Her how changed the course of history

“If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in the bus in Montgomery, she'd still be standing” - Mary Frances Berry

You decide who gets to ride on your bus and nobody else. Also, these people need to be invited on your bus and not simply take the ride for granted.

In simple terms, teach people how you want to be treated.

Rosa Parks did on December 1, 1955 and the rest is history.

She was 42 years of age at the time and 42 years was already too long for fear to control her decisive moment.

In her own words, “I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.”

In order to move forward towards freedom, you must begin to teach people how you want to be treated.

It’s called terms of engagement.

This is a must.

You must do this from the onset as no one can read your mind.

No one!

Be real and tell people who you really are from the very beginning.

You don’t have to be rude, intolerant, or stubborn but you must begin to teach people how you want to be treated.

No one can read your mind.

Eggshells are everywhere.

You might have to step on a few in order for people to understand where you’re coming from when you interact with them.

Words without action are useless.

Period!

Words are only words and mean nothing unless they are backed up by real meaning and purposeful actions.

Today everyone is an expert.

The list of so-called experts goes on and on like a broken record.

For the most part, the noise of words are rampant, conjectured and are intended for notoriety.

However, there are 3 pivotal methods of creating human connections and change.

They are agreement, shock, and fascination. I will describe the first two methods.

Agreement is basic as all parties agree and are on the same page from the onset.

On the other hand, shock entails an event or issue that absolutely rattles everyone’s cage.

Immediately these people take notice.

This might not occur too often but when it does, all hell breaks loose.

The important ingredient is following through regardless of present circumstances.

People don’t want lip service.

They want action.

They want the words to be real with real talk and not simply air talk.

Therefore, to the best of your ability live this inclusive and diversity quest in homes, schools, communities, businesses, corporations and the greater global village.

Some people make up all sorts of lame excuses in order to deflect responsibility or ownership.

Put your name on it.

We all promote this quest with our word and our action.

Lip service does not live here.

Sometimes young children understand this better than adults.

At the age of nine years old, a young girl once wrote, “The importance of attitude is how you control it. Your attitude changes people as well as yourself.”

Break this attitudinal cycle with decisive and deliberate action.

This life changing action will manifest change in all levels of society.

Enough is enough!

Embrace fear with courage right now.

Courage is acting in the face of fear.

Courage is absolutely essential if a person wants to realize their dreams and live in freedom.

There’s a whole big wide world of magnificence out there and you can have it but you must believe in yourself and persevere.

Taylor Benson said, "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light."

Believe in yourself.

Change only occurs when you alter your belief system.

Are you ready, willing, and able to eradicate old entrenched ideas in favor of a new idea that has the potential of creating a brand new life with all types of possibilities?

Rosa Parks was ready.

Rosa Park’s decisive moment was the beginning of change.

You can’t prepare for that moment but when it shows up, you can also be the catalyst for positive, proactive forward movement change.
