You have a superpower. Things that come easily to you are impossibly hard for others. And vice versa, of course.
Your superpower may still be nascent, but it often doesn’t take much to let it blossom. The key is to pay attention to what excites you. Let me put it another way: What are you obsessed about? Once you’ve identified your obsessions, see if you can find other ways where the same skills can be applied. Perhaps something with greater rewards.
Even a seemingly silly obsession, like video games, is hiding a superpower with potential. Playing a strategy game — where you plan for the future, manage resources, and make lots of small optimizations — is basically the same as operating a small business. Or a giant one.
