The Ten Year Bucket List; Goals, Hopes, Dreams.
7th February 2017Nobody knows what tomorrow has in store for them, let alone the next ten years. We love to hope though, and making goals whether big or small can be a great way to motivate yourself. I love the idea of a bucket list, but making it specifically for the next ten years feels more determined to me. If you’re like me, having goals will really inspire you and push you forward, driving you to conquer them one by one. I’m not perfect of course! I don’t always get there, but it helps. And trying is half the battle, y’know?
So here’s my big bucket list of things I’m hoping, dreaming and planning for the next TEN YEARS of my life (oh my god in ten years I’ll be almost 39, EEK!)…
(In no particular order, some of these are ‘biggies’ and some are really small ones!)
1. Write a book.
2. Meet an elephant up close (I’ve heard bad things about riding them).
3. Go canoeing.
4. Get a dog.
5. Get married and have the prettiest wedding.
6. Travel to Japan, Seattle, New York, Italy, Iceland and Canada.
7. Meet some of my heroes.
8. Climb a mountain
9. Surprise Mum with a trip somewhere.
10. Have my own brand of illustrative products in big chain; like Paperchase.
11. See Eminem perform live again.
12. Have children. My ideal scenario would be one boy, one girl. But two either way sounds good.
13. Organise a surprise party for someone.
14. Go to a spa.
15. Run a 5K.
16. See the Northern Lights.
17. Master an instrument.
18. Stand under a waterfall.
19. Put a love lock on Pont des Arts Bridge.
20. Volunteer somewhere.
21. Take up yoga classes.
22. Go to Disneyland and get a photo in front of the castle.
23. Give blood.
24. Go horse riding.
25. See a Ted Talk live.
Wish me luck!
What would be on your list?
I love this idea for a post! Good luck with all these things, I hope you manage to do them all. I’m with you 100% on going to Japan and going to see the Northern Lights!

Absolutely, it keep you on track! 🙂 Thanks so much Rach! x
Awesome list! I can see you having your own big chain of illustrations – go get ’em! Also, Seattle is kind of the best. I don’t normally plan very far in life, because I’m more of a take things as they come, and if I feel like doing something at the moment, I’ll do it. I guess you could say I’m pretty random, haha!

I’ve never had anyone organise a surprise party for me. *Hint*

I love the idea of this post, it makes the future seems so exciting! I’ve always loved the quote, ‘some of your best days are yet to come’ and I feel this really reflects that x

I love the Ted Talk one, my mum is obsessed with Ted Talks lol, she has this on hers too! I can totally see your style of designs in paper chase too! I’m sure you will achieve them all! 🙂 You should do the give blood one this year – I think it’s worth it just for the biscuit lol!

Aww thanks cutie! And good luck with yours too! x
I love reading other people’s bucket lists! I had a long-term one up until this year where I decided I was living too much for the “someday” and not enough while I could if that makes sense. I really hope you achieve every one of these-especially the Paperchase one because we all know how obsessed with your stuff I am haha xx
hahahaha thats because you’re a bloody gorgeous little gem! Thank you babe! xx
I love reading other’s bucket lists – I’d absolutely loved to see the northern lights!

Great list! I made my own list like this a few weeks ago, but mine is to do before I’m 30 – in 4 years. Eek! x http://www.aimeeraindropwrites.co.uk x
This is such a cool list! I definitely want to travel to New York too! I can’t wait until the day when I can go!! On the thought of running a 5K; I would definitely recommend ‘parkrun’ to you. They have hundreds across the country so there’ll probably be one within 10 minutes of you! It’s really great atmosphere and such an encouraging way to get running as there is no pressure to do it in under a certain time and you could even walk it. So if you want to run 5K, have a look on the parkrun website! Good luck with all your other goals too; it’s such an inspirational list of things to do!
