“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” - Booker T. Washington

We do not start life with the same resources. Nor is everyone presented with the same opportunities along the way. We do not all have access to the same networks. Social capital isn’t easily quantified, but it counts far more than we usually like to think it does.

So how do measure our success? It can’t be accurately measured by comparing ourselves to others. Our success can only be measured by the journey that we ourselves are making.

What kind of obstacles are we overcoming? Are we making the most of the resources and opportunities that are currently available to us? Are we better versions of ourselves today than we were yesterday? How are growing? Are we doing what we can to make the world, or at least our little corner of it, a better place?

These are the true measures of success.

"In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance” - Phillis Wheatley

Too frequently the world around us expects us to act as if everything is ok when it’s not ok… to suffer in silence… to make ourselves comfortable in dysfunction.

Even when we are not in an immediate position to change, transform, or escape our circumstances, we must never surrender to them. We must never normalize routine indifference, injustice, or inequality.

Deep within our hearts we know that every human being should be treated with dignity and respect. No one should be neglected, abused or exploited. Everyone should have access to food to eat, a safe place to sleep and an opportunity to develop into the best version of themselves.

No matter how long anyone has been deprived of these circumstances, they must never stop panting for deliverance, nor must we ever stop panting with them.

“Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.” - Correta Scott King

Some of us are dismayed because we are fighting battles that we thought we’d already won, battles that we thought we’d never have to fight again.

History is not a straight line. Progress is not inevitable. Hard earned freedom is easily lost. Every generation must learn this lesson. Freedom may be our birthright, but we always have to fight for our inheritance.

The surest way to lose it is to worry only about me and mine, to forget the lessons of the past, to live today with no thought of the tomorrow we are building today.

If we want a better world, we are going to have to fight for it and then keep fighting for it even when we think we have it. There are no exceptions, exclusions or exemptions. Freedom is a never ending struggle.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.

Dissent from Indifference

"We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust “ - Thurgood Marshall

Just as it was in Marshall’s time, the particular historical moment we find ourselves in demands us to constructively engage with the world around us. Nothing is going to change unless we change it. Nothing is going to get better until we get better.

Love is the only thing that can save this world. Love is the only thing that can change the course of history. Loving our neighbors as ourselves begins with us giving a darn about their welfare and wellbeing. There is simply no room for apathy or indifference.

There are folk who stoke our fears, suspicions, and mistrust of each other. Hatred and fear are their tools of control. We must always dissent from these.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
