Christoph Rehage set up a pretty intense goal for himself: He wanted to walk from Beijing to Germany.
For over a year, Rehage had planned this momentous walk; he needed to say goodbye to his family, make sure his affairs were in order, and psych himself up for this epic stunt!
Some people would rather not walk such insane distances — like the man who had to walk 70 miles every single day to get to work. Just about everyone I know would prefer to get in an airplane, drive a car, or, at the very least, ride a bike that looks like a car if they've got a ways to go!
Not Rehage, however. This man had a dream for the ages! And he was going to complete it no matter what!
To properly document his experiment, he decided to take a selfie once a day every day. At the start, he's a smiling, closely shaved, normal-looking guy, but by the end of the video he has completely transformed into a totally different man. Just how far did he end up walking, though? The ending number is jaw-dropping!
Even if you can't walk this great a distance, it's an incredible video that should inspire you to go out into the world and do something that makes you happy! Watch his stunning transformation, and look for any of the funny hidden gems that he hides behind him throughout the whole thing! I especially love what happened at 2:43!
Set a goal for yourself. Even if you don't "complete" that goal, it's the trying that really matters!
