The Impossible List

I used to be negative and I believed I couldn’t do things. Now I’m cured of that crippling illness and I can do anything. I used to settle for what’s possible, feasible, or “realistic.” Boring. Now I chase the challenging, the insane, and the impossible.

This is my list of impossible things. It’s a bucket list on steroids. Actually, it’s not really a bucket list at all. Bucket lists are dumb lists of “things to do before you die.” An impossible list is constantly changing and evolving and every time you check something off your impossible list, you should add even more. Bucket lists seem far away; impossible lists are now.

I’ll be crossing things off my list as I make them happen and I’ll talk constantly about it all on my blog. If you’re ready to take the leap, make your own impossible list. I made a simple Google Doc template you can copy for free here.

Let’s get started.
