A motivational message recorded on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, using King's quote that darkness cannot drive out darkness and hate cannot drive out hate. The speaker urges you to be the light in difficult situations, responding with love and grace instead of anger.
Hello everyone, here's your moment of yes for Monday, January 19th, and it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. And so seeing plenty of that on social media, I can't think of a better character or an example in our time right now that is needed. One of my favorite quotes of his, I've got it above here, which is, darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that. So your moment of yes for today is again, is looking for opportunities to be the light. Be the light in the darkness. Be the light in the dusk. Be the light where there's light and make greater light. But when I look at everything that's going on, as frustrated and discouraged as I get, I can never sort of respond hate with hate or violence with violence. But I can respond with love and I can respond with grace and I can still take action and I can still be strong, but in the spirit and in the action of love. And so As we head into the week and head into another day of challenging everything that we're being confronted with, let's continue to be the love in that darkness here on MLK Jr. Day. So that's your moment of yes. Have an awesome week, everyone. Bye.
