From Wondry, I'm A. Sanderson, and this is Who's Amazing Life.

You've heard of people who changed the course of history, but before they made their mark on the world, they were people like you and me.

Still figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives.

On this episode, you will be that person everyone knows.

You might be a musician, or an athlete, a scientist, or a painter.

You may know what the person accomplished later in life, but now you can experience everything they faced along the way, from challenges and heartbreak to triumphs and excitement.

All the moments that built this person into someone who would change the world, there will be clues to who you are, so pay attention.

But only in the end will you find out who you are.

So sit back and imagine your amazing life as the hero.

Imagine you run down the basketball court to get into position under the basket.

Your legs ache, sweat drips in your eyes, you glance up at the time, 40 seconds left.

Your team is down by two, and you've got to get the ball back.

Which means it's time to take one for the team.

You're pretty short, and you've been doing your best to guard a gigantic kid all night.

Your eyes go wide as you see this massive opponent catch the ball and start driving towards the hoop.

You cringe at the thought of what you have to do now.

Time slows down as your mind whirls with blistering speed.

This 220 pound manchild is heading right at you, and you don't move a muscle.

You plant your feet and let him plow into you.

He slams into your chest.

The air leaves your lungs and your feet lift off the ground as you go flying.
