Awesome! Awesomeness! You are Awesome!
I love that word. I guess it might have something to do with growing up in the 80′s, where it seemed to become very popular, but for me it has stuck. I’ve recently been accused of using it too much and that’s what has spurred me on to write about it! I use it for several reasons: one is because “good” seems to be the new okay and okay the new not so good, but the main reason is it’s the absolute truth.
Definition: awe-some [aw-suh] adjective 1. inspiring awe: an awesome sight.
We are ALL an awesome sight! We ALL come from inspiration, which means: in – spirit. We have labeled ourselves as humans, but that’s really not what we are. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. It’s the same with our names: we are not our names, they really are just our personal labels and given to us by people we just met. We are truly awesome, but most of us forget that fact, so I like to remind people as much as possible of what you really are. My hope is that if you hear it enough you might just start believing you really are awesome.
All growth and positive change happens through some kind of positive reinforcement. Nature does a great job on her own. It’s us “humans” that need it the most. So, please everyone, you are truly AWESOME. Believe it, it’s the truth, keep telling yourself often and one day, all you will see is Awesomeness every where you look!
Just remember all words are not the thing itself (example: The word orange is not the color or fruit) Words are just signs that point to what something is. It’s the energy we put behind the words we say that matter. You know the saying… It’s not what you say, but how you say it that matters and what matters most is the talking that is going on between your two ears. So what anyone say’s to you, is really for them to deal with, what you say to and about yourself to yourself is what counts!
Our most effective way to live an Awesome life, is simply to observe our inner talk, let it be, and focus on something that makes us happy. Why not focus on being AWESOME? You Matter…

♥ Awesome Post ♥ Loved it ♥ AWESOMENESS RULES ♥
Thanks for sharing

What an AWESOME post! I too, have been accused (in a kind way), of using this wonderful word too often, but it just fits, so I continue to use and love this word. I love your post, very inspiring, and so very true, we really are all utterly awesome, thank you!
Hi William! Just wanted to thank you for the positive enery your putting out in the Universe and for welcoming me to your site and twitter page. I am happy to be a part of this awesomeness. Your tweet came at the perfect time. Thanks again
Great writing, great idea, I, too, like the word awesome. But it’s not easy to apply to myself, especially, when I’m clearly not.
Thank you for sharing nice words!
You truly are awesome, because only someone awesome would write that comment!
I enjoyed so much reading this post. It seems, this word ‘Awesome’ can inspire me positively, so I try to be awesome
every time. Thank you so much and you have an awesome heart!
I appreciate your joy-ful words! ;)
Great post William!
YOU are awesome. Thanks for the shout out on Twitter!
Peace.
@mdsapphire
It takes someone awesome to see awesome in another… Peace!
That my freind was truly an awesome blog and I understand the power of words so kudos to you!! Thanks for the inspiration and reminder of how awesome I really am!! Continued abundant blessings to you!!
AWESOME is one of my favorite words…I thought I used it too much lol! Thanks so much for sending this, and we are indeed all totally awesome!
Thank you very nice words.You are totally awesome…
Awesome!! Thank you for the inspirational words, inspiration is like bathing we need it every day.
i just checked out your Awesome blog and its positively inspiring! nice words william,, you are Awesome :)
Thank you, William! It is so important to be reminded of the truth and you are so right – we all have gifts and talents and, most importantly, have love to give and share!
Thank you for writing. These words are so beautiful… In one word: AWESOME!
I truly appreciate the positivity. I think it is so important in time where negativity goes viral on the internet that a breathe of fresh air and voice of truth is sounding in the atmospthere. Stay Encouraged and Thank you for Sharing.
Simple. Clear. True. Awesome. I love it! Truth does not need to be complicated, it speaks to the heart.
Nice work! This is a lovely service to us all — many thanks and every blessing. Keep rockin’!!!
Favorite words; awesome because hey, we all are, lovely (contains the word love), whimsical (because whimsy makes a person feel light and free haha at least me). Also, whimsical rhymes with popcycle which is rather nice. Whatever is great too since it sounds full of possibilites and also helps a person relax. Special. Curious.
Words are such fun. Thanks for this lovely post. So right on :-)
Awesome is God. Awesome is us. We were created to be awesome. Lots of wonderful insight here. Great blog! You rock!
