It’s a miracle that your life started.
In June 2013, the global money supply for U.S. dollars, considering all available cash, checks, checking accounts etc. equaled about $2.5 trillion. The odds of being born as a human – everything considered, are about 1:400 trillion.
That’s insane. Most of the time we take our lives for granted, yet we don’t even remotely understand how we got here in the first place.
It’s a miracle that your life started.
Be grateful for it.
It’s a certainty that your life will end.
In the time it took you to read the first part of this answer, 64 people have died. Another 151,540 will part this world like they did, just in the next 24 hours.
Yes, we live to be older and older and maybe, we’ll all live to be 120 one day. Maybe, we’ll all become cyborgs by 2045.
But no matter how you look at it, or how many years you add, so far, in 200,000 years of human history, not a single one has escaped death altogether.
It’s a certainty that your life will end.
Act like it.
However much time you have in between and whatever you do with it, as long as you keep those two in mind, every single day, you’ll do just fine.
