3 A's of Awesome

We all hit moments when life seems overwhelming. Neil Pasricha's talk was really eye opening for me. We have been talking about perspective the last few weeks, whether its perspective on mistakes, being wrong, or on things that are going badly in our life. Perspective is a huge key to everything we do. As has been evidenced over the last few weeks of discussion and Tedtalks. It's present in everything we do, and we are the only ones who control our perspective. I know that wasn't the main point of this talk, but in a bigger picture frame of things, that's the common thread I've been noticing. As it has applied to the past discussions we've had as a council, it also applies to this. To the appreciation and awareness of the amazingly great lives we all get to lead, even if they are fraught with individual stresses and worries. I know, it's tough to remember that when we get a 69% on a test, and it's tough to remember when we feel like our friends have changed, or when someone we care about dies. . . but in the end it's important to remember to step back, realize the great thigns we have been given, and appreciate them. All of them. And go on living our lives!
