What’s the most exciting thing you’re going to do today?

Do you have something you’re looking forward to doing, or are you just putting in the time?

What are you doing to add life to your life?

Adding a little life to your life doesn’t have to be something elaborate. I’m not suggesting you take a daily skydive or swim with the sharks, unless of course that’s what you want to do. What I am recommending is that you do something that takes your breath away, just for a moment. That you do something that brings a smile to your face and your heart beat just a little faster.

There’s nothing wrong with the ho-hum monotony of everyday life; it’s something almost everyone willing participates in. And yes, I say willingly, because there a few amongst us that refuse to do so. We usually refer to them as the misfits, or crazy ones.

But who really are the crazy ones?

The one’s that seek out excitement at every turn, pushing their lives to the limit and squeezing every last ounce of energy from their bodies to do so, or the ones that hoard all the energy life has given them just to live out another monotonous day.

Look, having an exciting moment or two during your day will not make you any less responsible, nor will it derail any grand life plans or goals that you’ve set for yourself. In fact, I can almost guarantee that at the end of your day and even at the end of your life, it’s going to be the moments that made the butterflies in your tummy come alive and your heart flutter just a little faster that will be the memories you’ll savor the most.

Noble Prize winner Nicolas Murray Butler once said “Many peoples’ tombstones should read ‘Died at 30, buried at 60.” As you go through your day today, be mindful of his statement and create opportunities to add life to your life.
