Living without a vision is simply a waste of time. If you don’t get up every morning pumped up with energy to make your day the most amazing one, you don’t have an exciting life goals list.
This post is a result of an inspiring chat I had with Helene Schmit in Hubud, a co-working space in Ubud, a little jungle town in Bali, Indonesia. Before I met Helene, I was familiar with the “bucket list” or “list of things I want to do before I die” concept but never took the time to sit and write down my life goals.
“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.” – Robert Collier
Helene shared her own list and suggested me to check Tal Gur’s life goals list that sparked my curiosity to find out what I truly want to achieve in life. Forming this list took me a couple of days of thinking, brainstorming and rewriting until I could finally call it my “100 exciting things I want to do before I die” list.

Nice Tomas, I’ll be writing one this weekend too, thanks for the inspiration.
Do you however think that you have too much, completing many of these require a ton of focus, meaning working less on other goals.
Great goals though
Great list …of which I’ve done 10….
This is awesome 😉 Have a similar one but definetly stealing some from you!
Hi Tomas,
Perfect list! In your list I found very great ideas, which I was forget that I want to make 😉 And I want to ask you one thing. You wrote “Compete in fitness competition”, and this sport require a lot of passion and time to achieve that goal (you must train every day, eat healthy and regulary, sleep well …) . Also you want travel and a lot of different things. And how you adjust these subjects together that you can achieve all your goals?
Awesome! My favourite: “Switch my life with someone for 24 hours” 😀
