Dreams Made Possible by Jayda Simmons

Impossible List

Some may say this sounds dramatic or unsettling but at times I think about my last moment here on Earth. I wonder what I'm doing, where I'm at in life. I even wonder what my thoughts will be.

Although I can't predict any of those things I do know I would hate to be in a state full of regret. That's why I find it so important to live an intentional and purposeful life. I want to be fulfilled with my accomplishments, The ones I got up time and time again and fought for. And my moments of failure, I want to smile at the thought of me trying.

I can't Predict the future but I can be present and live the life that future me would look back on and smile.

This unsettling picture in my head is my why. Why I chase my dreams and don't wait for them. Why I fight through the fear. And why I view life as nothing but an opportunity to embrace the impossible.

So with that being said here is my list of the impossible things that I want to make possible.
