THOSE THINGS I WOULDN'T WANT TO DO.
This is surely an interesting topic for the Hive Learners community this week and it's a sweet thing to start with on a Monday.
We have many times heard of the word Bucket List before and we all do have them listed somewhere to achieve before we die. We want to build our own houses, visit different continents, meet someone from another country etc. Bucket lists are those lists we want to achieve before we leave this world and they are just like our goals to achieve.
The Anti-bucket list is the opposite of it. These are lists we want to avoid and the activities we will never do at all cost and they are like disciplining ourselves not to break the promise of not doing them. When we make this kind of lists, it means we are being sincere to ourselves and ready to stand by our words. This means nothing should compromise it.
STOP BEING GRATEFUL AND IGNORING MY SPIRITUAL LIFE.
All my life, I have always been grateful to God and He has never stopped blessing me with more. A grateful heart is a happy heart. I will never stop being grateful to God and ignore my spiritual life. Every day of my life, I have always wanted more closeness with God and a deeper relationship with Him and so, I won't stop.
QUIT LEARNING
Learning is a permanent change in an individual and we keep learning till we die. Learning never stops and one who stops learning is a dead man already and a fool.
I will not quit learning and acquiring knowledge because it makes me grow each day in wisdom. Learning takes place when we read books, listen to lectures or conversations, watch the news, learn new words etc.
IGNORE MY HEALTH
Health is wealth and if we don't take care of our health by being conscious of what we eat and do, it will affect us and we may lose our lives along the line. What is the purpose of the money you have made when you cannot spend it? What is the purpose of your success when you are lying on the sickbed and can't enjoy it especially when you are being laid in the casket? So, I wouldn't want to ignore my health and keep chasing after everything.
SPENDING TIME WORRYING
Why worry over things we cannot control? We only have control over those things that we can do but things beyond our capacity and ability, we don't need to get worried over them but to move on with other things in life.
Worrying only causes sickness to the body and it makes one forget about the good things around us, focusing on the bad sides of life. I don't want to continue worrying over things that will eventually take my gaze off the pleasant things of life because there is more to life than I can ever think of.
FIGHT WITH MY SIBLINGS
One thing I have always loved is the unity and cooperation among my siblings and me. We do everything together and I will never fight with them. Though it is normal for misunderstanding to happen, it won't take long before we settle it. I don't want us to become each other's enemies. When we fight, I forgive them and it ends there.
COMPARE MYSELF TO OTHERS
I have come to understand that we all are different and our timings are different. Everyone is lucky, the time and ways are just different. So, why would I compare myself to others when I know my time will come for me to be great and successful?. Instead of comparing myself, I can choose to celebrate others' wins and be happy for them while I am patient with mine.
GIVE UP
One who gives up has already believed that he is worthless and can never achieve anything. I don't want to give up because Thomas Edison failed 1000 times and never gave up. I am a failure if I give up, so I won't allow that.
STOP TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD
Many of us have allowed our situations, circumstances and problems of life to take our eyes off the beauty we can actually see around us and so, we miss a lot of things and fun in it. There are beauties in nature, landscape, everywhere but when we are overshadowed by our circumstances, we fall out of such beautiful moments. I don't want to be too carried away in worries and blind my eyes to see the real beauty in this world. So, I will never stop seeing the beauty therein in this world.
Thanks for reading
These are vital things we mustn't slip off with, health, family, personal life, spiritual life are really important and we mustn't take them lightly. I believe that can definitely get through with these things because you are strong lady.
You are right. We need to be careful not to allow them stray away from us. Do away with things not good for you while you keep to those things you feel are good for you. Thank you, George 😎
You are welcome Princess, it would be good to do things that wouldn't affect our lives negatively in the long run.
All of them are perfectly suits and said!
Worrying is something i also want to throw in anti bucket list and i can relate with the fight with sibling part happens sometimes time but still we can't live without each other!
I personally don't like people who compare themselves or parents who start comparing their children with others.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Have a Great week ahead.
Yes, issues with transpire between siblings....that is normal but we can settle it amicably within each other than allowing it to turn to something else and we would become enemies. We don't want that to happen though. Thank you for stopping by.
