Superpowers

FabrizioLeave a comment

Three superpowers that are underestimated and that will get you through most things in life more easily. Plus, a tip on how to train them.

  1. Patience, that is the superpower to give things and people their time, without imposing your view or trying to bend them. You can train this with meditation.
  2. Listening, that is the ability to sit down in a conversation without thinking at what you will say or do next. You can train this by learning about coaching.
  3. Consistence, that is the ability to show up every day, even when no one is watching you or holding you accountable. You can train this with journaling.

A lot to do

If you count the people who need a kind word, who seek somebody who listens to them, who might do with some sort of encouragement, you’ll get to a number that is very close to the number of people that exist in this world.

There’s a lot to do, and you can start today.

Our little self

We’d like to control others. What they think of us, what they do in the projects we lead, what they care about when it’s time to buy, how they feel when we are together.

We’d like to control others, situations, circumstances, luck, misfortune, talent, success.

We’d like to control all of that and all we can control is our little self.

Better become good at that at least.

Bring you down

When something ends, all you want to hear is that you will be missed.

That it was great, that it’s a pity, that it’s not your fault, that memories are valuable, and that something better probably awaits you in the future.

It’s the feeling that what you did was not enough, combined with the feeling that you still have a lot to do, that will bring you down.

If you’re ending something, keep this in mind.

Colleagues

If you are constantly in a situation where you know and your colleague does not.

Where you have the answers and your colleague does not.

Where your job is better than the job of your colleague.

Where your opinion matters more than the opinion of your colleague.

Where you understand while your colleague doesn’t really get it.

Where you have all the expertise while your colleague really just is a junior.

Where you make decisions while your colleague waits for your decisions to be made.

How can you really expect to build a relationship with them?
