I stumbled across a list. Not just any list. A list that will help me pursue my goal of being as awesome as possible everyday. I don’t want to come off like a tool; because lets face it that’s what it sounds like. My goal is to wake up every morning with a natural smile on my face. Not a care in the world besides how I am going to conquer the day ahead. I want to do this list because I don’t want to be miserable for the rest of my life. I want to step away from my comfort zone and be awesome to myself and others. As a friend of mine once said “Today’s best is tomorrow’s standard”. I’m gonna change “best” to “awesome”.
