How to
create a bucket list
The what and why and how,
these three questions should always be asked before you decide to do anything,
and now we dive into our subject
What
is a Bucket List:
A
lot of people recognize this term as it has become a popular trend over the
years and especially among the young generation for his coming years, or the
eldest generation to not have any regrets concerning their lives
And
you should also have one but first, what is it
it
is a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill and
life experiences and adventures you desire to experience before you die or any
past actions you want to do or undo
in its shortest definition
it’s
to do what you have always stopped yourself from doing for any kind of reasons.
Why
should one create a Bucket List:
Ever
felt that your days are passing you by without any tangible output to speak of?
What
did you accomplish in the past 3 months? What are your upcoming goals for the tomorrow?
Next week? Next 3 months?
Look at the things you did and the things
you’re planning to do next Do they mean anything to you if you are to die
today?
Having
a bucket list reminds you of what’s really important so you can act on them.
Even
if you frequently live by goals or to-do lists, they are probably framed within
a certain social context e.g. performance, career, health, academic excellence.
A bucket list opens up the context. It’s a
forum to set anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to do, whether it’s
big, small or random or undoable.
And
here are six reasons that do it justice other than the main ones we gave above
why you should have a bucket list:
. A bucket
list gives you a purpose in life. It's something you know you want to do. It
gives you goals to reach for, something to get out of life.
. It gives
you something to focus on. How many times have you drawn a blank on what you
want to do with your free time? Now you know. Got some time off coming up or a
free weekend? Why not check something off your bucket list? The list gives you
something to work towards.
. It's
important to set goals for yourself, and a bucket list does just that. You
don't have to give it a time period either. The list goes on for the rest of
your life, there's no rush. Most of us fall through with our New Year's
resolution, I know I hardly ever stick to mine. I do better with long term
goals, something that I know I want to do, but don't feel like I'm forced to
do.
. Life is
all about making memories. Your bucket list certainly will give you plenty of
them. They will be memories you will hold onto forever, and give you great
stories to tell other people. It'll be nice to look back on the things you've
accomplished, something to make you feel proud of yourself.
. With
exploring comes learning which is always a good thing. Learn a new language,
learn a new culture, learn about anything. Put yourself out there. Discover,
explore, learn.
. The
last reason to make a bucket list is that it's never ending. You can always
come up with new ideas, always try new things. It's not a list that's meant to
be completed.
I highly recommend creating
your own bucket list. I believe that it's definitely worth it. Set goals for
yourself, get out there and discover something new. Make the most of your life.
If
that doesn’t push you to make a bucket list, I don’t know what will.
How
to Create Your Own Bucket List:
If
you don’t have a bucket list, I highly recommend you to create one.
How much will it cost? Zero. How long will it
take? Probably 30 minutes to an hour, or more if you get really caught up
in the writing.
What
do you stand to gain? Significant clarity and focus on what you want from your
life. It’s an invaluable exchange.
Now,
take out your pen and paper or open up a text document.
Start
writing down what comes to mind as you read these questions:
·
What if you
were to die tomorrow? What would you wish you could do before you die?
·
What would you
do if you had unlimited time, money and resources?
·
What have you
always wanted to do but have not done yet?
·
Any countries,
places or locations you want to visit?
·
What are your
biggest goals and dreams?
·
What do you

Just write things that have been in your
mind since you were a child, or things that have been in your heart and you
couldn’t bring them to the open
maybe you saw something and wanted it but couldn’t have it at the moment, Save
for it!
Just be honest with yourself when writing
it and think about yourself only but if you have a partner double the fun!
