My superpower is I can see the future.
It’s made me a millionaire multiple times through entrepreneurship (I bootstrapped a game business when Facebook opened up the API back in ~2007/2008), and then later through investing in Bitcoin early.
My superpower also helped me raise 9 figures for nearly 100 businesses over the traders and saved my friends from losing tens of millions of dollars (maybe hundreds?).
I JUST realized today that I haven’t been in control of my powers for my whole life.
Seeing the future can also be a bane.
I was trying to CHANGE the negative future outcomes that I saw coming - but my superpower is SEEING the future not CHANGING the future.
I was constantly trying to correct behaviors & thought patterns, thinking that I could change things to avoid negative future outcomes.
While I have definitely come in at the right time for people in my life and have 100% changed their future, this takes a major toll on me.
Something simple like my daughter going over her screen time by an hour could put me into an anxiety state where I am envisioning the negative consequences of her continued overuse of screens years in the future … causing me to try to prevent a negative future from happening in the present, which usually leads to arguments because normal people don’t think like this.
Worrying is my cryptonite.
I am now going to focus on finding the tools to help me deal with changing the future in a way that doesn’t send me into worry and anxiety over negative future outcomes that don’t exist yet.
Does anyone else have this super power, and have you discovered a way to interface with normies in a way that allows you to have an impact on the future without harming the present?
