Quote of the day by Martin Luther King Jr. looks at a difficult part of being human: accepting disappointments without allowing them to define the rest of our lives. King’s words were not about pretending that pain does not exist. They were about learning to live with what cannot be changed while still holding on to hope for what can be.
Quote of the day by Martin Luther King Jr.: Life lessons on disappointment, self-doubt, personal growth and hope
Today's quote is,
“ We must accept our unwanted and unfortunate circumstance and yet cling to a radiant hope. We must accept the finite disappointment and yet cling to the infinite hope. ”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
His thought came from his sermon draft “Shattered Dreams,” written around 1962–63. In it, King described the need to “accept the finite disappointment and yet cling to the infinite hope.” The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford preserves the draft and its context.
