Truth be told, no one lives forever. While we have dwelled on the habit of putting off things for a later stage, in many cases that stage never comes to the forefront. Many don’t even want to contemplate on mortality issues but a mere thought on the whole thing will make anyone put in some contemplation on the topic.
Time passes by and some things remain undone. However, most of the stuff is in our direct control and the only thing required is some first-hand initiatives in order to kick start the event. For most people, unfortunately, creating a will is the only thing that comes immediately under the issue of “things to do before dying”.
Contrary to popular beliefs, all the tasks that classify as “must do before dying” need not be so magnificent and over the moon type things. While there may be some grand events in the list, one must forget some of the simple everyday things that we keep on ignoring day after day. Well then, here is some retrospection offered on the 15 must do things before leaving the earth. The topics come from both everyday issues and grand ideas.
Estate Planning
A simple task of estate planning that most of us keep evading can be of great help for your loved ones. Estate planning is not just for the billionaires out there. Whatever you have including your jewelry, your favorite pictures, clothes, bank account, personal property, retirement plans and everything else comes under your estate. If there is no legal document describing how these things are to be distributed then the state law will decide how your stuff will be distributed among near and dear ones, which of course, might eventually be in a manner not desired by you. Take out the time and make your succession plans. If you own some real estate property, then it’s better for you to have a sound real estate and insurance plan.
Making Up On Relationships Wherever Possible
Resolving sour relationships, especially where you are at fault, can provide immense pleasure. When you know that a simple handshake or a smile or a “sorry” can literally change the situation, burn the ego and have a great time.
Enjoying The Beautiful Sunrise And Sunset Over Ayers Rock
Ayres rock commonly known as Uluru is an amazing natural wonder that covers approximately 3.3sq km area. This natural wonder offers a most spectacular sunset scene to the tourists all over the world. If you ever been to Ayers Rock, you will never forget the wonderful and amazing natural lightshow where the color of the light naturally changes from red to orange.

So, plan a trip to the Uluru park and watch how fascinating sunrise and sunsdet show at least before you die. If possible take someone you love and have beautiful and peaceful moments all along.
A Memorable Family Photo
Shockingly, many of us don’t even have a family photograph wherein all the members, near and close ones, pose in for the much treasured photograph. It seems to be an easy task but invokes a hell lot of nostalgia every time you see those pictures. Call on the photographer, organize the photo shooting event and look how everyone will come along enthusiastically. That big family photograph in your living room or study will always remind of treasured moments and something to think good about amidst all the chaos out there.
Picnic With Loved Ones
Organize a picnic among friends, relatives and others you may want to invite for spending a good time. Just some time outside, eating in the lap of nature is enough to propel an array of good feelings. There is something magical about eating in the lap of nature and evokes great pleasure and fun. If you have a great natural spot to visit the fun will rise exponentially but even a neat and clean place outside such as parks and open fields or a riverside setting has the potential to be classified as great picnic spots.
A Jungle Safari
When it comes to jungle safari, it has to be somewhere in Africa amidst those huge daunting grasslands. Watch out the carnivores in action, taking on their prey. There are several facets to a jungle safari and even spending the night out there in the jungle is going to be a mind-blowing experience.

Don’t Miss An Eclipse
The next time you hear about a complete solar or lunar eclipse, don’t miss the event. Watch out the fascinating phases of sun and moon so as to witness this beautiful astronomical activity. There are some pretty advanced technical labs out there wherein one can witness these events in desolate areas so as to have a crystal clear view of the whole event. It’s true that not everyone can get a chance to witness a complete solar or lunar eclipse because such an astronomical activity is relatively rare. According to scientists, total solar or lunar eclipse can only happen after every two years and it can only last for seven minutes and it can only be seen in remote corners. So, it is indeed a difficult task to watch these activities live but if you have proper planning and extremely sensitive astronomical equipment, then you can easily enjoy this activity.

You can also visit places like Costa Rica, Japan, Hawaii, Italy and Indonesia to see one of the most active volcanoes of the earth.
Australian Coral Reef
Watch out the beautiful coral reef on the Australian coast. The whole of Australian tour is gorgeous but even if you have visited just the coral reef, there is enough pleasure to be taken along. Look inside the beautiful marine life that has developed along with the reef. If possible contribute towards the betterment and preservation of coral reefs as the entire place is in danger due to pollution and climate changes.
Publish Your Book
Don’t let the writer inside you go down without a fight. Most have some unpublished works stuffed out there in the closet waiting to find the right kind of appreciation. Take out those manuscripts and publish the works. You never know what comes out eventually. In case you are not able to find the right kind of publisher, self publishing is always an option to consider. There are ample numbers of self-publishing agencies that will help in creating just the right of launch required for your own book.
Be An Anchor
Public speaking may be your biggest fear but it has the potential to provide some of the most satisfying moments you are ever going to have in life. Yeah, there are butterflies in the stomach but those will go away once you are on stage. Don’t let the anchor inside you live a life of mediocrity.
