This Can Be The Biggest Motivation

Advertisement

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?

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:-

If you look at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and every forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, every inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

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.
