The Superpower You Never Knew You Had (Kindness Is My Superpower)
Let’s imagine something for a second. You’re in a room full of your coworkers, and someone sparks the question:
“If you could have any superpower, what would it be?”
The answers start flying:
“I’d love to read people’s minds.”
“Teleportation and time-stopping, please!”
“The ability to age backwards while eating anything I want!”
You chuckle, nod in agreement, or maybe throw in your own out-of-this-world idea.
But then, someone says something that silences the room, something surprisingly deep. A voice, almost hesitant, says:
“Honestly, I’d just want kindness to be my superpower.”
And in that moment, it hits you.
Why Kindness Feels So Hard Sometimes
Let’s be real. Kindness isn’t always the easiest choice, especially when the people around us give us every reason to be the opposite. You’ve probably had that momentoverhearing someone talk about you behind your back, watching a coworker laugh at your expense, or feeling the sting of betrayal from someone you trusted.
In those moments, kindness feels like the last thing you want to extend.
You want to vent. You want to clap back. You want them to feel what you feel.
But you don’t.
Why? Because somewhere inside you, a quiet voice reminds you that kindness, true, selfless kindness, isn’t about them. It’s about you. And when you choose kindness, you choose strength.
The Everyday Hero
One colleague shared a story that captured this beautifully. She had every reason to be bitter toward a group of people. But instead of withdrawing, she chose to step up and help plan a surprise party for one of them.
Why?
Because kindness was her superpower.
She didn’t do it for recognition. She didn’t do it because they deserved it. She did it because that’s who she decided to be.
And that’s what makes kindness powerful: it requires courage.
So… What’s Your Superpower Moment?
Think back:
When was the last time you offered compassion when it wasn’t earned?
When did you smile at a stranger, hold a door open, send an encouraging text, or show up when it was inconvenient?
That was your superpower in action. It might not make headlines or trend online, but it might just be the thing that turns someone’s entire day around.
