How to create your own bucket list?


Every one has a list of things they want to do before they die.  Whether it is written down or not, there is something  in this world that you would like to do, but have yet to experience/accomplish.  Writing out a “bucket list” is the first step you can make towards accomplishing some of these goals.  However, this can be a harder list to write than you might expect.  You must have always seen in movies, where the hero throws a dart on the world map, and they start back packing to that country. You see that, and that becomes one of the things you want to do before you die. Here are a few steps that would help you to create your own bucket list.

1) Don’t try to write it all at once. This isn’t an easy list to write.  You may get to 20 or 30 things, and start drawing a blank.  Don’t get discouraged, just take some time off before you come back to it.  This is an evolving process.  It may take you weeks or months to actually finish a complete list. 

2) Think outside the box. Some of the most interesting things on your list are going to end up being some of the most random.  The ones that set you apart from everyone else. 

3) Read other people’s lists. Maybe you have hit a road block and you need some ideas, check out what other people are wanting to do.  You may not add their specific goals to your list, but I bet you will at least get some ideas.

4) Set goals. Without goals the list doesn’t work.  If you don’t set a timeline or don’t start taking action, you never will.  So create a goal of accomplishing 5 things a year which really depends on your list.

5) Have fun! The whole idea of this is to start making steps to do the things you want to do with your life.  So don’t stress about it, this is all about you and your life. 

So guys, go ahead , make your own bucket list and have fun!
