We have but one life and it lies solely with us to either make it interesting or to live it the ordinary way. The difference between an interesting life and an ordinary life is like between choosing a cheese and macaroni dinner to having an exotic Thai dinner. Cheese and macaroni dinner could be comforting and be there when you need it, but to get an exotic Thai dinner you will have to either get the ingredients and prepare it yourself or do a bit of homework and find the best Thai restaurant in town. Whatever way you choose, you will have made your dinner experience different and more importantly interesting. The same can be applied to life at large; you can add different things to your daily schedule to make your life interesting. Here are some ways to make your life more interesting.
1. Do something different once in a while
Our routines lull us into a false sense of safety and comfort and we seldom want to break that. But if your life is going to be predictable for the next week, the month and maybe even the year, there is no point. You will have to do something that is totally out of character.
2. Quit your job and go travelling
Quit your job to do a bit of travelling and go to a place that you have always wanted to explore.
3. Start a new venture
Everyone can do it, all it needs is a little bit of courage and a lot more bluster to convince yourself and others that it would be a success
4. Go mountain climbing at least once in your life
This would not only make your life interesting but also test your strength and endurance limits.
5. Do something different at least once in a month
Try to do something different at least once in a month so you can plan for it in the beginning of the month and then think and talk about what you had done for the rest of the month.
6. Do not stick to the same routine
Routine can be safe and comforting and pretty boring. If you like having a routine, have one, but keep changing your routine. Keep juggling the usual things you normally do and try to make them interesting.
7. Surprise yourself and surprise others
Never underestimate your ability to surprise yourself. Be impulsive and do what you have to and what you want to.

15. Be a risk taker
