Bucket List Lesson

     I was chatting with a friend yesterday and while talking I had an amazing revelation. We were talking about bucket lists, and what kind of things we put on them. One of the items on mine for instance is to hike a volcano and have a beer with a friend at the top. Doesn't need to be an active volcano at all, just a volcano.My friend looks at me for a second and smirks a little. " You know I don't get the point of a bucket list." He said. "Well its a list of the things you wanna do before you die." I explained. " I know what it is, I mean I don't see why you need one. Instead of just sitting there making a list why not just go do it?" He responded. " OK look you wanna hike a volcano right? " I answered with an affirmative. "Well there are Volcano's no more then like 3 hours away. Lets go to one." You need to stop thinking about this list of things to do and just do them, otherwise you waste your time."  After that we went to a beer festival and had a great time. But I thought about our conversation for a long time. I plan and make lists about so many different things that I'm missing out on them. This can be applied to school, dating so many things I just plan on. And I think that goes along with the getting fit thing as well. I'm wasting time worrying about it I just need to go and do it. So I'm hoping to cross the volcano hike off my list by the beginning of September. Make a 3 day trip out of it and just go with the flow. So thanks for the kick bud I needed it. Time to ditch the list.
