Ideas for your 100 dreams list

Ideas for your 100 dreams list

A few weeks ago I shared the idea of creating a list of 100 dreams. These are items you would like to achieve in your lifetime. The list isn’t meant to be full of only huge, audacious things like travelling to far off places, but can include anything that would be a meaningful achievement to you.

The post had a wonderful response from readers who like me, loved the idea of writing the list. Thank you to so many of you who kindly shared some items from your lists. I have collated them into this post to provide some inspiration for those of you who are not sure where to start or how to make it to 100 items (it is quite a challenge!).

Lulu

  • To treat myself as I would one of my beloved friends.
  • To maintain an ongoing list of books to read, films to see and plays to watch (and joyously tick them off).
  • To have a small, yet considered, repertoire of great cakes, biscuits or slices to bake for multiple occasions- from the school cake stall to celebrating for a friend’s birthday to that bring-a-plate occasion.
  • To ensure you get yourself in front of the ocean, regularly and at different times of the day to be overwhelmed by its utter majesty.
  • To frequently do something-anything- that makes your heart beat faster: something that scares you, exercise more, share a secret with someone.
  • To make every day special in some way. Wear that new top you just bought, start burning that candle, use the wedding crockery or smile at a stranger in passing.
