Sacrifice

Yesterday I got invited to do something impossible: canoe across Canada.

  • 7000 Kilometres.

  • 5 months.

  • 4 people.

  • 2 canoes.

  • Filming a documentary.

How epic would that actually be?! Can you imagine how hard I would have to push myself? The feeling of completing something that far out of my comfort zone would be amazing.

I almost said yes. I mean, come on. Canoeing across Canada would be epic, and definitely give me some street cred. The FOMO is real.

But you know what the real fear of missing out is?

The fear of missing out on the goals I have already set for myself.

I would have to put my own impossible goals on the back burner.

And I committed to my goals no matter what.

✅ Climb Kilimanjaro

✅ Meditate daily for 365 days

✅ Become my own boss

➡️ 100 push ups (50 currently)

➡️ 100k on YouTube (500 currently)

➡️ TED talk

➡️ Run a tropical retreat

➡️ Blog for 730 days in a row

➡️ Do a breakdancing Windmill (I can do half)

➡️ Build a million dollar business

➡️ Start a video interview series

So while the canoeing team meet today to plan their adventure, I took tiny action towards my impossible list.

Because my goals are non-negotiable.
