Bucket List

      Sometimes we get caught up with deadlines and striving to make a profit, we forget what we really want to accomplish in life. For all of the cynics out there, think about it. Why do you wake up every morning? Are you truly happy? Take a moment and think about what you really want to accomplish in your life. Write yourself a bucket list. But also make a time frame when you want to accomplish these because if you don't you will keep just pushing them back.

Here's mine...

  1. Sponsor a third-world child... Probably in my late thirties when I have money
  2. Have a pen pal.... Done
  3. Run a marathon... May 1, 2010
  4. Watch the sunrise and sunset in the same day... Done
  5. Have a family... Probably in my late twenties 
  6. Solve a Rubik's Cube... Done
  7. Go on a missionary trip... By the summer of 2013 hopefully
  8. Find my soulmate... Soon hopefully
  9. Backpack through Europe... When I am done with college
  10. Start my own blog... Done
  11. Meet Peyton Manning... When I go to the Indianapolis Colts training camp next summer
  12. Witness a miracle... Done
  13. Have a piece of my high school track... Done
  14. Write a book... Next Summer
  15. Attend church on a weekly basis... Done
  16. No more cursing... Next Summer
  17. Repay my parents back for everything they have given me... Probably in my late thirties
  18. Watch my child win his/her first race... When I have kids
  19. Leave this world a better place than I came in... The future
  20. Finish this list... The Future 
If I can finish this list, I know ultimately I lived the best life I could ever live.
