I CHOOSE ME: The Courage to Set Impossible Goals

There comes a moment in life when you realize that no one is coming to hand you the life you dream of. No one is going to fight for you the way you can. No one will believe in you unless you first believe in yourself.

And in that moment, you make a choice: I CHOOSE ME.

Not because it’s easy. Not because the path is clear. But because you refuse to live a life dictated by limitations, self-doubt, or the expectations of others.

And within this choice comes a challenge: set goals beyond your reach to begin with, so you always have something to live for.

Why Do We Fear the Impossible?

From the time we are young, we are conditioned to play it safe.

• “Be realistic.”
• “Don’t aim too high.”
• “What if you fail?”

But what if the real risk isn’t failure—what if the real risk is never trying?

The biggest tragedy in life isn’t falling short of an impossible goal. It’s waking up one day realizing you never even reached for it. That you settled for what was safe, what was expected, what was within reach—when your soul was meant for something far greater.

The Power of an Impossible Goal

When you set a goal that seems just out of reach—one that makes your heart race and your hands tremble—you unlock a new version of yourself.

Because the goal itself isn’t the point.

The point is who you become in pursuit of it.

• A dream just beyond your grasp forces you to grow.
• A vision too big for today pushes you to expand.
• A challenge that scares you into action makes you unstoppable.

The purpose of setting an impossible goal is not to guarantee success—it’s to guarantee evolution.

How to Chase the Unreachable

1. Declare It Loudly

Stop keeping your dreams a secret. Own them. Speak them into existence. “One day” is not a strategy. Decide that today is the beginning.

2. Detach from the Outcome

It’s not about whether you reach the goal—it’s about what the pursuit teaches you. Even if you don’t reach the mountaintop you imagined, you will have climbed higher than you ever thought possible.

3. Take One Step, Every Day

You don’t need to build Rome overnight. But you need to lay a brick today. One small action, repeated consistently, is what turns the impossible into reality.

4. Expect Resistance

Fear will show up. Doubt will whisper in your ear. People will question your ambition. Good. Let it fuel you. The road to greatness is paved with obstacles—embrace them as part of the journey.

5. Choose Yourself, Over and Over Again

Every day, you will have to recommit to yourself. When no one believes in you. When progress feels slow. When the goal still feels far away. Choose yourself anyway.

Because What’s the Alternative?

Think about it. What’s the alternative to setting bold, impossible goals??

A life of mediocrity? A life of regret? A life spent wondering what if?

You deserve more than that. You owe yourself more than that.

You are here to dream recklessly, chase fearlessly, and live fully.

So stop waiting. Stop shrinking. Stop settling.

Set the impossible goal.

Then become the person who makes it possible.

I CHOOSE ME.

And so should you.
