What Are the Odds

What are the odds …

~Of bowling a 300 game                

~1 in 11,500

~Of being hit by lightning                

~1 in 576,000

~Of getting a royal flush

on your first five cards              

~1 in 649,740

~Of becoming U.S. President 

~1 in 10,000,000

~Of winning the $340 million

jackpot in Mega Millions lottery 

  –1 in 750,000,000

Of you being born in this

particular time, place

and circumstances                                  

~1 in 400,000,000,000

And there you sit, reading about all these odds.  You are a bloody miracle in the making.  You made it against all odds.

Now what are you going to do about that? 

`Oh, I suppose you could wander around, twiddle your thumbs, work at meaningless minutia. 

`You could watch a thousand soap operas.

`You could let your schedule be dictated by

the TV.

You could, I suppose.  But you are one of 400,000,000,000 possibilities.  YOU are unique.  YOU made it when 399,000,000,000 others didn’t.

What does that do for you? 

Now … what is your worth?

Now … how do you view your opportunities.

I’d say you’re somebody.  SOMEBODY all in caps.

   Today, proclaim your success at being.

      Proclaim your opportunities.

         Proclaim your potentiality.

You really are a work of art. 

Today – go become all you can become.

Odds calculated by factoring in the chances of survival of a continuous lineage of more than 100,000 generations of your predecessors, all surviving successive natural disasters throughout more than a million years of geological time, including factors of evolution, biogenesis, specific sperm and egg combinations, ultimately merging successfully together to result in the one-and-only-YOU.
