100 Things - Bucket List 2025

In June 2023 I posted my "100 Things Bucket list" after being inspired by a Podcast I'd listened to called 'the Brave Table'.

The episode is titled "How to live a fulfilling life and set meaningful goals" and is in conversation with Sebastian Terry. "I asked myself, ‘If I were to die today, could I say that I wouldn’t have changed anything?’, and just like that, I realised I was really unhappy. I didn’t have any purpose, goals, or know who I was. This was my a-ha moment. What could be more important than feeling happy?"

In June 2023 hadn't managed to come up with a list of 100 things though, leaving 33 "to be decided's".

I looked back over this recently, realising I had ticked off quite a few of those things without realising it! And have finally made a list of 100 things (without cheating and adding things I've already done!)
