The Impossible List
Growing up, I always hated writing goals. I have really bad time blindness so setting goals was really hard for me, especially because a lot of my goals seemed “impossible” to a kid who thought he was an idiot his entire life.
I’d keep them in my head and would always be surprised whenever I would actually accomplish one.
Most people aren’t comfortable sharing their goals in public. But I’m not ‘most people.’ Sharing your goals in public is an asymmetrical risk.
Nobody actually cares if you don’t accomplish all of them. The only competition in this world is YOU versus yourself.
I’m just now starting my life at the age of 26 after finally figuring out how my brain works.
But this time? I’m actually setting goals because I’ve realized the “impossible” is nothing but a scam that prevents people from actualizing their full potential.
You can just do things. GO DO THEM.
Short-Term Goals:
Land dream job
Friends who want to see each other win
1M views on social media
TEDx Talk
First million before 30
Long-Term Goals:
Retire my Mom
Love
Read 1,000 books
Hold a patent for a novel invention
Polymath
Meet my heroes
CEO at a trillion dollar company
Other Goals (there’s no way):
Float in water
Abs
4 minute mile
Ironman
Go to Space
These goals will evolve. Some I'll achieve. Some I'll fail at publicly. Some I'll replace with harder ones when I outgrow them. The point isn't the list—it's the person I become by pursuing impossible things.

Update Log
March 21, 2026: Removed “Forbes 30 Under 30” from short-term goals. I’d rather optimize for real impact and substance than awards that increasingly reward hype over execution.

The work is in progress. Check back as I start crushing these.
