Bucket List---Share your Dreams :) :)

Hey Empowered Fam! :)

I was just in a call with

in his group, where we talked about creating a Bucket List and I was inspired to share this with the group! He is running a Bucket List Challenge in his group (100 goals in 5 years)!!

QUESTION: What are some of the things on YOUR bucket list? I would LOVE to hear about some of these! :)

Aaaaaaaand...Because this is a group about inspiring and being inspired, empowering and being empowered, and living to our fullest potential (whatever that may look like) this is a great way to support/encourage each other along the way!

Some additional info about bucket list, if you'd like it! :)

-------------------------------

A bucket list is an intentional inventory of experiences, goals, and growth edges you want to tend to during your life. Since we never know when our time is up, it's helpful to start now.

**Think of it less like a checklist and more like a map of who you want to become.Think about the values that you hold and how the items within the bucket list serve towards those values****

Most meaningful bucket lists have a few different “buckets” inside them:

1. Experiences (the classic stuff)

These are the do the thing items. The things that expand your point of reference.

-Travel to places that change your perspective

-Try something that scares you a little (or a lot)

-Attend or participate in something you once thought was “not for people like me”

2. Growth & Becoming

This is where it gets deeper--identify your values; explore past hurts; who are you becoming?

These items usually feel uncomfortable to write down because they require change, not just effort.

-Learn a skill you’ve always avoided

-Confront a pattern you keep repeating

-Develop a trait you admire in others (patience, courage, empathy, integrity)

3. Relationship & Connection

A lot of people realize late that who they shared life with mattered more than what they did. i posted a short video a while back (I'll try to find it again) about how love/relationships is what matters most to people in the end of their life. :)

-repair or redefine a relationship

-Have a conversation you’ve been postponing for years

-Build community or chosen family intentionally

4. Contribution & Legacy

These tend to show up when people start asking, “What was the point of all this?”

-Help someone through something you once survived (

@Arthur Maddocks-Brown

-thank you for sharing your story! So meaningful).

-Create something that outlives a season of your life (writing, mentoring, teaching, building)

-Leave a place, person, or system better than you found it (I keep saying this...and I think that one of my strenghts in life is to be a strong supporting character in other people's main story---to inspire/encourage others towards their dreams!)

5. Inner life / meaning (this may not look impressive from the outside, but you'll feel something within that no one can take away)

-Make peace with a part of yourself you’ve been fighting

-Learn how to sit with discomfort instead of numbing it

-Define success on your own terms

(Other areas to ponder: Destinations, Skills, Mental & Physical Health, Adventure, Giving without take)

What a bucket list is not

-A productivity race

- A comparison tool

-A “someday when I’m finally fixed” plan

It’s allowed to change and maybe, as we grow, it should adapt. :)

Instead of asking:

“What do I want to do before I die?”
