Yeah, I am AWESOME

I love running into people lately.  I always ask them how they are, they usually reply with “okay” or something like that.  They then ask me how I am and I respond with “amazing” or “awesome” or “wonderful.”  Very few people will ask why I am feeling that way, and no one has ever asked me how they would get to feeling the same way.  A year ago I would have been the same way, instead of being happy for my friend who was doing well; I would question why I wasn’t like them?  I would automatically think there was something wrong with me.

What do you do when someone you know has what you want?  Do you feel sorry for yourself, get angry, or are you happy for them.  Have you ever asked them how they got that way?  Its one thing if the just got an awesome grade on a test, or just had something major in their life happen; but what about the people you know that are always positive?  What do you think they are doing to see life the way they do?

This is what I am doing:  I way up every morning and allow myself sometime for me – I read or watch Netflix or play bejeweled (yes, I am a little bit addicted).  I also think of at least five things that I am thankful for while I am getting ready in the morning.  I take time every day to do something that I love *cough* blogging *cough*.  I also surround myself with people that make me feel better, and people what I want to be more like.  I have a conversation everyday with one of my best coaching friends – just to check in on each other to make sure we are on the right track.  I look at my friends on facebook to see what they are up to.  I laugh.

I am not saying by any means that you have to do any of this, but what you are doing to move you life from “okay” to “amazing?”  You have the power to take control over your life, don’t let people bring you don’t, find the ones that raise you up.  Take some time today to think of one think that you can do to move your life in the direction you want to go.  I know you can do it, and if you want help – let me know!  I am here to help you and plant ideas in your head.  Use your resources; there are people in your life who want you to succeed, all you have to do is ask them for help.

You have if all & Confidence,
