What the Map Truly Proves

So, one of the nice features of having a blog on Blogger is that it has a site tracker. I can see, at any given time, which posts have been viewed and in which countries the posts have been read. Yes, countries. At present, this blog had 289 views in the US, second place of Germany with 12, and third place of Russia with 6. Even Palestine has a couple views. The first blog I wrote had 616 views total; with first place being the Netherlands with 162 views, France with 73, and the U.S. in third place with 65 views. 

Now, while it sounds like I'm bragging, I'm not. I'm actually humbled by this. I'm not some jet-setting celebrity. I'm just your average guy who puts words on a page and share with you my sliver of life and views on it all. So let me tell you what this map truly says: You matter.

I may not have met you, but if you're reading this blog, it has made an impact. It might be a small impact or a giant splash. It's completely likely that I will never know. So if someone you probably have never met can make an impact like this, imagine the imprint you leave on the world. Just like your thumbprint and DNA strand makes you uniquely you, so does the rest of your life's experiences. You cannot place a monetary value on how much the human life really means. There will never be another you, so why waste your time being someone else entirely. Be you. Make the most out of your life. Build your own map, because I promise you the world is a lot smaller than you think it is. I'm living proof of that.

So, go forth and make the most of the time you have left. Seize each day as if it is your last and I promise you you will have made the most of it.
