Ten Superpowers by Rick Henry Christopher

I am giving this a try. Of course my entry will not be judged nor will I be in the running for any of the prizes. But I figure if I’m putting the challenge out there I might as well attempt the challenge myself.

So here goes!

✵Rick Henry Christopher’s Ten Superpowers✵

🦸🏻‍♂️🦸🏻‍♂️🦸🏻‍♂️🦸🏻‍♂️🦸🏻‍♂️

Superpower #1 / The Power of Budgeting

I am exceptional with finances and budgeting. I’m one of those people who can take $100 and make it spend like $150, and even sometimes like $200. I never forgo quality in the things I buy, but I always look for the deal and the best price. Quality costs more but in the long run it saves money. I also buy large quantities as the price is lower per ounce, square inch, pound, etc. I also make use of coupons..

Superpower #2 / The Power of Accomplishment

Multitasking is my specialty. I’m one of those people that can take on several tasks and accomplish every single one of them. I am expert at focusing. I don’t only multitask but I pay close attention to detail and complete each task fulfilling the specifications required to properly do the job.

Superpower #3 / The Power of Imperfection

I do not have to be perfect all the time nor do I have to have all the answers. It is okay if I mess up. I don’t have to be everything to everyone. I don’t need to be perfect in every situation and I don’t expect myself to be so. I can get mad and I can say or write dumb things - even if it’s something done publicly - it is okay for me to mess up because ultimately I can forgive myself and love myself.

Superpower #4 / The Power of Happycore

I am happy to the core. No matter what happens at the end of the day my happiness is still there.

Superpower #5 / The Power of Love

I know and understand unconditional love. In eight words: Unconditional love is not easy but it’s beautiful.

Superpower #6 / The Power of Honoring Your Elders

I appreciate that I have been given the opportunity to take care of my mom and that I have accepted that opportunity and I will see it through to the end.

Superpower #7 / The Power of Prayer

I am able to pray effectively. But, I appreciate that I understand that prayer is a multifaceted action with which we are given the opportunity to communicate and gain focus. It helps to soothe the soul and refresh the mind. But also furnish the knowledge we need to move forward with deeds and actions.

Superpower #8 / The Power of Taking It Easy

Success in life includes balance.I know that I can sit back and take it easy. I don’t always have to be alert and ready. I can be aloof and lazy and watch mindless sitcoms like The Munsters and Gilligan’s Island if I should choose to. Relaxing is a major factor in maintaining both your mental and physical health.

Superpower #9 / The Power of Knowing Yourself

I appreciate that I know who I am and why I’m here on earth. I appreciate that I am a worthwhile person with purpose and value.

Superpower #10 / The Power of People

I see myself as a resident of the world first and a citizen of the United States second. I pledge my allegiance to people, not to a flag. I pledge to love thy neighbor and thy enemy. I pledge to love immigrants, especially those seeking asylum, sanctuary or refuge from a violent and dangerous country or community.

Leviticus 19:33-34:

"When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God."

+++++

Thank you, friends. This was an interesting exercise. I kind of felt that at times I was being preachy. Other times I felt like I was being boastful. Then, I felt like maybe I was giving too much information TMI. I almost wasn’t going to publish this, but then the inner me said, “Ah, just do it.”
