The Agudo Family
(From left to right: Jesus, Chris & Iliana)
ABC News13 YOUTUBE Video on the AGUDO's
Before April 2010 reasons for living were just a handful; not much effort was put into living our lives to the fullest. Every day for us was just that, another day, nothing special." -Agudo family.
On April 10th, 2010 their views on living life were forever changed when seventeen year old Christopher, made the decision that he no longer had any reason to live and tried to end his life by the means of suicide. Living Is So Big started as a campaign. Only a "handful" of reasons were simply not enough. Jesus Agudo and Iliana Agudo were going to take whatever steps necessary to change their son's perception on life and wanting him to live life to the fullest. So, a plea for help went out: "Please send us your priceless thought so that we can show him the many reasons to live for." Additionally, "livingissobig.com" was created and 200 Living Is So Big wristbands were ordered and purchased the same night. The family began approaching people on the street via festivals and events, asking them for one thing for which they were grateful in exchange for one wristband. People were touched and wanted to help. They started giving reasons why they were happy and why they appreciated their lives. It worked, as Christopher was able to return to the light and leave the darkness for good. Our family has been paying it forward ever since.
For the Agudo family, living life itself no longer carries just a "handful of reasons". Through the help of strangers, the realization was made that living itself is so big, and life itself should always be appreciated.
Living Is So Big (LISB) is about life appreciation. It may be easy for some of us to say, “Yes, I appreciate my life.” But with so much clutter, distraction, and negativity many of us tend to forget about the living aspect of life. We only have the now. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. This moment, right here and right now, we have a choice. We can choose to appreciate the many blessings that each of us have. We can choose to change our perception and begin to realize that “nothing happens to us and everything happens for us.” Each day is a learning experience, and it is through this universal experience that we grow.
Focusing on the positive aspects of our lives and expressing gratitude for them will allow for wonderful things to happen for us. This is exactly what happened for Christopher Agudo. A negative thought cascade brought him to the brink of ending his life, and a positive thought cascade of reasons, good things that existed for him even when he felt like life wasn’t worth living, are exactly what brought him out of his depression and has forever changed his life for the better. Understanding and implementing this can, at times, be difficult to do. Living Is So Big is here to help.
Today, Jesus (father), Iliana (mother) and Christopher (son) are touring the United States to reach people with the desire to effect a positive change in their lives. To date, they have traveled over 70,000 miles and have visited 70+ cities. They go to middle & high schools, universities, businesses, stores, and events spreading the message of Universal Life Appreciation.
LISB spreads awareness about the positive and uplifting moments in life that most of us tend to pass over, forget, or take for granted. It has become easy for us, in this day and age, to focus on the aspects of life that make us feel uncomfortable. It seems we have been conditioned to dwell in feelings of sorrow and despair. This narrow form of thinking ultimately blinds us from the bigger picture; that Living Is So Big. The ones behind LISB are helping people realize that the world and everything in it is beautiful.
Regardless of what anyone is going through, it is the intention of LISB to make their day brighter, and more fulfilling. They want to assist people in finding their own reasons to continue living. They want to help people develop genuine appreciation for the little things in life.
Throughout this website, you will find people from every walk of life promoting their own personal reasons why Living Is So Big. Each reason is equally important and profound. You are encouraged to share yours!
"Help us spread Universal Life Appreciation throughout the world. Together we can make someone’s day a little better. And whether we reach one individual or billions, a smile created is beyond priceless. Your reason may just save a life!" -Living Is So Big Team.
LISB is gaining support all over the world, reaching many places across the globe including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Africa, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Egypt, France and many more. Join in on the fun and help others realize that Living Is So Big!.

EIGHT LIVING REALIZATIONS
Primary ELR
The primary of the Eight Living Realizations will solely reflect on you. It is the “I am” that will be main the focus.
It is what you are within each Living Realization. See yourself as being each word that comes to mind.
Envision yourself as the Primary ELR before moving on to any Secondary ELR.
For Example: I am Life, I am Family, and I am Friends, so on and so on. It helps to reflect the best or worst YOU when you dig deep into each realization.
Secondary ELR
The secondary of the Eight Living Realizations will solely reflect on what is around you. It is the “I have” that will be main the focus.
It is what you have around each Living Realization. See yourself as having each word surrounding you that comes to mind.
More information on page 2 at bottom of this page.
It will make you think of many reasons to live for. We want to make you aware of the many realizations that revolve around you. We must make ourselves more aware of what good exists within and around us everyday.
It’s all around us. We just need to remove our blinders to see it. Stop focusing on the clutter and distraction. See the positive in all and focus on it. This book will help you better understand on how to achieve "The Power of Life Appreciation"(TM) .
Throughout our journey, we met many great individuals and they shared what their reasons were for living. After reviewing the many reasons, we discovered and broke it down to what we now call the "Eight Living Realizations".
You must first understand that your thoughts of these “Eight Living Realizations” must be with good intentions. Dig deep and begin the journey of finding the many reasons to live for. Once you find them you will begin to understand that living is in fact so big. Look within, explore yourself and more importantly make the realization.
Start by reading the Eight Living Realization affirmations listed on the previous page. It will put you in a place where you can begin to really focus on the other reasons that surround you. It all begins with Life then it moves on to Family, Friends, Feelings, Enjoyment, Kindness, Spiritual and finally Infinite.

"It was wonderful having Iliana and Jesus speak at Boston University; their vigor for life and passion behind LISB was apparent throughout their entire presentation. They were glad to share their intimate experiences with others who asked about the LISB wristbands or who had witnessed their presentation.
LISB is all about recognize how beautiful life is, and it was hard to walk around afterwards without a smile on your face. Thanks again! "

"Jesus and his family with LIVING IS SO BIG has come to the My Daddy Taught Me That program at least three times in the past year. During each visit the group has taken away some vital, valuable information. More importantly the group was left with a confidence, respect, and self awareness for life that will positively impact our youth going forward.
What stands out the most is the PASSION that is displayed with Living Is So Big. Through the message that is shared and the way it’s delivered that passion is definitely felt.
Living Is So Big has made a tremendous impact on the program and is considered a true part of the My Daddy Taught Me That family."

"I organized an event for Living Is So Big and the Agudo family to speak at Sparta High School in hopes of having everyone's spirits uplifted and days made just a little bit better. What I did not know is that event would change my life and the lives of everyone else that attended. The Agudo family and their mission of life appreciation provided a source of hope to those that were desperate, a source of inspiration to those that were doubtful, a source of happiness to those that were depressed and a source of gratitude for all of the small things in this world that truly do make "Living So Big."
For just over an hour, everyone in the Sparta High School Auditorium was able to forget about their worries and their life's problems and appreciate the simple joys of life and what they do have. I am extremely thankful for all that the Agudo family does and for how many lives they have selflessly changed through similar events and through just being living examples of how life is supposed to be lived...with love, affection and pure intentions to all."

When I asked my students who was their favorite speakers for the semester, it was hands down Living is so big. They truly inspired my students to make changes, help others and live their best lives. I left the presentation feeling inspired and motivated to make personal changes in my own life. I'm looking forward to having them back again.
