Impossible List
Better than a Bucket List.
This is my Impossible List. I got the idea from Joel Runyon who created the world’s first Impossible List and defined the difference between it and a regular ‘ole bucket 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. I also followed the examples of Steve Kamb and Thomas Frank. This is mine, which is always changing.
