Here is a highly inspirational talk on TED from Neil Pasricha, the author the 1,000 Awesome Things website.
His three A’s of Awesome are:
- Attitude – life never goes to plan, but whatever life deals us we need to grieve and then face the future, take baby steps and move on
- Awareness – embrace your inner three year old and see the world as if you are seeing it for the first time
- Authenticity – be you and be cool with it, follow your heart and put in yourself in situations that you love
