Your Top 20 Bucket List for Living the Good Life
How highly successful people end up living their best life possible.
16. Embrace the joy in life.
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” –Brené Brown
17. Spend time alone.
“The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.” –Diane Von Furstenberg
18. Go vegan, and let it open your heart.
“I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.” – Leonard da Vinci
19. Find something you can do with absolute abandon.
“Do anything, but let it produce joy.” –Walt Whitman
20. Make space in your life for media-free time.
“It’s called ‘the web’ because once you’re in it, you’re stuck.” –Terry Hall

Great! I think everything here is very helpful. I would add: Take the time to look at the stars sometimes and realize how small we are, and how small are our issues and anxiety. It always helps me to handle my troubles with more calm…

I love this! It’s very encouraging for me as an artist/entrepreneur. Just too many I can’t find all the time to do!

Sounds great!! looking forward to putting these into practice. Thank you! This arrived at the right moment. There are a few similarities between some of your goals, like doing something that makes me uncomfortable and setting physical challenge for myself(i’m into cycling and running). What I love about this bucket lists is realizing how many amazing things I have already accomplished in my life. Looking forward to more inspiration from this site.

Very easy to read and apply to ones life. Some great points to ponder on stepping out of our comfort zone. I will try to set my focus inward to create a more centered, peaceful world around me and push through the other stuff. This post is so insightful and inspiring. Thanks Hilary, for taking the time present this information to us.

What I most love about this article that it shows a bucket-list isn’t just about the places that you want to visit and the adventures that you want to go on. This is all about personal growth, and I really adore it! I’m adding your ideas to my list. And as I volunteer twice a week,I can already cross one thing off the list. 🙂 😉

This has completely changed my perspective. These are such striking ideas. It is so beautiful and unique that it just makes me want to write down my own list, which I’ll do at some point, and I’ll include these amazing ideas too.

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for this amazing article. I can’t even begin to tell you how inspired I am right now even though I’m not one to make bucket lists. This article inspired me to do a karma list. A list of bad things I’ve done, and I’ll work on making them right again. 🙂
Diana Hewitt
Amazing. I was just about to cross something off of my bucket list when I ran into this post. I fully agree with every point made. Your Bucket list shouldn’t just be a mindless collection of random things to do before you hit 60- though you have every right to make it just that if you want. But it should include thing about bettering yourself, trying something new, and having fun in the process.

Well put! Life is way more than making a list of things that you would like to do. If you don’t think about the activities within your Bucket List, it becomes yet another “to-do” list. However, with much thought about what’s important to you and where your life is headed, your bucket list can become truly meaningful. Thank you for this article! 🙂
