How to Make Life Interesting: The Tony Rambles Method

Life is a beautiful and interesting journey. But is life in itself interesting, or do we have to make it interesting? This question was the starting point of a conversation with Tony Rambles, a teacher, podcast host, and producer of the Living Numbers podcast. In this article, we will explore some of the insights Tony shared on how to make life more interesting.

According to Tony, life being interesting and beautiful comes with perspective. We all go through different experiences, and how we perceive them determines whether they are positive or negative. For instance, Tony grew up with divorced parents and had four stepmoms and a stepdad. Some people might view this as a bleak situation, but Tony saw it as an opportunity to have a big family with many people with different perspectives and life experiences. This perspective helped him to have different people he could call upon and talk to for different situations in life, making his life more interesting.

Changing your perspective is the key to making life more interesting. Instead of focusing on the negatives, try to find the positives in every situation. Tony believes that simple things like having a favorite TV show, a basketball, or a Pokemon toy can create a bonding moment where you can connect with others and have meaningful conversations. These conversations can lead to deeper relationships and make life more interesting.

Tony also emphasized the importance of asking questions. Asking the right questions can bring out the interesting aspects of things in everybody's life. It helps to connect with people and to understand their perspectives. By asking questions, we can learn from others and expand our own understanding of life.

When Tony was younger, he had a difficult time in life, but he remained motivated. He believes that having a positive outlook on life, and finding the good in every situation, is the key to staying motivated. This positive mindset can be particularly helpful for people who are passing through a difficult time in their last years of school or early 20s.

In conclusion, life is what we make of it. By changing our perspective, finding the positives in every situation, and asking questions, we can make life more interesting. As Tony says, life is all about the people we connect with, and when we take the opportunity to have meaningful conversations, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities.
