Fulfilling a bucket list dream is a great way to #flexyourcourage…
I’ve had a bucket list for many years. It’s evolved, over time: fifteen years ago I wanted to see a live taping of the Oprah show and own a golden retriever with a blue bandana around his neck. I wanted a baby grand piano, and to own a great suit.
My life changed quite a bit after I graduated university, got a “real” job, and got married. My bucket list didn’t suit me anymore: Oprah left the world of daytime television, we adopted a quirky lab/husky dog from a rescue shelter, I’ve lost a lot of my skill on the piano, and the suit wasn’t nearly as fulfilling as I thought it would be.
Nevertheless, my bucket list lives on. It’s a somewhat random and quite varied list, and I try to cross something off of it each year. Last year, I paddled among the icebergs in Newfoundland; this year I went on a solo retreat and paddled the sea caves at The Ovens Provincial Park. Returning to India and seeing Dave Matthews Band live is just going to have to wait for another year…

Do you share your ambitions with others? How often do you manage to cross something off your list?
