Perhaps the life you live is the one you agreed upon with God in Heaven before you were born, and the people and places that strike familiar chords were part of that heavenly vision.
I like to think that my parting words with my Heavenly Father were in the form of covenants, He would promise me eternal life with him and I would promise to seek Him till I found Him and keep His commandments.
He would promise to walk beside me, sustain, support me, shower me with his love, offer me peace in the midst of trouble. He would never betray me, or deny me blessings from heaven, he would guide me if I would let him, and keep me from evil. I think God made me a lot of promises that day. looking back over my 60 years minus a few, yes, he has kept his promises.
This "something exciting" that you wish to live in, would you describe it as the "buzz"? Take away my vices and you take away my buzz. But, by taking them away I am better able to recognize the ugly monster and deal with it. There are ways to overpower even that.
