About being awesome...

Hello Friends,

This week a young co-worker stopped by her manager’s desk to share some news. She began the conversation with ‘the first thing I want to tell you is I am awesome’. That immediately caught my attention as it’s seldom I hear a person talk like that. What interested and intrigued me was the way in which she expressed it. There was absolutely no arrogance or conceit in her mannerism. Rather she was genuinely ecstatic about the way she had handled a situation and its resulting outcome and she wanted him to know.

I couldn’t help but smile and think of how great it would be if we often thought about being awesome. We spend so much time focused on those things that absorb our energy and require our attention that we fail to realize those moments when we are truly awesome. Our mission each day should be to find moments of gratefulness and reflection on what we have achieved. We need to find more time to celebrate and whether we say it verbally or just keep it to ourselves simply express as my young colleague so wonderfully did ‘I’m awesome’. Until next time…
