Where Do You Stand?

Where Do You Stand?

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in

the moments of comfort and convenience, but where

he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 1929 – 1968, Clergyman and

Prominent Leader of the Civil Rights Movement

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Where do you stand?

 

A person builds their character in the times of adversity and controversy . . . . When they stand strong in the face of the winds of their challenges with the resolve to seek solutions . . . . and not cave into the pressure.

 

Your true strength . . . . comes to the surface in the challenging times in your life . . . . and will guide you . . . . and your principals.

 

The ultimate measure of a person . . . . . . . is found in how they respond to the adversity . . . . and controversy that they face in their life.

 

The question becomes where do you stand when you’re facing adversity and controversy? Where you stand will become the bedrock for your success journey . . . . your choices . . . . your decisions . . . . and the path that you follow.

   It is easy to just follow the crowd and to give in to pressure.  I have family members and friends (?) refuse to speak to me because of my feelings about the Mexican/US border wall.  I think our country was built on welcoming others and hate to see us close our doors to individuals who want to improve their lives.  I also remember our country being horrified at the idea of the "Berlin Wall".    I was there while I was in the Army and once was held at gunpoint on the wrong side of the wall.  Needless to say, I hate walls and the idea that people are restricted based on the luck of where they are born.

AMEN AND AMEN to this Lou! Anyone can be all smiles when times are good but character is defined when all things are NOT good!

Lou- I love MLK's quotes.  This one is so true.  The true measure of who we are is what we do when we are challenged
