This week has put a lot of things in perspective for me. I
listened/read a lecture given by a man who had very little time left to live.
He spoke about living your dreams and how important it was. He had accomplished
many wonderful things in his life and I was able to take his inspiring words
and make my very own bucket list. This list has 50 things on it and I feel each
and every one of them is attainable.
Some of the
things on my list are selfish, but there is many that are selfless as well.
Some of the items need to be worked on immediately and others can be completed
later in life. Some people may see items on my list as crazy or unreachable,
but in my eyes they are all possible. As I looked at my list I was able to
laugh, feel excited, and feel proud. I was able to see which things I viewed as
important and interesting. I could see my definition of a success and
happiness. I also saw what I viewed as a life worth living.
How does
this relate to entrepreneurship? Well, I did have some career goals on the
list, but those alone were not what I saw as helpful insights to being an
effective entrepreneur. Both the personal and professional goals on my bucket
list will help me maintain balance in my life. Also, one side cannot exist
without the other. If I cannot achieve
all the things on the professional side of the list, then it will be nearly
impossible to attain all the things on the personal side. The professional side
inspires the personal side and vice versa.
I hope
everyone will take some time to write a bucket list. It will not only give them
a quick little snap shot of what they want their life to be like, but will help
pull out the entrepreneur inside of them. It will help them make decisions, and
take more risks. It will push them to step out of their comfort zone and learn
something they most likely wouldn’t have learned other wise. It will help them
see life more like and entrepreneur would, and that is the way I think life
what meant to be seen and lived.
