special in that he instructs you from the teachings of Christ and how to apply them in mastering yourself and loving your enemies as the only way to subdue them. You need not be religious to learn and apply the golden truths found inside these pages. “... we must not seek to defeat or humiliate the enemy but to win his friendship and understanding. At times we are able to humiliate our worst enemy. Inevitably, his weak moments come and we are able to thrust into his side the spear of defeat. But this we must not do. Every word and deed must contribute to an understanding with the enemy and release those vast reservoirs of goodwill that have been blocked by impenetrable walls of hate.” ― Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love
