For me my superpowers when I was a boy were:
- Sports
- Athletics
- Movement
- Writing
- Talking
- Spelling
- Reading
- Speed, quickness, agility
- Getting answers from people wiser and smarter than me
Ironically, I use ALL my unique superpowers in my daily life and business as an adult.
Bill gates said, “The thing you do obsessively between age 13 and 18, that’s the thing you have the most chance of being world-class at.”
Going all in on my superpowers, gifts and strenghts has yielded me outsized returns and continues to do so.
Granted, I have dabbled and experimented with venturing outside my zone of genius but they often led to dead ends, banging my head against the wall and marginal success.
When I return back to my superpowers it’s like the lights turn on, everything is aligned, I have a feeling of effortlessness, momentum, fulfillment and progress.
At 37, I will continue to lean into my superpowers and achieve my wildest dreams.
