The Bucket List

You should have a bucket list. You need to have a bucket list. Everyone, no matter what their age is or where they are in life, should have a bucket list. I don't care if you are 5, 55, or 95, start and maintain a bucket list. NOW!

Find a piece of paper. Buy a journal or notebook. Use the last page in your planner. Start your bucket list by dedicating a place for it.

What do you want to do before you die? Eww, that sounds a bit grim. What do you want to do during your life so that you die feeling accomplished? What experiences do you want to have? What knowledge do you want? What do you want to see, feel, eat, or learn? Write it down. No matter how small the chances are that you will achieve your goal, write it down. 

Knock some items off the list. Make plans, break plans, do it spontaneously, do it with friends, family, co-workers. Start heading towards your goal.

It feels oh so good to check an item off of a to-do list. Multiply that by about a million, and you get the feeling of checking off an item from your bucket list. Rejoice that you have accomplished one of your goals. Enjoy the moment, revel in it as you continue down the path of life.

Note: It is my opinion that everyone should have skydiving on their bucket list. Do it! NOW!
