They, whoever they is, say that people should make a list of the things they want to do in their lifetime. We all want to be happy, but there are things each of us have on our own list that aren’t universal. Supposedly making a list of these things is a lot like a To Do list in that it will help you visualize and accomplish that tasks/goals. Who knows how well it really works but at the least I can use it as my “Cool Things Before I Die” list to mark things off of. Some of these are pretty old but I can remember wanting to do them back when I was younger so they’re no less deserving. The list is in no particular order and will likely grow as I find the latest and greatest in life inspiring activities.
