A few days ago whilst on one of my many and vast explorations of the internet, I came upon an Idea. The idea was to create an impossible list. A list that when combined seems impossible to complete, but when broken down into sections, and then into individual goals... becomes, well, possible. At first it just seemed like another fad of the internet, in one of my eyes and right out the other. It wasnt until later that I found myself thinking.. You know, maybe having all of your goals laid out in front of you could be...motivating.
So I started. I found the page that I had previously skimmed over so thoughlessly and took tips, began creating my list. Right now, it looks like this.
Meghans Impossible list

So there it is. I, a simple 17 year old girl from Canada, have finally given myself a reason to stop saying no. Every oppurtunity could lead to the completion of one of these goals, to one more strike off, and I hope it does. Because a bucket list isnt something you should have when the end is getting closer. A bucket list is something you should work on your whole life.
Everytime something gets crossed of this list, or added, Ill write about it. Ill give a date, a story, and hopefully a reason for someone else to start working on their own goals.!
