Almost all of us see the world we live in through perceived limits. We often hear expressions like “there are only so many hours in the day” and “I can only do so much.”
Numbers don’t lie and one of the most beautiful things about numbers is that they are never ending. They are infinite and very few beautiful things can claim that. Flowers lose their petals, a landscape can change and our loved ones are here for a brief life when considering the vastness of time.
Take today as an opportunity to do something small that could make a huge difference. Whether you take the time to tidy something, telling your partner you love them, sitting down for five minutes to talk about your day as a family (telling your pet still counts in my book), making that investment or just simply taking 60 seconds to completely switch off. Doing it once might be called an event but do it consistently and it becomes a lifestyle.

Making one person laugh makes you funny, making an audience laugh elevates you to a comedian. Owning a plot can mean you are a land owner whereas claiming multiple countries redefines you as an emperor/empress.
Many of us never seem to appreciate the smaller numbers in our world. Yet the number one is as powerful as infinity. In fact, we often crave the number one when it suits us such as winning any type of competition or having that one piece of good fortune. Maybe it’s time we give the number one more emphasis in taking the first steps of our journey to success.
Not only is that first step important but can have the potential to escalate progress quicker than we can ever imagine. Proof of that is anything viral online. For me that word viral is important as nature is still the ultimate power.
We are; for now, still the ones governing our world albeit tech and AI are starting to redefine things. One of the most amazing people to listen to right now is Dr Hannah Fry and would highly recommend her to any age group.
It takes just 42 folds (in half) of a single piece of normal paper to reach the moon. Go make that fold in your world and keep going to see what you can achieve.
