Is it time to start creating your legacy? Do you want your loved ones to know that life is about more than money? Have you worked hard and now feel that it is time to start taking advantage of all life has to offer? Don’t wait until you are dying. Make a bucket list because you want to start living.

Making a bucket list can remind you of what is really important in your life and may help you focus your energy into what really matters. Reexamining your goals can help propel you in the right direction. Completing a bucket list will keep you focused, make you feel accomplished, keep you active, creates a legacy and may make you a more interesting and fulfilled person.

Creating a bucket list is the first step to accomplishing the fun things in life you have always had the desire to conquer! Involving the people around you can be fun and inspiring to others. A bucket list is an invitation to dream BIG and sets a great example for the next generation.

Putting your bucket list in writing gives you a better chance of actually doing it. Share your list with friends and family- this will hold you accountable and help you to actually move forward with your dreams. Get together with a group of people and discuss the things you have done and plan to do- this will give you support and maybe some great ideas that you never thought of. Trade in your book club for a bucket list club!
Put realistic deadlines on your activities. Prioritize your Bucket List and take action. Push your personal boundaries. Life is short. Start TODAY!!

Don’t worry if you are not adventurous. Sometimes the small things we do are the most gratifying. Donating blood, helping the less fortunate or spending time with loved ones belongs on this list.
