“I can’t believe you’re actually THIS excited in real life.”
I came off stage.
I took off the mic and ran to the back.
We had a book meet ‘n’ greet.
40 top partners of the organization. About 10 minutes in…
A lady comes up, I give her a big smile and say: “Hi there! So good to see you 😁
She said: “Wow.” “You’re actually like this.”
I was a confused.
I paused.
She continued.
“I can’t believe you’re actually THIS excited.” “I needed to see for myself.”
I look at her and say: “Yes, I’m this annoying all the time 😂”
She said: “But why?”
I paused and said: “Because it’s a better choice than the alternative.”
Many times,
We question being in a good mood.
We question excitement.
We question joy.
When someone asks you: “How are you?”
And you say: “AMAZING!”
Most of the time, People’s response is: “Why?”
My thought is: Why do we need a reason?
Why can’t being alive be a good enough reason for excitement?
Why can’t waking up be a good enough reason for joy?
Why do we need to justify a good mood?
But when we’re stressed,
People understand.
People can relate.
People get it.
Especially in the times we’re in right now…
The world needs more people that show up with joy, FOR NO REASON.
The world needs more people that bring excitement, JUST BECAUSE.
At the end of the day…
Excitement is a choice.
Joy is a decision.
In my opinion, it is the best choice we can make.
