I’ve been working on a bucket list of things that I’d like to do.\u00a0 It’s a crazy list, ranging from easy to impossible.\u00a0 But it seems worth putting it all down in writing somewhere, to refer to when I get a hankering to pursue a new goal.\u00a0 If you’re interested, take a look<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So many of the things on this list I would have written off as impossible a few years ago–for example, I can remember when I was 28, telling a friend that I’d never ski again<\/a>.\u00a0 Because I was already too old.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the gift of turning 40 is the realization that it’s now or never…and simply not letting impossible enter into the equation.<\/p>\n

From the “Impossible Manifesto<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Excitement comes from not quite knowing what\u2019s coming next. When you travel the road that everyone else paves for you, it\u2019s fairly easy to know what\u2019s next, because they tell you.<\/p>\n

When you pave your own, you have no idea. No one has ever done what you\u2019re about to do. You can have reference points from mentors but for the first time in your life, no one is telling you what\u2019s up ahead.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s bad news and good news:<\/p>\n

The bad news: Nobody can tell you what\u2019s next.
\nThe good news: Nobody can tell you what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

You get to decide.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
