'I don't want to survive, I want to live!'
- Captain, WALL-E
We all have dreams and goals. Everyone does, no matter how small or big. No matter what our background is, how rich we are, where we come from, we all have things we want to do before we die.
Some things are inspirational goals, life changing, some are silly little things, but they are important to us. We all have them. Some people will have similar wishes to others, some will have different. But either way we all have one thing in common, we want to live.
The quote at the top of this article is from one of my favorite films (I cry every single time I watch it). I think it is a brilliant quote, it is said not too long after the Captain of the ship realizes what is out there, what things he could do with his life, he has wishes, dreams, things to do before he dies. Even WALL-E has a wish, just to hold EVE's hand (just too cute).
What is the point in just surviving? Yes, I'm aware to some people that is their only option, to survive, but even they have dreams on how they wish to live. 'I don't want to survive, I want to live!' Make the most out of your life! Do you really want to be on your death bed, looking back at your life and thinking, is that it? Is that all I did? Will you be satisfied? Will you have truly lived?
Now I have a huge bucket list, so I won't bore you with them all will just put down maybe 20, yes 20, that's a nice number. I have completed about a quarter of my full bucket list, so I have a long way to go but hey every journey starts with a single step. Hope you like my list, maybe it will give you a few ideas for your own. If you want to let me know a few you already have, feel free to comment with them.
