If you do not think for yourselves, others will think for you. If they do so, they will always limit your possibilities to further their own. If you, however, think for yourselves, then no one can ever limit what you can accomplish.

The moment you give up is the moment all is lost. The moment you realize all is lost is the moment you realize you shouldn’t have given up.

There is no life plan only a plan of life hoped by God. Life is a course with pitfalls and dreams scattered about and our choices to evade one and chase the other.

This is a column from 2009. Please leave your thoughts about in the comments section and share if you like it. I thought I would share it again.
During the Holocaust, a brave group of people who had lost everything except their own lives, took a stand to risk their only tie left to this world—their very existence.
On October 7, 1944, several hundred Jewish prisoners at the death camp Auschwitz (at Birkenau,) were being forced to carry corpses from the gas chambers to the furnace to dispose of the bodies. In those horrible moments, they chose to show the scope of humanity’s spirit in one of the world’s darkest hours.
The band of broken, weak souls blew up one of the gas chambers and set fire to another, using explosives smuggled to them from Jewish women who worked in a nearby armaments factory.
Out of the 450 prisoners involved in the sabotage, 250 managed to escape the camp. They would all eventually be found and executed as well as those co-conspirators who never made it out of the camp and the five women from the armaments factory.
Their actions however, are a lesson in the sense that we should never stop fighting for what is right and good even when it seems hopeless. When we choose to give up, then those who oppress and harm us find our acceptance in their deeds, but when we fight, they are to forced to ask why and within that answer lies the self judgement of their very actions.

Confidence is often dependent on surroundings and comfort and may convey the illusion of morality and integrity. But a true moral code needs nothing more than intent to stand alone. Honor needs no illusion to convey confidence.

When we fail ourselves, we lose only what we would have gained. But when we fail others, they lose more than we can ever know. We will undoubtedly fail in this life. Our imperfect nature guarantees us this fact. But that imperfection does not apply when it comes to failing others. We instinctively know what others are capable of even when they themselves are unsure. This is because we see in others what we lack, we recognize it due to its absence in ourselves.
This is not by accident in our intricate creation. We are designed to recognize what we lack and are magically drawn to it. Nature, even through absence, proves that we are reliant on one another…connected through our needs. And because of this dynamic we each have a responsibility to not fail each other. All humans are created equal but not equally created. In other words, we all have been given the same attention with our creation but not all the same gifts and talents.
We rely and trust in others because of what we lack. This is the responsibility we all shoulder in this life. When others put their faith in us, it is because they need what they know we can provide. Because of this faith in us, we are empowered and will only fail if we give up by refusing to accept what others see in us. The very fact they know we are capable is proof that we are exactly that…capable. Through our design, we are programmed to serve others with the strengths they see in us. And with the execution of these strengths, we learn that not only can we refuse to not fail others, but are less likely to fail ourselves.
