Without a doubt, this calf was born super. He has all the markings of Spiderman or a WWE wrestler. There is no magic charm or superpower that could change his appearance. Unless he’s found a mirror somewhere in the pasture, he has no idea that his markings manifest the fact that he is bound for greatness.

I think we are all born naturally super. It’s hard to see our exceptionality sometimes when we look in the mirror.

I am as guilty as anyone when it comes to feeling unattractive, imperfect, or goofy-looking. I have yet to meet anyone who looks in the mirror every day and says, “Dang! I am perfect.”

If you do this and are sincere in your proclamation, please share your secret.

Until then, I will probably continue to lament my big ears, mommy belly, and the birthmark on my hip.

This calf’s mama could care less if her son has superhero markings or not. He’s her baby and no one is going to change that or mess with him. That is the kind of love we should use to reinforce our reactions to our mirror reflections.

We need to always keep in mind that what we see as unattractive or flawed is part of our natural whole, an entity that is fiercely accepted, cherished, and appreciated by parents, significant others, children, friends, and colleagues. Who cares if one ear is bigger than the other or your feet are freakishly large? You have a solid foundation and can be a terrific listener.

Today’s Intentery focus is to recognize that you are naturally super. You don’t need mask markings to make you marvelous. You’ve already got your own terrific traits establishing your exceptionality. Your energy this week needs to push for greater positivity in how you view yourself and encourage others to recognize how really super they are without any artificial additions. Remind yourself and those you love that you are all naturally super.

P.S. You really are naturally super. (I thought you could use one more reminder.)

P.P.S. Does this post make my butt look big?

P.P.P.S. Just kidding.
