If you knew that you had only a day to live, what would you have done? If you knew you had longer, would you have done the same thing or would you have lived differently?

Life is short, unpredictable and capricious. To live happy and to fulfill your dreams, you have to know what you want out of life. Here’s an idea. Make a list of a 100 things you want to do before you die and slowly try to tick them off as you get to do them. It doesn’t have to be overly ambitious or anything, just things that make you feel good about yourself. Things that you would have done, if you knew you were going to die very soon!
Here’s the story of 4 guys attempting an epic list of 100 things to do before you die on their website http://www.theburiedlife.com/

Ben, Dave, Duncan and Jonnie left home in the summer of 2006 to complete their list of 100 things to do before you die. For every item they accomplish they help a stranger with an item on their list. According to the website, 47 items have been crossed off the list so far and more than 50 strangers have been helped with their life goals. You can join the network and share your list on their website as well.

Perhaps, I’ve started my list with the most ambitious ones first! Nonetheless, I’m sure of what I want out of life. Whether I get there or not is a different story altogether. Like 50 Cent says “Get rich or die trying”! Here are 10 things from my list of things I want to do before I die. I’d consider myself lucky to tick off any.


1. See the Seven Wonders of the World with the man I love
2. Take at least 10 kids off the street and educate them
3. Make a lasting positive impact for my country & its people
4. Give my siblings everything I never had during my childhood
5. Help my parents fulfill at least one big dream of theirs
6. Do a PhD at Harvard
7. Learn at least 5 foreign languages
8. Have my own Newspaper column
9. Own a swimming pool
10. Be a good wife and mother

Try making your list and start ticking them off. Good luck fulfilling your dreams!
