I used to keep a list of all the things I wanted to do and check them off as I did them. It worked. Sort of. But then I realized that I want more.

I have goals. They’re good goals. But they’re big.

Maybe impossible.

So this is my list of impossible things. It’s the stuff that I always wanted to accomplish “someday,” but never gave myself enough credit to try. It’s the stuff that’s so important to me that to fail is scarier than never trying at all.

But screw that. I’m trying. I want to do something meaningful and good, not just show up every day.

This is a living list, and I’ll be adding to it, crossing things off, and blogging about it.

Original inspiration for the impossible list is Joel Runyon’s Impossible List. Check his out, read the Impossible Manifesto, check my list out (below), make your own, and let me know how it’s going!
