Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, "If you are called to be a street sweeper, sweep streets even as Michaelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
Dr. King's quote is one that is steeped in choice, intention and right action and that power is ever-present with each breath we take. Isn't choice something we would all say yes to each and every moment? Of course, and yet we often unconscioulsy say no to choice because we rely on that automatic pilot-our habits, our ego-self that we have relied on for many years.
We don't even think about it. Many of us manage hourly, daily, weekly and yearly with our habits and ego guiding our thoughts, feelings and actions. To be unconscious to our own light and power could be due to many things: our lack of awareness of who we really are, our lack of discipline, our lack of a plan, our willingness to play small.
We just need to clearly remember and recognize who we are at the core of our being and act from that place of love and strength.
