Become invincible

It has been one year since I publicly stated my goal of invincibility. I am sad to say I am no closer to invincibility according to my own definition as I was one year ago.

However, I have taken one step towards invincibility to illness. I received a flu shot last month. The administers of that shot assured me that this will positively affect my imperviousness to certain types of illness.

Reading through the previous posts on this goal have enlightened me to the several types of invincibility mentioned here:

• Physical Invincibility
• Emotional / Intellectual Invincibility
• Social Invincibility (this may be the same as Emotional. At the very least the two have strong ties)
• Spiritual Invincibility

The former three categories of invincibility are very noble goals, and I can see great benefits for self improvement and confidence. Unfortunately they lack measurable qualifications for success, making outcomes quite subjective at best.

I have been able to think of many ways of providing measurable improvements to two of the three categories I’ve defined in my previous posts; resiliency and regeneration. However I have not been able to come up with a safe measure that will leave me unharmed or uninjured in the event I am not making progress in these areas. If anyone has any ideas I would be very interested.

Good luck all you fellow seekers of invincibility! I hope to have more to report as the days go on.

During a conversation with a friend of mine last night, I have decided that one of the first positive steps towards my new goal of invincibility is to define my goal much more clearly. It hadn’t occurred to me that this goal would be ambiguous in any way. However, after being presented with several topics of possible unintended consequences of invincibility, I have decided the following properties must apply:

• Immunity – I must be immune to all disease.
• Resiliency – I must be impenetrable to blunt force trauma, laceration, or any weapon. This must include being impervious to guns, knives, falling down, getting crushed, or any weapons either currently existing or that will be invented in the future.
• Regeneration – In the case that I may be physically damaged in any way, I must maintain a regenerative ability to heal and/or restore myself back to my original state. A side benefit of this will be the absence of aging. According to the property of Resiliency I should never lose a limb, but in the event of such a loss, I should be able to grow the limb back.

The defining properties of invincibility is still something I am working on, so I have not considered this a complete list by any means. It is just a start on what is turning out to be a long journey towards invincibility.

Frankly, I’m surprised that there are 2 other people who aspire to this goal. One could say that the first step to becoming invincible is to identify it as a goal. I have accomplished this first step, and am ready to move on to the second step on this unseen road. I must now discover the next crucial milestone on the road to invincibility. What is that second step?
