Dreams, adventures, and quiet promises I’d like to keep along the way.
I have recently come across several blog posts about life lists (some call it a master list or a bucket list) and how important they are to reaching a goal (two great posts are here and here). The act of trying to come up with a list and writing it all down is a huge step in actually realizing a dream. I may never have known I wanted to do these things, but now that I’ve brainstormed and written them down, they are in the forefront of my mind and I am more likely to take action on some of them if the opportunity arises. People recommend you come up with 100 things you’d like to accomplish before your time is up… I don’t even have a third of that but I’m having trouble coming up with more items to list here. What’s on your list?
