What Is Your Life’s Blueprint?
In the last week of Year and with a long weekend, you get time to reflect on the year gone by. What went right, what didn't, what were the new Learnings, new opportunities, these thoughts do cross your mind. And while you reflect on the year gone by you also start looking forward to the new year ahead of you. While we do so, I thought it will be appropriate for me to share with you the excerpts from the speech of Martin Luther King to help us create the Blueprint of next year on the horizon. The excerpts of the speech are as follows :
"Whenever a building is constructed, you usually have an architect who draws a blueprint, and that blueprint serves as the pattern, as the guide, and a building is not well erected without a good, solid blueprint.
Now each of you is in the process of building the structure of your lives, and the question is whether you have a proper, a solid and a sound blueprint.
I want to suggest some of the things that should begin your life’s blueprint. Number one in your life’s blueprint, should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your worth and your own somebodiness. Don’t allow anybody to make you fell that you’re nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance.
Secondly, in your life’s blueprint you must have as the basic principle the determination to achieve excellence in your various fields of endeavor. You’re going to be deciding as the days, as the years unfold what you will do in life — what your life’s work will be. Set out to do it well. Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a Sun, be a star, for it isn't by the size you win or you fail, be the best of whatever you are.
Finally, in your Life's Blueprint, must be a commitment to the eternal Principals of beauty, love and justice. Well life for none of us has been a crystal stair, but we must keep moving, we must keep going. If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl, but by all means keep moving."
Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊
