Are you Excited About Life or do you Want a More Exciting Life?
Do you want a more exciting life?
How do you feel first thing in the morning facing a new day? Is it something you look forward to most days? For example, do you feel like you have to drag yourself through another day? Perhaps you need to take time to ask yourself a few questions and to seriously and truthfully answer them.
Therefore, make note of how you feel inside when you answer them. Is that feeling telling you that you are lying to yourself or do the answers ring true for you? This is a small fraction of the questions you can ask yourself. Therefore, make note of these to get you started.
Ask yourself am I;
- happy with myself?
- content with my life?
- happy with the people I associate with?
- living my life for myself or others?
- able to make better choices for my life?
- able to create the future I want for myself?
Know who you are
Be Honest With Yourself
I am serious. Some people never take the time to know to truly know who they are. We are all special and unique, we are all here for a reason, for a purpose. Furthermore, we all have different gifts, talents, things that make us light up when we are faced with them.
We get caught up with following the crowd. The societal norms, the things we think we should do because everybody is doing them. We also think we need to do the things other people want us to do, what they want us to become. As a consequence, we get so caught up in that stuff that we don’t even know who we are anymore.
Ask yourself some questions that can help you find your way back to your unique, wonderful self. Some questions will be easy, yet important. Ask, “what is my favourite food, if I had to eat only one thing for a week, what would it be?” It doesn’t have to be healthy, mine isn’t, I could live on potato chips for at least a week, maybe more.
Some questions may be very difficult, such as, “What do I truly want in my life? If I could do anything I wanted to do for the rest of my life, what would it be?” Perhaps I should have asked myself that question. But I never did, and I never got to do what my heart called me to do. I can almost hear the voices of others telling me, “You should consider being a teacher, a teacher of life.”. I never took them seriously, even when I somehow knew, deep down inside, that this was also true for me. So please live your life doing what you know your heart is calling you to do.
Be Honest With Yourself
Here is a little list of questions I’ve compiled for you to ask yourself. Remember, all you have to do is to be honest with yourself.
- How did I enjoy my life as a child?
- What did I enjoy doing as I entered different stages in my life?
- Do others talk about what I should be doing with my life?
- What experiences in my life had huge impacts on me that actually changed me, and how did I change?
- Why do I follow the crowd? Similarly, should I be doing the things I do just because of them? Do they build me up or tear me down? Am I better because of them or are they destroying the uniqueness that I am?
- Are there things that I love about myself? What do I admire in others that I wish I could do or be? Who and what kind of person do I want to be?
- Do I know what my purpose is in life?
There are so many questions you could ask yourself, so, make your own list. Above all, challenge yourself to answer the tougher questions, for example, “why am I here?”.
Some Reasons why you may not be Excited With Your Life
Get a More Exciting Life
There are probably several reasons why life doesn’t excite us. We can ask ourselves some questions that prompt us to look more closely as to why we are not happier.
Ask yourself;
- Are you positive or are you mostly focus on the negative?
- Can you be treating yourself more kindly or are you just downright mean to yourself?
- Do you have upbeat friends who lift your spirit or people who drag you down with them?
- Can you believe in yourself, believe that you are good enough or do you just put yourself down continually?
- Do you take care of yourself physically and mentally? And do you eat properly, exercise a little bit, treat yourself now and again? For instance, do you take time from your job or do you work all through your vacation time?
- Are you stuck in the job from hell?
- Is the relationship your in rotten or blessed?
- Do you spend too much time drinking and/or doing drugs to numb yourself?
- Are you clinically depressed, do you need professional help with that?
These are just a few of the things you could consider thinking about. As a consequence, even if you could choose only one thing to focus on and change, it could get the ball rolling. You could get yourself excited about your life again.
Get a More Exciting Life
Some people just seem to be unhappy all the time, seem to be stuck in a negative loop. They may change something for a few days. However, it isn’t long before they end up right back where they started, unhappy. They have the “poor me’s” and the “why do terrible things always happen to me” blues. It seems to be a constant, “It’s his fault or her fault, the government’s fault, it’s God’s fault” anything for an excuse.
Some are very unhappy and probably know why, but they are too afraid to change their circumstances. Take overweight people, for example, many put themselves down. Then put others down who have slim, healthy bodies, but refuses to do anything to fix their own issues. In other words, this does not help.
How about those stuck in relationships, they are miserable most of the time. Why do they stay? Some relationships can be very complicated and need professional help, however, some could easily be managed. It becomes a choice, and, complaining and being unhappy will not change anything.
We need to find ways to get motivated to get things moving. This is how to change the negative aspects of our lives. Similarly, creating a more exciting life.
You are Unique and you Have a Purpose
You are indeed unique, no one on this entire planet is exactly like you, Therefore, you have talents, special gifts, ideas, needs and wants, and everything else that makes you an unique human. Figure out who you are and what makes you special. Consequently, you can figure out what your purpose is.
Only you know what your desires for this life are. As a result, don’t wait until it’s too late to live your life fully. You may get it wrong, but you can make changes if that happens and make better choices. Consequently, if you don’t get moving, you will never know what you have inside of you. And what you could accomplish in this world.
Celebrate yourself, your life, and please choose to be yourself. Likewise, choose to be different from everybody else. If you follow your inner compass, perhaps you will be the one who changes our world for the better. Love yourself, believe in yourself, and know that you are enough.
Choose to have a more exciting life.
