"I meant to call him/her over the holidays, but things got so busy..."
"I've been meaning to check in to see if she's ok."
"I wanted to try this new restaurant, but I don't have anyone to go with."
"I want to go [insert place here], but now isn't a good time."
Y'know that thing you've been meaning to do? Just do it. For some things, the time you've spent thinking about it is the time you could've done it already.
Be awesome to yourself and just do it already.

#421: Inspire (Friday, January 23)
When you think of the people who inspire you, what do they have in common?
For me it's their authenticity; their ability to live life honestly, openly and on their own terms.
One of the most awesome things you can do in life is to inspire others. Whether it's intentionally through sharing your story (the highs and the lows) or offering encouragement to someone; or unintentionally through your energy and a living a life of purpose, you can really motivate someone to live a better life.
Be awesome, inspire someone.

#420: Be Mindful (Friday, January 16)
We all have busy, stressful lives and a lot going on. You can be awesome to someone by just being mindful of their situation. Whether it's a "thinking of you" text, or just making their lives easier by offering to help take something off their plate, being aware of others' personal trials can go a long way.

#419: A Great Recommendation (Friday, January 9)
"Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference."
A good word goes a long way. And while the quote is true - that those who are beautiful human beings need no letter of reference - even they can use a little help sometimes.
Know a wonderful person who could use a great recommendation? Be awesome and give one.

#418: Be Awesome to Somebody (Friday, January 2)
Happy New Year! I'm thrilled to be with you for another year! As you know, the first Friday of the year, I usually reveal the year's theme.
This year, I had a choice between two really good themes and I debated up until the last minute. My decision was made for me when I learned about a barber on Instagram who uses his one day off each week to give haircuts to the homeless. He uses the hashtag #BeAwesometoSomebody to chronicle his volunteer work.
I'm sure we're all awesome to the people in our lives. But imagine how much more awesome you could be (and to more people) with some purpose and intent behind it. I've learned that it is really the simple things that make the most impact.
How will you be awesome to someone this year? You have 52 chances.
And speaking of awesome, I ended the year with $1,378. It felt so great, I'm going to do it again - in reverse
