"The thing you need most is always to be found where you least want to look." --Jordan Peterson
In the Prison Cell
While in the Soviet concentration camp -- where 60 million were killed -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn made a vow to trace back his entire life and remember (and undo) any mistakes he had ever made! The consequence? He wrote a three volume, 1900 page book, all in his head. 'The Gulag Archipelago' was published years later, after his release from the camp, and was, in part, responsible for the fall of Soviet Union. In 1970, Alexander Solzhenitsyn received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
BE THE CHANGE
Do what Alexander did in his prison cell: introspect and try to find the mistakes you've made in life. Don't repeat the pattern.
