Most people are not given a warning before they die like: "Jeff, you have exactly 2 weeks, 3 days, and 47 minutes until you croak." Yet so many of us take our time on Earth for granted.

Sometimes I get so caught up in my day-to-day action of work, blogging, groceries, laundry, emails blah blah blah that I forget to take time to plan things that I actually want to do.

I don't know about you, but I do not want to be that person laying on my deathbed wishing I had lived my life differently.

Why do people only get serious about the things they want out of life when they are close to kicking the bucket?

There are so many amazing experiences to have in this awesome world and we only get one life to try it all! #YOLO (thanks 2011)

The time to start living is NOW!

Where is that place you have always wanted to travel to?

What is holding you back from planning that trip?

Make a bucket list of all the wild things you would like to accomplish in your life!

A few of my favorites from my bucket list:

- Get married

- Backpack through Europe

- Have children

- Own a non-profit

- Float in a hot air balloon

- Take a cooking class

- Take scuba lessons

- Host a vegan potluck

- Rescue farm animals

- Learn how to ballroom dance

- Grow a sustainable garden of food

- Attend an overnight weekend music festival

- Take an RV road trip across the country

- Own a yacht

- Publish a book

- Meet an elephant

Some fun things I have already checked off my list:

✔ Climb a mountain

✔ Watch a stand up comedian live

✔ Go parasailing

✔ Go on a camping trip w/ friends

✔ Rescue a stray animal

✔ Visit a nude beach

✔ Go horseback riding

✔ Serve food to the homeless

✔ Start a blog :)

✔ Go on a cruise

✔ Ride an air-boat through the everglades

✔ Get a couple's massage

✔ See the Eiffel Tower

✔ Go skydiving

Feel free to steal any of my ideas! Do not hold back when writing your list- nothing is impossible! I NEVER thought I would jump out of a perfectly good plane and live to write about it, yet here I am!

I would love to hear what kind of ideas you come up with so feel free to share in the comments below!
