Today I want to fearlessly share my superpower with you.ย
Although, Iโll warn you, this superpower used to backfire on me before I understood it.ย
I donโt see what is, I see what is possible.ย
This backfired on me as a kid, when I made a decision to jump down my home staircase which was twenty plus stairs. Yes, there was a massive pile of couch cushions and blankets waiting to catch me, but stillโฆ that isnโt something Iโd do again. However in this moment, the possibility of flying through the air, free, was greater than the challenge I faced.ย
This superpower also backfired on me as a young actress in Hollywood. In my mind, I was already a Leonardo DiCaprio type, a natural. I would get scripts to practice from my agent and in my head I was NAILS, yโall... However in the casting office I would crumble under my nerves. This stark awareness of myself is what lead me to chi gong, a practice that helped me cultivate my subtle energy body, so I had a better shot at accessing all that brilliant creativity I felt I had.ย
And, this superpower has backfired on me in personal relationships. Holding space for the highest potential, neglecting the truth that we all have free will. And some people wonโt find their potential in this life.ย
Yes, Iโve suffered sprained ankles, painful ego checks, and heartbreak as a result of this superpowerโฆ But I still wouldnโt trade it.ย
When I look at you, I donโt see what you see.ย
I see your highest potential.ย
I see you already victorious over your greatest challenges.ย
I see you as a champion over your circumstances.ย
I see a world where weโre all this version of ourselves.ย
Even if it takes us a couple generations to get thereโฆ
