10 Items or Less: Things to do before I die

I believe in defining success for yourself. In the same way I also believe in defining what it means to really LIVE for yourself. Why would you put other people’s ideas on a list that is supposed to be about what YOU want to accomplish?

How do you define it? You tell me. Success usually flows from things about which you are passionate. So do the things that make you come alive.

PASSION is key in drawing up your bucketlist. What makes you bubble over with excitement, what makes your toes curl, what makes your brain run at 120 km/h? Find out what your passion is and work from there. Both Leo Babuata and Chris Guillebeau have blogs about how to find out what your passion is and how to make it work for you, so I’m not going to get into that.

What I do want you to know, is that a bucketlist is a guideline for what you want to get out of life. many of the things you write down are symbolic of your interests and your perspective on life. It can help you grow more fully into who you are as a person, because it reflects who you are.

So, here is my 10 items or less:

1. Learn: to tango in Argentina, speak Italian, photography, the art of non-conformity

2. Roadtrip through SA

3. Bungeejump off Bloukrans

4. Get published

5. Get involved with NGO’s: SANCOBB and Habitat for Humanity

6. Do 1 random act of kindness everyday

7. Stand up for what I believe in

8. Do 1 new thing every month
