Life Wishlist – Things I want to do before I Die

Trust me, there’s magic in writing down your Wishlist. It’s like you telling the universe what you wish for. It’s invaluable having a significant clarity in what you want from life 🙂

Do you have a life Wishlist? If not, I would suggest you create one. Will it cost something? Nope. How long will it take? Maybe an hour or two. Even if you live by goals or to-do lists, they are probably framed within a social context, e.g., performance, career, health etc. A Wishlist opens up the context for your life. It’s a list to identify everything you’ve ever wanted to do, whether it’s big or small, purposeful or random. Just sit and write it down on your notepad or diary or publish it on your blog or print it and stick it in your room.

Here’s a wish list of all of the things in life I want to achieve or fulfil. I’m not sure if I ever will check everything off this list, but a guy can dream, right? let’s compare notes, shall we? Okay, here goes. I Wish to:
