Impossible List

This is my adaptation of Joel Runyon’s Impossible List. The concept behind it is awesome, rather than the static bucket list the impossible list grows with you. I like to do things differently and make every moment in my life an experience, this falls right in line with the impossible list. If you’re interested in reading more about the mentality behind the impossible list check out Joel’s site. My thoughts on life have very much been shaped by people doubting my dreams and aspirations, often getting the sly “good luck on that one, kid.” I also want to be able to tell some sweet stories. I want to be “that” guy, always with a killer story.Let me know your thoughts! This will constantly be evolving so let me know anything you think I should add! I’ll be doing corresponding blog posts when I complete each item so signup for my mailing list and follow me on social networks!
