Yes, I have Nemeses!

“I’m a firm believer that we all have incredible superpowers that are waiting to be awakened.

I’m not talking about the ability to fly, create iron-clad armor, or shoot lasers from your

eyes, but real-life practical abilities like flying through books, iron-clad memory, laser focus,

boundless creativity, clear thinking, mindfulness, superior mental attitude, and more. We are all

superheroes in one way or another.

Just as every superhero has powers, so do they have arch nemeses. Enter the supervillain.

Think the Joker to Batman, Lex Luthor to Superman. The villains we face may not look the

same as they do in the movies, but they’re still the bad guys—the ones you, as a superhero, need to vanquish and hold at bay. Modern-day supervillains get in our way and make life harder, keeping us from our potential. They hold us back and rob us of our productivity, prosperity, positivity, and peace of mind. And it’s up to us to recognize and defeat them.” Jim Kwik

We are all faced with various distraction that keep us from reaching our fullest potential in life. Many of them ae spiritual but others are our on doing. There are 4 key Supervillains that get in the way of our potential and giftings. These have been referred to as the 4 Modern Horseman of our age.

First, we’re DELUGED with an overload of information. Get this: “Compared to the 15th century, we now consume as much data in a single day as an average person from the 1400s would have absorbed in an entire lifetime.”

Second, we’re DISTRACTED by all this digital stimulus. “Instead of relaxing into the downtime that we might experience when waiting in line, waiting for a bus or an appointment, etc., we pull out our phones and train our distraction muscles.”

Third, we’re experiencing DEMENTIA or a “breakdown of cognitive abilities” as a result of our overreliance on technology. “There’s research that says our brains are more like a muscle, rather than a hard drive that fills up. That the more you use it, the stronger it gets, and the more it can store. The question is: Are we making those choices consciously, or are we acting out of unconscious habit?”

Fourth, we’re losing our power of DEDUCTION when we can so quickly turn to digital sources ofinformation to let us know how we should be thinking about something in our lives. “The upshot is that deduction—an amalgam of critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity that is an essential skill for being limitless—is becoming automated.” Jim Kwik
