I’ve debated on making this list for some time now. I find it a bit cliché to do so but then I started wondering about what would happen if I did… Initially my mind goes to those who may have a negative outlook or annoyance with all of those that have a bucket list. Afterwards I started pondering about the benefits from creating a list like this.

I set a very visible list of goals that I would like to accomplish and display for all to see. I am not one for being stagnant so I will, with time, be crossing them out and adding stories to my arsenal. And the best part of all, this list could connect me with so many other people who are wanting to do the same thing. If I haven’t done something on the list than maybe I will find somebody to tackle one thing with me. Likewise, if I have already crossed something off that somebody has not, than I may be able to help others out and give guidance on how to do so. Always looking at things in a positive manner and without further ado…
