supernovas and leading edges

Lovely lilies are opening all over the place, yellow ones, deep burgundy ones and of course orange ones - as in the Day Lily above. Lilies are super low maintenance as well as pretty, which is fabulous.
 
I have several books on the go right now and one is by Danielle Laporte called the Fire Starter Sessions. Session 1 has us declaring our super-powers - as in "competency is for suckers". :-)
 
Danielle asks:
 
  • "Would you rather be sufficient or masterful?"
  • "Would you rather be bright or a freaking supernova?
  • "Would you rather be well-rounded or on your own leading edge?"
 
Well gee, I'll go with masterful, hum, a leading edge sounds kind of scary (makes me think of a ledge not an edge and I have a fear of falling) and I would have settled for bright cause that sounds rather perky and shiny but wait...
 
I can choose to be a freaking supernova?
 
Well sign me up for that! That sounds super juicy (and a bit blinding and explosive!)
 
Now what sort of art does a supernova create? :-)
 
How about you, are you well rounded, bright and sufficient or are you the super-power options?

rather be well rounded, sufficient just sounds mediocre, and supernovas can burn out. so i will stick with well rounded :)

Sufficient does sound pretty average and mediocre... :-)
