After the loss of a dear friend, Sebastian Terry asked himself one question: "If I died today, could I look back and say I lived a life that reflected my values?" The answer was no, so Terry decided to create a list of 100 things he'd always wanted to accomplish.

That was the beginning of an epic journey that saw him delivering a baby, marrying a stranger in Vegas, crashing the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, getting shot in Columbia, chasing a tornado, skydiving naked and cycling through Cuba – all in a quest to live without regrets.

"It's about living in a way that excites you," Terry says. "The secret to true fulfillment is working out who you are, and then just learning how to be that."

In this episode of Project Luminary with Kristen Aldridge, learn how to set huge goals, overcome your biggest fears and achieve what's on your list -- no matter how unrealistic.
