Most of us go through life without stopping to think about the odds of being alive. But what are the chances, really? In this video, Nick takes a look at the staggering odds of being alive and how even the smallest things can change those odds. Be inspired by this poetic take on life's biggest mystery.
There's a one in four trillion chance of being alive, a one in four trillion chance of being alive. I say that and it's hard to comprehend, you know, we've got work going on. We've got stresses, different things to worry about. How often do we really be like, "Oh my goodness, I'm alive. I'm so grateful." Not very often, right, if we're being honest, or maybe a lot, you know, or maybe never. Maybe this is you just getting into hearing about gratitude. I've heard about it for years. I've practiced it for years to not great extent and at times to a great extent and I know that when I'm in the grateful mindset that I feel so much better.
But it's hard for me to stay there because I just have a very short attention span and my mind seems to like to go to the fear and the anxiety and forget about gratitude. But that's okay and sometimes I wish I was a different way. I wish that I was more grateful all the time and that I didn't have fear and that I was just perfect, right, is maybe what I'm wishing for. But I'm not. I'm a human. I've got fears. I've got anxieties and a big-time antidote to that is the gratitude. And so there's a one-on-four trillion chance of being alive.
I thought this as I gazed at the sunrise in the sky. What a miracle. My mind and its buckets of lost time and fears about the future can distract from the fact that life is amazing. I've learned that all is well in the heart from the start. The path of unconditional happiness lays before us all. Sometimes we survive. Sometimes we strive. Sometimes we thrive. Sometimes all at the same time. Bird by bird we go and embrace the flow. Let go of your perfectionism and become one with the loving ways of the universe.
Bless a thing and it becomes a blessing. Curse a thing and it becomes a curse. Reim burse your doubt and invest in faith. Take a bath and bliss and kiss the sky and cry tears of joy at the ecstasy of being alive. Survive, strive, thrive, together. Together. Together. That's the key. Let's stick together. We can do it. We can do it. have an awesome day. Peace.
