The Bucket List!

Because dreams become goals when you write them down… or something like that!

At some point in our lives, most of us have compiled a ‘Bucket List’ of experiences and achievements.

Maybe you still have one?

If you are anything like me, that list probably sat vaguely at the back of your mind and every so often jumped to the foreground in a moment of excitement, only to return to the murky depths shortly after.

So often we relegate our big dreams to the wistfulness of ‘some day’. But I believe our dreams shouldn’t live that way!

In the year before my fortieth birthday I decided to create a ’40 before 40’ list. Truth be told, I didn’t tick every item off the list before my big birthday arrived BUT it set the momentum in motion and now I am on a clear path to manifest my dreams to become reality.

There is another thing that I realised when compiling my list.

It’s not all about the big goals.

Yes, of course there are plenty of those too… BUT many things on my list were silly things or small things, that would likely mean nothing to any one else. 

These small or silly goals are equally valid.

In choosing to share my Bucket List here…

  1. It helps you get to know me a little better to see what my dreams are made of!

  2. It keeps me accountable to reaching my goals once I share them out loud.

  3. It may give you some inspiration and permission to bring your own Bucket List out of the dusty archives of your mind and set the momentum in motion in your life.

I’d love to hear from you too…

Have any of my goals lit a fire in your belly? 

Do we share any of the same dreams?
