Having a bucket list of life goals is something everyone should look forward to. Not because we are actively anticipating death daily, but because we have an understanding that every moment here on earth is precious and we should live our lives meaningfully and purposefully.

I challenged myself to write down a list of 101 life goals I will love to achieve, and it has really changed my outlook on life.

When creating your bucket list, there is always a temptation to look back on the life that you have lived and the years lost in mundanities and obscurities. Please don’t fall into that trap as it is not a good place to be.

The years ahead and the present moment you are living is what is most important and that should be your focus.

Most people wish they had done a certain thing earlier on in their lives, but I’m here to tell you that irrespective of your present age, you can still make the best years ahead and create lasting memories.

Why should you write your life goals?

Writing down your life goal’s list is oddly satisfying and surprisingly so worth the effort.

This exercise helps you to find out what you enjoy doing, helps you to discover yourself more and helps you find what you are most passionate about.

I wrote down my own list of 101 life goals that I would love to accomplish before I die, some of which I have ticked off already.

It took me a while to really sit down and think on what I really feel happy and blessed doing, and here I am sharing them with you as ideas to inspire you to create yours and live the life of your dreams.

This list is in no way exhaustive, you can remove or add to this depending on your own lifestyle, beliefs and values.

From my own list, you can tell that I’m a very simple person and do not like a complicated life. I see other list, and I’m just amazed at how daring so many people can be.

I wish I can be more daring. Maybe in the future, I can tweak this list and add more adrenaline rush activities to it. Hopefully it will expand beyond 101 life goals to accomplish before I die. We’ll see how it goes.

Why should we update our goals?

You would agree with me that as you grow older in age and experience, certain things that use to amuse you and interest you no longer do so.

Also, as a result of our experiences and exposure, we tend to look at life from a different lens and a completely new perspective.

Is it okay to completely delete some of the goals on your bucket list and add new one. This is why most bucket list is very personal to fit into your life’s journey.

As you grow older, some of the things you initially see as goal might not be goals anymore. When we update our lives, a whole lot of things change, and goals are often one of such things that can be affected albeit in the positive light.

I remember writing down a bucket list when I was 18, looking back now, I smile at some of the content of that list because my level of experience when I was 18 and my level of experience now is quite different.

Some people however delete their goals because they think it is unattainable. This is a dangerous place to be especially with a limiting mindset. But realistically, if maybe your position in life or your predicament is one that does not allow you to achieve your goals, then it is ok to delete.

But deleting them because of a limiting mindset is not a good way to go.

Must Life Goals be up to 100?

I presume you might be asking this question so I’m going to answer it.

It is very OK to have less than 100 life goals. Remember at the start of this article, I mentioned I am a very simple person. Simplicity in this case can be very relative.

For someone else, a 100 list life goals may seem like a lot and that’s fine. This is why I said that your list should be tailored to your personal needs and lifestyle and of course what makes you happy.

For me 101 is just an arbitrary number and has nothing to do with the standard.

Of course, there is no standard except the one you place on yourself.

How Do You write your bucket list?

When it comes to setting goals for your personal development and self-improvement, there is a way to it which I took out time to write about in this post.

But when it comes to writing your bucket list of things that you want to experience before you die, personally I think there should be no rules.

A bucket list is just like making your own wish come true especially when you have the where withal to do so.

As long as it does not deter you from your purposeful life, then in my own opinion, it is as good to go.

Lastly, of what use is having a bucket list when you cannot find time to tick them off the list. Just like with other areas of setting goals in our lives, we should be intentional with accomplishing the goals on our list.

Most bucket list are usually fun ideas to spice up our live, so this should be easier to achieve.
