Last week I wrote about my bucket list and the things I want to do before I die. Many of us have these lists and they are a fun way to get some more adventure in your life. But often times we forget about how much we have already accomplished. It’s human nature to think of what we haven’t done instead of focusing on what we have done. But it is important for all of us to realize just how awesome we are.

After I sat down and wrote my bucket list I then wrote my Bucket List – Completed. This is a list of things that were on my bucket list once upon a time and I have already checked off. When I actually wrote out some of the things I have accomplished in my life I felt quite proud. If you have self esteem issues this is a great way to pick yourself up. I really think this is something everyone should do on occasion.
