Have you ever written a bucket list or considered writing one? In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s a list of things you would like to do before you die or “kick the bucket” as the saying goes. I came across an A-fest talk on YouTube given by the late Sean Stephenson in 2010. I’ll link to it here and at the end of this post.
I bring up the talk because in it he tells the audience to make a bucket list. This bucket list he encourages, should be in 3 parts, namely: 1. People you want to meet, 2. Places you want to visit and 3. Experiences you want to have.
Just as I was thinking “I’ve already written similar lists,” he said “I don’t care if you’ve written one before, do it again right now.” Being the active learner that I am and the big dreamer that I am, I thought what have I got to lose, so I paused the video and started writing my lists. I would encourage you to watch the video and go ahead and write your own lists. Things on his list came true so I’m excited to see how the things on my lists will come about.
Here are my lists as an example:
People I look forward to meeting:
- Oprah Winfrey
- Tim Ferriss
- Trevor Noah
- Alicia Keys
- Rihanna
- Sean Paul
- Arianna Huffington
- Steve Harvey
- Daymond John

- Richard Branson
- Dr Joe Dispenza
Places I aim to visit
- Los Angeles
- Chicago
- Mauritius
- Paris
- Agra, India
- Austin, Texas
