A heart beating stardust

There is a saying that I've heard a long time ago: “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” And whenever I wished something really hard, I reminded myself of this saying. This, as well, complies with my personal believe that if you do good, good will be done to you. If you send positive energy, positive energy comes back your way. Sometimes, I do a random act of kindness, as all of you do and it feels great. No matter how small the gist is, it still counts. Be it holding the door for your neighbor, or feeding the cat that's always in front of your building, or giving your seat to an elderly person on the bus, or just helping that person that slipped or dropped their things in the middle of the street. How warm does your heart feel when they smile at you and say thank you? 

I have said it before, I'll say it one more time: I believe all people are good and beautiful in their own way. You know, we all came in this world in the same way. And we are leaving it the same way. What most of us don't realize is that we are all the same. We are all souls given a body as a tool to go through this journey called life. And our bodies, they are all made of stardust.

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. You are stardust.

And the promise of a day that's shiny new only a dreamer could afford this point of view. You are the Universe and there isn't anything you can't do. If you can picture it, you can achieve it. You are a winner, that is why you are here, on this planet, to win your life. We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision. You gotta have a big vision to know what your abilities are. Don't be afraid. Fear limits you. It's okay to dream and dream big. Don't just exist. Live. Thrive. Love. Share. Care. DARE!

Cause there, in your chest, there is a heart beating stardust.
