Me and the Universe

Sometimes I feel so small, so insignificant. But this week someone made me realise that I am not so unimportant... everyone and everything is here for a reason and God created them all to co-exist in harmony. The world is a magnificent place. Whe you think about it - man is nothing without the animals and the plants, who are nothing without the earth and sky and water and sun. Can you imagine man without a planet, or a planet without life?

That being said, since everything has an effect on everything else, so do I. So, ultimately, everything I do, everything choice I make, affects the universe. A positive word, a kind gesture, a smile can launch a chain reaction of optimistic outcomes... just as a sneer, a refusal, or even neglecting myself can have just the opposite reaction.

With every choice comes a decision and with every decision a consequence. Every time we choose one thing over another, we miss out on something, it's inevitable. So what choices will I make knowing I can't avoid consequences and that these consequences will not only affect me? Now that I know the world will be a different place if I choose to brush my teeth in the morning or if clean my apartment... how will this change me?

I wanted a sense of worth... but I don't know that I like having this much power either!
