Have You Started Your Bucket List?

Well, have you?
I hope you're not waiting until you retire to begin your list. That would be such a waste. Now I know this idea was made popular by the movie The Bucket List, CheckPoint 156-315.65 but seriously, waiting until you're at the end of your life really limits what you can accomplish. The whole idea is to live every moment of your life to the fullest, doing the things that you dream of doing.
Why do this now? Why not?!? All through your life different wishes and desires come up for you. Some of these experiences may only show up at certain times in your life. Why not go for them? The only one holding you back from this is you, plain and simple.
As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do.

Alright, where to start...
Give yourself some quiet space and time to explore this. I would suggest doing this by yourself. This is Your List to be filled with Your ideas and dreams. Writing them down will help you in expanding and solidifying your ideas. It doesn't have to look perfect. You CheckPoint 156-910.70 can always go back and re-write a neater list. This is time to let your imagination flow openly and freely.
Use a "child's mind" - a child believes anything is possible. Write a list of all the things you want to do, see or accomplish. Don't pass judgment on any ideas that surface. Give yourself permission to write everything down, no matter how silly or unlikely it seems. Reach for it! The sky's the limit - correction - the universe is the limit!
Once you open your mind to this exercise, you may find ideas coming to you at various times. Jot them down so you can add them to your list. Honestly, this will become the Never Ending List, and rightfully so. As you complete items on your list, more can be added.
By constructing this list, you create energy around it. You may start noticing ways that you can experience some of your ideas. Focusing your thoughts on ideas is a way to send signals to your subconscious about what you desire. Your subconscious will work to bring these experiences to you. Then it will be up to you to become aware of them and take action.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width E20-016 of it as well.

So now it's up to you, as always, to choose how you will live your life.
You have your Bucket List, you have your dreams.
Are you going to go after them or sit and wait until the end?
