Things to do in a lifetime

Lifetime is an undefined and unpredictable time period. It is fast and happens all of a sudden. Its not possible to do all the things in a lifetime but whatever time we had in our fate we have to spend it very carefully. Life is a journey and it would not be worthwhile without some lasting experiences. Now maybe not everyone will like to define their life by performing or participating in particular activities as people are subjected to their own opinions but there are some things which are a must in a lifetime and missing out on them would be far from pardonable.

Thus here is a list of a few things which one might like to add to their bucket list.

  • Live alone: living alone is a must have experience as it gives one opportunity to explore themselves and help in being self-dependent..
  • Buy dinner for your parents: Our parents do a lot of things for us in their lifetime, the least we can do in our lifetime is to buy dinner for them, it will not only make them proud but you will get to spend some quality time with them too.
  • Try an adventure sport/adrenaline sport: Be it skydiving, bungee jumping or water rafting, try atleast one such sport in your lifetime. They may sound scary at first but will definitly help in overcoming fear.
  • Have a pet: Choose any domestic pet of your liking such as dogs, cats, fish e.t.c, pets can teach you a lot of life lessons.
  • Try stargazing: Now, this is something which does not necessarily involve you leaving your house premesis. This can easily be achieved on your terrace on a clear weather night. But if you want to further then stargazing on a mountain top or during camping is also recommended.
  • Travel solo: This is something which many people are afraid to attempt as it requires a lot of courage, motivation and responsibility but once you overcome your initial fear, solo travelling will provide you with tonn of exposure.
  • Try trekking: Trekking helps you bond with nature and spending some time with nature may help reduce your stress, provide you with a relaxing time and some peace in your life.
  • Experience aquatic life: There are different ways of experiencing marine life such as snorkelling, scuba diving, deep-sea diving. Some of them don’t even require swimming as a skill.
  • Visiting a World Wonder: There are 7 wonders in the world and seeing at least one of them is a must. If the whole world is raving about it then there must be something special about it, right?, so go see it with your own eyes and have a time of your life
  • Backpacking: It can be your first step towards minimalism and you’ll be shocked to see how few things you need for day to day survival. 
  • Volunteer : pick an NGO of your choice or it can also be a charity and do some volunteer work. It will teach you selflessness and help you empathize more. It will help you give back to the world.
  • Travel to a foreign country: We all love our home but getting out of our comfort zone is necessary to push our limits and see how well we can adapt a new place. It will help us learn about new cultures and maybe make new friends
  • Learn a new language: A new language is a great way to learn about a new culture but it may also come handy when travelling to the country with said language.
