VIDEO-Introducing TMFproject’s OPERATION: GET EXCITED
I’ve lived abroad. I’ve written eBooks. I’ve learned other languages. I’ve gotten pick-pocketed more times than I’ve gone skiing (true story). I’ve been a nomad. And I’ve fallen deeply love with the lifestyle design approach to life.
And as much as I promote that lifestyle with every last drop of my being, here’s the truth: Even if that type of lifestyle is your end goal, you might not be at that point just yet.
So here’s the deal.
Living an excitement-filled, passionate lifestyle doesn’t always have to mean running off to Cuba, adorned in a Zorro mask and armed with nothing more than a leap of faith, in search of exotic cigars and cheap rum. (Although, if there’s a Zorro mask involved, I would definitely give it some thought.)
Maybe you’re not ready for that yet.
Maybe that’s not even your goal.
Maybe you think Cuba is stupid.
It doesn’t matter.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever stage of life your currently at & whatever side of the potato-potatoe camp you belong to…you have a choice. You have a choice as to whether you want to live your life according to how other people tell you to live it, and you have a choice as to whether you want to live your life according to how you want to live it. It’s as simple as that.
Personally, I pick the latter.
Allow me to introduce The Middle Finger Project’s OPERATION: GET EXCITED.
OPERATION: GET EXCITED is my attempt at helping you to get inspired to see that there are things you can do right here, right now to add excitement to your life. It’s something I’d like to call Small-Scale Lifestyle Design. Large-scale lifestyle design is essentially all about increasing the quality of your life, so whatever helps you to attain that goal is okay in my book. Whatever it is that gets you excited, is exactly what you NEED TO DO. Today. No more oh-sorry-I’m-washing-my-hair-today excuses. Trust me, you’ll be happy you left it dirty.
To summarize, I’ll be posting videos that will capture me trying out a new unconventional hobby or activity…hopefully without doing too much bodily harm. The idea is not to advocate one particular activity over another; it’s simply just to help you get motivated to break the routine and go try something new that you’ve been wanting to try; it’s not as intimidating as you might think. Go ahead, go do something fun!
Alas, I present you with video numero uno – it’s a bit experiential, but I think you’ll get a kick out of it. Especially because you get to see me get a little nervous on camera…which is admittedly entertaining.
As always, I’ll leave you with this: To hell with the shoulds; life is short…do what you want!
