After watching these guys (Buried Life) I realised that life is moving faster and faster and lets face it we all say "I'm going to do this when I get older" or "When I have enough time" but we are old and time is flying by. So I sat down and started creating my bucket list - not the bucket list to do before you die but the bucket list of things I want to do to feel like I have lived! I'm going to be adding to this until I reach 100 and everyone I cross off I will replace.
Think the best thing I have read in terms of quotes lately is this one "Attack life, it’s going to kill you anyway."
