1000 Awesome Things

His Story:
SPOILER ALERT!
Go watch the video first, if you want of course!

--Everything was going almost perfectly in his life until around 2008 and 2009. it was about ice caps melting, wars going on around the world, earthquakes, hurricanes and an economy that was wobbling on the brink of collapse, and then eventually did collapse. His marriage was falling apart, and then it did. And along with all of that, his friend, who was battling cancer, took his own life. He was in a terrible situation and one night, came home from work, logged onto the computer and made a website called 1000 Awesome things.(  http://1000awesomethings.com/ ). On his website, he talks about the tiniest things in life that make everything seem a little bit better, Awesome Things. Everything from Seeing baby photos of your boyfriend or girlfriend for the first time to The core of a cinnamon roll to Going really fast over speed bumps in the back of a school bus (those are just some of the most recent ones). He thinks of the smallest, yet most amazing things in life...(: GO CHECK IT OUT!
The 3 A's:

  • Attitude 




  • Awareness




  • Authenticity





  • So Attitude:
    -Of course, it is always good to have a positive attitude but it's also best not to get your hopes up. You know? I'm Not really sure what to say for this, I am not in a blogging mood so it's hard! D:

    Awareness:
    -You Got'sta be AWARE!  Like Neil said, 3 year olds are so aware of what is around them. We should be like that! Go on some nature walk or something. Find crazy things that you've never seen before, take pictures, Do stuff!
    -I don't even know what this means! I googled it, and nothing explained it very well...so, if you really want to know how I feel about this, Comment and I will edit it into this!
