Hello,
Dear one.
I have a secret for you.
Did you know that you are a superhero?
I'm serious.
I am not even joking right now.
What makes a superhero a superhero?
Is it the cape?
The costume?
Nah,
That stuff's just fun.
Is it the special powers that the superhero has?
Oh,
Yeah,
That's more like it.
And is it the choice that the superhero makes to help create a better world?
Oh,
Yeah,
That's the real stuff.
And guess what?
That is you.
You are a powerful force of good in this world.
Let's start with your superpowers.
Did you know that the power that created all of life also created you?
We have lots of words for that great power.
Some call it creator or god,
Goddess.
Some call it the universe.
Some call it the miracle of life.
Whatever you call it,
Not important.
What's important is that you realize that you were created in love,
By love,
And for love.
And that powerful love,
That love that creates life,
Is inside you.
It's the very stuff that you're made of.
And it gives you the power to create,
Too.
Every day you are creating.
You are creating love for your parents,
Kindness for your friends,
Care for the Earth.
Every day you are learning more about this world and how to create more fun and happiness and laughter for yourself and others.
And do you have any idea how much amazingness you have created just by being you?
Let me tell you,
Kid,
It is incomprehensible.
That means it's too big for your brain to even understand.
Because the love that you have already brought to all of life,
To all who know you,
To your family,
School,
City,
This world,
Just by being you,
It's massive,
Monumental,
Bigger than you could ever realize.
And why?
Because you are good.
You are innately,
Deeply,
Only good.
You are made of goodness.
And every day,
In every way,
Through your goodness,
You make choices to create a better world.
You may choose to help.
You may choose to give.
You may choose to say the kind word or do the kind action.
You may choose to simply listen and understand.
You choose love again and again and again.
Please take a moment now and think of a kind and loving thing that you chose to do today or plan to do today.
I bet you thought of three.
You are one amazing kid.
You are a superhero.
And do you know what the benefit of being a superhero is?
Well,
They're famous,
Of course.
And in your life,
Did you know that you are also famous?
You are surrounded by the love and adoration of so many people,
Your parents,
Your family,
Your teachers,
Your friends,
That person you walked by on the street today who gave you that smile,
Even a legion of angels that watches over you.
You are so loved.
And just like it's impossible to imagine the love that you bring to this world just by being you,
You also can't imagine how much love is there for you in return.
But let's try.
Just for a moment,
I want you to think of all the people who love you and feel their love wrap around your whole body in the biggest hug that you have ever had.
Feel their love like a superhero cape made of love wrapped around you.
Feel their love sink into your body and find its way into your big heart.
And let that love rest there,
Filling you with the sweetest,
Safest feeling in the world.
And you know what?
All that love beating now in your heart,
You deserve it.
You are worthy.
You matter and your feelings matter.
Your happiness matters.
And you deserve all the love,
All the kindness,
All the joy and all the laughter in the world.
Because you are you.
A mighty superhero,
Full of power,
Making the world a better place every day just by being you.