I feel because we were taught that we are all sinner and condemn to death we don’t know who we are…we live a life of brokeness..believing whatever we are told about ourself…we were never taught that we are whole, holy, complete and self sufficent….so how could we ever come to the conclusion that we are AWESOME….I am grateful for the children how coming into the planet…..they will intuitatively know this<3
I agree the kids being born are more open to spirituality, but a lot more, now than ever are becoming aware!
Thank you! I really needed to (read) hear that right now. We use the word Awesome all the time, just usually not when talking about ourselves. I’m going to start reminding myself that… YES, I AM AWESOME..:-) Peace, Love & Laughter to You!
Hi Will,
Wow. :)) Thank you. That message meant alot. Awesome is a beautiful place to reside. Thank you for inviting me in. Should I unknowingly or knowingly leave that place, I have your quotes to lead me back in. :))
at the beginning ,Im glad to meet you too.. .. No doubt that everybody needs to someone lights all of the candles in his personality ..to discover all of the jewelries that are existing inside him …. & you did the same thing to be awesome ..we always need to reinforcement to prove our ability onto destroy all of hesitation which restrict us all the time …william. you matter …. ♡
William,
Thank You! I realized a long time ago having a near-death experience the power of the spirit and that our bodies are the vessel (a place for us to live and to experience the vibrations of life). How we treat ourselves is merely a reflection and culmination of conditioning and experiences. There are many factors that influence the way we view and understand our world. Cultivating an enlightened outlook of life, I believe (belief is another awesome word/concept to explore), is our purpose. Striving to be a spirit of excellence in an imperfect world and with imperfect conditions,with those who are spiritually unaware and have yet to come to know its AWESOMENESS, is a challenge. Socrates said: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” In closing, William you have inspired me today and I’m sending goodness to you exponentially.
Always Awesome,
Emily
You are very welcome & thank you for the awesome comment. You obviously have grown a lot from your experience & saw the magic in the tragic, it’s a shame but so many don’t. I agree, belief is a good concept to explore/question. Usually our beliefs are nothing more than something we have been told and accepted as true, but has no basis in truth. I say question everything and see if it feels right to you than except it and move forward to the next belief experience of life. Sending much goodness back at ya!
Be awesome, be you, stay YOU!
William
Thanks William, pretty cool post:-) love the name too…pocket guru, very creative
Thank you very much for what you do William, today is one of those days when you need someone to tell you that you’re awesome!!! so you can’t forget about it! I’ll try to remember it always!! hope you and everybody here have a great day!! =D
Kind Regards
..Like you say, “..So what anyone says to you is really for them to deal with, and what you say about yourself to yourself is what counts!” Thanks for the reminder. I agree as one of the quotes goes, ‘Life Is An Echo.. What you sow – you reap. What you give – you get. What you see in others – exists in you…”
I thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. I found your inspiration to be like good medicine to many people. This is what the world needs. Keep writing.
Thanks for being such an inspiration in my life, and now Im starting to believe Im awsome!!! love and peace!
WOW! I needed this today! Thank you for your wonderful and uplifting words that remind all of us that we do actually MATTER and that we have the power and energy to be happy. I look forward to reading more. Have an AWESOME day!
Love this blog William! Sooo love that you emphasized the importance of the ‘intention’ of the words, being more important than the actual words. Thanks for shaing! :-)
Thank you for the wonderful words, I too use the word awesome frequently and sometime think I use it too often, but when that’s how you really feel – then just say it – awesome.
The word itself just flows so easily to say.
A W E S O M E !!
Love this post! Couldn’t have said it better myself! ;-)
I couldn’t agree more! Too often we put conditions on loving ourselves. Let’s focus on our inner talk (make it as positive as possible), and also on the energy we put behind our words. Communication is such a large part non-verbal! Great post. :)
Thanks for such an awesome post. The world is a better place because of your words. You are awesome
The world is also a better place because of YOU!
I’m really glad I’ve found this info. Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and net and this is really frustrating. A good site with interesting content, this is what I need. Thank you for keeping this web-site, I’ll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Cant find it.
I was happy to locate this site.I have to thank you for this unique awesome post!! Truly appreciating each and every sentence of it and i also book marked to observe new articles you publish.
