Random Acts of Awesomeness

Ran-dom Acts of Awes-ome-ness:

1. Making someone’s day, making them smile, or blush when they least expect it.
2. Revealing someone else’s or your own “Awesomeness”

I dig the high I get from giving, making someone’s day and plain just being a good human being. If we did it more we’d be happier people. Our self esteem, relationships, work life and sex life would all improve.

Here are just a few of my favorite random acts of “Awesomeness”


Compliment random strangers.

Be authentic, specific and the compliments will really make their day. “That’s a great shirt, the blue brings out your eyes,” don’t be freaky, just genuine, to the point then carry on. You’ll find it becomes an addictive and happily unbreakable habit.

Send a top 10 sign’s of your "Awesomeness" card.

Pick some one you really dig and send them an "Awesomeness" card. Come up with 10 things that make the person you’re sending the card to “Awesome”. Things like, your great hair, sassy attitude, contagious energy, cute accent. Send it to them anonymously.

Use this RAA when a co-worker at the office is having a bad day.

Pass a piece of paper around the office at the top write: Things I love about working with (co-worker). Make the comments anonymous and when the bad day co-worker leaves their desk tape it on their computer screen. When they return it will be impossible for them to stay in a bad mood.

Pick up the tab for a complete stranger.

Pay for the car’s order behind you in the starbucks lane. They’ll tell the story all day and it will inspire others to be better to strangers throughout their day.

Spread gossip over email.

Good gossip that is. For example, if someone sends an email complimenting the work of one of your employee’s forward it to the employee and attach the rest of the team. Title the forward another sign of (praised employee’s) Awesomeness.

Write a fan letter.

Write a letter to your boss, mentor, CEO, grandparent, or parent of an old childhood friend in the format of a fan letter. A small gesture like this will make someone’s year. They’re also more likely to be forgiving about how you came in late for work the other day or haven’t reached out to them for 4 months.

Ask the new guy or the office introvert to lunch.

Ask them about their interest and desires, make them have a blast. Good Karma will come back to when you need a favor or when the boss ask them how they like the job and they rave about your “awesomeness”.

Schedule a play date between you and your favorite kid.

Play Ben Ten, build a fort, buy a couple happy meals, have a food fight then hose each other off in the back yard. You'll have blast being a "big kid" and remember back when life was simple and really fun.

Publically compliment your mate.

Over dinner or drinks with friends when your mate least expects it began telling your friends all the things you love and adore about your mate. Your partner will immediately glow and won’t be able to keep their hands off you for the rest of the night. Score!
