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 fucking 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 fucking 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

• Forbes 30 under 30

• 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.
