Transmission 059: You're stronger than you think

- - - - - GREETINGS, EARTHLING - - - - -

I tried to carry all nine grocery bags from the car to the kitchen in one trip.

Because I am a being of pride. And because trips are for quitters.

The final 12 metres turned into a kind of slow shuffle-lurch. My hands went numb. A can of beans slid out of one bag and hit my foot. The milk started to tilt. I made noises I didn’t know I could make.

But I made it.

Collapsed into a chair, arms striped from plastic, I felt it: triumph.

Sometimes toughness is forged in battles no one sees.

Today, give yourself credit.
You’ve survived every hard day so far.
That wasn’t luck. That was strength.

If there’s a challenge you’ve been putting off, return to it. One small step at a time. The hardest part is believing you can.

Hummingbirds.

Tiny, vibrating jewels. Wings moving faster than human eyes can track. They hover like spacecraft, zip like darts, and pause mid-air as if time forgot about them.

They eat constantly just to stay alive. A full life, powered by sugar water and floral dreams.

I saw one the other day. It made me gasp.

No bigger than a thumb, but it felt like magic.
A reminder that small can still be astonishing.

Float well, Earthling.

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.

Inspired by Stoic philosophy, Tao, Alan Watts, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.

If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.

If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.

Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
