Not
easy to find the balance, for if one does not have wild dreams of achievement,
there is no spur even to get the dishes washed. One must think like a hero to
behave like a merely decent human being.

If you were a superhero, who
would you be?
Discover your strengths
Consider a recent significant
success: a time when something went well. You made a great art piece, you gave
a good presentation for class, you got your room cleaned before you got in
trouble for the dirty dishes under your bed. Describe this success story in
rich detail, using all five senses.
+What happened?
Superhero You!
Look at the strengths you
identified above. Give yourself a name and a short description.
Here's an example: A few years ago, I was out
for a walk when I saw a man struggling with an empty poop bag. Somehow, the bag
had ripped, and the man was trying to figure out how to make use of it. I
happened to have two poop bags in my pocket, left over from a morning walk with
my dogs. I offered them to him. He looked at me in surprise and said,
"Wow. Thank you. How great to meet the Guardian Angel of Poop
Baggies." I laughed, happy to have helped.
That experience made me realize
how happy I felt when I had a superhero name. And powerful.
So give yourself a superhero name. And next time you are in
a tough situation, remind yourself, I can do it! I’m The Incredible Magic Story
Weaver or Secret Avenger of Doubt.
