I’m a list fanatic; in particular, I’m a lover of bucket lists. A bucket list is something everyone should have. The ideas aren’t mean to be morbid. Instead, it’s a collection of inspirational goals that you’d like to accomplish in your life.
A good bucket list is balanced. There should be items on the list that are easy to accomplish as you grow. They also motivate you to learn about how you can make those dreams possible.
