Elevate your inner awesomeness.
From tight deadlines to conflicts with your neighbour, obstacles come in all shapes and sizes. The biggest one I’ve ever faced was an aggressive cancer.
At first I felt outmatched and unprepared. But as my treatment got underway, I discovered I had plenty of coping skills and tools I could leverage — acquired through a lifetime of blunderful misadventures.
And that’s what Badge of Awesome is all about: the little things you can do and the inner qualities you can cultivate to make whatever challenge you’re facing a little bit easier.
