Resources for Creating Your Own Life List
What is a life list?
A life list is a list of things you want in life. Things you want to do, see, learn, accomplish, and experience. Simply, it’s a list of goals. They can be big goals or small goals. Quick goals or long-term goals. Focused goals or broad goals. The only thing that matters are that they are YOUR goals. A life list isn’t one-size-fits-all list. It’s personal.

Life List Ideas
What should you put on your life list? Anything you want! There are no rules for what you should or shouldn’t add to your life list. The only thing that does matter is that whatever you do add, it should be personal to YOU. Don’t add things just because someone else has. Everyone has a unique personality, a unique life, and a unique set of goals. So no two people will have the same life list. Need some inspiration? Here are some places to find ideas.
My Life List is an (incomplete) list of 1,000 things I want to do in my life. OK, so it may be closer to 250 items right now. But it will fill out someday. Need ideas for what to add to your life list? Check it out!
Pinterest is a great resource for life list ideas. Check out my life list board or search “life list” or “bucket list” and you’ll find all kinds of images and articles.
A bucket list is a list of all the things you want to do before you die. They’re usually the biggest, craziest, scariest, most ambitious things you’ve always thought about doing, seeing, or experiencing but haven’t yet done. Here are some ideas to get you started.
