Journey To Thirty: Bucket List

 

Before my birthday last month, I made a decision to embark on my own personal journey to the next milestone in my life, turning 30. It wasn’t until I realize that i haven’t really done any of the things I would have like to have done. This series “Journey To Thirty”, will consist of different projects, letters to myself, manifestation exercises and other tools that you can also use for your own personal journey in life.

To begin this series, I decided to share my Bucket List. A bucket list is a list of things a person would like to do before they die. You may or may not be familiar with a movie called, “Bucket List”, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. In the movie both Nicholson and Freeman was diagnosed with Terminal Lung cancer, and they decided to go to places and do things that they have never done before. They go skydiving together, fly over the North Pole,  visited the Taj Mahal, and etc. *Spoiler Alert* Morgan Freeman’s character does die at the end, but it is a great movie to watch for inspiration.

On my bucket list, I will share places I would like to go visit and things I would like to do also. As a native New Yorker, I have never seen the statue of liberty up close, or even celebrated New Years Eve in Times Square. As much as people would believe that is something we (New Yorkers) would take pride in doing, it is more so Tourists who get real enjoyment from that. This Bucket list of mines are things I would like to do once I turn 30 years old. And I am giving myself ten years to accomplish this entire list. By the time, I reached 40 years old, I should have not only completed this list but have move on to my next journey, “Turning 40”. Billionaire Bill Gates once stated that he has accomplished every single thing on his bucket list, except for one thing. “To Not die”. Now of course, some things can not be accomplished, but the idea that he did complete his list is inspiring enough. I took a lot of time putting this list together and I do hope that it will encourage you to also make a list of things and just go out and do them. You may learn more about yourself than you could ever imagine. Enjoy.
