Live Your Life: Making a List, Checking it Twice

As each year passes and I become another year older my list of things to do seem longer and the time to do it in seems less and less. I’m not talking about an ordinary grocery list, more a list of things to accomplish, life’s must-do list, the ultimate Live Life List. I’m a notorious list keeper, so it’s only fitting that I develop a list of things I want to do before I leave this world.

Having a “Must-Do” list helps define the parameters of things that I would like to achieve. It is by no means static, constantly changing as my priorities change and I experience new things, but it’s always a reference point for what I have accomplished and what I have yet to do. It’s a measuring guide for how far my life has come and how far it has to go. My list is extremely long, so I’ll only share 10.

1. Live in a foreign country for an extended period of time
2. Write a novel (very typical, but I swear I’ve wanted to do this since I was 5)
3. Donate all my clothes and sew my entire wardrobe myself
4. Go skydiving
5. Speak another language- fluently
6. DJ a party
7. Start a magazine (another long-held dream)
8. Be financially independent
9. Take a cross-country road trip
10. Be happy

This list is by no means comprehensive but is some of the things that I aspire to achieve before I die. Some are silly and doable, others take a lot more discipline and some I know I may never achieve them, but the dreaming is enough.

Do you have a “Live Life” list? What’s on it?
