If you are like me you probably imagined your 50th birthday being super special where you celebrate with many friends at an exotic location. Never in a million years could I have imagined that age 50 would sneak up on me so quickly. I still remember what it was like being a teenager, it was not special or amazing. I just stayed out of trouble. What about you what can you remember from when you were younger? Is there any specific season in life that stands out more than the others?

In this post, I want to invite you to get out a pen and paper and write down all the things that you wanted to accomplish before turning 50. Then make a shortlist of the most important or significant ones so that you can set goals to achieve them. I will also share with you the top 50+ things that I would like to do and you may also want to do or experience some of these yourself so let's do it. Why Bother With a List? Reading this you may be wondering what is the big deal and why should you or anyone else for that matter be bothering to write a 50th birthday bucket list. Recently I remember reading a quote from Mark Cuban which goes like this: "Today's the youngest you are ever going to be. You've got to live like it. You've got to live young every day."Mark Cuban The truth is I never saw life like that before. I postponed so many things and say that I will do it when I have more time, more money, have a life companion, etc. In fact, those days may never ever come. I remember speaking with my Mother when she turned 70 and she said the following words: "I am not 70 for only one day, I will be 70 for a whole year so you have lots of time to celebrate my birthday" In less than 3 months my Mother was dead and I was in shock. It was a very speechless experience. I promised myself not to postpone anything anymore. If I can do it today let me do it already. photo by Matthew Henry Bucket List Ideas for Women Now that we understand why a 50th birthday bucket list is important it is time to get writing these bucket list ideas for women. Grab a pen and paper and let's make a list together. I have decided to write things into 14 different categories. I must be an organisation freak and I don't even know it. It is so much better to do it this way for me because I want to make a wide impact. Here are those categories: * Travel* Business* Body* Love* Spiritual* Charity* Make* Take* Volunteer* Improve* Help* Mental* Learn* Mini-retirements As you can see from this list I want to experience a well-rounded growth in 4-5 areas including mental, physical, emotional, financial and social. The things on this list will not only benefit me but it will also have a positive impact on others in my spheres of influence as well as my passion projects.
