The Impossible List is an ever-evolving list of experiences that build upon each other and inspire you to take action in life.
I got the idea from Thomas Frank, who got his idea from Joel Runyon, who created the world’s first impossible list and defined the difference between it & a regular bucket list.
This is my impossible list, which is, of course, ever-evolving.
