Today, we are going to talk about the importance of CELEBRATION and how I believe it will INSPIRE YOU TO mark this moment in your life by starting on your 10 THINGS bucket list now.
With turning 36 only a few days away (July 25th), I have my birthday on my mind and yet also a bit of hesitation on how to celebrate another year around the sun amidst our new normal.
As an Enneagram Type 7, adventure and celebration comes naturally to me but it’s in moments like this I find myself seeking inspiration. My unlikely inspiration this year is the bucket list movie from 2007. You know, the one with jack Nickerson & morgan freeman?
As a quick reminder … Billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and car mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) are complete strangers until fate lands them in the same hospital room. The men find they have two things in common: a need to come to terms with who they are and what they have done with their lives, and a desire to complete a list of things they want to see and do before they die. Against their doctor's advice, the men leave the hospital and set out on the adventure of a lifetime.
There’s nothing like the reality of mortality to trigger living life to the fullest, right?
It’s a fitting reminder as we continue to navigate life amidst a pandemic. I find myself more and more lately thinking about how I can personally and professionally inspire others to live their bucket-list life now?
So with this in mind, now more than ever we much cherish life and celebrate every moment. I’m going to share with you my plans for checking off a couple of items on my birthday bucket list as a form of celebrating 35 years of life!
