It’s funny the way our society treats celebrities.
We watch them on TV or whatever and instantly think to ourselves…
“I wish I looked like that”
“I wish I could find a man like that”
“Wow! He’s got it all”
And who knows what else.
Here’s the truth: YOU have it all.
First, let’s be clear about something – There is no such thing as a “super human”. There are 2,036 human traits listed in the Oxford Dictionary and every single person has ALL of them.
Notice that it’s an even number?
That’s because (like everything in the known Universe) every single trait has its equal and opposite trait.
In other words, we’re ALL:
Kind and Cruel
Honest and Dishonest
Angelic and Animalistic
And on and on that list goes (and if you disagree, read that second one again)…
In other words, inside of every human being on earth exists the entire
facet of human traits.
So if that is true, why do we put these so-called celebrities on a pedestal?
Well, the simple fact is that when someone reflects traits or characteristics that we admire but have disowned within ourselves, we put them on a pedestal.
To put it plainly, when we admire someone we tend to think that they have traits or characteristics that we don’t have.
But as we just discussed, we ALL have ALL of the traits.
So here’s a simple trick to unlock your own “super powers” so that you can be the super hero in your own life that you were born to be.
People call this “Owning The Traits Of The Greats” and here’s (a simplified version of) how it goes.
First, take out a pen and paper and start listing all of the traits about your “superhero” that you think you don’t have (or have less of).
Maybe you think they’re smart, funny, charismatic, talented, handsome… whatever.
Make a list of at LEAST 10 of these traits (I do 20 so feel free to challenge yourself).
Next, we’re going to start owning these traits within ourselves.
So alongside each of those traits you’ve listed think about at least 3 times in your life where you’ve expressed that trait.
If it’s difficult, remember that it’s supposed to be.
Dig deep and find these examples.
Assuming you listed 10 traits and then found at least 3 times in your life
that you’ve expressed those traits then you now have a minimum of 30 examples of how you too have “superhero” qualities.
What this does is remyelinate your brain to start subconsciously
believing these about yourself such that you lift yourself up on that
pedestal, too, and realize that there is greatness inside of you.
And don’t you doubt that for a second.
You were born with gifts to offer this world that no one else can replace.
You matter.
You being here is important.
And this world wouldn’t be the same without you.
Remember that.
YOU ARE POWERFUL.
Alright then. Let’s go crush life and relish in the victory, my friend.
Honoring the greatness inside of you,
