With my 41st birthday coming soon, it’s time to share my 50 before 50 list with my planning for the next years. Who’s with me?

I only heard about X before X lists one year before my 40th birthday. I did my best, but I didn’t manage to make all my wishes come true in such a short period of time.

For 2025, I want things to be different, though. That’s why, while I’m still a couple of days away from my birthday, I’m already sharing with you my 50 before 50 list.

Here's my ultimate 50 things to do before 50 list. Who's with me? #planning Click To Tweet

It may not be the wildest list you have seen out there, but I mean every single item. Sometimes, it’s harder to keep it simple than to go nuts. 

Above all, I have the sincere desire to keep on improving in different aspects of my life: personal and professional. I was just not made for the comfort zone.

To assure accountability, I’ll be sharing updates every six months. Nine years fly! And no, I don’t mean it as a joke at all! I don’t want to be caught by surprise with half of the list open by 2024.

Besides, some of the goals require extra follow up like books I’ll read per year and photo shoots.

"50 years: here’s a time when you have to separate yourself from what other people expect of you, and do what you love. Because if you find yourself 50 years old and you aren’t doing what you love, then what’s the point?" - Jim Carrey

It’s fun to think that the older we get, the longer is the list.

It doesn’t scare me, though. On the other hand: I’m excited to be able to cross off the entire list by 2025.
