A Better Bucket List
A few years ago I started poking around the edges of putting together a bucket list. Once I started to assemble one something did not feel right. I did not bother to give it much thought and set it aside until it was forgotten and became a distant memory.
Recently I decided to revisit the entire bucket list issue. I started to search around the internet for a list that made sense. I looked up bucket lists in every conceivable way I could think of, no matter how generic or esoteric they all seemed to be the same. Travel to an exotic destination, take a cruise, learn a language, adopt a positive attitude etc. These are all great things to do but they are not even close to what I had in mind.
I instinctively knew a couple of things. A bucket list should not cause you to spend money. A bucket list should not be what society thinks is good for you nor should it be something that bolsters your ego. A bucket list does not need to be life-changing but it should at the very least be life-enhancing. A good bucket list should cause you to think about how you are moving through life. Last and certainly not least a good bucket list is not just about you, a better bucket list will take into consideration all the lives you touch during your journey.
The list is long but it is meant to be a reference list that people can pick and choose from and refer back when they feel the need.
I published this list today on one of my sites but I plan to republish this list in a few weeks with changes. Feel free to add to the list or tell me why something should be taken off. Your feedback is welcomed. The list has been randomized so there is no order of importance.
