The Pale Blue Dot Affirmation

Every morning one of the habits I try to live is to take out a few moments to ground myself with a simple affirmation.

I have collected many of these affirmations over time, some stoic, some spiritual & others from some weird sources. This one is created with the help of Gemini from a very famous speech by Carl Sagan on the 'Blue Dot'. Look it up on YouTube - it is very impactful & carries with it a sense of our place or meaning in the world.

So here's the Affirmation that often centres me, helps me recognise my ego at play & at the same time, humbles me.

"From the vantage point of the universe, my problems are minuscule, even irrelevant."

I see myself as one dot among 8 billion on a 'pale blue dot.'  With this, I will soften my ego and stop over-identifying with roles, titles, wins or losses.
This humility will keep my life centred and my heart open to those I love.  I will show up for the people in my life as a steady presence, seeking to connect rather than to impress.  I will move through the world life-centred - living with purpose instead of performing for others.
