Speck and Speck

Milky Way Galaxy! we don’t need to be astronaut, we have all heard or read about where we feature in the larger scheme of things and I mean larger. A quick research online starts to put things in perspective, in the cosmic arena, the earth we inhabit is just a tiny point of light, a tiny speck of dust in the vast expanse of space. Once this sinks in and it does takes time to hit some of us. All our humongous problems becomes infinitesimal. They just cease to count. Respectfully, we and our problems do not count in the larger scheme of things. With this awareness, things starts to shift in the brain, problems and issues starts to deflate and seep out. We all know people that like to make a mountain out of a molehill, sometimes we are those people. It will help to ground us when we remember that all the problems on earth gathered together is less than a molehill in the larger scheme of things. We then ask, why the worry, anxiety and panic? What is the point of all the drama? What exactly are we fretting about? All the wealth in this world is still a speck. Elon Musk and all his wealth does not even feature in the speck when considered from the solar system. We and our problems are just way too small. Dead or alive we just are an infinitesimal speck. The economy holding together or falling apart, it’s still a speck. Interest rate going up or down, it’s still a speck, our business blooming or not, it’s still a speck. One catastrophe happening here or there, it’s still a speck. Our health challenges is still a speck. Our financial worries, it is still a speck. Relationship issues, it is still a speck. Family drama, it is still a speck. Disappointments, betrayals, errors, misdemeanours, fights, wars, hiperinflations etc all just a speck.

Some will argue that to us who are in it, it is not a speck, it is out world. But it is not ‘the’ whole world and from time to time we need to come out of our world to get a more accurate picture. It is not worth all the aggravations we subject ourselves to because it is all speck and speck. This awareness will help calm us down, enable us to do our best, leave the rest and sleep peacefully at night. We can all stop sweating the small stuff because it is all speck and speck.
