The final refrain of Martin Luther King Jr.'s most
famous speech will echo around the world on Wednesday, August 28, 2013, at 3:00 pm, as bells from churches,
schools and historical monuments "let freedom ring" in celebration of
a powerful moment in civil rights history. The walk on Washington is being conducted as it was 50 years ago by all Americans who supported civil rights.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
