President Kennedy was many things. That he could leave us with so much to remember him by, in the short time he was President before his assassination only, speaks to his immense capacity to lead.
That he could rise to meet the challenges of his time highlights the same courage and determination he used to become a war hero. That he could speak of a bright future and take actions to bring it closer demonstrates his vision. However, there is one underlying virtue which informed everything that he was and did. It is his sense of HOPE.
View this video clip and see if you might also think he wrote and spoke it all for our times. He probably didn’t, but he could have because his sense of HOPE was timeless.
As you start a new week, I HOPE you will go forth optimistically in everything, and that you will pass it on to everyone you meet.
. . . remember that America’s best days aren’t behind her. America’s best days are ahead of her. They always have been and always will be.
