Welcome. You should probably subscribe to my [RSS feed](https://www.ashambirge.com/feed/), because if you don't, no one will like you. Peer pressure--what a bitch, right? **I’ve lived abroad.** I’ve written eBooks. I’ve learned other languages. I’ve gotten pick-pocketed more times than I’ve gone skiing (true story). I’ve been a nomad. *And I’ve fallen deeply love with the lifestyle design approach to life.* And as much as I promote that lifestyle with every last drop of my being, here’s the truth: **Even if that type of lifestyle is your end goal, you might not be at that point just yet.** So here’s the deal. **Living an** [**excitement-filled, passionate lifestyle**](http://unconventionalguides.com/cmd.php?af=1154679&ref=ashambirge.com) **doesn’t always have to mean running off to Cuba, adorned in a Zorro mask and armed with nothing more than a leap of faith, in search of exotic cigars and cheap rum. (Although, if there’s a Zorro mask involved, I would definitely give it some thought.)** Maybe you’re not ready for that yet. Maybe that’s not even your goal. Maybe you think Cuba is stupid. *It doesn’t matter.* Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever stage of life your currently at & whatever side of the potato-potatoe camp you belong to…*you have a choice.* **You have a choice as to whether you want to live your life according to how other people tell you to live it, and you have a choice as to whether you want to live your life according to how you want to live it.** It’s as simple as that. Personally, I pick the latter. ## Allow me to introduce The Middle Finger Project’s OPERATION: GET EXCITED. **OPERATION: GET EXCITED is my attempt at helping you to get inspired to see that there are things you can do right here, right now to add excitement to your life.** It’s something I’d like to call *Small-Scale Lifestyle Design*. Large-scale lifestyle design is essentially all about increasing the quality of your life, so whatever helps you to attain that goal is okay in *my* book. **Whatever it is that gets you excited, is exactly what you NEED TO DO.** Today. No more *oh-sorry-I’m-washing-my-hair-today* excuses. Trust me, you’ll be happy you left it dirty. To summarize, I’ll be posting **videos** that will capture me trying out a new unconventional hobby or activity…hopefully without doing too much bodily harm. The idea is not to advocate one particular activity over another; it’s simply just to **help you get motivated to break the routine and go try something new that you’ve been wanting to try**; it’s not as intimidating as you might think. Go ahead, go do something fun! Alas, I present you with video numero uno – it’s a bit experiential, but I think you’ll get a kick out of it. Especially because you get to see me get a little nervous on camera…which is admittedly entertaining. As always, I’ll leave you with this: **To hell with the shoulds; life is short…*do what you want!*** ### If you liked that jazz. . .check out some of these: - [A Beautiful Mess: A Personal Manifesto of The Human Experience](https://www.ashambirge.com/a-beautiful-mess-a-personal-manifesto-of-the-human-experience/) - [When Being in Control is a Disservice](https://www.ashambirge.com/when-being-in-control-is-a-disservice/) - [Argentina + An 11 Year Old Boy + Greatest Business Asset of All](https://www.ashambirge.com/argentina-an-11-year-old-boy-greatest-business-asset-of-all/) - [Trust, Humanity & A Dutch Pilot.
