The Bucket List, starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson is a fantastic movie to watch if you want to reignite your passion for living.
In this heartwarming movie, these two men have been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Going through this ordeal, they develop a friendship and set off on an amazing adventure and travel around the world before they die, and in the process impart timeless wisdom for living.
Here are 5 big ideas from this movie
- Don’t wait – Don’t wait until tomorrow to do the most important things in your life.
- What did you want to be when you grew up? – This is a great starting point to help your figure out what your best life path is.
- Life isn’t about collecting money. It’s about collecting experiences. We came here to experience fun, freedom, and full self-expression. Money can be a means to this end, but it shouldn’t be the end itself.
- Heal your relationships – Beyond our relationship with ourselves, our relationships with other people (friends and family members) are our most valuable and important assets in life.
- It’s all about the joy – Joy is both the end and the means to a life well-lived. Below is a quote about joy from the movie.
“The ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven the Gods asked them two questions. Their answers determined whether they were admitted or not.”
1. Have you found joy in your life?
2. Has your life brought joy to others?
