Know your cause.Dr. King knew his. Clearly define what you are fighting for and what you stand for. It has been said, in simple terms, "If you stand for nothing, you have nothing to stand upon." If you think you have no cause to fight for, at least write down your core beliefs. Look at them every day and see if you have fidelity to them. Expand and question the list as you encounter challenges to your views. Ask others what theirs are. Read about leaders who have them and see if their causes fit yours.Remember though that they are meaningless to your life and leadership unless you adopt them and adapt them to your life, your career, and yes, your own calling. One wise mentor of mine said, "Don't ever do something another person can do." To me that meant to individualize my purpose, separate from the influence of others, because callings are as unique as the individual.2. Craft a message.In this case Dr. King's practice was in sync with another Republican I worked for — Ronald Reagan. In the case of both leaders, you knew what they stood for. A good test of your own message would be to see if anyone of your friends or family could repeat your message back to you — could relate what they think you stand for. Whether you are commanding an army, a legislature, a family, or just yourself, you should develop, refine, and establish a core message. Make it your individual brand. Then, adapt it to meet particular circumstances.3. Live your beliefs.Dr. King was in the "cause" business. He could well afford to spend every day animating his message through his busy schedule, speaking, and preaching — strategizing, organizing, and leading. He was viewed as an example for how people should live their own lives. Examples like his never die. They live on, hand in hand, with the words that furnish the image with detail. la52 https://padlet.com/la52/n9gpoibgo1p5/wish/307149572

Also known as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the event aimed to draw attention to continuing challenges and inequalities faced by African Americans a century after emancipation. It was also the occasion of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s now-iconic “I Have A Dream” speech. la52 https://padlet.com/la52/n9gpoibgo1p5/wish/307561010 https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/march-on-washington]]> 2018-11-25 20:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/la52/n9gpoibgo1p5/wish/307561010 The march was successful in pressuring the administration of John F. Kennedy to initiate a strong federal civil rights bill in Congress. During this event, Martin Luther King delivered his memorable “I Have a Dream” speech. The 1963 March on Washington had several precedents. la52 https://padlet.com/la52/n9gpoibgo1p5/wish/307561569 https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/march-washington-jobs-and-freedom
