Each of us have simple little things on our bucket lists, things that we would be okay with if we never did, but there will always be a small part of us that wants to do those things.
They could be as simple as wanting to see a sunrise or sunset on the beach, or they might be a little more complex like building a blanket fort in your room and watching movies (have you ever tried, it is a lot harder to build on then it looks).
Recently I have been thinking about the little things that are on my bucket list. Why are we not trying to do the little things that we want to do? Why do we think that the silly little dreams that we have do not matter? When did we grow up and stop doing things for ourselves?
We should start to do the little things that we always dreamed about doing. Let's act like little kids again and live out our simple dreams. Our big dreams take time, and may be out of reach right now, but the little ones, they are right within reach. The little ones can be things that are around the corner, so why are we wasting our time and not going after them?
We can live out our small dreams while we are working towards making our big dreams happen. You can stay up to watch the sunrise on the beach, I've done it and trust me, it is so worth it. You can go see the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center. You can go for a ride in a pedicab in the city. You can do whatever it is that makes you happy.
Go after those smaller, littler dreams that may seem so insignificant. The dreams that seem if you never had the opportunity to go after them, you wouldn't. It may seem like never going after them might not matter to you, but if you do go after them, you will have those memories forever, and isn't having the memory better than putting off your dreams for no good reason? You may think that you are wasting your time going after them small dreams when you should be trying to work on the bigger dreams, but the smaller dreams are what fuel and drive you to keep going and pursuing the bigger dreams. So go after the smaller ones while you are going after the bigger ones.
