Nothing Is Ever a Big Deal
Summary
- Remember, the scale of the universe is unimaginably vast; traveling at the speed of light, you can circle Earth eight times in just a second.
- Even at the speed of light, reaching the nearest star would be a three-year journey — that's how immense the cosmos is.
- Grasping that it would take you 3,000 years to name every star in just our Milky Way Galaxy—without taking a break—puts daily stresses into perspective.
- With over two trillion galaxies out there, the problems that seem big to us, like worrying over a book presentation, can actually be quite insignificant.

How To Take Action
A good way of doing things is to start by putting your worries into perspective. Remember, the universe is huge, and our problems can feel smaller when we think about that. If you're stressed, imagine traveling at the speed of light. You'd circle Earth eight times in one second! That's super fast. But even then, it would take three years to get to the nearest star. So, if the universe is that big and it takes that long at that speed, it shows our problems, like being nervous about a book talk, aren't that big.
I would suggest making a "universe perspective" reminder. When you're stressed, look at it. Ask yourself, "Is this as big as galaxy-sized worries?" If not, take a deep breath and focus on what you can control.
If you feel overwhelmed, try this out: Take one minute and name things bigger than your problem. Like how it'd take 3,000 years to name all the stars in our galaxy! This can make your worries seem way smaller.
When working on a project, like a presentation, think about the two trillion galaxies out there. It can help you worry less about doing everything perfect. Instead, focus on doing your best for the people listening. And remember, making one person's day better is awesome, no matter how big the universe is.
So, when you’re caught up in a stressful moment, use these thoughts to bring back the calm. Just keep doing your best and know that even little steps are a big deal in the grand space of things.

you can travel around the Earth eight times in a second if you travel at the speed of light and if you were to travel to the closest star at that speed it would take you 3 years and if you were to name every star in the galaxy just our galaxy one a second didn't sleep it would take you 3,000 years and there are two trillion galaxies and so the idea that I get really stressed about a presentation about a book seems kind of silly
