Being awesome Part two As I drive and think more about this picture. A four year old kid in a superhero costume. How awesome does that kid feel? Top of the world. Invincible. Has a mask on. Is a completely different person and believes and perceived as as that. As a different person, as an awesome superhero. At what point that was us. Where along the road did lose that sensation and that confidence? It came from our parents, our teachers, people in our lives who told us that we weren't good enough, weren't doing something well enough, good enough, weren't living up to what they felt we should be living up to in their eyes. But I want you to just take a moment to think about what you do well. Picture yourself as that four year old superhero in that costume and bring up that sensation and live that sensation and be awesome. Look at yourself in the mirror. Talk to yourself. Tell yourself you're awesome. I want to tell you you're awesome. You're freaking awesome. And I want you to keep believing that. And anytime you doubt yourself, just remember what you do well. And remind yourself what you can do, have done, will do, will keep doing. And who you really are deep inside is awesome. So keep being awesome.
