What In The World Is An Impossible List?

Someone once said, "Without a goal, you can't score." I'm more of a list girl myself, but the message still reigns true. I have a list for just about everything and not too long ago I had a relatively short bucket list tucked away in my memory that contained the 6 biggest things I wanted to accomplish in life.

 

The list was static, boring, unchallenging, safe, and very realistic. This list didn't inspire me to change up my routine, try new things, push myself outside of my comfort zone or take any action now. Looking back, I am disheartened that I limited my potential to 6 things. 

 

While creating my website, I came across the first-ever Impossible List created by Joel Runyon. An Impossible List is an ever-evolving list of experiences and goals that are created to inspire yourself and others to push the limits of what you think is possible in your life and a reminder to celebrate the things you will inevitably accomplish to get there.

 

By removing the limits we often place on ourselves, we allow ourselves to dream bigger than we ever thought we could and recognize that we can accomplish anything we set our mind to. 

 

Often, I tend to forget to look back at the things I have done throughout my life (I know I'm not alone) but creating my Impossible List has helped me remember my many accomplishments and the various stories that go along with them.

 

Below I have documented my Impossible List to be used as an inspiration to myself and others to not limit your dreams and as a reminder to celebrate yourself after every accomplishment, even the small ones. My list is a combination of short and long-term focuses that I hope to achieve and eventually level up (queue Ciara's song Level Up).

 

This list is long...like really long, so many things on this list may not happen soon; however, I will continue to update the list as I accomplish things and add to it as I receive inspiration. I may even start a blog about my adventures 😉.

​

Feel free to follow me on my journey and/or start your own Impossible List.  For more Impossible List inspirations check out other lists I have seen created by Joel Runyon, Jase Rodley, Thomas Frank, or Colleen Mitchell.

 

Also, feel free to let me know if you create one of your own. I'd love to see it!

Happy Dreaming!
