Default Recovering YOUR natural SuperPowers...

We were born with natural SuperPowers...but these get quickly indoctrinated out of us. The big 3 are:

IMAGINATION, from where all things (man made or manipulated) come from.

INSTINCT. It has kept mankind alive in all corners of the globe, and is a forgotten natural superpower.

INTUITION. Our gut is right, a good deal of the time, but we learn to overcome our gut feeling about something.

Harry Chapin sang a song, FLOWERS ARE RED, which is a good representation of how our imaginations are INDOCTRINATED out of us, early in school.

Schools are about teaching compliance, obedience, and indoctrinating young minds in OUR ways of the world. Here in USA, we pledge allegiance to a flag from day one in school. We are taught patriotic songs, and given a whitewashed history of our founding fathers.

By the time of middle school, the big 3 superpowers have been scrubbed down to almost nothing...maybe some artists, musicians, and outside the lines thinkers survive...but vast majority are already 'fixed'.

Add in any and all religious indoctrinations along the way, and we can clearly see the WHY of hated, bigotry and even war.

But here is the GOOD news...you can recover and USE your natural superpowers to reshape your life and fulfill your potential.

In order to make use of them, we first face our thinking and question where it came from. Then, we can tap into our superpowers to facilitate a change, a new direction, even a new life if that is what is wanted.

Old NEW Thought ideas, like the ones put forward by Napoleon Hill, were all about having a vision, an idea, a thought of what was wanted. It begins in the Imagination of the possible.

And it is clear to see that most people CAN'T see themselves in their future "perfect" location, life and career, most have a nebulous idea of what they want.

To get all 3 working together, is the powerful secret which expedites success in almost any and every field.

Are you using your Natural SuperPowers? How so?

Gordon

Lightbulb Thanks for inspiring this question...

Hi there, Gordon

Thanks for sharing your insights

Reading your post triggered a question:

What if the superpower popularly known as "talent" is actually a combination of the Big 3 superpowers - particularly Imagination (SEEING what could be) and Intuition (KNOWING what we can do to create specific changes)?

What do you think?

Maybe some. However, as a kid, I could NOT sing, OR do any sort of art. It just wasn't there, even though I might have had the imagination for both, the TALENT was absent...even though my 3 siblings all had some art ability.

And there are physical gifts (talents) too, as my older brother was a natural, and gifted athlete who didn't do sports, I was into sports and couldn't ever get to his talent level.

So, I guess, maybe, in some areas of business where someone uses their Imagination, and couples it with Intuition/Instinct, maybe talent is another superpower SOME are born with.

Everyone has IMAGINATION, but it often runs on a separate life track, and is powerful when coupled with other gifts, powers and even talents when all are pulling your train in the same direction TOGETHER.

Thanks for asking, and of course, it is just my opinion. As someone with very little TALENT, I see it as a different thing.

Gordon

HUMILITY

Just like you showed in this post

You? Little talent? You gotta be kidding!

In my few decades on earth, I've never met ANYONE who knows as much about business development and practical planning as Gordon Jay Alexander.

And yet he chooses to fly low without all the bells and whistles (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc)

In today's world of five-second-fame and fake news, I think we all need this superpower of humility

Thank you for inspiring me

Default Confidence... and humility...

Hi Unpink,

I think humility is important.. and so is confidence, if you want to be in business!

Confidence is important... If you don't have enough confidence, you could be likely to not try anything at all!

But... If you don't have enough humility, you're unlikely to learn from your mistakes! (Because you'll think you won't make any mistakes!)

There are some people who blame others for all the difficulties they have... These people often don't have enough humility. They cannot believe that any problems could be their own fault, or due to their own mistakes! So they blame others! That's a recipe for not learning and progressing... and for failure!

Best wishes,

Dien
