Lists of Bests: greenjenni's "1001 Things To Do Before You Die" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/5189 We all have our own "1001 Things" list. This is mine. I live my life as if everyday could be my last. Too many people have quarter-life, mid-life, or death-bed crises, wishing about what they should have, could have, would have done. Not me. Along my way, if I inspire you to take life by the horns too, then I've accomplished one of my 1001 goals. Some goals are selfless, some are selfish. Some are small, some are big. Some are will change the world, some will just change you. But they're my goals. Things I want to do before I die. I consider it a part of the essential "Me" that I aspire to do things both great and small, to work towards the spiritual while I enjoy the material, and to laugh at the inconsequential while I pursue things of global importance. Take risks. Dream large, and small. Live well, but right. Make a list, and start checking it off.
