What's your definition of a life fulfilled?

I watched my first episode of 'The Buried Life' on MTV yesterday and it got me thinkin'...if life ended today tomorrow what would I hope/wish/pray that I had accomplished in my lifetime? Why put off my dreams for "someday"? Many of the things on my list would take a loooooong lifetime to accomplish simply given the time constraints. However, I also realize that many of the things I would like to do require a lot of $$ that (at the moment) I don't appear to have! Nonetheless, I am creating a list of things I want to experience. Several that I am happy to be able to start crossing off today!!
