Why You Too Are A Superhero

Picture this:

A tanker has overturned. Petrol seeps out and a fire starts. Nearby a young family are trapped in their car. Who can help?

Suddenly, out of the blue, appears the familiar figure of Superhero Superman. Or Batman. Or even Wonder Woman,  Catwoman, Spiderman  or….you!

Okay, while the scenario is pretty unlikely for you to be anywhere near involved, you are still an actual living, breathing Superhero.

And I’m going to show you why!

Superheroes have super powers like the raw strength of The Hulk or the telepathy of Jean Grey. Powers of shapeshifting, invisibility, X-Ray vision and immortality. That give them extreme abilities, supernatural abilities and miraculous life saving abilities beyond recognised human traits.

And so do you!

Most superheroes were once everyday people either having a superpower bestowed on them through some unusual circumstance, or were born with it and tried to live normally but couldn’t surpress their innate mastery. Suddenly, within them a force was unleashed. A whirlwind of energy becoming real. A magical highpowered capability released. Their true nature showing through. Like you and yours.

The hero in you

Heroes are revered. Worshipped where they go. When others witness what abilities they possess. Where their mere presence comforts those around them or reassures that all will be well. That everyone will be safe and sound in the end. When they show up, enter a room or scene, talk, smile and simply just be there.

They are respected, loved, valued, and needed. By people who sometimes are so in awe of all they do and can accomplish that they simply become speechless. Find it impossible to say the words of admiration and gratitude when they are around. Or don’t appear to notice how much they contribute. How much difference they make to the lives around them. Never say, “Thank You”, or “Thank God for you!”.

That superhero is YOU and those people the ones that love you and adore you

Superheroes go about their business without recognition. Hidden behind masks and costumes they save the day whilst remaining anonymous, faceless and unknown. Incognito individuals. Heroes like you can feel the same. That your efforts for your family and those who you love so very deeply goes unnoticed or unappreciated. That you are some nameless non-entity whose only role is to serve others.  Make their lives better at the expense of yours. Not so.

You are a true superhero in their lives. The every single day hero

Every single day others….

• Look up to you and all you are
• Adore you, love you, are attracted to you and idolise you
• Light up when you enter the room
• Smile when they think of you
• Wait to see you, long to see, and look to see you
• Worship you for being in their life
• Could not do without you, could not survive if you weren’t there
• Have a great life because you are in theirs

You are a superhero. No other way to put it. Every day, every where you go and in everything you do someone is thinking about you, loving you, dying to be around you, writing or talking about you, dreaming of you and being amazed that you came along. Like when superheroes do.

They might find it hard to say, uncomfortable to show or difficult to express because they are so in awe of who you are. Your loving partnership and parenthood. Your family ethic. Your spirit, warm character, support of others, determination, integrity, and stature. How you take people’s blues away. A dear friend. And those lovely eyes, caring  hands and that huge, wonderful, beautiful beating heart. That’s there, always there for them. For others. And for the world.

But theirs is there too. Always there. Like you. The Superhero. Our Superhero. Thank you for you. We love you!

So who is your Superhero? What makes them that way? Let me know by leaving a comment. It would be super to hear from you.
