What's Your Superpower?

What’s your Superpower?  

I’ll give you a hint: It comes naturally to you.

You’re an amazing chef.

Your office space is immaculately organized.

Your bedroom is divinely designed.

When people compliment you on these talents, you “just whipped it up” or “just threw it together”.  

You just have a knack for these things.

Here’s the thing.  No one else is downplaying your gifts when they gush over your skills.

So why are you selling yourself short?

Your Superpower is most likely something that you’ve been good at for so long that you’ve lost sight of just how good you’ve gotten, let alone how long it took you to perfect your skill.  When your Superpower comes as naturally as walking to you, it’s so easy to shrug it off as no big deal.

It’s also easy to forget that it doesn’t come easily to most of the people around you, which is why they go nuts over your deceptively simple signature pasta dish or gasp at the genius color combinations creating visual harmony between your comforter and your rug.  

Doesn’t everyone have good taste in the kitchen or their living space?  Can’t anyone whip up a streamlined work area maximized for productivity?

No, Superwoman.  That’s just you.

Your Superpower does not have to be world-altering or the best in the history of time— In fact, it can be removed entirely from any ring of comparison or ranking of importance in the greater scheme of things.

If it’s remarkable and unique to you, it is your Superpower!

Your way with words stops scrolls and captivates audiences.

You paint lovely landscapes from your imagination.

Your fashion sense has you regularly dressed for power moves.

The areas where you excel or thrive in your life are worth your attention and praise.  

Any places, actions, or things where you take responsibility for creating beauty, adding value, or increasing function are only possible because you show up and share your Superpower.

So take a look around, you uniquely gifted goddess, and take note of all the amazing things around you that were born by your hand.

Then bask in it!

You are the only one who can do life and exist in this world the way you do.  

This is worth celebrating.

The next time you feel yourself thriving in a moment and leaning in to your Superpower, don’t shrug it off.  Don’t downplay your contribution.  Own it, and accept those glowing reviews from your community with grace and pride.
