TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: This former soldier proves why you should get going on your bucket list items

If you have a bucket list of life goals now is the time to get started on achieving them. If you need some motivation here’s a story for you.

Les Binns is a 48 year old veteran from the U.K. He was in Afghanistan in 2009 when a bomb went off and blinded him in one eye. Now all these years later he hasn’t let that set him back from his life goals. One of which was to climb Mount Everest. His first two attempts he never got to the summit because both times he turned back to help save other climbers who were struggling along the way. Then on his third try last month he finally did it! Proving why you should never give up, and also get going on that bucket list.
