purpose

Every once in a while I contemplate my purpose. Yesterday, I found the answer.

You see, the odds of my parents meeting was roughly 1 in 20,000. Combine that with the odds of them having a child (1 in 2,000) and we’re looking at an approximately 1 in 40,000,000 chance of me being here.

But wait — there’s more.

Mothers typically produce 100,000 eggs in their lifetime and fathers make about 4 trillion sperm during a year.

What are the odds that the one egg met the one sperm that could make me? 1 in 400,000,000,000,000,000 (400 quardrillion) - which is also the approximate volume of the Atlantic Ocean.

THERE’S A 1 IN ATLANTIC OCEAN’S CHANCE OF BEING HERE.

Wow.

So, what is my purpose? To exist.

And so is yours.

We’ve overcome insane odds just to be here. So, sit back, relax and free yourself from overwhelming expectations.

You’re here for one reason and one reason alone — to be yourself.
