A Bucket List. The best kind of list. A list full of adventure, joy, fear, racing hearts, dirty boots, and breathtaking views. A list that often gets lost or forgotten among the many other seemingly more important or practical lists of our every day routines and schedules. But, it’s THIS list, the one that unintentionally collects the most dust, that really shapes a life and perhaps even more clearly defines its true purpose, calling, and intended nature.
How do we focus more on our Bucket List and less on the grocery list, honey-do list, back to school list, and the 100s of others that plaque our minds and schedules every day? Money, it seems, is always an issue and there are never enough hours in a day to get everything done. Is it wiser then to stay the course of practicality and hustle for every dollar to have the best of the best, complete those house renovations and save up for that new car? Or, could your wealth and success be found not in the material things you buy, but in the experiences you have, the memories you create, the fears you face with your heart in your throat, and the quality time devoted to spending with loved ones?
This week’s Call to Action: Find that Bucket List you stuffed somewhere in the back of that junk drawer, dust that baby off, update it, and pin it to the front of your calendar. Your next to-do is to make that Bucket List a reality.
