What’s Your Real Freelancing Super Power?

We all know that Bruce Wayne decided to dedicate his life to fighting crime after he witnessed his parents murder at the hands of a mugger. But did you know it took a while for him to get it right?

Here’s what Batman: Year One says: Bruce Wayne initially thought his peak-human physical abilities, developed by years of training, were enough to get the job done. Yet he found out the hard way that that wasn’t true.

In fact, the first time Bruce Wayne went out on the streets, he was nearly killed. No one, including the corrupt policeman who shot him, was intimidated.

So, after barely escaping with his life, Bruce decided to take another approach. He realized that to be effective, he had to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. And of course, a bat happens to fly in and land on a sculpture of Wayne senior. The rest, as they say, is history.

Bruce Wayne fulfilled his vow because he realized what his true super power was: his mastery of the mental game. Batman was literally among the best at martial arts, acrobatics, and other physical activities. Ultimately though, it was his tremendous intellect, and his surgical application of force, that would always win day. So, while Bruce Wayne maintained the billionaire playboy persona by day, he found success as a crime-fighting freelancer by night.

Sometimes, we’re so apparently capable that we end up ignoring what we’re really good at. The perfect example is a masterful freelancer designer who never discovers his supernatural talent for words. All because he stayed on focused on design and never took the time to think what he was truly capable of.

In short, what’s your real freelancing super power?
