In the Quran it is stated:
وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ
Surah Al-Isra, 17:70
Translation:
We have honored the children of Adam.
In the Torah it is written:
בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים בָּרָא אֹתוֹ
Genesis 1:27
Translation:
Human beings were created in the image of greatness.
In the Gospel it is said:
ἐστὲ τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου
Matthew 5:14
Translation:
You are the light of the world.
In the Indian Upanishads we read:
अयमात्मा ब्रह्म
Ayam Atma Brahma
Translation:
The human soul is the supreme force.
In Chinese wisdom it is said:
天行健 君子以自強不息
Tao
Translation:
As heaven constantly exerts strength, a worthy person never ceases to strengthen themselves.
In Persian culture, Ferdowsi said:
Powerful is he who is knowledgeable.
Shams Tabrizi wrote:
Whoever knows themselves transforms the world.
Nietzsche wrote:
Whoever understands their “why” becomes invincible.
The summary of all these voices is one thing:
You were not made for smallness.
You were created to stand tall, to embody power, dignity, and influence.
When you know yourself, the world steps aside.
When your inner self is illuminated, the outside world stands in respect.
When you create instead of imitate, you become influential.
This world needs people who remember themselves.
Such a person is a magnet of power.
Others may choose,
But they determine.
