Journaling: #4 Drops of Awesome
I started thinking of all the times I do something good while beating myself up for all the times I havent been perfect.
Drops of Awesome! I thought. Every time you do something good, something kind, something productive, its a drop in your Bucket of Awesome. You dont lose drops for every misstep. You can only build. You can only fill.
When I started thinking about my life in terms of adding these little Drops of Awesome for every tiny act of good, I found that I was doing more and more of them because its a lot more fun to do good when youre rewarded with joy, rather than being guilted about every failure in your past.
As I added up these Drops of Awesome, I found that in those moments I actually became the person I had always wanted to be.
In the end, its really about allowing yourself to feel joy and allowing yourself to be proud of the small victories of life. This builds momentum and you want more drops in your bucket and when you dont get as many, you pick yourself up and say, What can I do next?
Small and simple. Tiny drops. Go forth. Be Awesome.
