The Bucket List
Okay so you’re probably thinking, “yeah everyone has one of those. I mean who doesn’t have a list of things they want to do before they die?” The only difference is most people only make the list, not many actually take the steps to do anything. Even if I don’t accomplish a single thing on this living list of items I want to do in my life, I can feel at peace that I wasn’t afraid to try them.

Why A Bucket List?
The short answer is because it’s my life. The long, more elaborate, answer is because like many others out there as life becomes weighed down with responsibility we lose site of what it’s all for. I found myself wanting even though in current societies view I had a lot. The thing with that type of thinking is that you assume everyone wants the same thing out of life. The simple truth is that’s not the case. I want to do big things on a scale that was built specifically for me. Big things on another persons scale might seem small. The point is I want to do what makes me excited and not fall so far into the trap of routine that I don’t know how to climb out. If I’m actively pursuing a list of items that excites me than I am training my brain to put myself out there.
That is exactly the type of lesson I want my son to value. Taking risks. How does the quote go?
“The biggest risk is not taking any risk”
I’d like to leave you with one thought. Are you where you want to be in life? If the answer is no then my follow up question is, why not? I am willing to bet that you’ve asked yourself these questions before and it’s never been the right to make a change but what if the right time never comes? Will you continue heading in the same direction? What if it was the right time? Would you actually take action? Timing is important but there is no timing that eliminates all risk. Think from a perspective of how risky it might be to never have tried at all. What would that, future, ideal, self think if you didn’t at least try?
