You know what? I assumed everyone got this, until a recent revelation. So here’s my definition of an impossible goal. An impossible goal isn’t something no one has ever done before.

An impossible goal is something you’ve never done before.

Big difference. Maybe you’ve never walked a 5k before. Maybe that’s your impossible goal.
