You Have a Superpower—Use It!
Bring both your Primitive Brain and your Evolved Brain to the party by meeting fire with fire by wielding your superpower. You might not know what it is right now but I promise you, you have a gift that is powerful and unique to you. You probably can’t help but use it. It might even seem like a burden to you sometimes. But harnessed properly you can take that big dream that came out of your Evolved Brain and identify your most natural ways to approach your starting line that will not only keep your Primitive Brain from getting fired up but will actually soothe it.You know it’s your gift if it:
Comes naturally to you,
Feels great to do, and
Doesn’t harm other people
Your gift is as hardwired into you as–you guessed it–your primitive survival instinct. And lucky for you, your gift is kryptonite to your fear-mongering inner voices. It is your gift that’s going to make your lizard brain a team player. Remember, it may be disguised as a quirk, or worse, as a personal ‘flaw’. It’s not! Once you identify your superpower and learn how to wield it, you will have found the secret to your success.Here are some questions to help you uncover your Gift:
How did you drive your parents/friends/teachers crazy when you were a kid (or now)?
What traits of your zodiac sign resonate with you?
If someone were to say, ‘That is the most [insert your name here] thing I’ve ever seen’ what might they be referring to?
What are some of your quirks?
What is something that you get/got playfully teased about?
Write down the answers to these questions and give them some serious thought. The pattern that emerges among the answers will guide you to your superpower. When you know exactly how you tick, you will know what kinds of actions are going to be the most natural for you to take, steer clear of self-sabotage, and finally get started on that big hairy audacious goal your way.
