“I Couldn’t Live Like That”

So, if you follow me on Facebook you will know that I had that quote up for a few days. That is because it profoundly affected my outlook on my life. Yes, just that phrase, along with a little bit more of the conversation that I cannot recall quotably. I also said that I could not be boring. I should not be boring.

Boring is exactly the kind of person that I have never wanted to be. Yet, I have been settling for the easy standard of mediocrity. The standard of being boring in my life. That is not good enough, nor will it ever be. When people ask me how I am doing I always respond in the same way. “So, So,” or “Okay”. Never do I say “Pretty Good” This is a small thing, but I know for a fact how being around people who are doing well or are happy can change the entire experience.

Listening to Troy, who I had the pleasure of spending most of the week last week with, amongst many other great folks, helped me see what was wrong with me lately. Ya know, I never thought about how to be more positive, or how to be more friendly, or, God forbid, more exciting. I started to realize that I have been on autopilot for the last 2 years.

I have always told myself that I want to be one of those people who is constantly doing something exciting and new. And, I feel like MonaVie is one of those things. Yes, it is juice, but it is bigger than just juice. The people that I get to hang out with because of this product are amazing!

I wrote this post because of something that Riley said to me after dinner a couple nights ago. He, in essence, said he did not want to be one of those people who went through the same routine every day. He wanted to be someone who was exciting. He just didn’t know how someone could spend their life bored and alone. I know! I’ve been doing it for two years.

That is going to change. Just within the past two days I have seen how much better a day can be when you spend it with a positive outlook. Your outlook on life even improves when you stop hanging around with negative people. I intend to do both of those things. I intend to be the outgoing, adventurous, friendly, happy, and positive person that I was before my life got turned upside down. Which, I am now realizing may not have been as horrendously horrible as I thought it was.

Things will be different. Things will be better. My life shall improve. My life will no longer be blah, but instead vivid. And whe asked how I am I will be “Great!” Thanks to anyone I mentioned in this post. You know who you are.
