Everyone’s biggest fear is death, but if you have completed every item on your bucket list, then you die with satisfaction knowing you lived your life to the fullest. A bucket list is a list one creates of events or activities that is to be fulfilled before he or she passes away.

Linda Blair, a psychologist, stated, “Saving up the money, planning it with friends, and then the moment as well. I’m all for that, but if you’re constantly living in the future, ignoring what’s going on right now because you’re shooting for goals, which happen so quickly that they’re over, and then you have to chase another one, you’re not really living.”

Starting a bucket list is a trend that Bill Clinton, Jane Fonda, and Cameron Diaz have all accomplished in their life time. Now it’s your turn to start this easy trend to complete your life before death.

Be prepared
Go out and buy notebook. Yes, have a notebook that is decorated uniquely; make this notebook specifically for your bucket list. When buying a notebook, choose one that isn’t too large or too small, so you can be able to keep track of your bucket list and it is easily accessible at all times.

Write it
Think of a list of things that will complete your life and will allow you to die in peace. Having a great imagination is great, but let’s be real- going to the moon is not something  that will most likely happen before you pass away. The point of a bucket list is to create a list of activities to fulfill before you pass away. Having “go to the moon” as one of the activities is not reasonable and will not allow you to die knowing you fulfilled every item on your bucket list.

Fulfill your dream
Now is the time to fulfill every item on your list. Go out and experience many adventures. Make an appointment to go skydiving and have the best time of your life. This way you can die knowing you had a good life and die with satisfaction. Do everything as soon as possible; death can come at any moment and on any given day.

It is your turn to start your journey of a new life. Begin with what you want to accomplish before your life comes to an end, make it official- write it in a notebook, and go out and fulfill your dreams, one step at a time!
