hej Andreas
Måske er dine drømme nærmere end du tror.
D
I am inspired by the idea of creating such a list. I will let you know when I follow through and I will share my list. As I read your list I found myself checking off a number of my own experiences and crossing off whatever goals I do not share.
The concept of investigating my values through such a list and setting personal goals appeals to me. I do not know the source but is there not a famous quote "an unexamined life is not worth living?"
Since you clearly are an analytic(sp) sort perhaps you might want to look over your list for themes which give you insights to your mission on this planet!
Awesome list. I kept on mentally adding in additional things I'd do.
It's adorable that you've already checked off #52 (never do street drugs). You're dead?
If you do drugs tomorrow, then what? Add it back to the list or strike it entirely?
Also, street drugs by which area's standards/laws? Does misusing legal drugs count? What happens if the laws change? What about those "evil" psych meds (wink, wink)
I'm so confused!
I'm just yanking your chain. Keep on plugging. You're awesome.
Most amazing list! You never cease to surprise me, Andreas. Here you are, the King of businesses, and you have time to plan out your 100 things to do before u die, and you've done a bunch, already! Good job :)
Regarding #86, 'fed peeled, seedless grapes'...I have memories watching my dear mom seed and peel the grapes specifically for 'Uncle Tim'; as he 'liked' them that way. Every Sunday she turned-out Our (always-the-same)Favorite Dinner (desert would vary) AND a mountain of grapes...fit for a king, made for US (Tim started it!). It was but a 'taste' of the amazing ways she made each of us feel important and special to her. As a child I noticed her gift of giving but was mostly in-AWE of her seemless ability (magic, it seemed) to deliver precisely 'WHAT' and 'WHEN' any of us needed it. Some 30 years later, this-mother discovered, moms are intuitive! But, it takes much more than magic to continually produce those lovely meals......how DID she do it?
