The best way to find your superpower ( s ) is to ask yourself “ What do I best like about myself ?”

Exercise

The best way to find your superpower ( s ) is to ask yourself “ What do I best like about myself ?”
And you ’ re not allowed to say , “ Nothing .” It ’ s not true . There is always something you find admirable about yourself , even if it ’ s small .
• Once you ’ ve identified at least one thing , ask yourself : “ How often do I minimize this strength of mine ? Do I think being _______ ( nice , quick , efficient , thorough , etc .) doesn ’ t mean much ?” If you think this , you couldn ’ t be further off base . Each one of those attributes is a huge superpower !
• Go back as far as you can remember — all the way to high school , and maybe further back to when somebody told you that you were super agile on the monkey bars .
Another great way to get a handle on your superpowers is to ask your friends and family members what they admire most about you . Don ’ t dismiss anything they say and write it all down .
Do your two lists match ? Are there surprises ? How can you leverage your superpowers to help yourself and others ?

Congratulations !

You ’ re on your way to being your own superhero !
