Yes, you. The person reading this – you are miraculous. You are a straight-up marvel of wonder and science. Did you realise that…?
Now I don’t want to over-inflate your ego here; that would never do, but you are, in fact, a work of sheer scientific brilliance just strolling around like it’s no big deal.
Allow me to explain: your existence relied upon one solitary sperm out of millions that started the race to create you managing to find and fertilise a tiny egg however many years ago since your precise moment of conception (ok, so you may not want to dwell on the biology of that one too much, but they factual accuracies nonetheless!).
There were hundreds of thousands of variables which could have influenced and got in the way of you becoming the exact zygote which became the embryo which became the foetus which became you being precisely you. But they didn’t. And here you are as the only version of you that has ever and will ever exist.
Unique. Exceptional. Marvellous.
So, the next time you feel underwhelmed with yourself. Remember: you are a miracle…go ahead and act like it.
