To Inspire People, Don't Show Them Your Superpowers, Show Them Theirs.

Updated: Apr 11, 2023

What you see in yourself will be what you see in the world.

It got me thinking, is this the key to true inspiration?



I can't help but think about the power of inspiration. We all have the ability to inspire others, but how do we do it? Is it by showing off our superpowers and accomplishments? Or is it by helping others discover their own strengths and abilities? I've always believed that what you see in yourself is what you see in the world. If you see yourself as powerful and capable, you'll see the world as a place full of opportunities. But if you see yourself as weak and helpless, you'll see the world as a daunting and scary place.

As human beings, we all have the potential to accomplish great things. However, it can be challenging to tap into that potential when we are constantly bombarded with negative messages about our abilities and worth. This is where inspiration comes in. Inspiration has the power to help us see our potential and to believe that we can achieve great things. However, inspiring others is not always easy. It requires a deep understanding of human nature and a willingness to put aside our own egos and desires for the benefit of others.

To inspire people, it is not enough to simply show them our own superpowers. While it may be tempting to showcase our own achievements and abilities, this approach can actually have the opposite effect. It can make others feel inferior or unworthy, leading them to believe that they can never measure up. Instead, to inspire people, we need to focus on helping them discover their own superpowers.

What does this mean? It means recognizing that every person has unique talents, abilities, and strengths. It means helping others to see the potential within themselves and to believe that they are capable of great things. It means empowering others to take risks, to try new things, and to overcome their fears.

One of the most powerful ways to inspire others is to be a role model. This means living our lives in a way that demonstrates the values and qualities we want to inspire in others. It means being honest, compassionate, and courageous. It means taking risks and stepping outside of our comfort zones. When others see us living our lives in this way, they will be inspired to do the same.

Another way to inspire others is to listen to them. Too often, we are quick to offer advice or to try to fix other people's problems. However, sometimes all people need is someone to listen to them and to validate their feelings. By taking the time to really hear what someone is saying, we can help them to feel seen, heard, and valued.

Ultimately, if we see ourselves as capable, competent, and deserving of success, we will be more likely to inspire others to see themselves in the same way.

So, let's all strive to see the best in ourselves and others, and inspire greatness in everyone we meet.
