When I was a kid, a special book caught my eye in a bookstore.
It was called “100 Things To Do Before You Die”.
In that moment, a spark went off and my life was changed forever.
I grabbed the book and cracked it open.
It was full of all kinds of crazy ideas, foods to try, adventures to have, and more.
Time ceased to exist as I spent the next few hours fully immersed, devouring every bit of inspiration I could.
I had never been so magnetically drawn to anything in my entire life.
Suddenly, life felt so much richer and full of exciting possibilities.
I saw that the “realistic” boring normie lifestyle that was being beaten into my head at school didn’t have to be my fate.
Other options DID exist, as long as you had the creativity and balls to pursue them.
From that moment on, I started creating my own list.
I vowed to leave my mark on the world by turning my life into one of the greatest stories ever told.
Wasting my life living out some unremarkable role / character I didn’t care about seemed like the most disgusting thing imaginable.
Coincidentally, around that same time, a movie called The Bucket List was released. (Starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman).
It’s about 2 terminally ill cancer patients who pursue their list of things to do before they die.
And this got me thinking…
Why do people wait until they’re about to die before they wake up and really start living?
Why do they “sleepwalk” along “the path™” and act as if their limited time doesn’t matter?
Eventually, a crossroads is reached and reality must be answered to.
At the end of life, most people die 2 deaths.
- their actual death
- facing the death of the life they really wanted to live
The whole reason you were put on earth is to avoid #2.
I already did…
WILL YOU?
That’s what motivated me to create this website in the first place.
This website is me paying it forward by “passing that bookstore moment” on to you.
Nothing here is about telling you how to live…
It’s about giving you the tools so you can stimulate your mind and reflect upon what resonates with YOU.
This will allow you to create your own “greatest story” that maximizes the full alignment of who YOU are supposed to be.
Creating a bucket list is a highly personal and subjective endeavor, as it should reflect your individual interests, passions, and aspirations.
Here’s a list of 100 diverse and exciting ideas that you can use as inspiration to create your own personalized bucket list.
Feel free to adapt and modify these based on your preferences and goals:
1. Start A Website
Let’s face it.
Everything is online now.
If you don’t have a web presence, you are missing out on a LOT of opportunity.
You can start:
- A blog about your interests
- A site showcasing your talents
- A niche site selling affiliate products
- An ecommerce store
The list goes on.
At MINIMUM you should own www.(yourname).com.
This allows you to control the public narrative about your reputation.
Even if you don’t do anything with the domain, ownership allows you to protect it from bad actors.
2. Drive A Supercar
Supercars are a universal symbol of success, luxury, and performance.
Even if you don’t care about owning one, driving a supercar is a peak experience everyone should try.
3. Go White Water Rafting
4. Ride A Horse
Having a strong animal submit to your control is a very powerful experience.
5. Go Sailing
6. Go Deep Sea Fishing
Deep sea fishing is more intense than lake fishing or pier fishing.
It’s just you vs. the open elements.
P.S. there are no atheists in the open ocean.
7. Roadtrip Across America
Can be done with:
- RV
- Bicycle
- Motorcycle
- Your dream car rented

This is the holy grail of financial independence.

Most…. simply do not know shit about this.
12. Go Surfing
13. Go Kayaking
Can do this solo or with a friend.
14. Land a Kickflip
Watching skaters do tricks has always been one of the coolest and most awe-inspiring things to me.
“How do they move the board and make it flip like that?”
It looked like one of the greatest feelings in the world to flow with such intent, precision, command, and mastery.
That’s what inspired me to start learning those tricks myself.
Landing my first kickflip was one of the most unforgettable feelings/memories, and I hope you will experience the same.
15. Shoot A Gun
Try all the different kinds:
- Pistol
- Rifle
- Shotgun
- Automatic

Many have gone camping.
But how many have done it with no tent?
Sleeping out in the open away from the light pollution of the city is absolutely breathtaking.
24. Go Skiing / Snowboarding / Snowmobiling
25. Go Whale Watching
Bonus: if you have bigger balls, go swimming with whale sharks in the Gulf of Mexico

44. Live In A Different Country For A Few Months
Spending extended time in another country allows you to immerse yourself deeper.

