What would you like to do before you die ?

Bucket list

Hi there, today I want to talk to you about a very special list, a list that you might have heard of but if you have not then stay with me! Firstly, I’ll explain to you what a bucket list is all about and later I’ll tell you why it’s so important to make your own list!

So, by definition a bucket list is a list of things to do before you die.

However, recently it has attained a stronger meaning. It’s not only a simple list of things to do but it’s a long process of designing your dreams and making them a reality.  I believe that we all have dreams, nevertheless not all of us are determined enough to carry on pursuing our dreams when we’ve failed to achieve them the first time. The typical human behaviour is to give up on their goals the second they’ve tried and didn’t make it. It is vital to remember that sometimes the experience we gain during the hard times and struggles we face while getting closer to achieving our destination is more important that the goal or the dream itself.

Throughout all the process of getting what you want, what is the most adventurous and enriching of all? The fact that you finally got what you’ve always dreamed of or the whole journey that led you to achieve it? Think about all people that you met, the new things you experienced and the all the new knowledge you gained. Whenever you’re exposing yourself to something new… don’t be scared and give it a shot! It may just be one of the best chapters in your life!

A very wise man, Paul Arden once said :

‘It's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't.’

By the way you should definitely know where that expression comes from; well it derives from the term "kicked the bucket" which means to die.  Let me give you an example, so that you can remember it better :

“Didn't you hear? He kicked the bucket - had a heart attack, I think.”

Okay, I wouldn’t like to make this blog too long so let me tell you :

Why it’s important to make your own bucket list:

1)      It will keep your imagination going – the more you visualise your dreams the more they will become reality! J

2)      Just by writing down your dreams you’re keeping your life goals alive!

3)      You’re pushing yourself harder and harder in order to complete your bucket list as you feel positively motivated to tick each item of your list!

4)      This empty space is for you, you can put your own reason ;) ……………………………………….

And remember, DON’T EVER LET ANYONE tell you that you can’t do something neither ever give up on your dreams!!! You’re the one who is creating your own life, make the most of it, make it beautiful! J
