One morning I woke up and realized my thirties were fast approaching, and I had absolutely nothing to show for my twenties (I can be dramatic). Call it the onset of my quarter-life-crisis. That morning I wrote out a list of all the things I would have loved to accomplish before I was 25. I ate breakfast and realized that I'm only 26, and I have PLENTY of time to make the most out of years 27, 28 and 29...
This was the beginning of my list of Thirty "Somethings" I want to accomplish before turning the "big 3-O."
Travel to South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia...yes all the continents.
Take my family to Jamaica for Christmas.
Get engaged, plan a wedding, get married ^__^
Learn to sew.
Volunteer somewhere consistently.
Write a book.
Visit another country...alone.
Go all Apple everything (iPhone on deck!)
Buy stocks.
Invest in a Burberry trench coat.
Find my signature fragrance (I'm now leaning towards Burberry Body)
Become a filmmaker.
Draw/paint/otherwise create something for my walls.
Live alone (this is pretty much done!)
Fully decorate my own space.
Print pictures from my camera and hang them up!
Teach a college-level course.
Buy a quilted Chanel purse.
Make another best friend (it's different when you meet people as an adult).
Learn to play piano by ear...for realsies.
Move to a new city (extra points if it's in a new country).
Dye my hair.
Learn to swim ASAP.
Train for a marathon.
Go ziplining, snorkeling, skiing and surfing.
Create and/or lead out in a church ministry.
Adopt a grandparent.
Memorize 30 new scriptures.
Learn Spanish and Portuguese.
Throw an AMAZING 30th birthday party!!!

Okay so maybe they aren't all "little" somethings, but I can do them all if I stay focused and don't waste time sitting around the house. Or taking naps. I can't wait until I turn thirty and can post a huge version of this list somewhere at my party with EVERYTHING crossed off. That would just be perfect =)

This is a great idea Koos I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteGosh I'm only 20 and this list makes ME panic haha
Hope you get through this,
God bless!

My pastor just motivated us with a message titled "Big Ask". I think we tend to forget that as a child of GOD we have full permission to ask our Father for BIG things (as you have above).
ReplyDeleteI hope you attain all your 30 somethings and that each year leading to your BIG 30 is something spectacular and memorable.
I'm 25. I'm making a list soon. Well more like a life binder. I stole the idea from allthatglitters21. I understand not napping. But if I'm not sleep, I'm wasting my life away watching YouTube. I will post it on my blog smilingbrownlegs.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteDon't be surprised if some of my list is copied from yours. I like your ideas. So happy blogging!
