Life is a slim chance

Is life not just the result of lucky streaks brought forth by one mother of all lucky streaks? Think about it. All that we know as life is all happening on one planet, that’s stuck spinning in orbit around one giant star, in space. A force threw our little planet just the right distance away from the sun to keep it within distance of its gravitational pull, making it spin in such a way that it doesn’t wander off into space, far away from the radiative energy the sun produces; energy which also happens to be reaching Earth in just the right amounts needed to support life. Never mind where it all came from and the original state of things before our miracle. What are the chances of Earth’s fortunes? Probably one in eternity.

As of this writing, scientists are yet to find a planet truly like our own life-supporting miracle. It makes me wonder. The billions of lives on earth are all in existence because of this one slim chance that enabled life to be. This should really make you appreciate the power of one chance. If one chance was all it took to make our world then why should we waste opportunities and chances of a lifetime in life? Why should we be afraid to take chances in life? What if the slim chance of our existence had not been taken in the first place? Would we have a life to not take chances with? Everything and everyone would not be.

This is just some inspiration to help you be more outgoing, so that you take chances in life. If one chance was all it took to create our world and this thing we know as life, then will we be stupid for taking some chances in our own lives as well? Hard-to-achieve things remain so until one of us chooses to take the chance and not give up. As I wrote in Mirror (Mere Reflections, Book 2), remember that the opportunity that you are looking at today will probably never present itself again in your life. There will never be another day such as this one, with all the variables of life combining in such a way to form this opportunity. So don’t let it go, grab it.
