Ice Breaker – Excited For Life
In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln
Each week on The Stretched Blog, I ask an ice breaker question. The questions are designed to help us get to know each other here in The Stretched Community. I’ll provide my answer to the question here in the post, and then you can leave your response in the comments. While you’re in the comments section, see how others answered the ice breaker question.
(I’m always looking for Ice Breaker question ideas. If you have an idea, send me an email at jon@jonstolpe.com. If I use your question, I’ll give you credit and share your links.)
Too often, we lose our zeal for life as we allow the pulls and pressures of life to weigh us down. This week’s Stretched Ice Breaker is meant to re-inject some energy back into your life.
Question: What gets you excited about life?
My Answer: The best way for me to answer this question is to create a list. Here are some of the things that get me excited about life:
