imagine for a minute what your perfect life would be like.........
During this perfect life what did you do? Get married to a beautiful person, have a great family, go traveling, have a good job? That's all great but did you really live your life to live or did you live your life to get by? When I think about my 'perfect' life I think about all of the crossroads that I am WANTING to come too because it's going to be a craps shot at which one I take. That to me is what will create my picturesque life. Because it's hard to admit that you're okay with failing and learning the hard way; but that is how you discover who are as a person. You learn your limits, and then SOME..
Now looking back at this list of so called "impossible" things, they will absolutely be terrifying as time goes on, OR I can look forward to accomplishing these goals that I have challenged myself to do. I already know that I am going to want to throw up as I'm standing there holding onto the frame of an airplane that I thousands of feet in the air looking out the plane. But i also know that as soon as I pray to God to keep me safe and I take that step out of that plane all of that anxiety and 'fear' is going to turn into pure adrenaline and I'm going to be so stoked that I'm going to want to do it again, and again..
WHY? Why would anyone get a high out of jumping out of an air plane, or want to compete in a SPARTAN DEATH RACE, or want to learn multiple languages, or want to write a book? The purest reason I can give you is.. WHY THE HELL NOT? What do you have to lose? Pretty much nothing (ok, maybe a little more with skydiving but ehh). I know that when I grow old and I have grandchildren and they ask what I have done with my life or what the craziest thing that I have ever done was I know what I already want to say... "We're going to need a few cookies and a glass of milk because I can't pick just one to talk about".. That to me is why a list of 'Impossible' things is worth making.. To make myself a better person, to say that I lived my life to the fullest, but most importantly;to inspire and have stories to talk about and share.. Later guys
