When I used to work as the Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Journalists, there were times when the job was very stressful. I coped with the tension by putting a picture of an earthrise taken by one of the Apollo missions on my computer.
Every time I started worrying, I would look at that desktop wallpaper and realize that my problems were quite small when looked at from a distance. Somehow the situation didn’t appear so significant any more and I went about spending my energies completing the task instead of worrying.
Have a look at the following web page. It will compare our earth to the size of other planets in our solar system, then with the sun, then with other stars, including the biggest known so far.

It is much better than my desktop image. The earthrise minimized my fears. This makes them totally vanish.
Next time you feel the pressures of life surrounding you, just compare them to the universe and realize that they don’t amount to that much.
