Log #9: Create And Update Your Bucket List Every Year

Everyone needs a bucket list. A bucket list is a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime. In other words, things you want to do before you die. It can be a small thing like cooking a meal to traveling somewhere in the world.

I have a personal bucket list. I started it three years ago and accomplished many things I wanted to do. Whenever I discover a new thing I want to experience, I write them down on a piece of paper. When next year comes I create an updated list. Things I haven't done, I keep them on the list. Then I add new things to the list. It's like starting a new adventure all over again.

That's the reason why years ago, I was a huge fan of the MTV show The Buried Life. These men went out of their way to truly fulfill their dreams and did the majority of the things they wanted to do before they die. I'm sure they're still going on their journey. Maybe even updating their lists just like me.

It's so much better than just waking up in the morning, wondering "What am I going to do today?"

Even if you're working, it's wonderful to have a hobby or plan and go with it. Think about it? Would you rather wake up in the morning confused because you don't know what to do, or would rather wake up in the morning with a task or hobby waiting for you because it's on your list?

What do you want to do for the rest of your life? Fill up that bucket list?
