I am not here to
be good; I am here to be Awesome: a manifesto for
revolutionizing your life.
This
is not a blog about how to be good, it’s a blog about how to be awesome because
“life is what you make it, and I plan to make mine
awesome.”
We
live in a world where we are told at every turn that we need to be “Good”, we
need to be better than others and meet certain expectations. Our parents always
tell us examples of our neighbours, relatives, and friends. We measure our
worth based on these external markers of success rather than looking inward.
But what does this do for our souls? What does this do for our creativity? What
does this do for our happiness? We need to understand what we want from our
life.
I
will not answer any of the above questions here because the fact is there is no
answer, there is nothing. If you're reading this article, then it's probably
because you're ready to stop being good and start being awesome. Awesome
doesn't mean giving up your integrity or forgetting who you are: it means making
yourself happy and choosing what lights your soul on fire even if it clashes
with what society has deemed successful. So here's my first tip for you: take
control of your life and start living an awesome life today!
Based
on what society deems “good” stop measuring your success. The first thing that
needs to change is how we measure success. Too often we measure our worth based
on what society deems “good.” We're told time and time again that if we want to
be successful, we need to do well in school, get a good job, get married, have
kids, live in a nice house with a white picket fence, etc.
But
this leaves us feeling unhappy or unfulfilled. In order to be truly happy—to
have real success—we need to stop measuring ourselves against these external
markers of success and start looking inward for validation. We need to ask
ourselves: am I happy? Am I satisfied with my life? If not then why not? And
how can I make it better?
I
will not answer these questions to you, you need to search answers of these
questions inside you. Once start receiving your answers than you will be on
success path.
Put your passion first
As I said earlier that you need to see our life from
your point of view not from others. What people say you don’t need to think
about it. You need to focus on our passion, you need to follow your passion and
for that you need to always ask questions to yourself.
But before asking questions to yourself, you need to
focus on your passion. You need to put your passion first and ignore all these
external markers. If you start questioning yourself, then you are ready to be
awesome. You are not to be more as good now, you have started the process to be
awesome. Once you started to put your passion first before all of your responsibilities
and other things then you will definitely get the tag of awesome. So always
remember your passion and put it before anything.
Take the leap of faith or start believing
in yourself
Fear is a natural reaction to anything new. It's a
warning sign that you're not ready for what lies ahead. But the thing about
fear is that it never goes away. If you want to live your life on your own
terms, there will always be some sort of challenging moment. But the things
worth fighting for are never easy, and they're worth the risk.
I remember the first time I quit a job that made me miserable and pursued something entirely different: I started going on interviews and one interview followed another, but every rejection cut through me like a knife. Fear was screaming in my ear telling me to go back to what was safe, but I didn't listen because I knew I had to keep going until I found something better.
The day after my last interview which led me to nowhere, I
got a call from an HR manager who told me they liked my resume and they wanted
me to come in for an interview with their company as soon as possible. That was
the job that changed my life - it gave me more stability than ever before and
allowed me to grow into someone even better than before.
If you're feeling scared about what might happen if
you take action, just know this: no matter how bad it but once you start
achieving your passion then you will enjoy your life.
Get
to know yourself
“I am awesome,
amazing, beautiful and confident I don’t need someone to make me realize it!”
You
may not know what makes you happy—or you might be living a life that isn't in
line with your values. But before you can start living an awesome life, you
need to get to know yourself.
It
sounds cliché, but it's true: the first step is knowing who you are and what
makes you happy. You need to understand what your strengths and weaknesses are
and how they play into the things that make you feel good. Once you have a
clearer sense of who you are, it will be easier for you to know what kind of
lifestyle choices to make going forward.
So,
before we get into all of the steps to take on your journey towards being
awesome, I want to get one thing straight: it’s okay if the road is bumpy or if
there isn't a map laid out in front of us. It’s okay if sometimes we get lost
or put off track because being awesome is a process that takes time and
commitment. All we have to do is take one small step at a time and eventually
we'll find our way back home. To be an awesome version of ourselves we need to
start!
Mistakes aren't a bad thing. In fact, they're a
great way to learn and grow. The key is to be okay with making mistakes and
learning from them.
I know that this sounds counter-intuitive to what
we've been conditioned to believe about mistakes. But when you think about it,
the only mistake in life is when we don't take risks or try new things, when we
don't step outside of our comfort zone. And the only way to learn and grow is
by taking these risks, stepping out of our comfort zones, and making mistakes
along the way of success.
So next time you feel like you're doing something
wrong or that you're not good enough or that you'll never get where you want
just remember: everyone makes mistakes and in order for us to grow and evolve
we need to be willing to do so in order for us to reach our full potential!
It’s not about being successful; it’s about being
happy. It’s not about being “good” enough, but about being good enough for you.
I want to live in a world where people are free to
be themselves, tell their stories, and create work that they are proud of
without fear of judgment or rejection. I want every individual to feel the joy
of living an awesome life!
In this world where we are told at every turn that
we need to be “good” and meet certain expectations, it’s important to discover
what makes you feel happy. And if you want to be happy, then it's time for you
to stop being good and start being awesome.
Do not follow others always. try to create your own
way to success. Always learn from your failures. Never think about giving up,
always keep trying until you will not get your target.
"I am learning from my failure,
it gives me a new idea to avoid failure every time. " - Thomas Alva Addison
“If
you want to be average, do what others do. If you want to be awesome, do what
no one does.” – Alexander Den Heijer
