*YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE GRATEFUL FOR. For a start you’re alive. You are not starving to death somewhere. You have plenty to eat and clean water to drink. You have a roof over your head. There are countless other things that you should be grateful for but here is something else to think about.
You are on a massive rock orbiting around an even more massive ball of fire at a speed of 108,000 kph. The sun itself is whirling along the outskirts of the galactic arm at a rate of 792,000 km/h, and our Milky Way galaxy itself is moving at almost 1 million kph.
Nobody knows what caused the universe, why it is here, why or how consciousness exists, or how life formed out of inert matter. There are many beliefs as to our origins, of how it all came about and we do wonder if there’s an Intelligence behind it all?
THE MOST AMAZING FACT!
Whatever your beliefs may be, here is the most amazing fact of all - 13.6 billion years of star formation and destruction, of chemical evolution, of biological evolution, of countless miraculous events that led to the formation of planets, moons, and ultimately to conscious beings took place so that YOU could experience this moment - Right Now!
The universe went through all of this so it could experience itself from YOUR perspective - through your body, your eyes, your senses and emotions. YOU are a f**king miracle. Life is so amazing. You are on this beautiful blue Planet flying around in outer space, and nobody knows how you came to be here or why you or anything else exists.
Just sit for a moment and realize that everything around you is literally a miracle. We so often forget how lucky we are to experience anything at all. Also realize that you were meant to be here. The world is so much brighter, so much better, because you are in it.
Take a moment to remember that the preciousness of life is something that always brings your state of being to a completely new level. Yes indeed, you sure are a miracle to behold...
