I saw that on your Facebook before I saw it here, so already had thoughts on it.

1) I can see how it's less scary to think about, as a goal.

2) Picturing it in my head, I can't imagine myself using this and actually feeling motivated to work really hard because of this goal. But that may be less because it's impossible, and more because it's big and vague–my brain has an established problem with big vague goals.
