At times we can get so tangled up in our own lives that we forget the rest of the world exists. We focus so intently on ourselves, picking apart every aspect of our lives. Eventually we come up for air and are shocked by the millions of other worlds happening around us.

Our own orbit has us in a self-centred trance. We are hypnotised by our own patterns and stories. Our mind is consumed with our own existence.

We must resist the temptation to obsess over ourselves. We must remember to connect with others, to listen to their stories, to help them if we can, and to try to see life from their perspective. By doing this we not only connect with others, we connect with ourselves.

We are here to learn, grow, contribute and be part of something bigger than ourselves. Whilst our own worlds can consume us entirely, the reality is that our individual worlds are minuscule. By focusing on something so tiny we are missing the vastness of all else.

Look up and out. The world is waiting for you.
