I’m a little too much at times. So I’ve been told. And I agree. I’m either pegged as a caffeine junky, drug abuser or ADD-spaz. The great reality is – I’ve been like this since the day I was born. Full of life, full of energy, full of enthusiasm, and for some I’m sure, full of B.S.
I’ve heard it all before – what’s this guy so happy about? Where does he get the energy? Does he ever have a bad day? And, what drugs is he on and where can I get me some? I take it ALL in as a compliment. It’s me, it won’t change – it’s my personal brand, it’s my personal identity. It’s what makes me, me and it’s what brings added energy and enthusiasm into our world. Something I strongly believe we need more of.
We’re in short supply – in short supply of people who give a damn, in short supply of people who care and in short supply of what makes life fun, interesting and expanding. The majority of my best friends are beaming with energy, enthusiasm and a lust for life. They exercise, eat right, laugh, work hard, play hard, love right and more. They are my best of friends because they ride the same wave I enjoy traveling. We share a common unwritten goal that life is worth living full out – and when I speak full out, I mean energetic to the gills and enthusiastic to the nines.
But YOU can do something about this lack of supply. You can change the game. Do what you love, love what you do (how cliché?). Choose to be the better person in everything you move. Choose to laugh harder, smile more, exercise stronger, love deeper, walk with confidence and talk with interest. Add value to everything you do and add value to this world. Move yourself and move the people around you. Be someone who may lack the book smarts and intellectual intelligence, but invaluably lights up the room and a nation with their energy and enthusiasm. Someone who makes a difference by simply being themselves – for I so deeply believe that we all have that remarkable vibe within us – it’s just that this vibe has become dormant as life’s pressures weigh us down. Let’s shed that weight and revive that will – the will to energize and enthuse all that lives around us.
