20 Ways to Be Amazing
Amazing comes in all shapes and sizes, colors, sounds, textures and tastes. It fits and looks good on everyone, so if you are reading this right now, chances are you’re already amazing! A while back in Spread the Love, I shared some ideas of how to use the one thing you need, according to the Beatles, and how to bring it to people around you. After all it’s pretty simple — if you want to be amazing, do amazing things (read above about amazing coming in all shapes and sizes!). Here’s a quick list:
- Wake up inspired.
- Under no circumstances should you put your dreams on the back burner.
- Know your strengths and play up to them.
- Know your weaknesses and work on them.
- E-mail someone to tell them how much they’ve inspired you.
- Hand make your gifts, and give them to those you love whether it’s their birthday or not.
- Spread the word about things you love/have helped you so that they may do the same for others.
- Treasure relationships above all else. Everything would be pointless without those that make up our world!
- If you’re thinking of doing something, do it NOW.
- Learn to accept constructive criticism, for easy/pleasant it is not!
- Say hello/good morning/good afternoon to the store clerk before you ask, to the bus driver as you pay the fare, to your waiter before you order…
- That said, be kind to waiters! Just because that’s their job doesn’t mean it’s their only aspiration in life. It may not require a 4.0 GPA, but you try running around with trays full of drinks and remembering everyone’s order. I know I’d be a mess!
- Regard yourself highly but don’t boast. Just don’t do it.
- If someone is disrespectful, there’s no need to be nasty and start shooting them with every insult you know, but there’s nothing wrong with putting someone in their place. Don’t let anyone trample on you, but be classy about it!
- Let everyone you love know it, every day, any way you want.
- Think less “I want [object]” and more “I want to do [activity/goal/project]“.
- Own your mind.
- Allow yourself to be unreasonable every once in a while.
- Always be curious.
- ‘Be the best version of yourself you can be’.
A fantastic list! Number 20 is my favourite and I think everyone should write it somewhere that they see everyday. We don’t have to be perfect, just strive to be the best we can be. Love it, thank you! x

I think number twelve is so important! Waiters, and all other people working in the service industry deserve to be treated with respect! :)

Wow! Such a great list of ways to be amazing. I love all of them, however one of my favorites is #16, it reassures me that I want to succeed in learning Hebrew not obtain a new “thing.” I think when you do something for yourself it makes you more happy then if you just bought yourself something. :)

I love these suggestions, lovely Luana! In fact, I MAY just print these out and stick them in my new diary!
Wow. Just wow. In a good way, of course.
#16 is really an amazing one. I need to think more- “I want to practice dance.” and not so much “I want (insert thing)”
