What’s makes a good super power?
Great hair?
Witty comeback?
Ability to zap the villian with shooty lasers from your eyes?
As it’s school holidays, we’ve been binge watching movies like Shazam, MCU’s Black Panther, Thor and Avengers, so we were talking about this.
For me, it took awhile to figure it out, but it’s actually
Self Awareness + Self Management
It kinda makes you bulletproof.
The words and the actions that hurt us, that belittle us, that cut us down… they suddenly lose their potency and power.
Consulting can be a tough environment.
Expectations are high.
You cannot really survive if you don’t keep pushing yourself to be better, and to deliver.
Bonuses and promotions are tied to performance reviews, and I know that this can be an extremely politically and emotionally charged process.
Through continuous learning, I sought to grow and learn all the time.
In the absence of a true super power such as telekinesis or psychic blasts, or an Ironman nanosuit, I needed to ground it in reality.
I only have power over myself, and if I can command my emotions and my thoughts to do what I ask, then I grow stronger every day.
Don’t let anyone tell you what you can/can’t do.
Whatever rocks your boat
– to shave or not
– to facelift or not
– to stuff your face with 🍩 or not
If you know who you are, and what you stand for – your values and decisions are not up for judgement.
You do you.
However, I do wish I had a superpower where I can eat whatever I like and sugar calories turn into villain-busting muscles. 😁
