Well, how much did you spend on Starbucks this

you’ve earned more gold stars on your Starbucks
Rewards card than you did on all of your papers

And how many hours have you spent scrolling
through Facebook or Instagram, liking and commenting posts like your life depended on it? Or
perhaps the sun has risen and set, all while you
binge-watch the latest season of Random Housewives.
The point is, there is always time and money available for your dreams. You may just not realize it.
If you’ve always wanted to paint, then paint! Give
up those lattes for two weeks and use the money
to enroll in an art course at a local community college or rec center. Then take that hour or two that
used to get swallowed up by Facebook or Netflix,
and go to the class!
Suddenly, you’ll be marking things off your life
to-do list left and right. And wonder what in the
world you were doing before.
Bucket list living doesn’t have to be a dream for another day. It can be your reality now.
So, stop waiting and start doing.
Because life is too short to live any other way.
