5 Steps to Becoming Your Own Superhero

1. Identify your superpower

Think of what only you can do, think of what abilities that make you unique and make you a total badass to change this life for the better.

“I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up.” Ironman

2. Help those that are defeated or that need your help (have a cause you stand for)

Stand up for others. Being a superhero is about taking on responsibility for the people you care for and those in your community. When you see someone that is broken or needs assistance, reach out and help them.

"With great power, comes great responsibility." SpiderMan

3. Turn your troubled past into an origin story

Superheroes always have a past riddled with misfortune, but they use those difficulties as a way to propel forward. Their troubles fuel their identity and they turn them into personal fortitude, into a call of action to save others.

“I know what it’s like. To not live up to expectations. To feel like nothing that you do will ever be good enough.” Green Lantern

4. Become as physically and mentally strong as you can

Workout, eat healthy, get physically fit. Level up your will power, your resolve. Do what you say you’re going to do. Get strong where you can take on anything that comes your way.

“You’re much stronger than you think you are. Trust me.” Superman

5. Have integrity, be bold, and face your fears

Superheroes set out into the world with bravery and have a firm grasp of character. It’s not the lack of fear but the ability to rise above those fears and do what needs to be done. Fight for what’s right, never give up, or let yourself be permanently defeated.

“Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up.” Batman

Bonus points if you pick your own theme song

Have a song that powers you up and gets you going into your super life.

With light and love.
