Just Go Be Awesome

from R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation; Research Life; Striving Towards Happiness · host David Maslach

I don’t know who needs to hear this today,but here it is:Just go be awesome.We don’t say that enough.We don’t hear it enough.We spend way too much time looking at what’s broken in us,and not nearly enough time seeing what’s already working.Most of us live like we’re permanently flawed.Like we’re only worth something if we fix ourselves.That’s a lie. That’s pre-Enlightenment thinking.You are already awesome—because you show up.My kids complain about school like all kids do.But they go. Every day.And that’s awesome.We focus so much on whether people are performing,we forget how remarkable it is that they even show up.You’re here. You’re trying. You’re learning.That’s the hard part.Forget what the algorithm wants.Forget what the critics say.Most people who try to drag you downare just unhappy with themselves.They’ll frame their criticism as “tough love.”But it’s often just projection.What helps you grow is not shame.It’s not guilt.It’s encouragement.If something’s hard but worth doing—make it fun.Turn it into a game.That’s how you grow and keep going.So just go be awesome.Do something kind.Do something silly.Do something boring but brave.Do something just because it feels right.This life?It’s already short.Make it yours.
