Top 10 Things You May Want to Do in Your Life

I have been very fortunate my entire life in that I have mostly been able to do anything I ever wanted. Whether it was travel, adventure, buying stuff… the list is almost endless so it can be quite difficult to pick out just ten things that I would consider important and would hope that everyone gets to experience at least once in their life. This is my feeble attempt at doing so.

1. Learn what it is like to truly love someone and always cherish that they love you. To appreciate someone as they are and as they want to be is knowledge that can bring peace and happiness every day of your life. Especially, when you know that they do the same for you.
2. Experience the comfort and joy of being able to cry with someone. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness… it takes a lot of courage and trust to do so.
3. Find something you are truly passionate about and showcase that passion. If you manage to do this with a job, then you will probably never work a day in your life. For example, I was very passionate about underwater basket weaving for a very long time and I still take great pleasure in every memory.
4. Establish a theme song for every point in your life. Sometimes it could be Classical music and at other points it could be Heavy Metal or Smooth Jazz. Regardless, having music in your life can make a difference.
5. Know what it is like to forgive. We all make mistakes and we can recover from most of them. We also hurt others just as others hurt us. Being able to forgive is a key way to learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others. Forgiveness brings freedom from the past. It also creates possibilities for the future.
6. Be with someone during their final hours, minutes, seconds. Even though I have always wished to experience this fewer times than I have… holding someone in your arms as their life slips away… celebrates the importance of life and why we must live it to its fullest at all times. I don't believe I have ever met anyone who wanted to die alone. Being there for a person at this crucial time also shows that their life mattered to them and you.
7. Make someone smile or laugh. This one almost sounds like the easiest or the most trivial thing to do on this list; fortunately for you, it's not. Bringing even just one moment of happiness to someone's heart can be a lifelong endeavor. It can also change someone's life forever.
8. Witness the birth of a child. The start of a new life can be a good way to understand that life is important and is worth living. When the child is yours, now there is another life worth living for…
9. Create respect and appreciation for Nature. One of the easier ways to do this is to grow something and educate others. Plant a tree or a turnip and share the experience with others. Whatever it is, we should always remember that without other living things we would not be alive. Every day we use the living things around us to keep ourselves alive. We literally owe our lives to the plants and animals that ensure we continue to live through their own lives.
10. Never stop learning and experiencing life. There is always so much to do and understand, despite how many times we've thought that there is not much we can do. The preferable moment to stop is death. I think we all know that none of us will get out of this alive. So, why stop early?

I guess that does it and I hope this helps. Have a great time living the life you want to live and may you live more than I have, quite readily. Disclaimer: These are things you do not have to do or even should do, just some things you may want to do.
