There's a multi billion dollar industry based around the acquisition of qualities such as empowerment, self confidence, financial insight, positivity, self belief, charisma and a myriad other character traits which people think will make them a more successful version of themselves and attain the riches and rewards of modern 21st century life.
Positive affirmations, subliminal recordings, self help books, therapists .. it's all there. All the help you could ever hope for. You could spend a lifetime accumulating the qualities of the ultimate you.
BUT .... In my opinion, If you only had the choice to go after one quality which would make you the equal of any modern day super hero, learn your lesson from a rubber ball.
LEARN TO BOUNCE BACK ...HARD! (aka Resilience).
Accept that you're going to be knocked down from time to time. No one's immune from the bullshit life throws back at you, even the richest, most successful of among us have to weather storms in their personal life.
Accept that not everything is going to go your way. As much as we like to think the universe might revolve around us, to an extent, we're just grains of sand at the mercy of the winds of fate.
Accept that no matter where life takes you and what it does to grind you down, there's something deep inside your DNA gleaned from millions of years of evolution passed down from a lineage of the best and brightest of our species, that when recognised and acknowledged, burns WHITE HOT in its refusal to give in to circumstance.
THIS is the survival instinct that has spurred on our species to explore and embrace this planet and beyond.
I firmly believe we are all recipients of this. Some of us have forgotten we have it but it's there.
Meet life head on. UNLEASH YOUR SUPERHUMAN.
