Neil Pasricha: The 3 A's of awesome

Neil discusses that through that his own adversity and tribulation he is able to overcome and really focus in on the wonderful things that he has taken for granted. He delivers a bold message about how very special and unique every single moment is. He emphasizes that NOW is the time to enjoy things and strive to rise up above the negativity that surrounds us sometimes. In reality you will have some terrible times, but it takes strength of character and tenacity to find the positive and let that envelope your attitude. It isn't about disregarding the negative but rather resolving to the positive things in spite of the negative.  He says something to the effect of  "So many amazing things out there and yet we only have 100 years to experience it". The preciousness of NOW is too great to forget.  I find this powerful idea to be dead on as it speaks to me personally in many ways.

Also as a side note the idea of how a a little blog like his own got to be so big is again a further reinforcement in the notion that we can all make big changes. 50,000 blogs are started a day, his however overcame those odds for sticking out.
