Noone needs extraordinary.
The "writer's block" thing on Livejournal for today brings up an interesting question: If you could have an extraordinary power, what would it be?
I don't have an answer for that question really. But, it did really make me think about what I wish I was better at.
I wish I was better at connecting to people effectively. You know, to REALLY come to a mutual understanding about important things.
I wish I was better at standing up for people who can't stand up for themselves. And, even if I can't change anything important, maybe just change myself and one other person.
I wish I could brighten someone's day. A friend's day. A stranger's day.
I am going to change myself over the years and hopefully hone those abilities.
People tend to overlook these as simple abilities. I think these are just as awesome as super powers. You don't have to walk through walls or part the seas to be a super hero. I think that all it takes is some compassion and a little courage.
