Motivational Monday: You Are Made Of Stars

Do You Realise That You Are Made Of Stars?

Do you ever wonder where you came from?

That is the stuff that’s inside your body like your bones, organs, muscles…etc. All of these things are made of various molecules and atoms. But where did these little ingredients come from? And how were they made? The answer to these questions will take us back to a time long ago when the universe was much different than it is now.

Our body is composed of roughly 7x10²⁷ atoms. That is a lot of atoms! Try writing that number out on a piece of paper: 7 with 27 zeros behind it. We say roughly because if you pluck a hair or pick your nose there might be slightly less. Now it turns out that of those billion billion billion atoms, 4.2x10²⁷ of them are hydrogen. Hydrogen is bigbang dust and not stardust. This leaves 2.8x10²⁷ atoms of stardust. Thus the amount of stardust atoms in our body is 40%.

Since stardust atoms are the heavier elements, the percentage of star mass in our body is much more impressive. Most of the hydrogen in our body floats around in the form of water. The human body is about 60% water and hydrogen only accounts for 11% of that water mass. Even though water consists of two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen, hydrogen has much less mass. 

We can conclude that 93% of your body mass is made up of stardust, because all of the elements except for hydrogen and helium are created in the stars!

Consider that YOU have the capacity for infinite greatness within you and are made up of the same elements that we find in the heavens!

We must believe that we have the mind, the strength and the courage to do the same things, if not, more – than all of the greatest achievers throughout history.

Let’s not ever lose sight of the infinite greatness that lies within us!

It’s up to you to tap into this source of power, first through seeking knowledge and then taking action, which is applied knowledge – WISDOM!

Remember that you are not only made up of the stars in the heavenly realms, you are also made in the image of infinite intelligence – to live a life of infinite greatness.

That is all –
