In less than 60 minutes from now, an object having one-fourth the wattage of a common hair dryer will reach the only planet in our solar system unexplored by space probes. It has traveled more than 3 billion miles since its launch on Jan. 19, 2006.
It’s the epic journey of NASA’s New Horizons space probe and it forced me to think. A real, hard ‘think’ about my career and relationships.
Sometimes, in our mad rush to make the most of now- the current project, the quarterly report, the yearly increment, we forget the importance of little, day by day improvements that we can bring to our life. Sometimes, we really need to take a big step back and see where we were and where we are going in life. And yes, to realize that more often than not, it is the things we do on a daily basis that will get us where we want to be.
Think about it. Where were you, what were you doing 9 and half years ago? And where you will be on Jan. 14, 2025?
