Surely superpowers aren’t real… are they?

Is there a real life super power?
We all love our superheroes. Batman esp the Christopher Nolan series (90's kid sue me!)
Omg that dude and Bane.. fuck.. how awesome was that.. and the joker pff makes me wanna watch it again.
And then there’s superman.. liked the movie a lil less.. but that dude’s crazy strong, he can fly, shoot beams out of his eyes and his body looks sick..
Then there’s iron man.. I mean.. a flying suit and Jarvis.. yeah.. I rest my case.
This made me think.. is there a super power in real life?
Yes. Mental Toughness.
Mental toughness is as far as I know the only super power.
But it’s INCREDIBLY powerful. Which still isn’t a strong enough word to describe it.
If you become great or even good at mental toughness your entire future will change. You’ll be able to turn your fantasies, your dreams into reality.
It’s almost magic. It’s absolutely ridiculously powerful and I WISH they would teach this to all humans in school.
So what’s MT? Basically all it is, is the ability to do shit you don’t want to do.
Or the ability FOR YOU TO BE IN CHARGE vs your alter ego.
(Which ever definition makes t easiest to remember for you.)
Life is made up of stuff you don’t like.
Even if you go out of your way to ONLY do stuff you love, there will still be a huge amount of stuff you hate that you have to do.
Say your passion is making money w photography. That would be the dream.
Okay now you gotta get a customer before you do anything.
That sucks right. Especially if all u wanna do is create your art.
So we postpone and procrastinate.
But because we’re cowards we let our alter ego come up w a reasonable sounding justification like: “we should just get better at shooting/ low light/ editing / composition etc.” or. “we should read a book on how to get clients/ watch a thousand lectures on YouTube etc.”
All ways to procrastinate without it feeling like your procrastinating.
If we finally manage to confront our fears and realize we’re being pussies, we gotta do the shit that sucks. Aka get a client.
Now you got a client. Now you gotta deal w that client. You gotta get more clients. Eventually you gotta build a site, register ur biz, do some marketing and on and on.
All things you don’t wanna do just to do the 1 thing you wanted to do.
If you want to do great things or even things you enjoy, there will be much more times of suffering than times of joy.
So if you become good at doing the things you don’t want to do, you’ll be in charge vs your alter ego.
It’s a spectrum it’s not binary. It’s a matter of how much are you in charge.
For most untrained people I think it’s like 5% them 95% alter ego.
They’re virtually unable to do anything they want. They can’t fight their alter ego. He always wins. The only time they win is when they have to.
For example, they don’t wanna work but they gotta pay the bills. There’s absolutely no choice. So when the alter ego says stay at home you’re tired they say: I don’t wanna lose my job so I’ll go.
But if it’s not absolutely essential like weight loss, they’ll lose. The alter ego says why not take it easier, you’ve been doing well. They say: sounds good. And gone is the diet and the consistent training. (Or worse, they let themselves be talked out of it before they begun.)
But if you consistently train to become better at doing stuff you don’t wanna do you’ll start to move up in that spectrum.
Imagine if you could flip it.
95% YOU 5% alter ego.
Now you are virtually always in charge.
If you decide hey I’m gonna learn the fundamentals of mathematics. Your alter ego has no chance to stop you.
You just buy a book, work through it an hour a day. And a year later you’ve crushed it.
It’s just as predictable and natural as a tree growing.
Or you decide I’m gonna become ripped. And you start going to the gym daily w sa and sun off and you eat the way you usually eat but just threw the junk out.
And a year later you look AMAZING. Again, your alter ego didn’t even stood a chance against you. You’re just way to strong it’s not even comparable.
Or you decide I’m gonna start a biz in X. Immediately you go out and try to pre sell. BOOM 5 orders. You make them. Get referrals work ur ass off and it grows. You keep scaling it and a yr later it’s huge.
Other people are astonished. To them it looks like you have super powers. (Which you have).
But to you it seems really normal.
You just decided I want X.
And then you started doing X daily.
Super straightforward. Just not simple. Not simple because the alter ego keeps trying to sabotage you.
So how can you start working on improving in the spectrum and get the super power that will enable you to turn your WILDEST most ridiculous dreams into reality?
You start small.
You blow your back out if your first deadlift attempt is 500lbs.
Same w this.
My advice. Start waking up 1 hour earlier than you do now.
Decide you’re gonna do that and FIGHT your alter ego. MURDER him. RAPE him. Destroy his fucking lineage.
I mean it. I know some of you delicate flowers reading this will be put off by this.
I accept that. I also don’t give a fuck. I’d rather convert 1 person and put off a thousand then not be disliked by anyone but also don’t change anyone’s life.
For me personally, it’s more important to be honest and tell the truth and accept the consequences that come w that (being seen as a dumbass, ignorant, arrogant, asshole etc.) instead of sugar coating it.
If you wanna become an animal. If you wanna have the super power you gotta use that darkness and start HATING your alter ego. He’s crushing your dreams. He’s holding you back.
His SOLE goal is to make you wanna kill your self when you’re old and on your death bed cuz you’re filled w regrets of the stuff you didn’t do.
Dude…… HOW TF can you not hate him? He wants to fucking ruin you!!
And worst of all, he ain’t even honest ab it. He’s sneaky and tries to wrap his lies in justifications so he’ll trick you into giving up. It sounds so reasonable but it’s a lie.
Don’t buy into it.
So start small and start the fight.
Wake up an hour earlier.
Then start waking up at 05:00 for a week.
Then 04:00.
Then join me at 02:55. (See my Instagram).
It’s not ab waking up early. It’s ab becoming better at consistently beating your alter ego.
Every day is a new battle and you win or lose. If he says hey last night you went to bed late, sleep in. And you do.. you lost.
You should have said fuck u, I’m waking up and I’ll take a nap in the afternoon or I’ll go to bed earlier tonight. Instead of YOU being in charge and making a choice because it was YOUR decision, you let your alter ego play you and you gave into the instant gratification.
Look at Elon Musk. He’s going to fucking mars?! He’s building electric cars for the entire planet.
Don’t you think his alter ego was fighting him every step of the way? And other people too?!
But if your stronger then your alter ego you’re stronger than anyone else because your alter ego is w you 24/7. Other people are not.
So he just said fuck it we’re gonna do X today and I’m gonna move 1 step closer to getting to mars.
Don’t think for a second every day was rainbows for him and that he loved it every day. He probably hated most days. But he became so extremely good at doing stuff he hates that he’s able to turn a ridiculous fantasy into a reality.
That’s the secret. The book “the secret” is horse shit.
THIS! Is the secret. Becoming so good that your alter ego can’t touch you.
If you manage that, you’ll truly become unstoppable and you’re only limited by your imagination.
Good luck my friends.
GET AFTER IT.
ROGER THAT.
