Impossible
Things

Define "impossible" for yourself — and start moving toward it.

Most people don't fail at life.
They settle.

They accept the story they were handed. They mistake realism for limitation. They forget that meaning is something you create — not something you find.

Do Impossible Things is an invitation to stop drifting and start choosing. To stop asking what life will bring and start asking what you will build.

This is not about hustle, hype, or comparison. It's not reserved for a chosen few. It is available to anyone willing to stop settling and start participating.

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

Often attributed to Mark Twain

Not reckless.
Not extreme.
Just yours.

🧭

Refuse Autopilot

Most of the limits you live with were inherited, not chosen. Many of them can be challenged, stretched, or rewritten.

🌱

Question Inherited Limits

Growth, grace, and strength often meet us when we step forward — not when we have it all figured out.

✏️

Design Your Life

Life is designed, not default. You are either building the story or letting it be written for you.

🚶

Move with Intention

The point isn't certainty. The point is movement. You don't need a perfect plan — just a direction.

Your impossible thing might be

  • Getting healthy when you never thought you could
  • Quitting something that's slowly destroying you
  • Traveling the world on your own terms
  • Building something meaningful from scratch
  • Becoming the calmest person in the room
  • Pursuing a goal so big it may never fully happen

I didn't always
believe this.

"There was a time when health felt unreachable. Clarity felt impossible. A bigger life felt unrealistic."

Step by step, those impossibles became reality. Not because I was special — but because I stopped assuming I was done.

This site exists to remind you that you're not done either. The story isn't over. The next chapter isn't written yet.

What would you pursue if you stopped assuming it was unrealistic?

"Defeat isn't when you fall. It's when hope no longer tells you to rise."

— Simon M. Fisher

What does it actually mean
to do impossible things?

It doesn't mean doing what no human has ever done. It means doing what you had convinced yourself was no longer available to you. The thing you've quietly stopped believing in. The version of your life you've stopped letting yourself picture.

Impossible is personal. And it changes.

01

Choosing a story you wrote — not one you inherited.

Most of us are living someone else's definition of what's realistic. Doing impossible things means returning authorship to yourself — deciding that your ceiling was never actually fixed.

02

Becoming someone your past self wouldn't recognize.

The goal isn't just to check off achievements. It's to become the kind of person those achievements require. The gap between who you are today and who you'll need to become — that gap is the work.

03

Doing the thing before you're ready.

Readiness is a story we tell ourselves to stay safe. Most impossible things begin before the courage arrives — not after. The first lap. The first step. You go, and the confidence follows.

04

Letting something break you — and staying anyway.

The mountains worth climbing have weather. Transformation isn't comfortable and growth isn't linear. Doing impossible things means being willing to be broken open by the process — and trusting what comes out the other side.

05

Receiving help you didn't earn.

No one does impossible things alone. Every story of genuine transformation involves grace — unexpected kindness, someone showing up at the right moment, something given that couldn't have been manufactured. You do your part. But you are not the only force at work.

06

Refusing to make peace with "this is just how I am."

That sentence is the end of every impossible thing. The people who do extraordinary work are not made of different material — they simply refused, one more time, to accept that sentence as final.

We've stopped
participating.

The world hasn't lost its beauty. We've just stopped showing up for it. We scroll instead of travel. We watch instead of create. We wait instead of begin.

Watch the news

You'll see how bad the world is.

Go experience it

You'll see how extraordinary it still is.

Do Impossible Things is about choosing curiosity over fear, engagement over resignation, and meaning over mere existence.

"No matter what you have been through — God doesn't disqualify broken people. He uses them."

— Simon M. Fisher

I don't believe human beings do their best work alone. The courage to change, the strength to begin again, and the hope to pursue something bigger than ourselves — these don't come from willpower alone.

Some things are given. Some strength is received.

I'm grateful for that.

These are
mine. What
are yours?

I share these not to impress, but to be honest. Because if you're going to ask someone else to dream bigger, you'd better be willing to do it yourself — publicly, imperfectly, with no guarantee of success.

Some of these are in progress. Some haven't started. All of them once felt out of reach.

Go to Space

The overview effect is real. I want to see the Earth from outside it.

Hike to Everest Base Camp

Not the summit — the base. The walk that proves the altitude isn't just metaphor.

Visit All 7 Continents

Every continent is a different conversation about what being human means.

Run a Race on Every Continent

A race is a way of belonging somewhere. I want to belong everywhere.

Write a Book Worth Reading

Not a bestseller necessarily. A book that makes one person feel less alone.

Swim in Every Ocean

The Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, the Southern, the Arctic. All five.

Watch the Sunrise from a New Country Every Year

A discipline of presence. A commitment to showing up for the world.

The list keeps growing. That's the point. The moment you stop adding to it is the moment you stop believing.

I'm just
Simon.

I grew up in a good family. Great parents. A sister. Everything I needed — and still, something never quite fit. What followed was a story of weight loss, depression, self-discovery, and the kind of growth that only comes from being broken first.
