You Are Incredibly Awesome

Let’s face it. We all have days when we do not feel positive, when life takes a difficult direction, or when we are not feeling our best. Even the most positive people struggle with the daily grind and the highs and lows of life. Sometimes it is okay to feel a little off kilter, or to have an emotion that is not very positive. We grow and learn a lot from those moments, and they bring us to a better understanding of who we are.

When you are feeling down, or maybe just not as hopeful as usual, here are some incredibly awesome reminders of how to make your life as incredibly awesome as you can. They will rejuvenate you so that you can continue in your journey with joy in your heart.

Your Unique Spirit – It should come as no surprise that you have a unique and special spirit that sheds light on those around you. It may be the way you smile, your dubious wisdom, or that glint in your eye when a new idea comes to mind. The exact description of your spirit can never be filtered down to words. Suffice it to say, that in all this world, you are the only person who sees the world the way that you do. Do not waste your precious time on trying to be like anyone else. Your unique spirit helps others find a positive spark in themselves.

Your Contribution – Whatever roles you play in life, you are a contributor. As a student, parent, caregiver, employee, sibling, spouse, friend, significant other, or a professional, you make a significant contribution to the world around you. How you fulfill your roles is completely up to you.  To be incredibly awesome in this category, all you must do is bring that unique spirit of yours into the relationships in your life and create a positive atmosphere for those around you. You may not realize it, but others depend upon you. You are a shining light in a negative world.

Your Talent – What is your talent? This question is not always easy to answer. It took me 50 years before I finally realized mine and that is to motivate and inspire others through my role as a martial artist and by sharing positivity.  Don’t be blind to the things that you do well. Talents must rise to the surface because we tend to bury them in our lack of belief in ourselves. Open your mind and your heart and see what talents come to light.

Your Purpose – I am sure that you have heard we each have a purpose in life. While my talents may center around motivating others, martial arts, and writing, my true purpose I believe is to make the world a better place. All my talents, my hopes, and my dreams collide into this one greater truth. I do what I do because I believe it can make a difference. Once you understand your talents, you can decipher your mission. Think of it all as a puzzle that requires a few key pieces to make it all come together, and that is truly awesome.

Your Goals – I always suggest that you write down your goals if you truly want them to come to fruition.  Writing them down memorializes what you truly want in your life and serves as a road map. Your goals may overlap those of other people, but many will be specific to who you are, and will touch upon your unique spirit, your contribution, your talent, and your purpose. While many people want to be martial artists, for example, each has a different reason for wanting to acquire a black belt. For some, it is personal achievement, a dream of owning a martial art school, the opportunity to overcome an obstacle, or to learn a self-defense.  Be specific in your goals and tailor them to what you truly want to achieve. They are yours (and yours alone) to accomplish. You can do it!

There are a million reasons why you are incredibly awesome. You will, on occasion, allow yourself to be controlled by outside influences or episodes of negativity and completely forget how valuable you are to the world around you. Use my five favorite reminders above whenever you are struggling with an issue or difficulty. You will be happy to know that you are incredibly awesome.

xoxo
