What does it mean to be amazing?

The word amazing is just as broad of a word as it could ever be.   And it is of common knowledge that dreams are accomplished easier if we can give a concise definition to them.   So here is how I define amazing:

1. Doing well on things that you spend your time

            It is alright to have different interests than everyone else.  In fact, it is encouraged.  But, for whatever you spend your time on, remember to put your best foot forward.  That being said…

2.  Except don’t do well on everything

            It may seem a bit contradictory to what I mentioned earlier, but it is important to try new things.  So, pick one or two things to do well and choose wisely, (Later, I will explain the importance of practicality) and then spend the rest of your time getting acquainted with what life has to offer.  The world is a book; make sure you don’t stay on one page.

3.  Love and be loved

            Think people often forget that love is not just between a significant other, but also, between so many people in your life.  Amazing people tell their friends and family they love them.  They form bonds and create memories.  You can never feel amazing if you are going at it alone.

4.  Be yourself, but a first rate version of yourself

            Everyone has something that makes them unique.  Everyone has their own series of faults, talents and just personality traits that we can really only associate with them.  Some people try to hide who they are.  They want to fit in, so they wear the same clothes and act the same.  They do things they don’t enjoy doing and they become something that they think they should be instead of something that they are.  To be amazing, you must not only accept who you are, you must embrace it.  Love your weirdness, your talents, and your quirks because if you didn’t have them, you wouldn’t be unique and that’s all that matters.
