Bucket list ideas: 100 Things to do before you Die
"One day, you will wake up
and there won't be
any more time to do the things
You've always wanted.
Do it now."
:-Paulo Coelho
A few days ago Sushant Singh Rajput died and all were news was circulating.
His bucket list was shown in tv news and I got inspired and wrote my own bucket list.
What's a bucket list?
If you have never heard of the term “bucket list”, it is a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill, and life experiences you wish to experience before you die.
2 Rules I use to make my bucket list.
Rule 1:-
I can’t ever delete anything once it’s been added.
I do this for multiple reasons. It helps me not to add things super impulsively.
But more importantly, it’s fun to look back and see what I used to value and what my dream/goals were.
My bucket list is a great snapshot to show what things I thought were important during different phases (lawyer, politician, world traveler, blogger, etc) of my life.
Lastly, it helps remind me of things I once wanted which I forgot about, and who knows, it may inspire me to finally go after one of them even after all this time.
Rule 2:-
Nothing is too big or small or crazy or unoriginal or outlandish to be considered a bucket list idea.
I don’t care if no one’s done it or if everyone has.
Plain and simple, if it’s something I want to do during my lifetime it makes the list.
100 Things to do before you die
Here are 10 items to consider for your bucket list. 🙂 Look through the list — is there anything that resonates with you? Note that the list below is a sample list of things you can put for your own list.
Not all of them will work for you, and you shouldn’t do them for the sake of it.
Take the items that resonate with you and use them for your own list! For your convenience, I’ve included useful resources (hand-picked by me) to aid you in your bucket list quest.
1. Travel all around the world.
Traveling — it’s the single best activity that exposes you to new cultures, broaden your mind, move out of your comfort zone, allow you to meet new people and experience the wonders of the world.
2. Learn a new language.
To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world.
3. Run a marathon
A marathon is a long-distance race of 42.2 km (26.2 miles) long — definitely not an easy feat that requires training and hard work! Training and completing a marathon will not only develop you in your physical strength and endurance, but also your mental persistence, will, and attitude.
4. Go scuba diving
As humans, we spend all of our lives on land. Yet there is a whole world under the sea that we’re not privy to! Do you know that 71% of the Earth’s surface is actually the ocean? And do you know that because of the ocean’s depth, it contains about 300 times the habitable volume of the terrestrial habitats on Earth — and many ocean species are still to be discovered?
With scuba diving and snorkeling, you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the marine life — and see, feel, and experience the vast ocean in person. Scuba diving is one of my bucket list items!
5. Start your business.
Entrepreneurship is fraught with uncertainty but it certainly is fun and rewarding! I started my DSLR camera rental using old and other websites that get me, customers, online and it was my first taste of entrepreneurship.
6. See the northern lights.
The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, is a “natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetically charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere” (Wikipedia). A natural phenomenon, the northern lights is a magnificent sight to behold, which is why people from all around the world travel great distances just for a chance to witness this phenomenon.
7. Plant a tree and watch it grow.
Do you know that some trees can grow up to several thousands of years old? Trees are one of the most important living beings on the planet. Not only do they clean our air by removing it of carbon dioxide — a major greenhouse gas — and provide us with oxygen (a gas we can’t live without), they cool the earth, prevent soil erosion, provide shelter from the sun’s rays, and provide food.
9. Create your dream home.
We live in our home for nearly half our life — make it two-third for those of us who work from home — so why not make it a beautiful and inspirational place that nourishes our soul? You don’t need to be a millionaire to create your dream home, for there are lots of cheap yet creative furnishing options these days . What you need is an expressive mind, a good eye for colors, and a well-planned budget.
10. Tell at least 10 people about your bucket list and encourage them to join you!
Rather than work on your bucket list alone, how about inviting your loved ones to create their own bucket list too? 😀 Not only will it be super fun to do so, but you may also learn something new about them during this process, such as dreams they have which you never knew! Not only that, after creating your lists, you can also be accountability buddies, holding each other accountable to the items on your lists.
11.Learn Card magic
This the new hobby I have started and its amazing. Card magic can help you interact with others. If you wanna learn card magic I will reccomend www.vilenmagic.com for you.
Conclusion:- Make a Bucket list and tell more people about it. Try to knock off the bucket list before life knocks you down.
