Inspiration

If you need a different perspective on life:


Looks like a black sheet with sparkles, doesn't it? This actually a view from the Hubble Telescope. My professor showed this in class, and I nearly cried. Each of those sparkles aren't stars or moons or planets; those sparkles are GALAXIES. So imagine yourself as one in 7 billion on Earth, then imagine yourself in relation to our entire galaxy. Then look at this picture. Where are you here?

It just made me see how each of us, no matter what we do in the world, is just a tiny little less-than-a-speck in the grand scheme of things.
