My Live Life to the Fullest List
I assume a good many of us have things we want to do before we die, right? For some, it might be something as wild as plummeting off a plane from thousands of feet; for others, it might be something as simple as trying a new or interesting food. We all have things we want to do before we kick the bucket, no matter how extreme or moderate they are. Hence, the phrase "bucket list." I have such a list, except my list really hasn't much to do with kicking the bucket. Instead, my list (yes, I have a physical list) involves taking life by the horns in the moment, and appreciating life in the now. It's not merely about doing as many exciting things as I can before I die, rather, it's about doing things that I believe is involved in living a fulfilled life, hence the name: "Live Life to the Fullest List." But I didn't come up with the inspiration for this list on my own. Actually, I got it from a TV show I came across two years ago called No Tomorrow.

The Seed
The seed was once a part of something huge; a very small, seemingly insignificant part of a tree. Well, the seed had big dreams, and aspirations. But he always kept them to himself. All day long, hanging from a limb, blowing in the wind, sitting in the scorching sun. But it didn’t matter much to the seed. He felt that he was somehow prepared for the weather that came in the season, so on he lived happily flipping and turning in the wind, until one day when he was feeling at the top of his game, he fell to the ground from the tree.

I Quit My Job to Chase My Dreams
I never thought that this glorious day would truly come. I mean, it hasn't yet, however it is approaching super fast. I'm doing something that I have constantly desired to accomplish, but have been too much of a coward to make happen. I'm proud to announce I am quitting my job to pursue my dreams as a writer. Creative writing and frequent travel are undoubtedly something I have longed passionately for—for such a long time. The sole problem is I've been only doing just that... Longing. I haven't fought for any of it, and now it's a marvelous time to get started.

The Secret to Success
Going away to college was one of the strangest times of my life. That first night in my dorm I realized that when I woke up the next morning I wouldn’t have to say, “Good morning!” to my parents. I wouldn’t have to pretend to be interested in my sister, or her life. My roommate hadn’t even arrived yet, so I would be all alone the next morning. I had hit the jackpot.

The 2 Billion Dollar Challenge
What would you do if I gave you two billion dollars? The conditions are that you cannot save it, and you cannot invest it. For the purposes of making the question simpler, we’ll also consider that the money is not affected by taxes, and that you live to be around 100 years old.

Dedication = Wins
If you don't love what you're doing, or you can't seem to find the energy to do what you're doing... then chances are you're not dedicated. Dedication is a heavy word that many take for granted such as words like "love" or "loyalty" and even words like "on the grind" or "entrepreneur" written all over their social media when the most they do is respond to their followers and sell promos for quick cash.

Starting
Starting some new interest proves to be a difficult task for many people. In particular, for me, it is super difficult. The longer one takes after expressing they want to try something new, they might get chastised for having not started. I think the reason this happens is because those chastising might not have anything better to do with themselves. But I really don't know. I am not them. I think starting is especially hard for anyone who really doesn’t know much of that particular field.

Progress
Progress, a word many of us have come to learn from society, means to grow and expand. To grow, learn, and to evolve both individually and socially is the goal of progress. This drive to improve is built into the very fabric of who we are as a people. We are all dreamers, explorers, and poets; buried deep inside all of us is the drive to surpass who we were yesterday. To evolve not only our understanding of ourselves, but of the collective whole we call society. We have come to see the modern world as more progressive than what has come before, and we measure the quality of our society by how far our reach extends. Yet, by forgetting the mistakes of the past, we are doomed to repeat their failures.
