Dr. King "Street Sweeper"
Season 7
Whatever you do, do it with excellence, integrity, and purpose. Whether someone is sweeping streets or leading a movement, greatness isn’t about status but the spirit in which they carry themselves. It’s about how they show up, the pride they take in their work, and the impact they leave behind.
It reminds me of Dr. King’s words: "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'"
Excellence isn’t just about skill—it’s about conviction. And you've got that in abundance. Keep pushing the standard higher. Let the world say, there goes a great one.
Summary: No matter the job or role, excellence is a mindset. Whether sweeping streets or leading movements, greatness is found in the way one carries themselves—with integrity, dedication, and purpose. It’s about showing up with unwavering commitment and leaving a lasting impact. True success isn’t measured by status, but by the passion and discipline behind one's work.
Bible Verse: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." – Colossians 3:23
