Creative Superpowers
Use your special abilities now!
Your life experiences matter. As a writer, you have the ability to tap into all of your life experiences and memories. You can use them to tell an unlimited number of stories.
You have creative superpowers that others can never have or possess. How is that? It’s because most people on this planet are not having the same experiences that you are having at any given moment.
You, the writer, have an advantage over others who create content. You see and experience things differently and that’s a fact.
How can you use your superpower for success on Medium?
One word: honesty.
All you have to do is be truthful in your writing and let your experiences shine through in your stories.
Admittedly, it can be painful. Recently my father passed away and I am angry about it. Seriously, I am very upset about how it happened and I want to blame others. It’s easy to do that and to point the finger at this moment that could have ended differently or that decision that might have given him a few more days.
My perspective could be qualitatively different than others who were in the orbit of my father’s 87th year of life. Granted, I didn’t see the suffering and pain that was evident and obvious. All I know is that, if I’m honest with myself, I could have tried to do something to give him more time. It’s my mistake for not being assertive, but then maybe he was ready to go on his own terms.
What are your experiences? Maybe you see the world differently than others and your stories should be written and published.
For some people, life is a competition and there are winners and losers.
For others, it’s all about building strong connections and lifelong friendships and what matters most is keeping relationships strong and powerful.
And there are those who are passionate about everything and who have a million stories waiting to be experienced and shared.
Your superpower is yourself and the life that you live. Never forget this.
Every day is a new chance for you to share your personal stories with the world. Give yourself some encouragement and write something wonderful tomorrow
