If you know who Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog is then you’re on the right track to becoming a super-friend. These Saturday morning cartoon characters taught kids some valuable lessons. Use your brain over brute strength. Treat everyone equally, no matter where they are from. Do your best to help out whenever you can.

Brute Strength

“Brain power is superior to brute strength.” - Wendy & Marvin*

The Super Friends, Wonder Woman, Batman and Robin, Superman and Aquaman, along with other guest Justice League members gathered together to right wrongs and protect the innocent. They also take it upon themselves to train young junior detectives, Wendy Harris, Marvin White and Wonder Dog. These sidekicks often help solve problems in the simplest of ways and often get in trouble. But because they are so innocent and young they often see the simplest of answers and outcomes before the “super” adults. This is exactly what the Super Friends teach them to use the mind before the brute strength.

The peacekeepers of the world always speak in terms of using the mind and heart before getting physical. With every burst of strength the body gets exhausted and has to rest. When we take time to think and plan or find a solution before action things work out. If we seek the positive and focus on healing or finding answers there is no room for the negative. Remember we can use simple affirmations to help clear our minds of the negative.
