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.

Chatting and doing

FabrizioLeave a comment

A chat can change it all.

It can change the frame, it can shift the narrative, it can move you forward. Instead of getting stuck in your head, seek a chat with a friend, a partner, a family member, a therapist, a coach, a colleague, a decent human being. Talking things through, even just talking about things, is powerful.

Of course, a chat cannot make things go away. So, seek a chat often, particularly in darker periods. And understand the importance of alternating the chatting with the doing.

It’s a fine art.

You’ve got this

You.

Because you are in charge. Not your boss. Not your partner. Not your friends, colleagues, or any general circumstance. You are driving this car and you call the shots.

Have got.

Because it’s in you. Whatever it is you need, you have it. You might not have found it yet, in fact you might be searching for it right now. In articles, podcasts, gurus, and self-help books. But it’s not there, it’s in you.

This.

Because it’s up to you to choose what “this” means. Perhaps it’s money, success, fame. Happiness, tranquillity, relaxation. Family, balance, spirituality. You define it and you make it meaningful.

You’ve got this.

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.

Take the first step

If you want to meet somebody, take the first step.

If you would benefit from being more networked, take the first step.

If you think you should develop some skills, take the first step.

If you seek a reference for the next job application, take the first step.

If you’ve met an interesting person you want to stay in touch with, take the first step.

If you need a change in your life, take the first step.

If you crave a chat with a friend, take the first step.

Things will not just happen because you go through your day, and the first step is always the most difficult to take. Nobody else will take it for you.
