Don’t Wait for a Gandhi

“If you have a situation that seems endless and is a negative situation, don’t wait for a Gandhi, don’t wait for a King, don’t wait for a Mandela.

“You are your own Mandela; you are your own Gandhi; you are your own King. You know your issues; you know your concerns, and you know the solution.

Rise up and do something to change your situation around.”

(Liberian Lutheran Peace Activist Leymah Gbowee discusses her feelings on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and the role faith played in her struggle to help end the war in Liberia.)

I referenced this in my reflection at Wicker Park Grace yesterday. Watch the 3 min video here, at Odyssey Network.
