Have you created your Bucket List yet?

Life is just a routine unless we learn to break out of the “normal”. In order to appreciate the true beauty of life we must take a moment to take in what has been given to us. This gift called life. How often do you stop to look at the beauty of our nature? How often do you take a moment to actually enjoy your meal? Do you take that extra minute just to appreciate the beauty of life and your surroundings? Seems as though the more we take on the less we enjoy life. Too often I see people rushing through their meals because they are in a hurry to get somewhere or worst they are too preoccupied with what is going on in social networks. Seems like we are navigating through life on auto pilot where all we do is wake up, grab breakfast to go, rush through traffic, get to work, get to school, get chores done and go to sleep to do it all over again. Why is it that we allow ourselves to become hostages of our own lives? I think that everyone should put their phones down, shut off all interferences and enjoy family time. Or time with friends without having the urge to update Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc..  Get out and experience different things.  Life is out there and it is waiting of us to get out of our bubble to enjoy it. I believe everyone should have a bucket list. We simply cannot leave this world without wonderful experiences. Write them down, break out your routine and do them. No matter how big or small your goals may be if you set them in writing you are more likely to accomplish them. My goal this year is to continue to scratch off a few more off my list, and to encourage everyone to create their own ones.
