“The time is always right to do what is right.” -Martin Luther King Jr.
Typed “quotes” into the search engine, and this one resonated the most. I don’t know that I can come up with any wiser words, but I’m feeling it today. Doing the right thing doesn’t always get you a pat on the back. Hell, sometimes it even knocks you back a few steps. What’s important to remember is that you are the first link in the chain. If not the first, you’re one more link. People may not understand why you are so committed to your beliefs and values in the moment, but once you stand up for what’s right, you give the next person enough bravery to take a stand. And then the next, and then the next. Don’t ever feel that your desire to do right is a waste. You may never know the positive impact you’ve made. You may have even liberated someone’s limited way of thinking.
Choose right even when it feels wrong.
