We are on a rock traveling around 1 of 100 billion stars. Our species is 1 of over half a billion that have ever existed. Our chances of being born are about 1 in 400 trillion. You’re not special, but you are fucking lucky. Enjoy your amazing life. You’ll never exist again.

Are you making the very best of your life?

When you calculate the mathematical odds of you having ever even existed, does that empower your overall sense of gratitude that the favor of mathematical uncertainties worked in your favor?

Do you at some point feel incredibly fortunate that your greater potential has been activated, thereby allowing you to blossom into the ultimate being that you are destined to become?

When we are continuously aware of the realities of our world, and we are cognizant of the myriad opportunities that potentially await us, I believe we have a greater opportunity to look at the benefits and emerge richer for the experience.

When the tight, myopic constraints of your existing world, feel overwhelming, are you are less ready, willing or able to take a giant step backwards metaphorically so that you may see the greater picture of what your life is evolving into?

This unique perspective generates considerable potential appreciation, for only in the widest vantage point are we most able to recognize the miracle of our own existence on the planet and our collective strength that derives from an awareness of this having transpired at all.

Perhaps if we were more prudent, we would seek such a vantage point on a regular basis, so that when our own circumstances feel less than desirable or repressing, we have a strategic angle in which to encapsulate all of them and see them, in a true diminished magnitude over that which we are currently feeling.

There is no telling what impact a fresh vista may have on our ability to take a more accurate personal inventory and thereby make more rational judgments about whom we are what we have been able to accomplish thus far and ultimately whom we would like to become!

Happy Tuesday!
