There is always something to watch whenever you feel down or sad about something. It might be your favourite TV show, favourite music video, stand-up comedian, motivational speaker, favourite movie or anything that motivates you and helps you to reclaim power.
But this motivation I’m talking about is a bit different or kinda strange as it embraces varied sensations and questions within itself. And perhaps this can be the biggest motivation or reason to keep going and to know who we truly are and our place in the Universe.
Actually, it is a YouTube video that ironically is motivational, beautiful, informational, and can be depressing at the same time.
Just a couple years back I watched a YouTube video – ‘How the universe is way bigger than you think’ by RealLifeLore. And honestly, It didn’t look like much at first, but due to some unknown reasons, I started watching it again & again over time.
Human nature says that if you do certain activities continuously or on a loop then in time you’ll get bored of it and might lose interest.
It’s been more than 2 years for me now. Whenever I feel down or when things just stop working for me, I always fall back on this video or similar kinds of videos.
Although it doesn’t solve any of your life problems or neither give you the exact solutions but for a few hours or a few days it creates an environment in your mind to stop worrying about unnecessary thoughts, it gives you strange but positive hopes which is better than any other motivation. Perhaps this is the best thing, I guess.
Because when your mind stops worrying about negative thoughts, your quality notions get a chance to enter the brain function. So, it is indirectly helping you in a way though. There is absolutely something strange about this kind of video.
‘How the Universe is way bigger than you think‘ is all about the enormous and fascinating Universe and how unbelievably vast it is that no human mind is capable enough to even imagine it.
I’m so incredibly astonished by all facts and visualization presented in the video and how insignificant or significant everything can be.
If you are going to watch it for the first time, it’ll gonna blow your mind away. You felt like you are out of this world or maybe Universe. It’ll make you wonder about unknown things.
And as I said, the video is a bit strange. It isn’t right if I just say it is the biggest motivation. As it embraces varied sensations that vary from person to person. It might possible that you even feel depressed or pissed off when you realize that we won’t ever be able to actually see these kinds of stuff with our own eyes.
As It is said in the video too – “We simply don’t know what else is out there because light from these incredible places has not yet had enough time in the Universe’s history to reach us yet, back on Earth. And the light from some places may never reach us at all.”
I absolutely love the line said by American Astronomer Carl Sagan about the “Pale Blue Dot” i.e., Earth. It is the greatest photograph ever taken in the history of the human species. The photo is taken by the Voyager 1 Space probe which is the furthest man-made object away from Earth. Take a look at these amazing lines:-
Now, what do you think? Isn’t it all amazing? Possibly the most important and significant speech made by any human being. This is the ultimate reality. Sometimes I wonder if humanity is able to know this much about the universe, yet we haven’t even been outside of our solar system. So, why don’t we stop putting money on wars but on space? Wouldn’t it be better?
If you ever feel like everything is slipping from your hand, just step outside and look up at the stars, you feel better. All of your pain and suffering will feel like an illusion. All those numbers, concepts and thoughts we have as intelligent being feels insignificant. They exist because we observe them.
Like Shaun David Hutchinson said, “Your entire sense of self-worth is predicated upon your belief that you matter, that you matter to the universe. But you don’t, because we are the ants.”
Do you know what the fun fact is? I’ve always been a commerce student. I don’t much about science but I’m always interested in learning more & more about our universe. It amazed me all the time. It is the biggest motivation I have.
While explaining all this, I can still feel that same sensation that I always have while reading about these things. And for your information, it isn’t any promotional blog to promote any channel. I just feel the urge to share this beyond-belief thought with my fellow Earthians.
Because I believe I’m not the only one here who perceive these emotions, there must be plenty of people with the same thoughts and feeling. And I would like to know your opinion in our comment section.
Before ending, I suggest, if you having a bad day or got a problem in life just watch this video and read more about the related information and facts. And interestingly, it will definitely change the way you look at the sky at night.

The size of the universe is a reminder of the majesty of God. Only fools would not be humbled.
Absolutely. No human mind can even imagine it.

Ritish, I enjoyed this post and the video. I am comforted by my own insignificance. <3 All the best!
Thankyou so much Cheryl.
Mostly everybody is comfortable by their own insignificance.
Btw How's your health now ? Are you alright?
Wow seems interesting!!
Yes, it is interesting.
Hope you'll like it.
Always loved Karl Sagan. Looking forward to watching the video. Thank you for the information about it.
He was a legend. His books is amazing as he was.
Thankyou for reading Miki.
The stars are amazing especially when paired with northern lights! I am nominating you for an award soon btw!
Oh! WOW.
Thankyou for recognition. I appreciate that.
It’s posted:)
You've got my curiosity up now! Thanks for the compelling discussion and reminder of how to distance ourselves from our daily woes, if only for a moment or two...
Hi! Seliza Thank-you so much.
Btw How are you? It's been a while since we talked.
THERE'S...CARL SAGAN!!!!! :D
The Legend.
Pale Blue Dot misses him.
He taught at Cornell while I was studying at nearby State University College at Cortland, NY.
I remember, I’ve heard one of his speech which he delivered from Cornell University.
and his grad students would give him a Johnny Carson entrance...."heeeeere's ...Carl!" :D
Haha! Yes
"D
Hi, Ritish, doing well! Working a lot and jealous of your consistent blogging; I find that my ideas and/or time are sparse, unfortunately, lol. But I enjoy reading all of your topics.
Haha. Not only you, I guess that's a problem with every content writer.
But anyway Thankyou so much for giving your time, reading our post.
Well...this is Amazing the biggest motivation it can be.
Yes, it can be. Thanks for reading.
This reminds me of two places in the Bible: Psalm 8 and Psalm 19.
Both affirm that there are things beyond our understanding, but that there is a Person who created it all and knows each of us by name.
And He made you. As a meme I saw recently noted, "You were created by God, and he don't make junk."
And a Kenyan proverb, "If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have not spent a night in a tent with a mosquito." 😁
It is good to keep perspective at times of how small we are, but there are other times we need to realize Father created us with purpose. We are not just accidents of evolution floating from one pointless explosion to a pointless diminution.
Haha! Ofcourse I'm aware of that.
It just a perspective to realise how significant or insignificant things can be. As you said 'there are things beyond our understanding, but there is something we need to realise'.
The same goes like- 'you cannot understand everything, because the moment you do you're a God'.
Nice one😄✨
Thankyou
v well wrtn ,There is no doubt in this, that you have a very good grip on your subject, good luck .
Thankyou Nitin.

That blue dot photo really puts life into perspective.
It really is. No doubt.
I will definately watch this video. Universe is very fascinating.
You should, it's a worth watching. I can assure you.
Nice
Thanks.
Do like all our posts.
Hope you'll enjoy them
It's always amazing to watch such motivational videos that defined our purpose of life in this world. I have learned that when we get to our wit’s end, then we came to know that God is everywhere and we are just a dot in His greater plan.
Very well written article, Ritish.
Learning about universe and cosmos always fascinates me. Everytime I watch similar kind of videos, it changes the way I look at the sky at night. There must be something strange about it that we don't yet understand.
Well pleased you liked it.
Perhaps space is limitless and that’s why we are fascinated by it from the beginning of time. I would encourage you by saying that keep on watching such videos both for recreational and educational purposes. Thank for responding, Ritish.
Thankyou
I will, it's the only thing that keeps me motivated and positive, otherwise our world is too harsh, it's the space that makes the difference between every significant and insignificant things all around us.
Well-spoken!
