Bucket List

Recently I’ve been giving a lot of thought to what I’ve accomplished in my life as well as the areas in which I am lacking. I decided the best way to measure such is to come up with a list of sorts…

… to help me acquire fulfillment in my life and allow me as much inner growth as possible.

… that must not be set in stone for I’m sure that goals in life will change over time and that maintaining it “as is” may restrict me.

… a work in progress and must be defined and refined often.

… made from an assortment of small goals to give me momentum as well as larger ones that will prove more difficult as I go. 

… inspired by other people’s ideas as well as a wish list of my own.

This is my very own Bucket List.
