Things to do before you die

Have you ever thought about your time left here?

If you had six months left to live, what would you like to do? How would you spend your time if you knew you had only 6 months to live?

It is the question that I often ask my self to remember me if I am living the live that I really want. From I was a child, I have always had a paper bucket list. Yes, that list of things to do before you die. Once in a while I remake the list to add my new crazy ideas and to tick the things done. My list could be called “Trips to do before you die”.

I have to admit that I think about this list more than I should.

I guess that the idea of ​​thinking that our time here is limited, makes me think again and again how I can make the most of it before the clock stops forever.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

I encourage all of you to do this exercise:

If my time was running out, what would I like to do before I leave this world?

Sometimes we do not appreciate the gift that is the simple fact of living and we consume the days doing nothing, as if we were to live forever.

Try to remember something, please. When was the last time you did something for the first time?

If the answer does not come to your mind immediately, you should stop and think seriously if …:

-If you are living the life that you really want to live.

-If you are achieving the goals you always dreamed about.

– If right now you are in the place you want to be, with the person or people you want to be and doing what you really love.

* This is not a cheap psychology session, it’s about looking into your deepest parts and finding a way to start living your life as fully as possible.

Have you heard the mythical phrase ” Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away “?

Well, so that’s absolutely true and it is what I mean. People need to live more experiences that leave us breathless, to have a happy and fulfilling life. I believe that the human being when is happy and has a purpose, is capable of doing incredible things and changing the world in the way that we know it.

The best advice I can provide you, is : Create your own bucket list and start to make it real. There is much to do and a really short time to achieve it, so do not delay your dreams anymore.

Although my real list has hundreds and hundreds of things to do before you die and places to visit, here is a list of my favorite 100 things to do before you die. You can call it “my bucket list” or “my ultimate bucket list” (as we are bloody adventure seekers, hahaha).

I hope I can inspire you in some way or It can help you to create your own bucket list.

See you on the road, mates. Pura vida!!
