How many of the things you put on your 2020 Bucket List has changed course? (My Bucket List 2020)
What is on your Bucket List?
I initially thought it would be better not sharing my “100 Things to do this Year” list because I planned to reveal each item as and when I accomplished them. But with the proceedings of this year, I decided that maybe noting the items here, would be a form of manifestation in hopes that it will come true, and I would have the opportunities of making each of them a reality. Even if it’s not this year.
What also helped in the decision to note these here, was the hope that it would inspire you to make a list and turn them into reality as well…

When I started this Bucket List, I ran out of things to note and I thought I will never get to 100, but now that I have gone through so many different types of things, from small to big, and I could even go beyond these. Like trying to go to bed earlier and working on a healthier sleeping pattern and night-time routine. I also really think about some of the other things I would love to learn and experience. There are endless possibilities when you actually put your mind to it.
I thought that I may as well scrap my 2020 Bucket List because of corona and lockdown restrictions, but if you’ve read my list, there are a bunch of things I can still tick off my list, right in the comfort of my home. This year has not been a waste, unless we deem is so.
With all this added time to spend with ourselves, thinking, imagining how different our lives could be, we should spend out time making every effort to actually do these things.
I hope that seeing this post encourages you all to set goals and live life to the fullest. We don’t always have the opportunities to make it all happen, especially in the times that we plan for, but sometimes life surprises us and grants us something even better than thought was possible. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and always in the right seasons of our lives. We just need to persevere and be patient. Trust in God’s timing because it’s never imperfect.
Go get ’em!
