On a weekend honoring Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy of purposeful service, this week's quote echoes the same call to meaningful action. True fulfillment comes not from comfort, but from pouring ourselves into something larger than our individual concerns.

"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy." 

George Bernard Shaw
