Today’s post is gonna be short, simple, and straightforward.
Be grateful.
Way too often do we take things for granted and it’s only when we lose something that we know how great it truly was. Whether it’s a loved one, a significant other, a pet, a material item, a place, an experience, or whatever it may be, let the universe know how grateful you are for it.
We are so lucky to experience this crazy thing called life and before we know it, we’ll be long gone.
While it can be difficult and a bit unnatural, I always try to focus on the bigger picture of it all... We are all just some mutation of organisms that happen to be floating on this rock through space together.
Let's look at the 13.8 billion-year cosmic calendar... Imagine that 12:01am on January 1 is the start of the known universe and midnight on December 31 is the present... did you know that humans didn’t appear until 11:54pm on December 31? Just 10 seconds before midnight is when the Great Pyramids were constructed and 0.2 seconds before midnight was World War II. Take a second to read that again and try to truly comprehend it.
There’s another 364 days 23 hours and 59 minutes filled with events throughout the universe that we really don’t even know about. No matter what religion, creation theory, or spiritual beliefs you have, we can all agree that life is short and life is a gift.
So today, talk to a stranger, be kind, give back, express your love, and show your gratitude. We are so lucky to be here.
