Howard Thurman was an inspiration for Martin Luther King and many others in the civil rights movement. Here are three wonderful quotes on finding our direction in life:

 

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

 

“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.”

 

“There are two questions that we have to ask ourselves. The 1st is ” Where am I going?” and the 2nd is “Who will go with me?”

If you ever get these questions in the wrong order , you are in trouble.”
