We are essentially a speck on earth. The earth is only a peck in the constellation. Constellation is a speck in the galaxy and galaxy is only a speck in the whole universe. Once we accept that we are only a speck in this vast universe, and resist the urge to change anything, we start to let go of the fear.

However, acceptance is scary. As we fear that life would be out of control and things would change. We fear that the future is uncertain. What do people think of me? Most importantly, what if we can’t live a life as we want to be? We are conditioned to think “big” that we could potentially make a difference in the world. However, this expectation set us up for the outward search for validation that we want to find our positioning in the universe. We become very timid when it comes to decision making and afraid that we might make a wrong move.

What if we turn this fear around and consider us as the universe? Now the earth, the constellation, galaxy, and the whole universe become a speck in our universe. Because when we look inside, it’s already amazing. All the fears would dissipate because we are content with the infinite possibilities of our own universe.
