A friend sent me a message about Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper -
On this Sunday, she writes about our super power. How it is kind of like our cape.
Which then begs each of us to wonder, what is our super power?
I wondered further if our super powers change as our lives change, as our circumstances need different super powers. And can we acquire new ones as we challenge ourselves.
It is hard to self recognize a super power within you.
At least for me.
My cape has been through some tough stuff, and it has been caught up in tight places.
The hardest part is using a new super power for the first time, it feels so unwieldy at first.
And, it can feel like we are an imposter, posing as a badass.
I would think my biggest super power is to be at one with the truth of life.
That, I can wade into it, no matter its contents.
I may flounder a bit if the news is really heavy, but eventually I can find my footing.
Another super power is my ability to be with others as they journey in to some rough waters.
And, the ability to laugh at myself. Seriously, I find that the most humorous of all, the crazy things I misconstrue.
Authenticity and tenacity and resiliency are also capes I wear.
Oh, and adventurous and the willingness to look silly trying new things.
I love this exercise, it helps you see how badass you truly are, and how human.
And, maybe we need to remember to help each other remember their super powers!
Wear your cape proudly!
Super powers are the ways in way we can see how unique and powerful each of us are.
