Wellness Quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. Celebrating MLK Day 2023

Greetings 4am Fitness Crew.

We cannot have an honest conversation about wellness without including civil rights.  These difficult conversations will inevitably lead us to a realization of our common hopes and dreams, our common fears, and aspirations. Our common humanity. This realization will continue its tireless march towards breaking down those insidiously violent barriers that continue to prevent so many of us from taking our rightful place at the table of humanity… “the Mountaintop.”  

All human beings have a right to clean water. All humans have a right to a healthy and sustainable environment. All humans have a right to the highest quality healthcare available. All humans have a right to clean (pesticide free) grown foods - and groceries and restaurants within their communities – and to purchase them at a fair price – not at a jacked-up price compared to “other” communities.  

All!

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”

“Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Many of our inner conflicts are rooted in hate. This is why psychiatrists say, “Love or perish.” Hate is too great a burden to bear.”

“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits.”

“If we are to have peace on earth our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.”

As we celebrate this day of service, sacrifice and reflection, may we at 4am Fitness Crew recommit ourselves to All and let our little light shine towards a better world for All.