Yeah this is real. If I could I also wanted to study for the rest of my life haha
Yes oo
Everyday, we keep learning to get updated with what is going on around us.
The comparison is what I detest so much. We are different created and unique, we have our time and season. Comparing oneself with others is just a way of telling God that He created you wrongly
That is the truth you just spilled out. God has created us beautifully and we should not compare ourselves to others because we are all different.
You got got anti bucket list
This one really got me. We shouldn't even think of stop thanking God in any situation we find ourselves
Thanksgiving brings more blessings
Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece
Yes oo, when we stop thanking God, He will stop doing more for us. Thank you for stopping by.
You are welcome
How is it possible not fight with one sibling? Because i know we are always very annoying.
Yes, this is why I said it happens but we must never allow it go long before coming back to unite again.

You're welcome @princessbusayo! Have a nice day 😊👍
How does one leave without God, that life won't be fun at all o
No fun without Christ. Thank you 😊
You've done well.
Learning is an important part of human life. As you've rightly said, we keep learning every day, even till we die. Learning helps to feel happier and more fulfilled in life and career. I also love learning. I make sure I read at least 2 novels in a month. And I must say, it has really helped me.
Again, you're right; health is wealth. What is the use of money when we are not healthy? That is why we should take good care of our health by eating well, exercising, drinking enough water, and going for regular checkups.
Comparing myself to others is absolutely ridiculous. I am FAVOUR. With my hard work and God by my side, I'm rest assured.
My siblings are so loving, kind, and nice. Though when we were younger, we used to fight every day. But when we grew up, we discovered new things. And I pray we remain united forever.
Thanks for sharing.
@justfavour, I am glad you took out time to talk about each of what I listed. So happy with your comment and thanks so much 🤗
You're welcome 😊
One thing that should be scrapped from our vocabulary is giving up. It should never even be an option. I am glad it is something you will never do.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Yes, giving up shouldn't be an option in our lives but to keep moving. Thank you for coming around too.
Giving up is never an option, everyone should have that on their anti-bucket list.
Thank you dear Sugar 😎
Many things to be added to my bucket list here and some already inside.
Honestly, if we can be sincere to ourselves and follow our set of this anti-bucket list, becoming a better person will be very close.
Ignoring my health? I did that in the past but not anymore....or is it my relationship with God, that's my number one, the oxygen that keeps me going.
Thanks for sharing this with us princess 💖🤗
Yes oo, God is the oxygen that keeps me going too and I can never leave Him. Thank you ma for your beautiful comment 😎
Hello @princessbusayo nice to meet you here. At first, I thought you are a Filipina. ლ(・﹏・ლ)
Anyways, this is a nice read. One thing that I find it hard to deal with is comparing myself to others. Its one of my insecurities actually. But I am trying my best to manage it.
Hehehe! I am a real Nigerian. Lol
It's toxic when we compare ourselves with others because we are different. We should not feel insecure about it too. Thanks for stopping by
Ohhh I have few friends from Nigeria. My aunt also worked there and she said that people there are really kind.
Well u know, there are still factors why we ended up feeling insecure. Sometimes its the people and the environment that make us feel not proud.
That's great. Perhaps you will also visit Nigeria someday too? 😎😎You are right. The environment and people around us plays a vital role in our lives and what we do.
My aunt told me to go there when I go travel and when I entered noise.cash, I could say that my aunt was right all along. Nigerians are really friendly and lovely people so of course I would visit when I have a chance soon.
It seems like you have a good government as well there sis.

I also compare myself to others and spend my time worrying. Well, most of the time. Hopefully we could surpass it.
You've given a wonderful exposition of your anti-bucket list and indeed your points are one that are similar to mine. For sure I can never stop being grateful to others and grateful to God. Instead I hope to get better at being thankful/appreciative to people.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your anti-bucket list, they are helpful and it was a reminder to all of us that there are more important things that we mostly write on our bucket list
This is a really enlightening post.
and I must for sure say that every of your lists made a lot of sense and of course i learnt one or two from this post especially not giving up.
I have not come this far to give up
It's a pleasure coming across this post.
