The Pale Blue Dot
🌍✨
When the pressure feels overwhelming, remember: it’s not life or death – it’s all about perspective.

Olympians like Phoebe Wright understand this better than most. When she missed her shot at the US Olympic team in 2012, she reminded herself, ‘The only people who care are my friends, family, and a few track nerds.’

This shift in mindset is powerful. It’s not about downplaying your goals – it’s about seeing them clearly. Sometimes, we overestimate the stakes. In the grand scheme of things, it’s just one moment in a life full of them.

Whether you’re an athlete or chasing other dreams, it helps to take a step back and reframe the moment – it’s like looking at planet Earth from outer space – a giant blue rock shining in a vast universe. Well, more realistically, planet Earth is actually just a small and insignificant pale blue dot. This puts things into perspective.

So, breathe, focus, and give it your all – knowing that no matter the outcome, the universe won’t collapse. You’re still shining.
