This stat completely blew my mind when I ready it today. Maybe you already knew this from science class back in the day, and maybe I did too, but I certainly forgot until right now.
The sunlight you see out your window right now is 8 and a half minutes old. Let that sink in. It takes EIGHT and a HALF minutes for sunlight to reach us.
Insane!

If this story doesn’t motivate you on a Monday I don’t know what will.
Almost twenty years ago this guy from Seattle who’s a big basketball fan set a goal for himself to hit 1 million free throws. He started out by shooting 100 shots a day and keep track of all the ones he made. The longest streak he ever has was 222 in a row!
Then last week on Thursday… on his 82dn birthday… he finally reached his goal and sunk his one millionth free throw! How awesome is that?! He says he has around a 94% shooting percentage at this point. Which is amazing.
So this is your sign if you’re reading this. Set a goal, stick to it, and get it done. Even if it takes you two decades.
