It's Always Adversity before Success!!

 "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."

Hello, my dear readers,

Today I'm here with my new blog. My dear readers, we all have heard the story of Martin King Jr. in our history textbooks, back in school. But have you tried to extract the moral from his life?

Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century. He fought tirelessly for the rights of people and brought impactful changes to the political and civil life of the United States and many other places. Apart from this, he can truly serve as an inspiration for anyone, not only because he was strong and unbeatable, but because he faced endless opposition, critics and resistance, still he overcame it all to keep going after what he thought or worked was right.

Also, in 1963, King delivered one of the most famous speeches in the history of the world. The "I Have a Dream" speech, that continues to inspire me to strive for equality.

King faced many difficulties throughout his lifespan. He had so much going against him, from the entire society and system to many violent individuals who opposed his ideas. However, he never gave up, and his efforts left a legacy that continues today.

There are many things that we can learn from his life and his continued perseverance. He worked a lot for what he believed in without letting any obstacles hinder his quest. Ultimately, he made a huge difference because of his perseverance and the means through which he pursued his goal. 

The First lesson is the need to push forward despite the obstacles.

In any situation, we might face a lot of resistance and limitations, from our environment and the system we are surrounded by. If we let this stop us, we will never reach our goal and never make a change.

The Second lesson is to stay firm in our convictions.

When we believe in something and recognize a situation that needs changing, it will rarely be easy to shift this. But we must not get discouraged. We can keep going and even if we are the only ones to make a positive change, there will be an impact from our actions.

The Third lesson that we can learn from Martin Luther's life is that one person can inspire thousands.

He used his best tool - oratory and convictions, to shift the minds of so many people and to inspire the millions to join the cause and work towards a better world for everyone. Here, this is important to understand that we all have our tools, strengths, and mission, but we can all work to improve society for everybody else. We can inspire those around us. Even if we start our journey alone, we can find others to support us on the way to our objectives. Just start small and keep going!

The Fourth lesson from Martin Luther's life is that we can keep going even in difficult circumstances.

You see, so much was against him, and yet he kept on going. The value of perseverance is clear, even when everything seems to be turned against you. Just keep going and keep trying to achieve your goals. Your environment can be changed by you and your actions as well, even if it seems hopeless or too large of a challenge to tackle. 

The Fifth lesson from Dr King's Life and work is that we can always hope for a better future.

Staying optimistic about the possibility of improvement can help us remain resilient even in situations when it all feels lost. The 'I Have A Dream' speech has been so influential and remains so powerful because it centres on the possibility of a better future that seems impossible but can be achieved. If you stay hopeful, you can keep going and let the bad time pass. Things can always improve, no matter how bleak they appear at the moment.

In the end, I would like to share something with all my blog readers. For this duration of 10 months ( since my first blog), I wrote blogs hoping that these words full of sincerity and enthusiasm, would make some positive changes in your lives. But today, I wrote this to not only motivate you all but also to dedicate this blog to my father Mr Rakesh Kaul, on this Father's Day, because he is sedulous and honest towards his work, family and every person around him.

And these qualities make him no less than 'The Martin Luther King Jr.', right?!

At last, let me conclude today's blog with my father's favourite quote, which says, 

"What comes easy won't last, what lasts won't come easy."

Thank you everyone for reading my blogs.

 Best wishes to all of you!

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, and Stay Happy!
