A friend sent me this powerful quote from Martin Luther King Jr the other day and I wanted to pass it along. It is a great reminder for all of us in this time.

“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of the status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. But today our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.”

As the true leader that he is, I believe that President Obama is asking each of us to LEAD by staying awake and taking responsibility for the welfare of all, not just YOU and not just ME.  Let’s help each other awaken and STAY AWAKE.
