The Impossible List

Ever since I watched the movie The Bucket List starring two outstanding actors, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, the concept has taken hold deeply in my heart. As a 19-year-old, the movie taught me that life was frightfully finite.

But the bucket list idea is sometimes limiting. By embarking on an endless quest, I want to challenge myself every day in different aspects of my life. In this way, I can try to become a better version of myself and look back and see how far I have come. This is not a way of bragging. It is a means to keep my fire alive, for as long as I am alive and always remain a work in progress.

​I got this idea from the impossible list of Thomas Frank who got the idea from Joel Runyon. If this list inspires you then take this idea forward, make your own impossible list, and spread the word.
