After my father passed away, I started to think about my fear of death and what was the dream life I wanted to live.
I wanted to learn as much as I could, I wanted to make as much money as I could creating the impact I wanted to create. But found that those things were too broad, so I started to get clearer and started my transpiral list.
Although inspired by the bucket list concept, the difference is that even though I haven’t ticked all those things off my list, I don’t need to because I know I am enough, and I have done enough.
