This day is a celebration of awesomeness. Take some time today, to identify things in your life that are amazing. Strive to make common things in your life awesome, or do things that are awesome. Are you in a relationship? Is it amazing? If not, it should be. Take steps to make that relationship as fantastic as it can be. This will make you awesome! You get the picture. C’mon, you can do it. As for me, I’m gonna spend some time doing some amazing things. Perhaps I’ll go rock climbing, ride a zip line, or maybe even hang glide. Now that will make me truly awesome!

History and Origin of International Day of Awesomeness
Kevin Lawver, a web application developer, and a bunch of his co-workers conceived this special day. Fred Maneiro, an intern at Lawver’s company suggested that there should be a celebration for awesomeness. Lawver picked up on the idea, created the details around it, coined the day as National Day of Awesomeness, and promoted it on Twitter. The day quickly became global, and the name was appropriately changed to International Day of Awesomeness. Other co-workers, most notably Dan Lurie, also contributed to the development of this holiday.
The original slogan for the day “Because everyone needs an excuse to be awesome”, was created by Dan Lurie. Kevin Lawver’s daughter later came up with the slogan “No one’s perfect, but everyone can be awesome.”
