I would like to remind you that you are endowed with superpowers.
While you may not feel powerful or think of yourself as powerful, you are.
It comes with your humanity.
The superpowers to which I refer have nothing to do with money or status or what are generally considered necessary to be influential and, and this is most important, they cannot be taken from you.
You can only give them away.
When you use them, by giving them away, they are immediately replenished so you will never run out.
You have the superpower of friendship. This is the capacity to reach out to people who think they have none.
You have the superpower of generosity – the power to give of your time and talents to others and the ability to share what you have in excess.
You have the superpower of grace – the ability to offer others room for error and failings and the privilege of being as imperfect as each of us is.
You have the superpower of forgiveness. You can offer people, even those who do not deserve it, a clean slate and the opportunity to “start over.”
You have the superpower of hospitality – the capacity to be open and welcoming to others, all others.
Five radical powers all wrapped up in one person, you.
