My bucket list – things to do before I die
I love inspiring people and one of the reasons I love inspiring people is that it forces me (in a good way) to be living what I’m speaking. To follow my dreams too so it is never a case of ‘do as I say / write and not as I do’. To date I feel so grateful that I can say I really have followed my dreams and I don’t sit here with any regrets. I wish there were 36 hours in every day or that I could have my twenties again because I would happily have pursued some other paths I know I would have also enjoyed. But honestly – it has been a great, rewarding and satisfying journey TO DATE. I want to die in a huff. To be ashes rather than dust. To live an incredible life without regret, to make a difference and to live a life that inspires others.
So with that in mind, here’s an ever evolving list of things to do before I die … my bucket list …
- visit every continent
- write a book
- become a lifeguard
- speak in front of more than 10,000 people
- become an Olympian and compete at the Olympics
- learn to play guitar
- go sea-kayaking through some of the south pacific islands
- learn to fly a helicopter
- drive and navigate around non-english speaking countries. Arrive in a country without knowing where to stay and figure it out.
- own my own horse and totally bond with it in natural horsemanship ways
- get a tube whilst surfing
- put my feet in every ocean
- Meet the woman of my dreams. Exceedingly, abundantly, more than I can ever ask or imagine. My soul mate. My best friend.
- feel half confident in the kitchen and even enjoy cooking
- be as fit as someone ten years my junior. Continue to do so.
- live in another country where English isn’t the first language
- Speak another language fluently
- Travel to a 3rd world country and visit projects that I know I have instigated in my philanthropic/charity based executive role. Know that I am making a massive difference in their lives. Stop, enjoy and be satisfied and content.
- Do an annual holiday with friends
- spent more time with grandma
- host a dinner party with some amazing people invited eg the likes of Nelson Mandella, Anthony Robbins, people that absolutely inspire me.
- Live in a ski resort and do a ski-season
- Feel like I’m one of those few that is actually living my dream. Not conformed by what society tells you you should do. Construct my own life.
- be a professional sportsman
- say grace at the table with my own family
- take more photos
- institute the jeremy rolleston cocktail half hour / jeremy rolleston date night
- live such an amazing, inspiring and influential life that they make a ‘This is Your Life’ about me.
- See someone get a cataract operation that I have paid for and go in blind and come out seeing !
- Run a 1 day seminar that is packed out and people get a lot out of and is successful (as measured by their response)
- Do something that people thought was absolutely left field and impossible for me to do and do it successfully – The Propeller Fashion Show
- Do a dirtbike trip with mates.
- So a surfing trip with mates.
- Get an incredible mentor in my life
- Get a massage every week
- Have a very random conversation to an old person in a pub, hear their story and realise they are amazing and that it was my privilege to have that conversation
Stay tuned !