Here’s a pic of me at the spot where The Notorious B.I.G. got shot + killed in LA.
47. Experience A Sensory Deprivation Tank

It’s a pod filled with water that cuts a person off from as many sensory inputs as possible.
The experience can make a person feel rejuvenated, ease anxiety, reduce pain, relax muscles, and stimulate epiphanies.
48. Fly First Class / Private

Every state has its own character, atmosphere, mindset, lifestyle and more.
By visiting every state, you get a much better understanding of both others and yourself.
55. Live In Your Dream City
Life is too short to spend it living in some weesh place with:
- Bad weather
- Shitty logistics
- A bad social scene
- And no attractive women.
This is why the city you choose to live in is one of the most important decisions you can make in life.
(And has a MAJOR impact on your overall happiness).
You want to live in the city that harmonizes with your vision + MAXIMIZES your energy / opportunities.
56. Have At Least 1+ Custom Suit Fitted
This is the bare minimum requirement for being a man.
If you don’t want to start with a bespoke suit from Savile Row, you can get one at Suit Supply and have it tailored.

71. Stay At A 5 Star Hotel
Don’t just dream about peak luxury… experience it for yourself.
Familiarize yourself with the upper-echelon of life and the FEELING of being rich.
Once you have that reference point, it stays with you forever.

It also makes you more confident in your own self-sufficiency.
73. Drink A $500+ Bottle Of Alcohol

74. Roll Solo To A Bar / Restaurant / Film / Venue
Very few people are comfortable rolling solo.
(Which makes it a superpower).
If you’ve NEVER rolled out solo, you have cut yourself off from tons of options and have put yourself into a prison of your own making.
Just think. How many non-ideal situations have you found yourself in just because you couldn’t create your own action?
- cockblocks
- too many weak links clogging up the scene
- list goes on
An easy way to 100x your power level (and separate yourself from all the weesh dudes) is to roll out solo just ONE time.
You’ll force yourself to step up your social skills (and will learn a lot).
Now… imagine if you do this multiple times a week.
Being comfortable rolling solo should be your absolute baseline.
From that position, you can start adding things that IMPROVE it further.
Otherwise… you’re acting out of scarcity.
Being comfortable being alone = Being comfortable with who you are = Being comfortable with LIFE.

You are living in a smaller reality until you conquer your fear(s).
Just think about how many opportunities and life experiences your fears are causing you to miss out on.
And the crazy thing is?
Fear is an illusion anyway.
F.E.A.R. = False expectations appearing real.
The good news is, you can escape this self-created prison by expanding your comfort zone.
82. Attain Your Dream Residence
If your crib isn’t fly enough to shoot a music video in, you got work to do.

Deadwood is all the bloat you’ve accumulated in life.
- Old fears.
- Weakness.
- Addictions.
- Dead weight.
- Fake friends.
- Your old narrative.
- Mainstream programming.
- Beliefs that don’t serve you.
- Emotional connection to the past.
Your mind is like any other garden.
If you’ve never cleaned it out, it will be overgrown with all sorts of nasty things.
The good news is, you only have to do a major overhaul once.
(Take out the trash).
From there, all you have to do is trim the weeds.
You don’t really become a man until you burn your deadwood.
(Integrate your shadow via trial by fire).
Most… never do this.
Most… are also 95% deadwood.
Yes it hurts.
Yes other things fall away with it.
But the alternative?
100000000x worse.
Think of how the mystical phoenix regenerates itself by bursting into flames.
Without fire, it can’t rise anew from the ashes.
To step into the new, you must first destroy the old.
88. Get Paid For Your Passion
One of the best feelings in the entire world is making $1+ dollar from something you’re passionate about.

etc.
Who knows… you might even be able to turn it into a career.

94. Build A Strong Family + Circle Of Relationships With Absolute G’s
Life is too short to have fake friends who fold under pressure.
The people you keep around you have a massive impact on your quality of life + life experiences.
It isn’t about WHAT you do… it’s about WHO you do it with.
95. Build A Strong Life Setup / Positioning
Most of your success in life comes down to how you set up your life structure.
This allows you to get more by doing less.
Until you do this, you will be struggling to get the results you truly want.
96. Fly With A Jetpack
What used to be science fiction is now reality.

Many fail at this completely.
Some accomplish this to a degree.

Conclusion
There you have it.
100 things to do before you die.
If you accomplish even a small % of this list, you will have lived a more exciting life than most.
I hope this inspired you to start making your own list and to get the absolute most out of your time here on earth.
Very truly yours,
-M.I.
