The Book Of Awesome; 1000 Awesome Things

The Book Of Awesome; 1000 awesome things: If you dont know what this is well this guy Neil Parsicha, was having a very rough time in life and dicided to start a blog to help him, he called it 1000 awesome things, later he made his book The Book Of Awesome. http://www.ted.com/speakers/neil_pasricha.html

I found it amazing that someone that had gone through all the obsticals still could have such a postive outlook on life. He finds a way through all the negitivity, all the doubt, all the dissapointment to find the good. Its an art almost, an art many have not mastered. He doesnt let dark times consum his life, and thats pretty rad.
Starting a blog in a lot of ways can help a person. This is a good example, Neil Pasricha Took all his sorrow and negivity and insteed of dewling on it and laching on to the sad and deppesing times, he lets go and find the happienss in the little things, the parts of life that matter and blogs aboutit.
 Even though this blog worked for him and he found ways to be positve, how can you expect one thousands things just to dramaticaly change your out look on life? From what I know when you're sad or angry not alot can change that, so out of all the misery, saddness, or just plain bad things in the world how are we expected to look at the one thousand things good, when there are so many things wrong? It's almost irrating how Neil acts like it so easy just to exept life, to find joy even through existential crisis's, grief, heart break as if even through all the hard times you just have to grieve and  move on. It seems like you would have to be a very happy soul for this kind  positvity just to occur. And thats were it gets me, his ideas and thoughts are so uniqe, yet everyone says it. Everyone says "just be happy" yet they cant find it in themselvs to show how, Neil has found a way to take it apoun him self to say, Life may suck but it's worth it. And thats what it so astonishing about the his blog.

  1. I agree with you entirely. I don't think it is easy to "just be happy." Some people need a lot of help doing exactly that. Others seem to have a different chemistry make up and can let the bad things in life pass them by. However, I do think Neil can be an ispiration in a way. He says we have two choices: 1. be sad or 2. accept life's challenges and focus on your future. His three A's help us understand that choice with attitude, awareness, and authenticity. Love it! Keep working on your own positive outlook... Love you!
