While I didn't follow the specific advice to become this or that, I did pick up on the energy and effort behind their encouragement for others to move forward.
It reminds me of a story shared by a neighbor via WhatsApp about an elderly German bakery owner who survived a harrowing train journey undertaken to secure some necessities.
It turns out this story circulates widely online; it is said to be based on the true account of a father who went to great lengths just to catch a glimpse of something special...
The elderly bakery owner recounted how, one night, he and a group of other residents were rounded up by soldiers.
In the dead of night, they were forced off the train. Amidst the biting cold, he noticed an elderly man shivering uncontrollably.
He rubbed the old man's body with his hands. He kept rubbing throughout the night, occasionally embracing the man to ensure he was still alive.
When morning broke, he looked around to find that many others had perished from the freezing temperatures during the night.
Only two people had survived: him and the old man.
"That old man survived because I kept him warm. And I didn't die because I kept him warm."
When someone habitually offers encouragement and support to others, they also discover spirit and inspiration within their own life...
