Continue Defying the Odds - Today's Moment
“Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.”
― Lewis Thomas
When you stop to think about it, the very fact that we even exist to live our lives is incredible. On a cosmic level, we are just tiny organisms on a rock barreling through space. And so many circumstances had to line up perfectly to get to where we are. Yet
we are here, which is reason enough to live this life to its fullest. It’s also a good reason to not be deterred if you find yourself with the deck stacked against you. So, next time you are worrying that you might not be able to accomplish something, consider all the odds you’ve already overcome just to be a person on Earth.
Beyond beating the cosmic chances, you have had to face difficult challenges that felt unachievable throughout your life. However, there are surely countless examples of times you have accomplished things you thought were impossible. There’s no reason to believe you can’t keep that up by continuing to defy the odds today.
Stay Reasonable!