Thinking of changing my name to AweSam :)
I have been associated with the word “Awesome” for more than 25 years. It was my nickname from university when I was captain fo the swim team and it has been with me ever since. My sign-off on all my emails is “Be Awesome” becuase we cannot do awesome things or have awesome results woithout first being awesome.
Be Awesome!
Richard
I often want to use the word Awesome but stop myself most of the time because it sounds so 80′s. I also often picture a surfer saying, “Awesome dude!.” I love your claiming/reclaiming of the word. Awesome is a wonder-filled word full of awe. I plan on putting it back into my vocabulary, thank you.
I, You, and We are Awesome!
Peace,
Morgan Dragonwillow
I have the same thoughts of what we human beings are here for but just did not know how to put them into words. It has a nice name. Awesome. We are all awesome. Thanks.
I love this. I think I should read it every Monday when I need a little more inspiration!! ;). My focus today is to be awesome!
Glad you love it! Read it anytime you need more inspiration! Rock your Awesomeness Robyn!
I am trying to spread the smiles, as you are trying to spread the self-confidence. I am awesome because I will re-tweet your awesome tweet :D Thank you, William!
I am awesome because I love people and I cherish God because he has given me so much and I have made it through despite the f act that growing up I was teased because of my having Cerebral Palsy it wasn’t easy but I smile because I am beautiful just the way I am :)
I love this post and it is very timely for me. Thank you!
You William are my new BFF! Those are my absolute favorite words, you can ask any of the bloggers that I have befriended so far. I’m usually dropping “Awesome” or “Awesomeness” in a comment, tweet or a post. Not to mention it’s hidden throughout my website as well. I’m sure a lot of people have been turned off by it, but I think that’s only because they truly don’t understand how freaking Awesome the word is. Or they’re just too stiff to want to understand. In which case, I usually say good riddens. Absolutely loved this post!!! Pure Awesomeness! ;)
I firmly believe that what we put out in the universe comes back to us (good and bad) so I think our time is much better spent focusing on the blessings in our life than what we wish we have.
I couldn’t agree more! When you focus on your blessings in life, your are attracting more stuff to be blessed for. Simple and powerful!
I cannot believe I have spent and wasted so much time being angry for things that happened to me in the past, and for having Breast Cancer (recently diagnosed.) There is so much to be happy about and so much to be thankful for. I am happy to follow you on twitter. I need the positive reinforcement.
You are so right, their is much to be thankful for… just realizing that fact is another great thing to be thankful for. So many live a life of regret are thankful for very little if anything, congratulate yourself for not being one of them. I’m honored that I can provide positive reinforcement to you and thankful for people like you who give it right back, we all need it and the more the better! Appreciate you, much love & +energy!!!
Great post! Positive reinforcement and believing in ourselves is key to being happy and living a productive life, however, we also need to have the courage to sit down and take a close look at what is not so great about ourselves and muster the courage to change it. It is knowing the power within us to transform ourselves and overcome that makes us feel like a million bucks!
Thank you for tweeting this!
It is a great word and very uplifting. Anything positive in my book is well worth it. William you are ‘awesome’ to write this very inspiring article. Best to you!
I am in good company and so are you! Call it growing up 80s baby from Beat Street, breakdancing to Madonna lace gloves, singing “Lucky Star,” to now out of fashion Cross Colors… I love the word AWESOME and I use it often. My typical affirmation of something good-great is AWESOMENESS!! I loved the word is used over and over by my dear friend Po in Kung Fu Panda. We are truly awesome. Life is full of awesomeness and I am in awe that I have an AWESOME community. Thanks for shining your light, sharing your voice… truly AWESOME!
~Angel @luvenlightens
Very nice! or should i say very Awesome!? I like the term awesome, it is like a step above being “cool” but like in a positive more uplifting way. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this with me today, William. Couldn’t have come at a better time.
Yes I know I’m awesome. You are none too shabby yourself.
Remembering that we are AWEsome is one of our lessons coming here on Earth. Remembering that we are a part of something so great and yes lets say: AWEsome.
As I have written about having FAITH, it is as you Williams mentioned it, not just a word. It is breathing it and feeling it with each and every cell in our physical body.
Going through a day, one can not only see how many of these “wanderers on Earth” have still a way to go. Letting go of this old habits and illusion and remember the “AWEsemness” of us and all that is.
