We Are All Awesome

As you probably already know, Molly is launching an exciting new program any day now, called Joy Juice. As one of the beta testers, I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at what this gem-of-a-joy-strategy is all about. I won’t reveal the specifics of the prompts I got to see (you’ll have to drink the Juice yourself to find out!). BUT, I am delighted to share with you this little nugget of self love and acceptance that one of the Joy Juice emails yielded:

Hey World!

You know what? I am awesome. My name is Laura – or Big L for short – and I bring a lot of awesomeness to the table.

For starters, I’m smart. I’m a thinker. I come up with a lot of ideas. I can always be counted on for that. I’m one of those people who knows a little bit about a lot of things, which comes in handy, really. Whether it’s news, celebrity gossip, movies, music, business, or sports, I can help keep the conversation going. And aside from love, conversation makes the world go round, doesn’t it?

You know what else? I’m a lover, not a hater. That’s some awesomeness that you can appreciate, I know. I see goodness in lots of things and creatures. I mind my manners, am conscientious, have lots of compassion and empathy to offer, and I hand out smiles real easily. I’m sure the people at Starbucks, my friends and family, and my fur babies love that. They’re on the receiving end of lotsa smiles.

Speaking of smiles, I’m great at making people laugh. Not in a shoulda-been-a-comedian kind of way, but in an honest, cute, witty kind of way. I think people who make me laugh are awesome, so that must make me awesome, too.

I’m brave, confident, often fearless, and put unwavering trust in a lot of people and things. I know for a fact that’s something other people find awesome about me. “You inspire me!” they claim. “You’ve got balls!” they declare. As far as compliments go, those are pretty juicy ones, don’t you think?

I’m a darn good dancer, too. I don’t know if that counts as something you benefit from, world, but dancing makes me feel damn awesome, so I’ll count it anyway!

I’m creative in a lot of ways, dancing is just one way I express it. Whether I’m scrap booking, collage-making, brainstorming, writing, or problem solving, I’ve always got something crafty or innovative up my sleeve. I know my family, friends, colleagues, and clients have all benefitted from that in one way or another. Creativity is a pretty awesome vibe to bring to the world. Most days, we don’t rely on it enough, I don’t think.

So there it is, world. Some of the ways I bring my awesome to you – right there, in black and white.

Big Hugs,
Big L

 

We’re all awesome in so many ways, aren’t we? The key is to remind ourselves of it often. To spell it out, even if it seems silly. Trust me, doing so can bring a lot of sunshine to an otherwise gray day.
