Do you want to be a superhero?
Taking into account the nature of reality, that's not a feasible option. Something that is a close alternative though is being a game changer.
What exactly is a game changer?
A game changer is a person that enters a given situation and has the potential to turn everything on its head. The game changer effortlessly takes a power position. The entire environment takes on a new look and feel when this person is present. They are on the mind of everyone that encounters them. Their abilities are assumed to be great and respected like no other.
Trust me, this is something you want to be.
There are a few rules to follow in order to become a GC:
Exude confidence
You need to believe that you are a game changer. Your positive mindset, and drive should be evident in the way that you carry yourself. People should look at you and think to themselves, "This person means business."
Know your stuff
You can be as confident as you want, but if there is nothing to back it up then you are out of luck. Work to understand the situations that you will, or may potentially be in. Equip yourself with the knowledge necessary to be a step ahead of everyone else. Cultivate the skills that will allow you to take control of the situation. You need to have the means to make the moves.
Be different and bold
You need to stand out from the crowd. Go against the grain and be unique. Figure out what you can do differently and follow through with it boldly. You can't blend in; your presence needs to be felt.
Take action
When the time is right you must take action. You have the tools to create the outcome you want, so when those critical moments arise you have to perform.
Regardless of what type of work you do, or activities you participate in, you should strive to be a game changer.
It not only gives you the upper hand, it gives you a second deck of cards to play with.
Do it.
