Having
a bucket list is something that a lot of people are able to claim but the
number of people who actually aim to complete the tasks that have been noted
down in this list is sadly significantly lower than the original number of
owners. A bucket list is simply a list of
things that an individual aims to do before they kick the proverbial bucket and
thus can be seen as a means of adding a sense of meaning and completion in an
individual’s life. The main mistake that is made by many individuals who bother to take the time to make
a bucket list is the level of reality they apply to the creation of the list.
Most bucket lists consist of items that in reality are really quite
unachievable by the particular person in question and is usually made up of
wishful thinking.
However,
if one actually takes the time to sit down and think reasonably about the items
that should go on such a list, one can find that the experience can be quite an
exhilarating one. The main aim of a
bucket list is to help an individual develop an actual visual of the things
that they would like to accomplish before they have outstayed their welcome on
this earth. This is not to say that all
individuals are busy jotting down things that they know will never happen, but
this practice should be done with a bit of realistic conception when an individual is making it. Coming up with a bucket list full of items that one is
well aware that they will not in all likelihood be able to accomplish like
placing wood door knobs on a metal door, the concept is solid enough but there
are better alternatives that would be more suitable to the situation.
One
should take the time to sit down and actually think about the things that they
would like to do before they die and then come up with a bucket list that can
actually be accomplished if one puts their head to it. This is actually not a hard task to achieve and though
it may be as fun as coming with items such as “talking to an alien” on an
individual’s list, it gives one something that they can work one thus allowing
them satisfaction of being able to tick off a good number if not all of the
items that are on an individual’s list. Some of the fun things that an individual may choose to add to their list
and are quite achievable if one puts their mind to it include exciting
activities such as:
Sky Diving
This is an exhilarating feeling
that cannot be compared to anything else. There are few things that get the
adrenaline pumping going as fast than jumping out of an airplane.
Meet a Head of State
This is something that is not easy to do, but it is achievable nonetheless. It is
also a story that one will be able to tell their kids when they are older and
serve as a source of memorable reminiscing.
