Live your Superpowers

by Rod Smith

No-strings-attached Superpowers 

All humans have Superpowers. When acknowledged and deployed, we have the capacity to radically positively transform our immediate circle of influence.

Hospitality is a superpower. As powerful as opening our home to guests and strangers is, it goes beyond that. It’s opening our hearts to all whom we encounter. It’s simple friendliness, a no-strings-attached welcome to all. 

Generosity is a superpower. It’s instinctive to share, to give, to alleviate burdens for others. When we extend this natural gift to those who least expect it from us, it elevates natural generosity into a superpower. It’s planned, no-strings-attached sharing of time and resources. 

Listening is a superpower. When we offer people undistracted, no-phone-glancing attention or one-eye-scrolling distraction and hang onto every word someone says, we validate his or her story, his or her existence, and our own. It’s a no-strings-attached gift proclaiming “I see, hear, value you” in an often indifferent world. 

Equality is a superpower. The capacity to treat all other people as equals (which we are) and with respect (which all deserve) is a superpower. We can learn powerful lessons from anyone and everyone. This no-strings-attached acknowledgment of the treasures within all people, respects and elevates and empowers all.

Combine and live The Four, and you may well unearth beauty and power you’ve intuitively always known are within you.
