The Superhero Is You

It's official. The headlines stink. We've got toxic assets in our banks, our oceans and our food. And our national binge on oil and debt is wreaking havoc on the health of our country.

On top of that, our children are expected to have shorter lifespans then we are; and we are obese, allergic, diabetic and depressed.

So what to do?

If ever there was a time for a superhero, the time is now.

And if ever there was a superhero, it is you.

You see, you were put on this planet in a one-of-a-kind package. You possess unique talents all your own. You came hardwired and pre-programmed like nobody else. And the world needs you. Humanity needs you. We need you.

Because in the midst of the chaos of oil spills and bank deals, there is an enormous opportunity to be part of the solution. None of us can do everything, but all of us can do one thing. And the world needs all hands on deck.

We are innovators, creators, seekers, doers, makers, nurturers and collaborators. And we're all here for a reason.

So in the midst of the headlines, the dire warnings and the news, try to remember what you are good at, what you love to do and how you can leverage every talent that you uniquely possess and do one thing.

Because individually, we probably don't stand a chance. But together, with all of the talents that we collectively possess, we can change the world.

One superhero at a time.
