Hello Niki... good thread...
The best "reason" that I could give you is the fact that we only have one life to live... once it's over... it's finished... kaput... so, if you miss out on anything on this one trip on planet earth... you won't get a second chance...
Donald Trump says that he wants his life to be a statement... a short but very powerful message...
If "you" want your life to be a statement too... and you are serious about it... you will have all the reason and the motivation to accomplish the things that you want...
Best of luck to you...
