You at the Center of Your Universe
Published:
In the grand scheme of things, we often like to believe that we are the center of the universe – that our presence is as significant to others as it is to ourselves. But let’s take a moment to consider a sobering truth: in reality, we might not be as important as we think.
Life is a transient journey, a journey that we’re all just passing through, each of us navigating our own time in this vast universe. The control we have over the duration of our journey is limited; time ticks away, and we can’t halt its relentless progression.
As for the people we share our time with, can we really be sure of their permanence in our lives? Relationships ebb and flow, and the certainty of who will accompany us throughout our journey remains elusive.
So, what can we do in the face of this uncertain reality?
The answer lies in embracing the present moment. Instead of dwelling on the unpredictable nature of time and companionship, we can find solace and fulfillment in the unique and irreplaceable essence of our own existence. After all, if we are indeed the center of our universe, then let’s make that center a place of joy, self-discovery, and appreciation.
Enjoying your presence in your circle becomes a mantra for navigating the unpredictable currents of life. It’s a reminder to relish the moments, appreciate the people who share them with you now, and recognize the importance of self-love and self-fulfillment.
In conclusion, while we may not hold the cosmic importance we sometimes assign to ourselves, the beauty of our existence lies in the here and now. So, let’s savor the time we have, cherish the connections we make, and make the most of being the center of our own universe.
In life, we all face challenges. Whether at work, in relationships, or personal goals, problems are an unavoidable part of the journey. Some people, however, seem to create their own problems—sometimes without even realizing it. Then, they take on the role of the victim, acting as though life has been unfair to them. This behavior is not only exhausting for others but also harmful to the person doing it. Why? Because those who play the victim of their own problems always lose. 
The phrase “Those who cannot occupy themselves will be occupied by others”, speaks to the importance of self-direction, autonomy, and personal purpose. When we lack direction or fail to take control of how we spend our time and energy, we become vulnerable to being influenced, controlled, or even manipulated by others.
