A close-up from the recent Webb telescope images of the Universe.
The Universe is vast.
Have a look at that image above. It’s from the James Webb telescope and it shows four interactive galaxies.
Four. Galaxies.
Each of the tiny background “blobs” in the background is a galaxy. Those tiny blobs are GALAXIES. Our planet, which we call Earth, is part of a solar system of planets inside of ONE galaxy, named the Milky Way. Mars is 107.4 million miles away from us, and it’s the next planet after Earth in the “My Very Educated Mother” song. That’s just in our solar system. There are more than 500 solar systems inside of the Milky Way.
To say the Universe is vast is an understatement.
It makes me feel both very small and insignificant, and incredibly optimistic at the same time. It’s optimistic because simply existing as the tiniest speck of nothingness (compared to the vastness of the Universe) is enough. There is no doubt that it is enough simply to survive. We are specks on the specks of existence inside the vastness of the Universe.
I am also optimistic because, since surviving, breathing, and experiencing life is enough, then anything I accomplish will move me closer to my financial goals (which seem ridiculously small). If I write one page per day, one blog, one word of a blog entry, one LETTER of a blog entry, then that is enough.
Breathing in and out is enough.
You are enough.
One more note: Look at that photograph, or the one below, and tell me that there isn’t enough money to go around. There are galaxies upon galaxies!
Abundance is mine, and it is also yours. Breathing is enough. We are all wealthy beyond our wildest dreams.
Also, dream bigger.
