We Need Your Superpowers!
Have you ever been possessed by an idea that you just can’t let go? Maybe, something has been nagging at you for a long time. Maybe there has been a problem, or a level of dissatisfaction in your life for months. Maybe you have just been plain old bored, feeling that your life lacks in any form of inspiration whatsoever. Then suddenly, BAM! You have an idea that will solve all that. Not only is it a solution, but it is THE BEST IDEA EVER. Why has no one ever thought of this? It is PERFECT!
Then, in your excitement, you share your idea immediately with someone, or maybe you even post it for the whole world to see. You get the feedback: That’s crazy! That will never work! That’s ridiculous! That’s the stupidest idea I have ever heard of!
You start to doubt yourself. Maybe that’s why no one has tried this. Maybe it is a dumb idea. Maybe you’re not so clever after all. Maybe you are stupid.
But then the turbo engine in your brain revs up and says, “NO! This is a fantastic idea and I must pursue it!” So you drop everything and go into hyper focus mode. You run head first into the creation phase and you find your flow and time melts away as you work the puzzle and develop the solution to this challenge. No one can stop you now.
This is how the ADHD brain works at its best. I prefer the term “Turbo thinker” because the brain is on fire with innovation, connecting the dots, seeing the possibilities and creating something new, something exciting, something FINALLY INTERESTING!
This is the super power of Turbo thinkers. Thanks to Turbo thinkers, we have inventions. We have art. We have scientific discoveries. We have music. We have comedy and we have fun. We have people who are not even aware of their courage because they are blind to risk or possible ridicule. We have people who defy conventional thinking. They refuse to be confined by the traditional rules. They find a way to make things work. Turbo thinkers forge ahead, determined to find the perfect solution and eager to transform the ideas in their brains into reality. Can you imagine where mankind would be right now if it weren’t for Turbo thinkers? For starters, we’d probably be very cold, huddled for warmth and eating raw food.
2020 has been a year in which we have been reminded of our mortality. How can we wait with complacency and boredom when so much begs to be solved and created? What are you waiting for? If you are a Turbo thinker, this is your time to shine. How can you make the world a better place for yourself? For your loved ones? For humanity? For the universe? Don’t hold back. We need your superpowers now more than ever. Let’s make the world a better place starting now.
