Life as an Extremist – MLK Jr


“The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be… The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.”  MLK Jr
 
Martin Luther King Jr is known for advocating peace, justice, faith and equality.  There are a lot of people who have advocated, and currently advocate these same principles.  So, what has set Martin Luther King Jr apart from other people today and through history who desire these qualities for themselves and the world? 
 
He was an extremist!  He delivered his message in a radical and powerful way. 
 
We can all learn from his extreme behavior.  How can you be an extremist?  How can you be creative in your extremeness? 
 
Identify your passion and pursue your passion.  Have dreams, visions and goals. 
 
I bet that your passions, dreams, visions and goals do not fall into mainstream society?  Mine do not!  Be prepared to go against the grain.
 
Living a healthy lifestyle actually goes against the cultural grain.  Bravely strive for personal health!  Allow the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr be an inspiration for you!
