Learning from our experiences, give us a higher rate to succeed. As early as kids we were told stories by adults, about their experiences. Their main purpose - for us to learn from it. I remember my Mom yelling at me when I was a kid, telling me to always pay attention. I’m pretty much sure I do not have ADHD. All I can remember is that, I was very much concentrated with the thought of believing that we all have power. A power which if used, can alter a situation. A power, which has to be used wisely. A power which can be used, just once. This is my experience.
As a kid, I grew up in a family that always teaches about faith. Eversince I was a kid, until my College Years, we pray the rosary everyday. My Mom is the eldest in their family, we had to bear with the responsibilities she decided to handle. She had to send my Grandpa to the US, take care of my Grandma, helped my uncle overcome his loss and my other uncle overcome his distress. She went all the way to the end of the Philippines, when my aunt, whom we never heard of for 10 years was in a coma - unfortunately my aunt didn't make it. She even took into her care 3 of my cousins. Indeed, she is a supermom same as with my superdad, who can’t do anything but drag himself each time into my mom’s predicaments. Each time we had to deal with situations like this, I find myself at peace with the thought, should I use my power for this? Would it be worth it?
I soon then realized, being in solitaire with these questions calmed me. I already knew back then that, the 1 shot power thing is not real. But thinking about my 1 shot power, helped me get through the trials I encountered. Because each time I ask myself, whether or not I should use my 1 shot power. I pause and tell myself “I can’t use my 1 shot power for this, my family has been through a lot, we moved on without me using my 1 shot power, it’s not worth it to use it, I know I can deal with this, I know I can do this”.
A year ago my mom was confined for 2 weeks. That was the last time I asked myself again about, whether or not I should use my 1 shot power. I already know it’s not real, but still the thought visits me each time unwanted things happen. Last year, was the first time I wrote about my 1 shot power, this was after I blatantly told a close friend of mine about it, my friend inspired. Last year as well, was the only time I understood how my childhood imagination saved me. After all, my 1 shot power worked in its mysterious ways. Just the same as how God works mysteriously. I’m not sure when will my 1 shot power thought hit me again, I guess all I can say is, I’m ready.
We may not have real powers like what super heroes have. Yet, we all have the ability to look at things in a different perspective. Since, we have this type of ability. We should learn that we can’t change things, we can only do so much. Each day is a blessing to move on, our life is a 1 shot thing, as long as we live we have power.
By the way, my mom’s okay now. She's still under medication.
She really is a supermom and my Dad’s super too.
Thanks for reading.