So it is
In love and light

I agree, 100% and this is exactly what my practice is now. Since brain science can show that we are essentially making up the story of our life via perception, we may as well be AWESOME instead of telling ourselves we are awful….we are individually, uniquely Magnificent! So shine everybody, go ahead and SHINE!
Awesome post (no pun intended). Thank you. I needed to hear this today.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
Wonderfully stated. So true, we really do need to pay more attention to our inner dialogue and focus on instilling positive thoughts toward ourselves. I grew up in the 80′s too, so I can totally relate ! Awesome blog, thankyou ! :)
William,
Great blog post. You know I completely agree with these words. :) What we say to ourselves greatly impacts our life. I believe everyone of us are awesome, some of us just need to discover that truth and truly believe it. If more people would, there would be more peace on Earth. :)
Hugs!
Joanne
Thank you for such a self-less and inspiring message. It’s so easy to get busy with the workings of day-to-day life, that we forget to stop and just ‘be’…be awesome.
Thank you for sharing,
Tiffany
Love it love it love it. See, a new word has taken hold #teamaweseomeness. Got to love all the connections and kindness being spread tonight. Thanks William, you deserve an Angel.
I hereby celebrate my awesomeness and yours!!! Whoo Hoo!!!
Awesome post! and Awesomely written. Love using positive uplifting words. I am a clinical hypnotherapist and words have power. Much prefer using words like awesome and my pleasure rather that the words “No problem”. When I say thank you and someone replies “NP”. I wonder if it was a problem? Much prefer someone to say my pleasure. Leaves me feeling great about the exchange. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks for putting such amazing, positive energy out to the world. You are the master my friend! Giant hugs and lots of love for being so AWESOME!!!!
First, let me say that I truly enjoyed this short read. :)
With that being said, I agree 100% with your main thought. Using the word “awesome” for exactly what is, an adjective, conveys a way of self thought, which can help someone feel better about themselves, it gives a person a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Wouldn’t you agree, that when you are told by someone else that you are “awesome”, your immediate thought process is that I am the “$hit”! So, my question is: why not use the word awesome more often??
I totally agree with you and that is the main reason I felt compelled to write about Awesomeness. We all would do well, to use it much more than we currently do! Keep it Spicy, Diva!
The words have the meaning that we give them. Our internal mantra is what we tell ourselves and in return, it is what we tell the world about ourselves. We attract what we sow. Great blog, William. Awesome-sauce! ;) Cheers, my friend. Thank you for sharing this powerful message.
Agree with your logic. Words are not the thing. Until we put our energy behind them. We need to put our energy behind a strong, forceful, positive inner talk – and derive its full benefita.
Indeed ~ we are awesome ~ just like every wave that arises out of the ocean is awesome ~ but sometimes the wave forgets its source, its essence. And needs to be reminded :-)
Thanks for reminding us today. You are awesome :-)

Hi, William!
I’m just as guilty for using the word, “AWESOME” a bunch. BUT I believe the same, the more you ise it with people, the more they have a chance at beliving it for themselves. Words are seeds, plant the good ones and water it constantly and you;ll have a person looking great inside and out!
Love your inspiration!
Keep it up!
Laurie Popovich
Yes, we are all awesome. For some reason over the years, our spiritual sense of self has been diminished to “being what we own” or “the success we have acquired”. Wrong, we are all children of God, made manifest in the highest form of awesomeness – I know there is no such word, but I like it anyway, so I am using it. I am not talking religion here, I am talking about the fact that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and we have the opportunity to not only inspire others but to honor ourselves too. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn’t agree more! Very well said.
P.S. Who gets to decide what is a word and what is not? I say AWESOMENESS is most definitely a word!
Great. So we can make up our own new words because we are indeed awesome. So wonderful to hear all the comments and see the number of retweets. Very Awesome indeed. BTW, How do I get my avatar to show our twitter picture versus the design that shows up?
Thank you for the awesome words and inspiration here, William! I sometimes get too caught up in what I’m trying to say and when I’m feeling awesome the energy flows and the meaning is there, real, genuine and sincere. Tomorrow is an important day for me and stumbling across your site has given me fortitude!

I am grateful that my words, had a positive impact on you! Make your important day come out the way YOU want & don’t take it to seriously, let it flow! All the best on your big day… much love!
