What’s on your bucket list?
It’s not a new idea but Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are creating a new buzz about life goals in their recently released movie The Bucket List.
Time is pretty short
No matter how long you might live, time is really pretty short so creating a list of life goals is one way to maximize your life experiences. This strategy has been around for a long time - probably one of first people to draw attention to it was John Goddard who created a list of 127 life accomplishments when he was 15 years old. Now in his 70’s, Goddard has, at last count, checked off 109 of his challenging goals.
Find the joy
In The Bucket List, faced with terminal cancer, Freeman and Nicholson’s characters embark on their own joint list of things to do before they die. It’s a great call to action to find the joy in your life while you still have time.
What are the things that you long to do?
Skills you hope to learn?
Places you wish to visit?
Things you want to try?
Books you’d love to read?
Relationships you need to build or mend?
Some people hang on to the idea that they’ll have a long life - that there’s lots of time to do want you want to do. Sometimes life has other plans.
Some people think they can’t do what it is they really want - too many barriers, the biggest one of which is their own limiting beliefs.
Go watch the movie - and then begin jotting down those things you don’t want to miss in this life time.
