This site sounds really awesome. I'm definitely going to sign up.
It reminds of me of 2 other things that I've heard of:
1. The 10 by 10 Challenge
All you have to do is share 10 changes you want to commit to, and Aviva Insurance will donate $10 in your name to Free The Children to help develop 10 full communities overseas, and volunteer 1 million hours.
Your commitments can be as simple as: turning off the lights, hugging people more, helping your neighbour etc.
My 10:
1. Purchase fair trade coffee
2. Re-connect with an old friend
3. Travel somewhere new
4. Help a neighbour
5. Hold the door
6. Bake homemade treats
7. Look for local produce
8. Cut down on packaging
9. Grow a vegetable garden
10. Unplug appliances
2. The Buried Life
I'm not sure how many of you have heard of MTV's new show The Buried Life. It's a top notch show. Below is the description from MTV, but in a nutshell these 4 guys from Canada made a list of 100 things they wanted to do before they died and set out to do them. For every thing they attempt to cross off their list, they help someone else accomplish something on their list. Some of the things the show covers:
-Attend a party at the Playboy mansion
-Tell a joke at a stranger's wedding
-Ask out the girl of your dreams
-Deliver a baby
-Compete in a krump battle
-Play basketball with Obama
-Tell a joke on late night TV
-Throw a badass party

If you had one day left to live what would you do? Ride a bull? Throw a legendary party for everyone you love? Vegas? Now if you had your whole life to live, would you lose that drive, or would your list just keep getting longer?
This is the real life adventure of four young men on an epic quest to prove that anyone can do anything. With cameras rolling, Duncan, Ben, Jonnie and Dave set out with a list of 100 dreams: everything from Kissing Rachel McAdams to Getting in the Guinness Book of World Records to Giving Away a Million Dollars to Falling in Love.
But they also made a promise to themselves. For every goal they achieve on their list, they help a stranger do something on theirs.
At each stop, they challenge strangers with the ultimate question: "What do you want to do before you die?" The boys help people of all ages, from all places, discover, organize and attempt their wildest dreams. With each new city or town comes a new set of challenges as the team races to make the impossible happen, all before leaving on their next adventure.
This series explores the exciting wonders of human potential and the exhilaration of going after one's dreams-those dreams too often buried by everyday life. This is the incredible and hard to believe true story of a journey called The Buried Life.
It's all in the question: "What do you want to do before you die?" |
