Turn a Traumatic Event into a Super Power

The Classic Hero Storyline.

In the classic storyline, heroes are created during traumatic events. My life matches this storyline, but your personal hero creation may take a different route.

Super Heroes such as Superman, the Flash, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and Captain America were all endowed with Super Powers when something traumatic happened to them.

Superman was ripped from his home planet of Krypton and sent to earth in a spaceship.
The Flash was struck by lightning in his laboratory and got dowsed with chemicals.
Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider.
The Fantastic Four were in outer space when they were bombarded by cosmic radiation.
Captain America was injected with a super serum.

The Fantastic Frank storyline

My traumatic event was being trapped in a fire and carried out in a body bag over 30 years ago. As a result, I got a traumatic brain injury, which I overcome every day. There were times that having a traumatic brain injury felt like a “problem” – even a curse.

In “AH HA Moment”, I realized that, the life-changing trauma, of getting a TBI and losing the “life” I had known, gave me the “power” to deeply touch and inspire others as a motivational speaker. My “curse” has become my “blessing.”

Although not as flashy as the heroes of my youth, with this “power” of inspiring others, I have been granted my childhood wish of growing up and becoming a super hero.

Your Personal Hero Storyline

The fact that you are here right now, reading this message, means that your mission or your purpose on Earth has not yet been fulfilled, because you are still here.Whatever your story is, whatever challenges you have to overcome, there is something unique to you; something wonderful and powerful. I know this because this is true of everyone. It just needs to be recognized and tapped into.

Celebrate life by acknowledging the super and heroic things you have been empowered to do. Give thanks for your “powers”, and use them for good. Share your Super Hero story with someone; your spouse, kids, friends… If you say you have no one, share it with me!
