Give yourself an impossible task
and see how far you get.
You might succeed
because you never truly know
what you’re capable of
until you try
and sometimes
not even afterwards.

So take a chance.
Pick a goal.
Generate a ridiculous bucket list
and select from it.

Decide
to learn seven new languages a day
or conspire with your fish
to take over a government
– not the US, though
(that would be ridiculous).
Start a new religion
or train a preacher
from memory.
Maybe you can grow
nine inches
this week.
There are lots of opportunities
to create
the incredulable.

Find a way
to improve yourself
and then take it a little too far.
What’s the worst thing that could happen:
You succeed?
