Lately I find more pleasure in searching the right gift and offering it to people I care about than getting something for myself or receiving stuff from others.
But my egoistic self (yes, it exists!) is lurking just around the corner of my (oh SO) generous side and so when it comes to daydreaming of things I would like to own or do, I do it like no other! I'm a real BIG DREAMER and I like to DREAM BIG! Can I stress this enough?
I suppose this doesn't make me more different than any other human being as DREAMING is 'THE THING' keeping us alive (except for food, water, heat and stuff, all small details) in this very harsh and sometimes cruel world.
If you're wondering what this is, you'll soon find out that not even you already know the meaning of this word, but most importantly, you already have one yourself! I guess the bucket list trend started back in 2007 (or just became pretty popular) when a movie with the same title was released starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Even more, since all kind of natural disasters were taking place all around the world and ancient populations were forecasting our 'not so bright looking' future aka the end of the world (thank you so much Maya's!) this phenomenon is increasing.
Cutting to the chase, a bucket list is a list of things you wish to do, accomplish, experience before you die, dreams you haven't fulfilled yet, plans that still need to become reality and all the highlights that design your entire life, in ADVANCE!
Without this, our life would be just simple blur, with no heading to or going to, but just day-by-day time killing.
So THINK BIG, whether it's about your career, health, social life, creativeness...it is YOUR HAPPINESS after all!
