Tips for Having an Outrageous Life

You know, having an outrageous life is not just a "good idea." It's not just a feel good, pie-in-the-sky concept designed to temporarily distract you from your daily "to-do" list. It's not just a clever phrase thrown out there to provide you with some really good fantasy material

You can actually have an outrageous life! Yes, you, I'm talking to you! And why not? You want it, you can create it, and you no doubt deserve it.

So what would having an outrageous life no matter what look like for you? What would it take for you to have one? Who would you have to be in the face of all those circumstances that come your way to actually enjoy the trip, instead of merely being along for the ride?

Your outrageous life is right there in front of you, but we often let an abundance of "little" things cloud our ability to see it and be it. Let's take a look at some tips for keeping our view clear so it reveals the path to an outrageous life!

Doing what you love. What are you passionate about? What would you be doing if someone told you that you only had so many days left on this planet? Doing what you love will energize and delight you. And, loving what you do can have the same effect. What would life be like if you chose to enjoy doing the laundry or paying your taxes?
Create instead of complain. Blocking your access to an outrageous life is your mouth and your mind! You actually create how your world occurs through what you say and think! If you constantly complain, either to yourself or to others, your life will occur for you just like what you speak-it will look like one giant complaint! Complaining words are like the stinky, sooty spew from an old factory, polluting the air and getting all over everyone who happens to be unlucky enough to be near you and your complaint. So stop complaining, and remember... you are the only person who has a say in how your life turns out!
Pay attention to who you are being. Are you rushing around and not paying attention? Is your mind elsewhere when you are speaking to someone? Did you interrupt your little son when he was telling you about the caterpillar he found in the backyard? Did you miss your daughter's twirl in her new pink ballet slippers because your football team was about to score? Were you being gracious, supportive, and respectful when your work colleague last let you down or were you critical, demeaning, and impatient? Imagine being someone who has to be by your side all day long. How do you occur for those around you at work and at home?
Build a team not stopped by fear. Notice you weren't put here alone on the planet. That's a big clue as to how you should proceed! You weren't meant to go it alone, and frankly, it doesn't work. What's next for you is so big there is no way you can do it by yourself. Outrageous lives are lives supported by outrageous teams who aren't stopped by fear.
Tell the people you love that you love them.We all love it when our loved ones tell us they love us. Yet, while those words from others are literally music to our ears and food for our souls, we tend to be stingy with speaking our own expressions of love and acknowledgment for the people in our lives and for the contribution they are to us. Speaking your love for others makes that love real for them and for you the moment you speak it. What would it be like for you to be an outrageous expression of love in your world?

Put these five practices in action in your life today, and see what starts to show up! Then make sure you are doing things for you. What lights YOU up? Ride a motorcycle. Sing karaoke. Go skydiving. Take trapeze lessons. Get in the sand pile with your child. Dance by candlelight with your honey. Blow soap bubbles. Take your son to a batting cage. Feel a little parakeet's feet on your finger. Fall down, skin your knee, and get back up again for more. Ride with both of your arms up!

As Jerry Seinfeld put it in his book, SeinLanguage:

Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind, he's ripping your ticket and away you go. As you make each passage fromyouth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream, sometimes you just hang on to that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair's messed, you're out of breath and you didn't throw up.

Check it out. Are you living an out-of-breath, mussed hair, huge smile on your face outrageous life, complete with all the ups, downs and sharp-cornered turns?
