16 Things to Do Before You Die
In order to really live it up, I think it is important to know what you truly want to do. By determining what activities are important to you, you can make sure you work towards them in life. Here’s my list of
16 things to do before you die
- Make an impromptu road trip. Take off for a long weekend of adventure. Who knows what’s in store?
- Run in a marathon or bike a challenging ride for charity. Do good for others, while doing something good for yourself.
- Face your fears. Afraid of heights? Snakes? Fish? Take it on–slowly at first. You can do it.
- Sky dive. (Enough said.)
- Create something useful by hand. Treasure it. Brag about it. Add it to your will.
- Spend an afternoon in a hammock. Lay back, read a book, nap… Don’t do work. Don’t think about work. The work will still be there when you return to reality. Be it’s boss. Make it wait for you.
- Get a pet.
- Participate in a research study. There are plenty out there, of all varieties. Find something that interests you. You can find them online or at a local university.
- Learn how to dance–at least one kind. The salsa is easy, if you have good hips. East Coast Swing is fun, too.
- Create a signature dish. Cook it. Share it. Let people beg you for the recipe.
- Find two adult friends that you can share things with. Enjoy them. Laugh. Act like kids again.
- Love with abandon. You never really get as much out of life if you are only smart and safe.
- Start a collection. Make a library of books, movies, or music. Fill shelves with elephants. Get anything that comes in that foam green color you like so much.
- Have your passport filled with stamps. Travel. Everywhere you go, make an acquaintance. Write to them after you leave. Stay in touch.
- Take that huge risk you’ve been dying to try, even if others tell you it’s not very practical. It’s your life–try anything your heart leads you too.
- Make a difference. Do something that makes the world a better place–in a tangible way.
