Remember when we applied "awesome" to things that truly inspired our awe? Nowadays, everything even slightly above the average is awesome, from Justin Bieber to the newest flavor of potato chips. Still there is plenty of room in our lives for awesome, in the true meaning of the word. Read on.

It's not too late to do awesome things. It feels like it most days, though, doesn't it?

If you want to try something awesome, try it. The Awesome Police will not arrest you. The regular police might if your Awesome is illegal.

If your Awesome isn't huge, so what? Small Awesome is still awesome. Small Awesome also tends to lead to bigger Awesome. Then GIANT AWESOME.

Awesome has no age limit, height limit, weight limit, income limit, education limit, or speed limit. Okay, maybe the last one on the highway

Awesome requires one thing. Work. Even if it's 30 minutes a day. Awesome won't simply show up at your door like a crazy ex-girlfriend.
