Why do we have to wait until we are so uncomfortable that our skin is crawling before we even think about our bucket lists? The older we are, the faster our years seem to pass. Children never say, I wish I could relive first grade when they are in sixth grade. They are busy navigating sixth grade.

Live passionately. You are not here to only be “safe.” To some degree, safety is an illusion. Helen Keller said, “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children or men as a whole experience it. Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all.” Love completely. Why do we wait until our life is in danger to love completely? Why do we wait until someone close to us is ill to show our devotion, love and caregiving? You will never fail if you love completely. Live humbly. Knowing that relationships are more important than money. If we put all of our attention on financial success or popularity, without deeply acknowledging that we are who we are because of the people who love us and hold us up, life loses meaning.

You are never really ready to live until you are ready to die. Remember, bucket lists are wishes waiting to be filled. Don’t wait until its too late to attend to your bucket list.

Bucket lists are easier to start then one would think, pick up a pen and quickly write the first five dreams that come to your mind. You have now begun your bucket list. Everything is not always as hard as it seems.
