The Bucket List starring Jack Nicolson and Morgan Freeman told the story of two dying men trying to complete a list of 'things to do or experience' before they die. It's a bit cheesy yet enjoyable.
It did make me think though. I have started to rewrite my own list. Maybe you should as well as it helps to think about what it important in your life.
Obviously this is just another way of looking at WHY you are you involved with this business. It forces you to ask the question, 'will my involvement in this business take me towards what is on my Bucket List or not?
How many things should be on your list? Great personal development author Jack Cranfield talks of 101. I don't believe there should be a set number yet I like the fact he has a large number of things AND that he wrote his last list in his mid-40s [he still has THAT spark for life!]
The list I believe is also a living document to be added to and subtracted. Based on what you discover.
As an example; I don't really enjoy going to concerts; I fell asleep at the World Premier of Miss Saigon, turned down tickets to see Cirque du Soleil and walked out of a Prince concert. YET I WILL see the following people in concert…They are called the Dance of a Thousands Hands - Thousand-Hand Kuan Yin.
Considering the tight coordination required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all deaf. Yes, you read correctly. All 21 of the dancers are complete deaf-mutes. Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate and stirring.
Think about what you want to see, do and become in your life as you watch this incredible performance. Talk to your people about writing their Bucket List. Maybe run a Bucket List Day…:
