How to Be Awesome (for boys)

The definition of 'awesome' is defined differently for every individual. However, here are a few tips to improve yourself to your awesome potential. 

Steps

1. Develop the aspects of yourself that aren't so awesome. Remember that there is no standard set of things that everyone wants to be in life. For some, this may mean getting in shape. For others it may be growing musical talent, or reading more books.
2. Be optimistic. If you start realizing life is good, then you're that much closer to being awesome. Try thinking of how much worse life could be to help you appreciate what you have. Also realize that if you are having hard times right now, that things are going to get better, especially if you start feeling optimistic about your life. Being optimistic is easy!
3. Find more things to laugh about. Watch stand-up comedy, listen to comedy cds, podcasts, etc. Listening to comedy will help you see life in a more humorous manner, which is awesome.
4. Try to find your own way of doing things. It will work out for you.
5. Start discovering what you love.
6. Work to try to create the awesome things you love. People will know instinctively that someone who creates things is awesome.
7. Listen to your favorite music and don't be afraid to rock out to it. And if you do it in public, some might think you're crazy, but there's also the possibility that others will think you're awesome for dancing to the beat of your own drum rather than the masses.
8. Don't be afraid of what other people think. There are six billion people on the planet so there is no way that you can get along or please everyone. Instead concentrate on pleasing you first then your loved ones.
9. Tell everyone that you are totally awesome. Confidence is crucial to being awesome, so always believe in yourself, even if you aren't.
10. Make a list of the qualities you think are awesome in others. Ask yourself why you think these things are awesome. Is it something you can attain in yourself? If not, is there something different you could do?
11. You should probably get a catch phrase. Think about it. "Did I do that..?!" How awesome was Urkel?!
12. Suit up !
13. If you aren't the best looking guy out there, develop your sense of humor. People love jokes, especially coming from an ugly dude. Brightens up everyone's day.

Tips

• Join a sports team to help you get in shape.
• When working out, don't start too small; be sure to push yourself (but not too hard! See Warnings). Listen to your favorite songs to get yourself pumped up.
• When trying to be optimistic, think about the future and how you have absolute control over what you will be like when you're older. The fact that you always have the opportunity for self improvement is what makes life so great, and realizing that will make you awesome.
• When discovering new things that you might like, be sure to give things a try if it interests you but not your friends. Your friends should not limit your interests.
• Remember: the key to being awesome is to do awesome things at awesome times.
• Keep a positive attitude.
• Be yourself
• Hang out with awesome people.
• Make sure that what you do is awesome to you. If you don't believe it, no one else will either. If you are lucky enough to know what you care about, run with it!
