My friend, Austin, has a talent for drawing his friends as superheros and not only is his artwork impressive, but also with his pictures, you can’t help but think how exciting it would be to be an actual superhero! What if you could fly? Or had superhuman strength? What would be your superpower?
Of course, our imagination can go just about anywhere when asked these questions, but it did get me thinking, why can’t we be our own superheros? We each have a story, like every other superhero, and since we all are the protagonists of our own story anyways, who better to be the superhero in it than ourselves?
Granted, we do not possess spidey- like senses or have a knack for jumping through burning buildings, but at the same time, we each possess incredible superpowers that a lot of times we take for granted- knowledge and the ability to continuously learn. With these powers we can become strong beyond measure.
Like our superhero counterparts, we have various opportunities throughout our lives to overcome great obstacles, defeat villains, and face our kryptonite in order to grow as individuals. That being said, we have to train, develop, maintain, and embrace our superpowers fully in order for us to keep up with the rest of the superhero gang.
Whether it is by continuing your education at school, moving up in your career, or traveling the world, there are various ways to develop your superpower. We all have it in us, but we just have to acknowledge the strength it has and and be the superhero of our own epic story.
