Serve

Dear Aaron Sorkin,

I've been thinking about the idea of service lately, and this excerpt from a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speech gave me a new context for it. King talks about service as the great equalizer; anyone can serve. Anyone. I don't have to change what line of work I'm in or who I spend time with. I can look for opportunities in my community where service is needed, but I can also go throughout my day with service in mind and show up in that spirit. I believe that if people even made that small mental shift, the world would be a better place.

King's words written on the page are powerful, but nothing is like hearing him speak them. Hope you enjoy listening.



Best,
Laura
