Jayla Barnsen — Everyone is blessed with both gifted abilities and things he or she may do for love. Almost everyone also has a bucket list of a few things that individual hasn't tried before but would like to learn how to do. Here are some common items that people are always saying they want to learn how to do or do better. You are never too old to learn them.

1. How to play a musical instrument

Have you always imagined what it would be like to be the guitarist in your favorite band? Have you ever wanted to start a band to make music to express the deepest depths of your soul? Music moves everyone who listens. It is the greatest reward to create it because it is so very personal. A musical learning program that is perfect for you exists. While some focus on sight reading and the technical, others emphasize emotional development, honing your pitch, and musical intuition.

2. How to add vocal harmony to a song

Perhaps you always wondered about how exhilarating it must be to be a singer. Singing involves no initial investment in expensive instruments. The voice is the instrument we are all born with. We are all born with vocal cords. While some are naturally tighter than others, all can be trained to expand and contract to their greatest capacities no matter what your age. Search for teachers to help you improve at a faster pace and have someone to be accountable to.

3. How to dance like nobody is watching

Even if ballet was a parental requirement during childhood, executing perfect technique is quite different from learning to move your body in its most raw, emotional state. Non-sexual, sensuality refers to self love in its most pure form. No matter what your age, sexual orientation or gender, sensual dance, being in your sacral chakra energy is the ultimate liberation.

4. How to ride a bike

Why drive when it’s beautiful, warm and sunny out? You may fall so deeply in love with the wind in your hair that commuting by bike feels better than driving in any weather.

5. How to write and slam your poetry

Rhythm is not just for rappers. Ever write something down and wish to say it out loud with finesse? Slam poetry readings have taken the country by a storm. They are the equivalent to speaking with passion and rhythm without requiring singing.

Seize the day today by trying something that you have always wanted to do. Find yourself passionate about something you’d never thought of trying until today!
