Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. - Napoleon Hill

Erica and I just got back from the movie, The Bucket List. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson play the characters Carter Chambers and Edward Cole. Both have terminal diagnoses and decide to fulfill together what they call a bucket list; i.e. things you want to do before you kick the bucket.

The acting was superb and writing was clever, introspective and personal. There are many moving parts to the film. Some will see this movie as predictable but they are missing the message. And that’s to not wait until you run out of time to do and say the things you want or need to do. Don’t wait. Time flies by and goes even faster the older you get.

I’ve had a similar list for many years, but I have a less than a clever title. I simply call it my “100 Things To Do Before I Die” list. I’ve already completed many items and still have many to go. I’m going to bring out that list again, review it, modify or delete some and then add a few more. I’ve written before that I don’t want any what ifs at the end of my life. I want answers regardless of the outcome.

How about you? Do you have some things you want to do or try? Do you have some things that need to be said or done? How about writing them down and start fulfilling those hopes and dreams now. The only requirement is that you try.

Have a great day!
