  • Bucket list redux. 30 things to do before you die:

    http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-10247...e-you-die.html


    Most bucket lists include things like, "Go on an adventure in a far-off land," "Learn a new language," or "Buy a dream car." Although all these experiences can make our lives more exciting, the reason we crave these activities goes a little deeper.

    What drives each of these desires is one common connector, an innate yearning to belong and to feel love. When we do what we love, we become an expression of love and our happiness is infectious.

    As I check off my own adventure list — skydiving, going swimming with wild dolphins, climbing Mayan Ruins in Belize — I find that with each activity I complete, I feel a sense of accomplishment, purpose and self-worth.

    Which led me to think about our human desire to make a difference and live life more fully. All of us want the same thing: to be happy and live a wonderful life. But how we meet this need often differs from person to person.

    In the spirit of loving life to the fullest, I've revised my list of things to do before I die. These seemingly simple acts have transformed my life. What it comes down to is not how long your life is, but how wide you live it and these 30 ideas can help.

    30 things to do before you die:

    1. Stop worrying about debt.

    2. Forgive your ex-lovers.

    3. Stop trying to control your outcome.

    4. Look in the mirror and love yourself unconditionally.

    5. Leave the job you hate.

    6. Find your purpose and live it full heartedly.

    7. Adopt a furry friend.

    8. Don't feel guilty for holiday weight gain.

    9. Trust that everything is in right order.

    10. Travel to the place you keep thinking about.

    11. Try something that scares you daily.

    12. Be open to change.

    13. Let go of your past.

    14. Stop trying to change people.

    15. Stop looking for answer outside of yourself.

    16. Stop thinking you did something wrong.

    17. Be your weird, crazy, beautiful self.

    18. Follow your heart.

    19. Risk everything for love.

    20. Reject rejection.

    21. See the world as a beautiful, safe, and loving place.

    22. See everyone as equals.

    23. Give up all attachments to stuff.

    24. Recognize the journey is the reward.

    25. Stay hopeful and optimistic in difficult situations.

    26. Welcome all life lessons.

    27. See the opportunities in every challenge rather than give up.

    28. Live your values.

    29. Inspire others by your own bigness.

    30. Play with the world.

    So true! Some very good advice......Of course, "Give up all attachments to stuff" would really take some doing on my part, lol, but its sure something to aspire to.

    If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

    BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

      Give up attachment to stuff - I hope that doesn't include my phone.

        Keeping in mind that a number of these items will automatically happen when you die

                I agree, Susan. I have found some very nice links through their website so subscribed some time ago.
