What’s Your Favorite Super Power?

What’s the best skill you can acquire?

If you’ve ever seen those movies where somebody gets three wishes, there’s usually a rule that you can’t wish for more wishes.

Even if you only had one wish, and could wish for more wishes, then you could get anything you want.

Lisa Simpson Destroys The World

There’s been plenty of movies (serious, horror and comedy) about somebody who gets three wishes, and then something unexpected happens. Like on the Simpson’s, when Lisa got a wish, and she wished for “World Peace.” Everybody got rid of their weapons, and then aliens invaded, and took over the Earth armed with sling shots.

But in the real world, the only “rules” are what you can imagine.

So, back to the original question, what’s the best skill you can acquire?

Fluency in languages? Epic programming skills? A master chef? Ninja stock market skills?

One Skill To Rule Them All

But what about a skill that is the base of ALL skills?

The ability to LEARN other skills?

After all, if you could learn anything, it would be like being able to wish for more wishes.

You could learn many languages, learn epic programming skills, and learn to trade stocks and commodities like a natural.

But it takes a long time to learn things, right?

It’s hard to learn things, right? It’s frustrating, tiresome, and extremely boring?

It can be. But it doesn’t have to be.

You’ve Already Got What It Takes

Humans are natural learners. We learn new things all the time. But just a fish swimming in water, we don’t notice it because it’s who we are.

Only when it DOESN’T work out, does it stick out in our mind.

That’s one reason why so many of us associate “learning” with “school.” Not because we learned anything, but it was anything other than fun, natural and exciting.

All the other things you’ve learned, and continue to learn, you don’t notice, because learning is who you are.

When you can leverage the natural learner within, to achieve a specific goal, skill, or talent, that’s when life becomes magic.

Think about this: If you could learn anything, what would you want to learn?

If you knew it would be fun, easy and natural, what would that be?

Once you fire up that natural learner with, you’ll soon realize there’s NOTHING you can’t do.
