The Real Super Power
We all hear about or watch super hero movies, comics, and stories all the time. What if I were to tell you there is a super power out there. And it's available to every human being on the planet?
Would you scoff? Would you laugh? What is this super power you might ask?
The ability to do what you don't feel like doing.
or
The ability to not do what you feel you want to do.
You might laugh when you hear that. But I would rebutt with.
How many times have you tried to change your life, but you can't seem to get it done?
Perhaps you wanted to quit smoking?
Perhaps you wanted to lose weight?
Perhaps you wanted to educate yourself to get a better job?
Perhaps you wanted to learn an instrument or a language?
Perhaps you wanted to attend church more often, or just check it out for the first time?
Perhaps you wanted to relocate?
Perhaps you wanted to learn a sport or start going the gym?
Perhaps you wanted to get into politics?
Perhaps you wanted to help the homeless, or at women's shelters?
Perhaps you wanted to start a not for profit?
Perhaps you wanted to volunteer somewhere?
Perhaps you wanted to foster a child or adopt a child?
The list goes on and on...
Why is it a "super power" you might ask? Well... stop and think.
How hard was it to overcome that obstacle and do what you wanted to do? Or conversely how hard was it to stop doing that destructive thing that you felt was so important and you could not stop yourself from doing it?
No really. Stop. Really stop and think about it for a moment. Don't keep reading yet. Let your thoughts recall the memories. It's important.
Still stopping...
Still stopping...
It's a real world super power.
The ability to do what you don't feel like doing.
or
The ability to not do what you feel you want to do.
But then the question comes up. "How do I get this super power though!?". And the answer is you should pray for it. Honestly. This isn't a joke. If you truly want to change your life and have this super power, ask for it. Do you really think he'll say no? Really?
