Is Everything Really Awesome? Yes.


To the world, death is not considered awesome.

To the daredevils, injuries are not considered awesome.

To the innocent, hardships, illnesses, and poverty are not considered awesome.

And they would be right if awesome had a different definition.

So wait just one moment.

What exactly does awesome mean?

To cause awe and wonder?

Not the definition I'm searching for.

I'm searching for it's stronger, secondary meaning.

The meaning that is that of a sudden rush of inspiration.

To inspire growth, change, and empowerment.

So now, is everything awesome?

Yes.

Everything comes with an opportunity for growth.

Every hardship comes as a test and a welcoming to better oneself or those around them.

Every injury comes with the motivation to heal and improve.

Every death comes with the motivation to live on and obtain all goals in life.

Life is precious.

Life is awesome.

Open your eyes, world, and witness the awesomeness that revolves around you.
