International Day of Awesomeness

March 10, Monday

The International Day of Awesomeness is a fun, unofficial holiday celebrated on March 10th every year. It’s a day dedicated to celebrating awesomeness in all its forms — whether that’s appreciating the amazing people in your life, accomplishing incredible feats, or simply recognizing the everyday awesomeness that surrounds us.

How Did it Start?
This quirky holiday was created in 2007 by software developer Kevin Lawver. The idea originated from one of his interns, who suggested that March 10th should be a day to honor awesomeness. The date was chosen specifically to coincide with the birthday of Chuck Norris, an internet icon known for his "legendary awesomeness."

Popular Saying
The official tagline of the holiday is:
"No one’s perfect, but everyone can be awesome."
This motto underlines the idea that awesomeness is about effort, attitude, and creativity, rather than an unattainable standard of perfection.

How to Celebrate the International Day of Awesomeness?
1. Perform a “feat of awesomeness”: This could be anything from doing a new personal best (like running your fastest mile) to helping others in unexpected and amazing ways.
2. Express gratitude: Acknowledge and celebrate the awesomeness of your friends, family, or coworkers.
3. Dive into creative projects: Showcase your talents through art, writing, coding, or any other outlet.
4. Share stories of awesomeness: Post about amazing accomplishments or inspiring acts on social media.
5. Organize a fun event: Gather your friends for a quirky, awesome party or activity.

Why Celebrate?
The International Day of Awesomeness reminds everyone to take pride in their abilities, recognize the extraordinary moments in daily life, and share positivity with the world. It’s a day of lighthearted fun and encouragement to live boldly.

So go ahead — celebrate your awesome side and inspire others to do the same!
