People are always making bucket lists of things they want to accomplish in their lives. I’m guilty of it too; see the Grand Canyon, go skydiving, return to Europe, etc. However, I think we focus too much on what it is we want to do that we forget all the cool things that we have done. When we reflect on our past, we can share our stories, inspire others, and form a more structured bucket list for down the road. The things we have done don’t need to be the most glamorous to have an impact on our lives. So, here is my reverse bucket list; maybe these are things you have already done, or maybe it will inspire you to add some new things to your own list, whichever kind you choose to make.
