I entered "Bucket List" into Merriam-Webster Dictionary and got this definition:
"Bucket List: a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying."
Before DYING? How...Depressing...Is...That?
First of all, how do you know WHEN you're dying? 2020's passing of a larger-than-life celebrity and athlete Kobe Bryant should have shown all of us that NO ONE knows when their last day is.
So if you don't accomplish these before dying, does that mean your life went incomplete? Isn't it a depressing ending that you already predicted for yourself?
Second, why are these items on the list so desirable that they make all the other thing you do in your daily life not "list-worthy"? Let's do the math: Say you have 100 of those things on your "bucket list." If you live to be 100 years old, you have 36,500 days on this earth. Does that means that only 0.27% of your life was worth aspiring towards and "bucket-worthy," while the rest of life just went along passively and non-memorable?
I have a problem with that math. Why? Because I believe EVERY DAY of life should be experienced as another item on one's bucket list.
So I'm writing this article (on my patio, drinking coffee and putting pen to paper, another daily bucket list item I have for myself) to discuss how you can experience EVERY DAY going forward from here on in as if it's part of your bucket list.
I'm writing this to help anyone I can so they will have thousands more items to their "bucket list" because they are do-able and within reach. I have received way too many calls from friends and family members who are just stuck, with their eyes on that "prize" that has made the rest of their life pass by as unmemorable.
How?
Here's the first method through which you can experience a different bucket list item 365 days a year, and it will be what I'll focus on in this article.
