In the Bucket List with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, they both have cancer and have about a year to live. They write a list, the Bucket List, of what they want to do/accomplish or really live before they die.

I don’t think you have to wait til you are almost dying to actually live. Life is full of surprises, hurts, pain, love, emotions, trajedy, hilarious moments with friends and family and is better lived to the fullest.

In what areas are you waiting to live life to the fullest? Do you experience joy in your life right now? If not, why not? How can you experience joy? Have you helped someone else experience joy? If not, why not?

Don’t wait til impending death, something worth it comes along, or when you are out of debt, kids grow up, or whatever is holding you back, Live your life to the fullest.

You may not be a billionnaire like Jack’s character in the movie, but Morgan’s character had the love of a family. Jack needed to see that.

I don’t want to give the rest of the movie away, and you don’t have to wait for something to happen to experience life, you can right now.

You can hug your spouse, even if you are irritated at him for not doing his “honey do” list, hug him anyways; you can hug your teen/child or do something nice for them, just because. That will help bring joy in your own life.

Look at the things you can do in your life, in your situation right now. You can make things better, you don’t have to wait to start. It may seem wierd at first, but you will feel a change in your life.

Go ahead, create a list of the things that you’d like to do over the period of your life even helping another person feel good, do it, it will change your life.
