Forget trying to find your purpose; instead, try discovering your superpower!
I’ve tried finding my purpose numerous times, using various methods, but in the end, it feels like a waste of time and energy.
Purpose is an abstract concept; it’s ideal when viewed from a high-level perspective, for a company etc. However, purpose doesn’t translate well in a practical sense. Instead, finding your superpower can be more powerful and easier.
Why?!
Probably, your superpower is already within your grasp!
This approach is crucial because it directly connects with your lifestyle and how you can bring more light into the world.
Daily needs and challenges distract our focus and energy. Everyone needs to make money, pay bills, etc. But remember, those who don’t emit light, create their darkness.
The only way to make money is by providing value to others. A person will only pay you if you solve their problem. Here’s the best part: money is an abundant resource.
Why? Let me ask you, are problems in the world limited or unlimited? If you identify your skills and learn to offer them effectively, you can make money by helping people solve their problems, bringing more light into the world.
The definition of superpower is to remember that we can do great things and create a huge impact with our skills and efforts.
How do you find your superpower?
There are two ways. First, if you’re careerless or wish to change fields, start with a specific Problem. Note down ways to solve this problem or how others are solving it. This will help you identify the skills you need to learn.
Second, map out your talents, skills, abilities, and even weaknesses. Then, correlate these abilities with real-world problems people are willing to pay to solve.
How can this bring more light into the world?
Take a barber, for example. You can earn a living by cutting hair, helping people feel better and more confident.
But there’s more: open a barbershop and employ others, expanding your impact. Teach others, helping them develop a profession and support their families. Assist those who need a fresh haircut for job interviews and cant pay for it. The possibilities are endless!
