Based on the comments from my most recent post and the well-liked statement ¨… I am epic and so is my life,” I have decided to elaborate on the concept of being epic and what it means to me.
1. Always believe in yourself. Be you and don’t worry about getting judged.
2. Be nice, but don’t be afraid to show your inner-bitch (when appropriate). Firmly stand by your beliefs and never be sorry for them.
3. Appreciate the epic-ness of life. If something particularly awesome happens, call attention to it.
4. Don’t half-ass anything. Do everything to the fullest and never fear failure.
5. Eat chocolate daily, just for good measure.
6. Find something you love doing and do it every day, even if its just 5 minutes.
7. Listen to inappropriate music too loudly with the windows down in your car. Head bang and fist pump when necessary.
8. Laugh often but allow yourself to cry when you need to.
9. Have no fear and take no prisoners. Need I say more?
10. And, finally, to steal a popular British phrase, “Keep calm and carry on.”
This is, by far, the best use of the word “epic” I’ve come across since it exploded into our vernacular a few years ago.
Keep on being epic, and it will inspire others to do the same.

Addie, thanks so much for reading and for the — dare I say it — epic comment. I’m so glad you liked what I had to say and even more glad that you love this use of “epic”. I think it is seriously misused!!
Epic post. My favorite phrase has been Keep Calm and Carry On recently! It keeps me going through my day.
thanks, michelle! it is such a great phrase, I repeat it to myself all the time!

I loved this post so much I linked it on my most recent post!
aw thanks girl! I checked out your post too — love the egg info!
Love this post! I think some people are using the word epic way too much so it is nice to hear what it actually means to you!
thanks
yes, it is way overused but since I use it so much (ie, the title of my blog!) I figured I should give it my own definition.
I really enjoyed reading this today – What a wonderful post!
