Are you afraid of revisiting your bucket list made at a younger age?
Do you see that diary every day but lack the courage to open it, sometimes even hiding it behind other books?
The reason is quite obvious. Your bucket list reminds you of your failures or your aspirations that need action.
Sometimes, you might excuse yourself by saying it’s no longer relevant because it was created during your younger years, driven more by dreams than reality.
However, your bucket list, no matter when it was made, represents your persona.
In fact, this list, regardless of how much it materialized, will always motivate you to dream more.
The problem is that we see the list as a source of failure or pressure to achieve.
Instead, we should view it as a snapshot of our past self.
Just as we don’t look the same now, our aspirations won’t be the same either.
Changing circumstances reshape us many times, and regardless of whether the changes are good or bad, we become an upgraded version of ourselves.
In the same way, we should keep upgrading our bucket list over time instead of hiding it away.
In other words, keep updating or reshaping your dreams but don’t stop dreaming.
Dreams are enough reason to keep going.
Old dreams will spawn new dreams, and eventually, one of these newer, more refined visions will find its moment and become reality.
