Having a purpose — something that brings you meaning and joy — is one of the key elements to a good quality of life. A bucket list may be one way to help you visualize what your aspirations are and how those align with your personal values. Keiro anonymously asked community members, “What is one thing you would like to do before you pass away?” We received many common, as well as unique, responses. Interestingly, some participants responded that they did not have a bucket list, because they had accomplished everything they wanted in life.
Here are a few of the responses we received:
