Imagine you have the power to change how the world works. Perhaps not the entire world. Maybe only your world and the worlds of those you are close to. Maybe more.
Imagine you see what is possible, when others only see what exists in the moment.
Imagine you can inspire hope, when nearly all hope is lost.
No need to imagine it. You already possess these powers.
Here is a passage about someone who accomplished all of this, despite impossible odds.
...The Nazis gave him a number.
...His manuscript, which they burned, became the book that saved millions.
...The man they tried to reduce to nothing proved that humans can never be reduced to nothing—as long as they can find a reason to live.
...Prisoner 119104 didn't just survive Auschwitz. He transformed the worst of human evil into humanity's greatest wisdom about resilience.
...He turned suffering itself into a source of healing.
...History gave him immortality.
...The identity they tried to erase became a light that guided people through darkness ...
