Don't Forget To Be Awesome

So, here's the deal.

The human brain is pretty much the most complicated, advanced and fantastic single object in the universe.

The human body has evolved to a level where it can manipulate the environment around it like no species before it.

In short, humans are powerful.

And we not so much as can, but will use that power to either make the world better or worse.

I know it's easy to get intimidated by the humongous vastness, perplexing complexity, terrifying fragility and downright strangeness of the world.

But, remember: you are at the same evolutionary level at the people who founded philosophy, the men who first harnessed electricity, all the people who came up with the various ideas in politics, those who built Rome, those who built the aeroplane, those who sanitised water the first time, etc, etc.

In order to excersise your potential, you need to be aware of the awesome around you and the awesome within you.
The awesomeness in the world shows that the world is something worth improving, worth defending, worth contributing to. Because it's amazing and beautiful.
The awesomeness within you, your power as a human being and your unique abilities and virtues as an individual, reminds you that it is well within your ability to make good things happen.

In short, there is no excuse for apathy.

Many things are good, and you can make them better.

The slogan of the Nerdfighter community (the best online community in the world ever) is DFTBA- Don't Forget To Be Awesome. The reason this is such a fantastic slogan, is that whether you are awesome or not is down to whether or not you choose to be.
No-one is intrinsically un-awesome. You have fifty trillion cells and billions of neural relays to make use of, as well as a well of intelligence and thought processing. All you need is the will to kick your latent awesome into gear, and make the world better by creating, defending, changing.

So, go for stuff. Don't let your perceived flaws cripple you. You are well equipped to deal with life.

You, my friend, are a bucket of awesome waiting to be thrown onto the world.

Now, GO!
