How to find your superpower - your unique way of contributing in the world that most never uncover…

For many years I misunderstood myself.
It took me a lot of pain and confusion to finally learn a lesson that applies to all of us.
The thing we hate most in the world is the thing we hate most in ourselves.
Often, our major struggles are tied to how we judge ourselves for what we hate in ourselves.
Like my self-judgement for being 'boring around people.'
I closed up because of my harsh judgement.
But here's what's interesting...
The thing we hate most in ourselves always points to our greatest strength.
Our superpower is the flipside of our greatest weakness.
'Hate' is merely a reflection of the energy you have for something.
For me, I see inauthenticity as my personal enemy.
This also manifests as society instilling in us that you need to play it safe and fit in, and be like everyone else.
I despise this about the modern world.
But that’s good, because it’s energy that can be honed in a fruitful and optimistic direction.
Being attuned to myself and other people is my superpower, which I now use in my work as a coach and writer.
My mission is to help millions become authentic leaders.
When you can find your superpower, you'll know how you can best contribute in the world.
Most people go through their entire lives without going there.
Their sharpest sword left unused.
Their magic left to rot.
They're unfulfilled.
Why?
Because to uncover that power requires you to enter your dark cave.
It requires you to confront your ugliest demon and feel its stinging breath in your eyes.
But when you hold up a torch to it, and call it out for what it is...
You'll know what's worth fighting for.
When you do, your inner dragon will rise up to help you.
Know your enemy.
Know your greatest strength.
Know the cause you're fighting.
Now make it public so others join your movement.
This is how to be unstoppable.
