## Resource

Wake up, everybody! How many of you know that this year would have marked the 97th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King jr.? We know his name, we know the holiday, and we certainly know the 'I Have a Dream' speech delivered in 1963. But I want to start this episode with a hard truth: A dream, without the test of endurance, is merely static. It’s a beautiful picture of 'what could be,' but it has no momentum, no weight, and no breath. It’s not tangible—just an idea just floating in the air with nothing to anchor it to the ground. What separates a dream from a reality is a single, rugged word: Grit. Grit is the execution phase. It is the commitment to push forward when the 'what could be' is blocked by the 'what actually is.' Today, we honor Dr. King not just for his dream, but for his willingness to pay the cost of his vision.
