You Are More Than A Speck In The World

Let’s talk about the age-old question that is “what’s the meaning of life?” Easy topic right?

In the grand scheme of things, our life is pretty meaningless. At some point our planet will no longer exist, and everything that ever happened on it will have zero significance because it’s all gone. It can make your life feel really unimportant because no matter what you do, it’s all going to be erased.

And while that’s true over the long-term, it discredits what’s happening right now. In the world today there is joy, suffering, excitement, tragedy, and so much that people are experiencing. Our choices and actions today can feel insignificant because in the whole wide world, what are we going to do that’s actually going to change the course of humanity... But if you zoom in one layer further, your influence can be felt.

Your family, immediate community, collaborators, and even the strangers that you encounter - Your actions impact their experience. You can ruin someone’s day or be their hero. You can add to their stress and negative outlook, or you can be a refreshing source of gratitude. You can be the light that brightens their darkness… And I don’t care how big the world is, or how meaningless our planet’s history is on a universal scale, it matters.

You are more than just a speck in the world, you are the creator of it.

Because even in the macro picture of how the world operates, think about how it got there. It was from the collective actions of all of humanity. It didn’t happen randomly, it is the effect of every single person’s choices, actions, and influence. Yes, some figures are more influential than others, but ultimately they’re just shaping the systems that then drive each individual’s actions. It’s the individual, you, who builds our future every single day locally and globally.

What this means is - it is critically important that we are thoughtful about what we do. As long as we operate unconsciously, we’re aligning with the systems created for us and contributing to the world other people want to see, which in many ways we probably disagree with. But when we’re intentional about what we do, we start creating the world we want to see!

How you navigate that is your choice. You can create your own ways of doing things or align with people who also believe in what you believe in. Do not underestimate the power of your existence and the role you play in creating a better future.

Let me share my vision with you, and if you agree with it, then let’s get to work.

I believe that the most wasted resource on Earth is human intention. People have great ideas that they don’t follow through on. And I believe that if people were only to take action on their good intentions - to change their life and be the healthy, highly focused, disciplined person they’re capable of being, and to change the world by getting more involved in impact projects and initiatives that speak to their heart - the world would be a much better place.

So that’s what I’m building! And if that’s what you want to see in the world too, then let’s build it together.
