I've come to realize that my innate ability is to create an atmosphere of peace, comfort, solution, hope, and love in those around me. This talent is not something I've developed over time, but rather an intrinsic part of my nature that has been evident since childhood. Wherever I go, people seem to be drawn to me, and I've often found myself in situations where others have expressed their appreciation and love for who I am, without any ulterior motives or expectations.
As I reflect on this gift, I've come to understand that it's rooted in my ability to empathize with others and provide a sense of ease and comfort in their presence. I've never believed that good things must come with hardship or struggle. Instead, I've always strived to create an environment where everyone can thrive and feel valued.
A recent experience reinforced this realization. While supervising an external exam in Lagos, Nigeria, I was struck by the anxiety and nervousness of the students. With a simple address and a reassuring demeanor, I was able to put them at ease, and they began to write their exam with confidence. After the exam, four students approached me, asking for my name and expressing their gratitude for the peaceful and supportive atmosphere I had created. They shared that they felt seen and heard, and that my presence had made a positive impact on their experience.
This encounter was not an isolated incident but rather a testament to the power of empathy, kindness, and compassion. I've come to understand that my superpower is not just about being loved or appreciated but about creating a ripple effect of positivity that can have a profound impact on those around me.
In a world where competition and self-interest often seem to prevail, I believe that my innate ability to spread love, peace, and comfort is a reminder that there's a different way to live and interact with others. If everyone possessed this quality, the world would indeed be a better place.
My superpower is not about grand gestures or heroic acts but about the simple, everyday actions that can bring people together and foster a sense of community and understanding. It's about being present, listening, and empathizing with others, and creating an atmosphere where everyone can feel valued and loved.
As I continue on this journey, I'm reminded that my superpower is not mine alone but a gift that can be shared with others. By embracing and cultivating this innate ability, I hope to inspire others to do the same, creating a world where peace, love, and progress are the norm, not the exception.
