I Could Have Cursed Him. Instead, I Changed His Life Forever.

A young peasant knocked on my tower door.
He was filthy.
Desperate.
Asking for help.

I could have turned him into a toad.
I could have cursed his bloodline.
I could have set my gargoyles upon him.

Instead, I saw potential.

I taught him basic levitation.
One spell.
That's it.

Fast forward 6 months.
He just became the official Royal Transportation Provider.
The contract alone is worth 200 cows and a mill.

He sent me a crystal ball yesterday.
The inscription read: "Thank you for believing in me."

I'm not sharing this to brag.

I'm sharing this because leaders see possibilities.
Not problems.

They invest in people.
Not just profits.

They lift others up.
Literally, in my case.

What peasant are you ignoring today?
What potential are you missing?

A unicorn might be knocking on your door.
Answer it.

I ignored mine for three days.
Now the royal huntsman is involved.

Tag an apprentice who needs to see this.
