Creating a Bucket List: My 12 Goals

I have written my bucket list.

You’d think there are plenty of things you want to do.
But, when you actually sit down to write them out, it’s surprisingly difficult.
I could only list 12 items. ONLY 12 items…

Why only 12 items?

I believe there are two main reasons:

Each item on my list is quite big.
There are many smaller things that I hesitate to include in a bucket list.

1.Each Item on my list is quite big

For example, items like “Create my company” or “Living on a deserted island” are on my list.
These goals need a significant amount of preparation to achieve.

While they may look impressive as dreams, they feel like a test of my determination.
I’m serious about starting a company.
But living on a deserted island is more like something I’d love to try if I can.

Anyway, “a big goal begins with small steps.”
To create my company, I’m already working on various tasks through my side business.
For living on a deserted island, I’m thinking of activities like tent camping while hiking or just regular camping.
In fact, I’ve already purchased some gears for tent camping. Now I just need to go!

2.There are many smaller things that I hesitate to include in a bucket list.

For example, things like:

Going to the zoo
Buying electric curtains
Hiking more often

There are many smaller goals like these, but they didn’t feel like “bucket list” items, so I left them out.
Of course, I think it’s totally fine to include them.
Maybe I just wanted my bucket list to feel a bit more special.

I didn’t include them in my bucket list.
I still think that achieving small things, one by one, is an important way to enrich my life.
I want to value those smaller “wants” as well.

I found What I Truly Want to Do

Even though I only listed 12 items, it was still a valuable process.
By writing them down, I was able to carefully think about “What do I really want to do?”

Creating this list gave me the opportunity to make a mind map and reflect deeply on myself and my future.
In everyday life, it’s hard to find time to think about these things.

Now that I’ve set these goals, I want to achieve as many as possible.
By reaching small goals step by step, I believe I’ll discover new things along the way.

Recently, I felt stuck in my life.
Now, with the big goal of create my company, I finally have something real to focus on.
I’m excited to get started.

Why not try making your own bucket list?
