Manufacture Your Day by BEING EXCITED ABOUT YOUR LIFE
When was the last time that you have been really excited about your life?
If you cannot even remember, you may want to continue reading this post.
I have always been excited about life in general. I admit that there were times in my life when it seemed really difficult to generate some excitement because everything seemed to work against me.
Do you know what I’m talking about?
Here is something I have learned over the years. When people are excited about life it has absolutely nothing to do with money, luxury or material things.
Today I know that “life excitement” is a state of mind. Sometimes I get too absorbed in my “doing” instead of focusing more on my “being”, but isn’t this what the western world is all about? We are expected to “do” but nobody thinks about how to “be”.
- People chase money instead of dreams.
- Our focus is on to-do lists instead of a “how-to-be” list.
- Material things seem to have more significance than meaningful relationships and life experiences.
- Instead of wanting to thrive, most try to survive – the day, the week, the month, the years.
Does any of it sound familiar?
Yesterday I skyped with my dad. He lives in Austria and he had his 86th birthday this week. He and my mom used to own a construction business, and he has definitely worked very hard his whole life.
We ended up talking about life and business, and I would like to share some of his wisdom with you:
- Always do your best but don’t let others get the best of you.
- Work hard but never forget to live life.
- Don’t worry about things that you cannot change.
- Live life happy and be excited for every day you have.
- Be proud of who you are because we are all unique.
Don’t you love that? My dad is a very smart man.
