And I mean awesome in the way it was meant to be used. As a word of significance and power. One which evokes something in your gut. Not just a passing comment about something that can pass as run of the mill.
Make your own life awesome, awe inspiring, or just plain ol' damn good. Find out what you do well, and do it. Be who you are and always strive to be better. Choose relationships that build on the positive, not the negative. Recognize all the opportunities in your day where you can smile! Instead of matching someone else's negative attitude with your own, pass it by. Feel sympathy even that they are stuck there and not able to work it through and let it go. Do these and feel awesome. Sure, we sometimes wake up tired, hardly awe inspiring. But, can you still do things during that tired day that build you towards a life of meaning, fufillment and love? Definately.
Some people bring the desire to be better out in us. Recently I met someone who has a unique ability to make me pause and see the great strides I have already made towards creating my own personal awesome. They have held up a mirror where sometimes (not always!) am I able to see myself the way they do or others do. WOW. Sometimes a wee bit mind bending. It is with their love, appreciation, support and positive personality that I am swept up and made to see the steps I have taken and not get overwhelmed with the barriers I am currently facing.
From Neil Young....
Tomorrow is a long long time
if you're a memory
Trying to find peace of mind
Spirit come back to me,
Give me strength and set me free
Let me hear the magic in my heart.
Love and only love
will endure
Hate is everything
you think it is
Love and only love
will break it down
Love and only love,
will break it down
Break it down, break it down.
