Last week I had an opportunity to spend some quality time with my family. When I entered my aunt’s home, my grandmother turned to my mother and asked, “Is that your child?” My mother said, “Yes, that’s your granddaughter.” My grandmother responded by saying, “She is so beautiful, inside and out.” She continued to look at me and repeat this same sentiment in various ways throughout the afternoon.
“You are so beautiful, inside and out.”
By medical standards, there are terms used to diagnose my grandmother’s tendency to repeat the same questions or statements over and over again, but I see it differently. What some might view as short term memory loss, I perceive as being fully present and in the moment. This is a state of being that many of us hope to achieve because too much focus on the past may lead to depression and too much focus on the future may lead to anxiety. All that truly exist is right now.
What if we reframed the way that we think about our deficiencies, disabilities and flaws? Instead of seeing them as something that is wrong, what might it look like if we viewed them as our superpowers? Think about it. If I hadn’t experienced depression, I never would have written poetry, created art, published books, or started writing these messages for you. My grief gave birth to my gifts.
This week I challenge you to identify an area in your life that seems like a setback and shift it to your superpower.
