I’m absolutely not going to get all morbid here but something’s happened lately that’s reinforced my belief that life really is too short and that you never know what’s going to happen from one day to the next. I’m not going to go into detail about what’s happened as it’s not really my story to tell but needless to say, it’s made me think about life in general and all of the things that I want to do while I can.
Because I love an excuse for a good list, I’ve spent some time writing down everything that popped into my head when I thought about the things I’d like to experience. It’s an odd little list if you read through it as I literally just typed what came into my head and didn’t think about the practicalities until I’d got to number 50.
Some are simple things, some are expensive and probably more than a little indulgent and some are things that are outside of my comfort zone but they’re all things that I would like to experience at least once.

What do you think – is it all achievable?
I definitely recommend everyone sitting down and writing a list like this at least once because there’s nothing like getting things down on paper to make you feel more accountable for actually doing something about achieving the things you want!
To help, I’ve got a little printable for you which hopefully should encourage you to write down your life goals – just click on the image and you’ll be taken to the printable version.
Have fun planning!
