Whenever I hear the term "bucket-list" what always floods my head is the big dreams I intend to achieve, the great future I see ahead of me. That perfect image I've created in my head that suits my dream life. Often I think about the luxurious lifestyle I want to live. Growing up I had these pictures in my head that I've created of my future. What my future will look like and the lifestyle she will be living.
As I grew older I got to realize that life isn't all about dreaming, life goes beyond those amazing and spectacular dreams in our heads. Sometimes, our dreams can be the little things around us that we forget to notice most of the time, recently I sat down to reminisce on how far I've come, this year started great for me because I got to do something that I've been scared of doing for a long time, and letting go of that thing has thought me alot about myself and the major thing it thought is "I can do anything if I put my mind to it".
Now I'm truly convinced enough that the mind controls the body though the body can be stubborn sometimes. I didn't really take this "bucket-list" thing seriously until I saw the movie "The Bucket List" The movie really got my head spinning around certain things. Now here comes my bucket list "hurray!" Sorry, I'm a little bit excited that I got to write about this. The first on my list would be "Travel solo to an African country" I recently developed this particular item on my list and I can't tell why it became number one.
Yeah, I want to take a trip to any African country close to my nation, I want to experience the lifestyle in other nations despite being in Africa but at least outside Nigeria. I want to see and witness other people's culture, learn a new language, and connect with people. The second on my list is "build my finances" This year, which started with me setting a financial target for myself and it's something I want to strictly adhere to. Because the previous year ended with me spending like a rich kid "despite being in the middle class" I don't want to disguise myself so people won't see me for something I'm not. Now "being rich isn't bad" but at this moment I am not that rich.
Finally on my list would be "get closer to my creator" Now this is the most important, last year I know deep down I didn't get too close to my creator despite going to church and all that, I still feel a little bit of disconnection. So this year I told myself I'm going to get closer to him no matter what. I'm going to create time to talk to him every night before I close my eyes to sleep. And lately, it's been going smoothly and then it all boils down to the mind doing its thing. The mind works in mysterious ways when trained perfectly.
Thanks for reading 🧡
