Your Superhero Powers

In thinking about a book I read years ago on creating one’s own reality, I remember thinking at the time, what a silly thing to write about. No one creates their own reality. And if we had that kind of power, I thought at the time, I would be creating something substantially better than what I had.

But over the years I’ve learned, usually the hard way, that our mind is always working, every second–sleeping or awake–and if we aren’t mindful of what we are creating we’re going to be creating lots of things we’d rather not have.

That’s exactly what the concept of Super Powers is all about. It’s realizing just how powerful our mind really is. If we are to be the Heroes that inspire others then it starts (as of course we know it always has) with ourselves, how we are creating our world. Someone said everything in our lives comes from either love or fear, and one of our jobs as leaders and Heroes is to live our lives from the perspective of giving and sharing instead of reacting from fear.

Maybe super heroes don’t fly around in capes or call attentin to themselves anymore. Maybe they are the quiet ones who understand the incredible power they have in creating what goes on around them based on their beliefs, and they inspire others through their peace, joy and openess to everything happening in their world.
