What is an impossible list?

Put simply, the impossible list is an ever-evolving list of experiences that build upon each other, help others as well as yourself, and implore you to take action.

 

Think about what your true life goals are, and constantly evaluate your progress towards them. In other words, be mindful of your path.

 
 

My List:

  • Sub 20 minute 5k (17:07) (October 2017) - I played soccer each fall season until my senior year; I was able to not only beat my time every race but one, but was the second best on the team, and was one position away from making states; I also got a handful of college cross country offers. For the most part it was a fun time and it was an incredible summer full of miles upon miles of training which unfortunately ultimately led to my demise about a week in to indoor track.

 

  • Tip $100 at a restaurant (August 2018) - It was on heck of a Sunday night to say the least. I got off of work early, 6:30 and still wanted to eat dinner, and by chance my girlfriend was also free and so I offered to bring her out to dinner. We had a lovely meal and I did tip $100, however on the highway home, I got rear-ended at about 60 miles per hour and although nobody got hurt, my car was totaled which was very unfortunate.

 

 

  • Buy a Rolex - Personal goal to own a Rolex Submariner Date in green.
