Have you noticed that the era we live in has features that were just dreams a hundred or even a few decades ago? Just take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

1. Connecting to the World and an Ocean of Knowledge
Not too long ago, 40 years ago, the idea of accessing any knowledge or resource from a device in your pocket was just a dream. Voice and video calls to anywhere in the world, photographing and filming anything, transferring information anywhere. Me writing this post from this corner of the world and you reading it on the other side of the globe. Incredible.

2. Not Dying from Simple or Even Serious Diseases
Did you know that less than a hundred years ago, if you cut your hand, you could die from a possible infection? Today, even if your appendix bursts and infection spreads through your body, you barely worry because the chance of death is extremely low. Count thousands of similar diseases.

3. Instant Access to Unlimited Food and Water
Have you noticed that at any time of day, you can order anything you want from food delivery apps and have it delivered to your door?

4. Travel by Land, Sea, and Air to Anywhere
High-speed trains, airplanes, and massive ships have made travel extremely convenient. For people just a few decades ago, who at best traveled by horse, imagining today’s travel facilities was unimaginable. Not to mention imagining humans walking on the moon and their robots exploring other planets.

5. Vacuum Cleaners, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, and Dishwashers
Need explanation? No, but imagine 100 years ago none of these existed.

6. Hot Water Showers
Can you imagine that just a few decades ago, it wasn’t possible to take a hot shower in winter?

7. Change and the Ability to Change
A hundred years ago, change wasn’t possible. Whatever you are and wherever you come from, you can change. You can shift your inner mood and move toward any state that is ideal for you step by step.
