Friends, I don’t often do this, but a loyal reader shared with me a post she did on her own blog, and I really thought it would be interesting to share it with all of you. I found it to be very relevant and on-topic, so please have a look at it!

I wanted to share some interesting facts I came upon today. This demonstrates just how powerful we are as humans!

List of Interesting Facts
Your brain has the potential to remember everything you have ever experienced, read, heard, or seen. This doesn’t mean you can recall it all, but it is all in there somewhere.
Your body is constantly replacing cells so frequently that you have a completely different body than you did seven years ago.
The amount of information your brain can hold is believed to be around 1,000 terabytes. The average computer has only 1/3 of one terabyte of storage. 1,000 gigabytes is equal to one terabyte. The IBM super computer Watson, which successfully competed against contestants on the TV game show Jeopardy! has only 16 Terabytes of RAM, by comparison.
Everyone in your dreams you have seen while awake at some point in your life, even if only in passing, whether you knew it or not.
To exercise your legs to equal the amount of exercise your eyes get in a day, you would need to walk 50 miles per day.
In the next 4 years, you will shed your entire body weight in dead skin, which will most likely present itself as dust.
Pound for pound, you were stronger than an ox when you were a baby.
25,000,000 cells of your body died while you read this sentence (but you made 300 billion more today to make up for that).
You were a single cell organism or 30 minutes.
With all of these facts, you can now understand why I constantly say that ANYTHING we want to do or become is possible. You have the potential to succeed, grow, and develop skills and traits that are beyond the average. I hope this list of interesting facts will help you become more motivated to succeed in life.
