Superpowers in everyday life: how to master self-control!

Experience superpowers in everyday life

Spring had just awoken in the Neflental valley. The meadows glowed in May green. Ivory-coloured hawthorn blossomed by the wayside. Fluffy clouds drifted by in the sky and danced in the wind. Rosa Periwinkle woke up early that day. She had had a dream. In her dream, the singing cliffs had played a riddle melody and sent a secret message to Neflental. Rosa wanted to know what it was all about.

On the Nachtigallenstieg

She decided to take the nightingale path. This path meandered gently through flowering hawthorn bushes. A nightingale fluttered above her, its song shimmering like gold in the morning air. Rosa listened, smiled and felt the spring sun on her face. But she knew the road to her destination would be long. She had to be patient and not allow herself to be distracted, because she wanted to get to the singing cliffs in time.

The challenge: distractions and temptations

She encountered many temptations on the Nachtigallenstieg. Bright berries along the way kept tempting her. Colourful butterflies flew over the fern meadows. Her friends called her to play. But Rosa remembered her dream. She felt that the melody of the singing cliffs was important to her today. Superpowers in everyday life: Rosa resisted any desire to stop. She focussed on her path. Every step became a small piece of self-control.

At the destination: The singing cliffs

At last she reached the high, jagged rock faces. The wind whistled through the thousand fine cracks. It sounded as if invisible flutes were playing a wondrous melody. Rosa sat down on a golden-coloured stone and closed her eyes. She listened to the stories of the cliffs being told by the wind. With every note she learnt something: patience brings answers. Those who stay focussed discover new abilities within themselves.

Superpowers in everyday life: self-control like pink periwinkle

Rosa thought about it. Today she had felt a real superpower. She had not allowed herself to be distracted. She had stayed strong because she wanted to keep her goal in sight. She knew that now: Anyone can have this superpower in everyday life if they practise focusing and resisting temptation. With this power, you can even hear the stories of the wind on the singing cliffs.

Rosa returned in the evening. The shadows grew longer. When she arrived home at the Nachtigallenstieg, the colours of the day slowly slipped into soft sky blue. The nightingales sang their song. Rosa felt proud because she had learnt something important today. Self-control is like a special superpower. It helps to make dreams come true and to find new paths.
