excitement is contagious

What else would you wanna catch from your friends and colleagues except excitement? It’s taken me nearly 40 years to understand (or is it remember) that there ain’t nobody going to get the party going ‘cept yourself.
You are it, baby! You wanna get excited? Get excited! And everyone else around you is gonna say, “wow, I want some of that”, and they’re going to get excited. Then, you’re gonna get more excited. And, they’ll get more excited!
And, then someone’s going to be Eeyore and say, “Well, I don’t know…” and you’re going to walk over to them and say, “you kiddin’ me?”
Seriously, though, how many times have I sat around and waited for someone else to get excited? Or, not even excited, just plain motivated. Or, even simply interested. I can see so clearly that passive mode of, “please, tell me what I should be interested/excited/passionate about”. And, there isn’t anyone better on the planet to give me that information than me, myself and I.
We really do have everything inside of us to get that “next step” in our lives. Time, space, a little quite, whatever you need to get back into touch with that side of yourself that knows what’s best for yourself, do it. And, what are you waiting for?
C’mon… can’t you just get yourself excited that somewhere on the other side of your non-knowingness, there’s a passion, an interest, a carrot that’s going to get you out of your seat and you’re gonna want to throw yourself into it?
Really… just try it. Quiet yourself and ask, “What do I *really* want?”
And, then listen… you’ll be amazed with yourself.
