So you think you are a Big Shot?

Sometimes we need a little perspective on how big we are.... (see below)

OK, let's look a little further...Just watch how big the Earth really is....

Perspective

Now I am feeling a little smaller...

Shall we take a look at the Sun? Now take a look at the size of the Earth...

Solar System

Next time some one "acts like a big shot" send them this post!

I am feeling a little smaller. It is amazing to me that there is always more than one way to look at thing...

Here's a sign I keep in my office:

Three things I believe in

1. There is a God

2. I am not him

3. Neither are you

Keeps things in perspective for me...

Hi Charles,

I've seen that before, but every time I am reminded how little we actually are. Very humbling. Thanks for sharing.

My perspective on selp-importance comes from living at the beach. When I feel my ego growing too big, all I need do is walk on the beach and watch the ocean. In the scheme of things I am no bigger than a grain of sand. Humbling indeed.

Charles - I felt as tiny as Pluto is to Jupiter when I stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon. I could feel the majesty and was awestruck. Thanks for bringing that memory to the front.

Charles, I loved it...It's a wonderful analogy to many things in life, especially if you're feeling like a Big Shot :)

Charles,

Pretty impressive analogy. In cosmic terms, we are insignificant.

Rich

Charles, we are only significant in God's eyes...

Charles, You are so right!!! It's all in the perspective isn't it...

Helping you to help others live their American dream...

This illustration is really humbling. I can't wait to show it to my teenagers when I get home. I hope it puts things into perspective for them.

Great perspective Charles, what was that saying...'Never let success go to your head and failure to your heart'
