Prompt # 30

In what way is your biggest flaw also your superpower?

I think my impulsivity can be my biggest flaw but also my superpower. It's no secret that I'm impulsive asf. I get a random idea and most of the time I execute it and worry about it later. I'm sure you can see how this could be a problem. Bad choices, hard things to get over, forgiving the wrong people, trusting the wrong people, etc.

But the best part of my impulsive behavior is that it helps face and confront certain fears. If you act impulsively about anything, you don't give your brain time to process fear or second guesses. You face it head on and do whatever it is you want to do. I often think to myself how I wish this superpower helped me in certain areas of my life.

Like what would happen if I act impulsively and don't forgive that person instead of acting on my impulses and forgiving them for things that can be unforgivable ? What would happen then? What if my impulsive behavior pushes me in the direction of greatness by doing the opposite of what I originally wanted to do?

Makes you think huh? What if we all acted on our impulses but in reverse? Opposite impulses to your normal ones. Maybe I should test my hypothesis and report back. I'll try it for one day or two. Do the opposite of what my brains wants and maybe, just maybe I can rewire this bitch to think differently.

See y'all soon!!!
