What is a bucket list? A 'bucket list' is a list of all the things you would like to achieve or experience before you die. A bucket list is really a list of your lifetime goals.A list of your lifetime goals helps you to not only determine your unique wants and dreams, but it also helps you to define your overall life purpose.
Clearly knowing what you want is the key in the ignition of achievement. It starts the engine of success and accomplishment and creates momentum. Once you know exactly what you want to do and accomplish in life you need to create some small daily rituals that translate in action.
Creating a bucket list should be a fun and motivating project. Here are some tips that will help you to create your own bucket list.
Get out a notebook and a pen, or open up a new document in your word processor. Begin by writing down your answers to the following questions. Write down the first thing that pops into your mind.
If I knew I was going to die tomorrow what one thing would I do before I died?
What have I always wanted to do but have not done yet?
If I didn't have to worry about time money what things would I be doing?
What countries, places or locations do I want to visit?
What are my biggest goals and aspirations?
What people would I like to meet?
What do I want to achievement?
What experiences do I want to have / feel?
What special moments you would I want to witness?
What would I like to say or do with those people important to me. People I love, my family, my friends?
What do I want to achieve in these different areas: Social, Love, Family, Career, Finance, Health Spiritual?
What things can I do that would bring my life the greatest meaning and personal satisfaction?
Write down as many things that come to your mind. Personal development teacher and author Jim Rohn suggest coming up with 100 things on your list. If you cant think of 100 things right away dont worry. You can add things to your list at a later date as they come to you.
Once you have made your list the next thing you need to do is to pick ten things that currently inspire you most and attach a deadline to them, and write down what you need to make it happen. If for example one of your goals is to go on a sailing excursion in Hawaii, you might need to start saving up some money for the trip and also start investigating sail boat charters, airfare, and hotel accommodations.
Once you have completed an item on your list cross it off and celebrate! Read your list often to see the things that you have accomplished and to get excited about what is to come. Add and subtract things to your list as you seem appropriate.
