Superhero Wisdom: With these gifts you posess...

"I have possessed these gifts for many years, but for the most part have refrained from using them. No More. Today I set a challenge for myself, a challenge to be of service to humanity. I will do this by being a living example of what's possible. I intend to hold myself to a very high standard. I ask no less of you. I challenge you to challenge yourselves. You are all gifted with special abilities. Strive to live up to your potential, as I will strive to live up to mine." - ICON

CS Challenge:
1) Read those words again...
2) Say those words aloud as if they were your own.
3) Now they are your own.

Be the change.  Represent what is possible.  Love openly.  Practice kindness.  Be iconic.  

Rock on ICON!

Superhero Wisdom of the Week

"I am the voice of your children -- the non-meek who intend to inherit the earth!"  - FIREBRAND

CS CHALLENGE:
Whether we realize it or not, superheroes, all we do, everything we build, each and every time we act in the name of peace, we do it for the sake of future prosperity.  Our children are our purest and most powerful asset.  We must teach our younger generations with intention, listen to them, learn from their lessons, demonstrate for them patience and empathy, show them kindness, and surround them with love.  Through these actions our children will become stronger than we ever could imagine.  Despite your affiliation with children in your own life, you still possess the power to affect them.  A child is always in your midst.  Be aware that you are always sending messages in the way you speak aloud in public, or when you hold the door for someone else, or say thank you, or wait for the right time to cross the street, or help someone who has dropped something or been hurt.  Positive and constructive action in these cases is your most potent superpower.  Use it and do so without restraint.

A child simply is the ripple effect.  We act and they will react.  We model and they will respond accordingly.  The seeds we plant should be destined to be great, bright and true and not a product of negligence, prejudice, hate or apathy.  Be a voice and be an advocate for those that will someday take all they have learned and apply it, as you have, to cultivating a better world.

Kindness without restraint!

"It is time for our people to hear the voice of reason rather than rage." - MARTIAN MANHUNTER

CS CHALLENGE:
It is so easy to react when we feel threatened, angry or in danger.  Be conscious of how you respond to people and situations.  We can be a reasonable people, but if it is peace and reason we require, then we must practice it ourselves, so that we may model behavior for those that lead and represent us in this world.  Anger is strong, but easy...kindness and reason are difficult, but far more powerful.  Be brave...do the things which may seem difficult, and that nearly scare you because of how true and right they really are.

"I believe in an idea, an idea that a single individual who has the right heart and the right mind...can change the world." - CAPTAIN AMERICA

Happy New Year, fellow superheroes!  May this year bring strength, great courage and clear vision to your life.  Be well and good in your intentions.  Serve the greater good, but do not neglect yourself.  Do not falter in helping another in need and remember that both peace and change are ongoing efforts which are always in great need of your support and attention.  Here's to using our powers always for good and never for evil, to being an active part of something greater and to saving the day...everyday.
