I was just watching The Buried Life and thought "This would be perfect for my blog." The Buried Life is a show on MTV that follows four friends who have a list of 100 things to do before they die. The show follows them as they travel across the country trying to complete all the tasks on their list. For everything they cross off their list, they find a stranger and help the stranger cross something off of their list. The guys wanted to help encourage people to think about and complete the things that they have on their list. It's made to motivate you to take a risk and chase after your dream. The show proves that nothing is impossible and if you put your mind and effort into something you can accomplish it.
Everyone has their own dreams, aspirations, or just random things they want to accomplish. I believe that this is part of your identity. The things you have a desire to do and accomplish makes up a part of who you are. Achieving these goals and dreams also becomes a part of you, something that you can be proud of. The experience that you gain while you are pursuing your dream shapes you as a person. It helps you find your place in the world and helps identify you. In the end it's the journey thats the destination.
