Your RESPONSE your SUPERPOWER

Daily writing prompt
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?
View all responses

The response to any specific situation varies from person to person. In this blog post I will let you know how your response to any situation is your superpower.

Whatever happens to us or around us, may not be in our control. But our response to such events is entirely in our control.

The ones who are successful in life, more often than not are able to make great use of this super power.

By using our brain’s veto power to choose the right response when faced with a situation, we can overcome all hurdles and make failures the pillars of success.

Read this blog post from Viktor Frankl’s post to realize this truth.

Make Fun the Reason for Fulfillment

Why should you make Fun the reason for Fulfillment?

Very often we mistake FUN for pleasure seeking. In his book Nir Eyal mentions that even for drudgery we can make fun the reason for fulfillment.

Finding fun in any common place work by making the work more challenging than it seems is not easy.

We need to use our imaginary powers to realize that if for daily routine work we can instill fun to make it worth doing.
