How to Define Your Super Powers
The Mad Skills Only You Do Best
You are unique, special, and fabulous. No one on the planet is exactly like you. Yet…….do you really know it or believe it? Sadly, everyone doubts themselves at one point or another. Would you believe that even celebrities have self-doubt? Yes, it is true. We lack the perception to see ourselves as others see us so we focus more on our shortcomings than our strengths. Today we are going to talk about how to change that.
Why are superpowers important? When you discover and focus on them, you truly become unstoppable. There is something incredibly powerful hidden inside of each person, thus the term ‘superpowers’.
Your superpowers are what makes you special but also what your purpose in life is. Doing them makes you very happy and that feeling of fulfillment and self-confidence increases the more you do them. The best part is that you serve others when you do them.
So how do you find them? Let’s do some research about YOU.
School
When you were a kid, which subjects were you great at and why? What were your favorite extra-curricular activities and interests?
Home
In your family, how would others have described you? Were you the athlete, the funny one, the smart one, the creative one, or something else?
Work
What are the areas of your job that you prefer most? What are the things your bosses and colleagues say you do best?
Friends
What do your friends say they love about you? Have you heard something similar more than once from different people?
Other

What are your unique academic skills?
Do you have any artistic abilities or talents?

Write everything down that you can remember, and you will discover your superpowers.
Superpowers can may dormant for years and may never develop if not given the opportunity.
Batman doesn’t have any superpowers. He has to use his brain and his courage. That’s what always appealed to me.
Please don’t ignore or discredit your superpowers. Figure out which one you can use for your career. Often, there is one main area and one or two complementary areas. If you are stuck, hire a career coach. You deserve to embrace your uniqueness and develop it to its’ fullest.
Regular people using their superpowers in full force truly become super heros.
