How To Make Life Interesting – 5 Ways To Change Your Life Today
Not sure how to make life interesting? Here are 5 ways how to make life more interesting and change your life today.
Let’s chat about how to make life interesting.
Have you ever thought that life was rather predictable at times? If so, it can be super helpful and fun to view life as just a series of tests to be solved.
Some of these tests are created by your own choices. Others are the result of randomness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”
Here’s the definition of an experiment:
The process of conducting a test, trial or tentative procedure for the purpose of discovering something unknown or for testing a principle to determine something.
Or: A scientific test in which you perform a series of actions and carefully observe their effects in order to learn if something is true
Whether we realize it or not, life provides you with lots of little experiments and tests on a daily basis that must be taken and passed in order to be happy.
It might be a test of your cleverness. Another day, it might be a test of your perseverance or patience.
This viewpoint can help make life a little more interesting and less threatening.
If you pass the test, excellent! If you don’t pass the test, that’s fine too.
Failing a test just highlights what you need to learn to advance further in life.
Consider the advantages of looking at life as a series of interesting tests.Here is how to make life interesting:
HOW TO MAKE LIFE INTERESTING
TIP # 1 – Life is just a puzzle to be solved.
Goals and obstacles really are the ultimate puzzle!
You can begin to view the goals and the obstacles in your life as puzzles to be solved.
All puzzles have at least one solution.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a crossword puzzle, maze, Rubik’s cube, or any other type of puzzle.
There is always a solution to be found. And, it’s fun to try to figure that solution.
- You can view your goals and challenges in the same way. They’re just a different sort of puzzle to solve, with different solutions that you have to figure out.
- Dealing with these hypothetical types of puzzles can be just as enjoyable as any other type of puzzle. In fact, it’s ultimately more enjoyable, because your life actually improves when you achieve a goal or overcome an obstacle.

TIP # 2 – Don’t take it personally.
One of the rules of viewing life as a test is to not take things too personally.
I’m sure you’re not too hard on yourself if you can’t get the last word or two on a crossword puzzle.
Sure you might feel a little frustrated, but you don’t feel like a complete failure, right?
- Treat your life the same way. You might not solve the puzzles in your life immediately, but there’s no reason to take it personally. You just haven’t found the solution yet. That doesn’t mean you won’t find it in the future.
- The biggest problem with puzzles is never trying because you’re afraid you’ll fail. This is the same issue in life.
- If you don’t take it personally, you’ll never be worried about giving your best ideas your best effort. You’ll just act. If you fail, big deal. You can just try to find a new solution another day.

TIP # 3 – Be curious.
Instead of thinking, “I want to make a million dollars, but I’ll probably be a failure and look like an idiot,” think, “I wonder what it takes for the average person to make a million dollars. I’m going to find out!”
It’s all about asking the right questions.
- Have a sincere curiosity for life and its solutions. Be curious about what it takes to become wealthy, lose weight, have a great relationship, or accomplish whatever it is you want to accomplish.
- The answers are out there but you will never find out if you don’t ask the right questions.

TIP # 4 – Create a plan and see if you’re correct.
When you had a test in high school, you prepared for the test, took the test, and then found out if you were correct.
As an adult, you formulate a plan, put it into action, and then find out if you’re correct or not.
This is the way tests work.
If you don’t prepare, you probably won’t go as well as if you actually took the time to put in some effort.

TIP # 5 – Master the art of failing.
Life is a little trickier than high school, but the basic idea is the same.
Your results will teach you what you need to learn.
Your results show you how you need to spend your time going forward.
- Poor results mean you need to come up with a new idea. Good results suggest that you’re on the right track.
- Failure is a very powerful thing if used properly. Master using failure to your advantage and life becomes infinitely easier. Failure is usually a blessing in disguise.
In the end, life doesn’t have to be viewed as a threatening place where your ego is constantly under fire.
It’s all about your attitude.
Opt instead to see life as a series of tests, puzzles, or challenges to overcome.
As long as you sincerely try, you’ll find that you learn something new every time and eventually you will find the right solution!
Things will fall into place and the puzzle will be solved.
So please don’t stress – you can take these tests as often as you like without penalty.
But the more you do, the more you increase your chances of success.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist. Oscar Wilde
