Awesome

Positive Thought Project 

Awesome-extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear.

awesomeIt never ceases to amaze me when I look at the people I encounter every day in this small part of the world, just how awesome so many of them are. Some people are kind, caring, supportive, successful, motivated to create and do amazing things. In a word, they are awesome! The strange thing is that they don’t see it in themselves.  I wonder if you can see that same level of awesome in the people around you?  Most importantly, do you see the awesome person you are capable of being? We will go through times when we question our choices, the relationships we are in, or the relationships we are not in our current financial situation, or any other part of life that involves a decision.  Today’s challenge is to look at yourself and be conscious of the potential for awesome that exists in you, and it all begins with your thoughts, words, and actions.

Don’t Listen to Negative Noise.

One of the reasons people rarely see the awesome in themselves is because of the negative messages they are bombarded with throughout their development and into life. It takes a strong individual in a supportive awesomesituation to display the talent and not be ridiculed or chastised for it.  Perhaps a well-meaning adult or a jealous peer saw how awesome a person was and tried to limit this talent. Often, it only takes one negative word that sinks into one’s consciousness and stops creativity in its tracks.  The facts are that no matter who you are and what you can do, there are always going to be those who don’t appreciate what you can do.

One of the reasons people struggle putting themselves out there is the risk of ridicule. In today’s digital age, criticism is easy to give, and your words of hate can be transferred instantly and anonymously.  Awesome people will be created from their hearts and will not waste time worrying about what haters are going to say. They will always exist, and the only way to avoid them is to say nothing, do nothing and be nothing. Forget that and be the awesome creative person you are!

Rarity of Awesome

Once you decide to really look at your life and your capabilities, it can be a scary proposition to follow your passions and skills. There is a lot of fear involved.  You have a talent for doing something, and you love to do it. In awesomefact, when you do it, you feel whole.  The simple fears are the fear of failure, the fear of success, and the fear of what others will think of us.  These simple fears have stunted an untold number of awesome people.  Developing your awesomeness is very rare because it takes courage to try and confidence to continue.

The good news is that each of us has the ability to pursue our awesome gifts at any point in life we choose to do so.  Many look at their current situation and see a static location. It isn’t, change is constant and inevitable, and your circumstances are going to change. Be proactive in how that change develops, and you might find your way.  This is true for any goal setting in any facet of your life. In finances, relationships, or spirituality.  You can begin to develop your awesome talents as soon as you decide to put your fears aside and start. It takes courage to be awesome. That is why it is so rare and why we should appreciate those currently succeeding.

Awesome Things

In your life today, there will be an opportunity to support or diminish awesome in some way. It may be your awesome that you don’t follow through with, or it may be someone else attempting to be awesome whom you either choose to support or ridicule. Your words, even though you don’t know it, might be the push someone needs.  Be conscious today of the potential awesome happening all around you and be a supporter of all those trying to be great, including yourself.  Be conscious of your thoughts, words, and actions.  If you can help someone improve even just a little, you make the world a better place.  What could be more awesome than that?

Positive thinking will let you use the ability which you have, and that is awesome.  ~ Zig Zigler
