My Impossible List
My Impossible List is based on a movement started by Joel Runyon over at Impossible HQ. I first read about it over at College Info Geek and really connected with the concept of it. Joel describes the list as a challenge. It’s not about settling for what’s possible in your life, but instead striving towards goals that you didn't think possible, and growing as you work towards and achieve them.
This will be a lifelong working document that I add to, change, tick off and elaborate on as I pursue my journey. Your Impossible List is meant to be a fluid document that changes as you do, and a record of what you’ve done and still wish to do. I’ve included a few of my fun/miscellaneous goals in here, not necessarily big challenges, but goals I want to complete nonetheless.

My Life Guidelines Thus Far
Don’t play small
Take a step out of your comfort zone every day
Age is never an excuse
Always ask questions
You need to be able to stand up for your beliefs
Being honest is hard but necessary
Don’t push the people you love away when life gets hard
Sometimes you have to make the hard decision, and deal with the consequences
If you make an impossible list I’d love to read it!
Best Wishes,
Kate
