“Every man dies- not every man really lives” – William Ross
Statistics say that 95% of people procrastinate on their goals. Be different.
In my spare time, I created a bucket list about the things I want to achieve before I die. Having a bucket list reminds you of what you really desire so eventually you can act on them. Even if you often live by goals or to-do lists, they are probably framed within a certain social context for example, performance, career, health, etc. A bucket list opens up the options. It’s completely normal to set anything and everything you have ever wanted to do whether it’s big, small or random. Now you can skim through the few 6 things I’ve ever wished to do!
1. Travel All Around The World
Traveling is the best for open-minded people. It exposes you to new cultures, broaden your mind, move out of your comfort zone, allow you to meet new people, and experience the different wonders of the world.
2. Learn To Play A Different Instrument
For a long time, I’ve been striving to learn the acoustic guitar. In fact, I have accomplished to learn the chorus of a few songs! Learning to play a new instrument not only teaches you discipline but also makes you smarter!
3. Learn A New Language
This is a task that I have been quite successful and satisfied at! Personally, I fluently know five different languages while still improving on french. Learning another language enhance one’s skills but you also start to understand its culture. Not to mention, this opens a wide door to a successful career!
4. Build a Habitat for Humanity Home
Habitat for Humanity build a simple house in order to address the issue of poverty all over the world. This brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Homes are built using volunteer labor. You can choose to donate your time or money. This type of devotion requires strong passion to help those in need.
5. Visit Hobbiton
Hey all you Lord of the Ring fans! Have you ever wanted to visit the Shire? Its location is actually in a farm in Matamata, New Zealand. Since filming the movies, this little farm has turned into a spectacular permanent attraction with 44 Hobbit holes. Tours are available and the knowledgeable guides share details of how the set was created.
6. Skydive
Yup. This is the most frighting one yet! I suggest only those who aren’t afraid of heights participate in this activity. However, I have made a full commitment to skydive when I have the chance to.
Quick Fact: Skydiving is actually considered a sport!
