You're too small. And that's the advantage.

Prefer to listen? I recorded a full audio version for members inside Invisible World.

You are too small. Has anyone ever said that to you?

Between you and me Friend, worse, more critical, have you ever said that to you, inside your invisible world?

You’re too small for those friends, what could you offer them anyway?

You are too small for that job, believe me other people are waaaaay more qualified.

You’re too small for that acquisition. Or to IPO. Honestly → your team doesn’t have the talent.

Too small to rekindle that relationship with your kid, you already missed the important parts.

❤️‍🩹 On your 3rd marriage? The facts show you’re too small for love.

Still only 200 subscribers, you are too small for that startup🙄 

Still living in that old house? It’s okay, because you’re too small anyway.

You’re still too flabby to get their attention.

You’re definitely too small for that global service trip, better pack up for grandmas instead . . . again 🥱 

Don’t you get it by now, you’re too small. You are not enough.

Must be bigger—but is it true?

You with me? You know where I’m going next?

Right → 🌞→ Ever considered the Sun’s perspective?

100? Our Sun is embarrassingly small, a bit lightweight actually. An average middle-aged balding dumpy forgettable star against a wildly magnificent array of Milky Way superstars.

The Milky Way. Full of hotter, attractive, big stars. Allstars with deep pockets 💵

Big shiny ones. Can’t miss mansion stars glazed with extra twinkle power. You know the ones, they have like at least 100X the Instagram followers.

🌟 Like ‘Stephenson 2-18’. Know that one?

That’s the biggest star (by size) we know of in the Universe. Yeah, for comparison if the Sun were a ping‑pong ball, Stephenson 2‑18 would be a giant sphere the size of a football stadium!

And don’t get me started on the star R136a1? It’s the brightest star we know of. As in ~8.7 million times brighter than the Sun.

Comparison? If our Sun were the brightness of a house candle, then R136a1 detonates like a never ending lightning strike ⚡️ 

Notwithstanding the gap what does our Sun do?

🔌Just fold up shop and pull the plug?

It’s not caught up in being too small. Not caught up if it’s ‘enough’ or not. In fact it’s smallness is the advantage.

It’s what allows us to have InspoLetter together, your morning coffee, the people you love, the grass you play on, life itself.

100? Worlds form in our solar system because of the Sun’s ‘smallness’, not in spite of it. All by celestial design.

Do you ever wish for something yuge? Bright? Big dreams?

However what would happen to us, if we got that brightest wish-upon-a-star R136a1 to be ours?

Right. Our whole Earth, everything we love in it, would instantly vaporize! 🔥 

Sure it’s big. Sure R136a1 has millions of followers. Sure it would be cool if you did. If you were that big star you’re hoping for.

Would it be good if it happened? Maybe, Maybe Not says our Taoist Farmer friend.

Friend, it’s true, the Sun is small. But see how it’s perfect for running an entire solar system?

I don’t know what you are running in your world. What are you dreaming of?

In case none told you today, it’s okay if you are not as bright as R136a1. What matters is if you show up and shine your true colors.

And that’s our practice this week at Invisible World.

Capture this week how your Smallness Is Your Strength.

Let your size go. Your money, your intellect, your influence, your relationship. Maybe it doesn’t need to be bigger.

IDK. Is it possible?

Remember, it’s not our size that shapes the room. It’s the way we show up. Worlds don’t form around size, rather they form around presence.

BTW, R136a1 is so violently luminous and unstable that planet formation is basically impossible around it.

Its radiation, winds, and mass‑loss rates would shred any forming planet long before it could cohere.

Plus it has a fraction of the lifespan that our Sun does.

Hmm. See? Maybe the world really does need who you were meant to be. Not how you will be, or could be, or when you’re enlightened. But how you are today. Is it possible?

Thanks for the journey together today. I hope your inner core doesn’t just burn strong and bright today, but also the true hue.

🫠 So many of you loved the butter Inspo. You remember Fiend?

Spread your butter to the edge today. All the way. With your unique superpowers!

Tune in to your core @ 27M°. That deep core temperature is just right for your solar system, for your orbital flow.

Mind 🌞 

Should we test our hypothesis with a different kind of star?

Sure.

But let’s pull out the jumbo petri dish too, not something eclectic and only happening in Funafuti 🌎️ 

What about the world’s most popular sport? Right soccer.

The best, the GOAT? Messi of course. Even I knew that.

One must be very tall, jacked up with muscles to dominate at the world’s largest sport (eg, biggest sample size available).

Turns out that’s just an illusion.

He’s only how tall 5’7’’? Interesting. Messi’s low center of gravity gives him unmatched balance, agility, and acceleration.

Hmm.

So, what illusions can you flip this week in your world?
