A notion about being Super-Human

E E Cummings once said, "It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are."

But are we really anything at all if there isn’t anyone around us to witness and verify our existence?

More and more people are trying desperately to believe in themselves and be all they can be in this lifetime…to extend beyond the achievements of the generations before them and leave behind a legacy worth talking about.

Humans are enthralled by the idea of possessing god-like abilities.

I’m not sure why this is so, but we all become spellbound by superheroes and mesmerized by characters that can alter time or teleport, see into the future or communicate with the dead.

On one or more occasions during our lives, our minds create scenes of superhero role-playing in which we are super-human in some form or another. Mostly, we hope that we are the only ones on the planet with this ability… it’s an inherent longing to be unique, powerful, wanted and glorified by others.

But if there was no one else in the world to witness your greatness, would you still long for it?
