The most distant galaxy cluster we can see from our planet is 8.8 billion light-years away from Earth.
The moon is 1.3 light-seconds from Earth.
Funny how little factoids like this can have a way of putting everything into perspective for you.
The kind of perspective that makes you realize what is important. What's not. What’s worth bringing home at the end of the day and what’s better left out of your life. Real black and white issues... because when you break it down, everything's black or white at the end of all things.
Imagine for a minute if you had the ability to forget all the petty, nonsensical bullshit in your life, leave behind all of the distractions and occupations that complicate things, and do what you truly wanted to do with your time. What would it be? Would it be something you've already done? Would it be what you're doing now? And if not... why not?
Life is too short and way too insignificant in the grand scheme to not fight for our passions, and instead be wrapped up in the perpetual suckage of time and our inevitable defeat by it.
Do what you want NOW. Fight for it like you need it!
Experience what your heart has always asked for. Dreams are meaningless if they are forever left on the pillow -- Do something with them already!
Because it's so much more fun to dream when you're awake...
