I hope you have 1) a lot of spare time on your hands and 2) a healthy amount of discretionary income because if you’re going to complete all 39 of these activities it’s going to take a whole lot of both.
According to a new study taken in Britain, just one in five of people believe that they are living their lives to the fullest. Over half the people surveyed said that they were jealous of those people who seem to have more exciting lives than themselves. (Maybe stay off Facebook and that would number would decline. Nothing non-exciting EVER happens to your friends on there. Just sayin’.)
Damien Dally for Jeep Renegade who commissioned the report, said (via the Mirror): “Just 18% of Brits feel that they are living life to the full, and with two thirds claiming that they would be more reckless in life if they had their time again, we’re at risk of a life full of regrets.
“Whilst many of us will never become a millionaire, that needn’t prevent us living a fulfilled life, brimming with adventure. It’s about having the inclination and desire to do something out of our comfort zone that will ensure we don’t look back and wish we had lived life differently.”
Of course in a perfect world we’d all be beautiful, rich, have loads of free time and reality TV would be a distant memory, but sadly for most of us, the world isn’t very perfect. But I guess that doesn’t mean we can’t try to make our lives better, right?
Here are the 39 activities the study came up with to help us lead more fulfilling lives.
