The Wonders Of 2

One in many ways is seen as an important number. When someone wins something, we would call them number one, you can even relate it to the start of a new era as it is the first number. Three is also seen as an important and valuable number because it correlates with how many dimensions we can perceive or even the timeline of a story with the beginning, middle and the end. 

Now in between these numbers we have the number two. The number two will never be seen the same as number one and three. Two is boring, why would you want to be second place? Would you want to love a number that is related to pooping!? And who wants to love a number that is the egg McMuffin on the McDonalds menu, yuck!  

But even though this number has some negative aspects I still love it. The number two is amazing and is related to so many things, such as how humans have two hemispheres of their brain, or even the duality of yin and yang bringing harmony and balance to our world. Two also gives anyone a chance for silver instead of gold. Two can even act as a bridge between one thing and another, because it only takes two people to fall in love and make a life with each other. These things make up only some of the beauty in between one and three, that’s what makes two so powerful. Wouldn’t you agree that all this is beautiful? 

I thought there was problem after problem with this specific number, but I was wrong. I’ve concluded that the idea behind the number two is something greater than what I would have initially thought. The number two has its own life. The number two lives day to day in everyones lives. The number two even has a family where they are right in the middle. Two has siblings as well, number one and number three. Number two is right in the middle in age and in their own reality.  

It is difficult for Two as sometimes they are often overlooked because number one is the oldest who will always be the first and number three who is the baby and will always be the baby. But where does that leave someone like number two? It is something of a limbo that they were placed in against their will. Two has learned though, two has learned to persevere through any hardship thrown at them. This perseverance has led number two to want to do more not just for themself but for others. Numbers one and three are so important to two. So, they believe they need to be better for them. Realizing something like this was an awakening of sorts. The realization that something in the middle needs to step up for what comes before and after. 

Two is something that gives me life. By being second I know I have room to grow and having this knowledge gives me the motivation that I need. It is not just me as well, the number two is related to so much more than anyone would think. Being second always keeps someone on the cusp of greatness, and I like that. The sense of knowing that I have more in me makes me strive to reach my maximum potential.
