My Superpower

Not to brag, but I feel like I do have a Superpower.

Now, when I do explain what I mean by having a super power, many of you will probably be disappointed because it probably won't be what you were expecting to read. Anyways, my superpower is my gut, my intuition.

Now I know everyone has got one of those, but I've come to realize that not everyone knows when their guts is talking to them, when they should listen to their guts, and that's where the superpower lies, being able to listen to your guts when it tells you something.

Earlier today, while I was at my neighbours room watching Manchester United get humiliated by Liverpool, a little drama broke out (that is other than Manchester losing 7 nil to Liverpool).

There was a guy in the room who started to curse out loud and was threatening to harm himself. No, he wasn't having any form of confrontation with anyone, he was angry at himself. It turned out he was one of those young guys who are into sport betting and no, he didn't use his school fees to bet.

He was angry at himself because according to him, while he was booking his bet, something (his guts) deep inside of him had told him to play Liverpool to win United, but he had ignored and had instead gone ahead to play United to win the game.

Now, using common sense, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he had done because currently, United are having one of the best time of the season and Liverpool are going through hell, so United were clearly the favourite for this game. But unfortunately, the unexpected had happened and now he's blaming himself.

And truth be told, I know how it feels losing something not because you had no idea about the other options, but you didn't only know about those other options, something inside of you had even told you to go for those options but you ignored and went for something else which turned out to be a failure. Those kind of loses pains the most and the regrets that comes after is a conversation for another day.

Listening to our guts is a superpower everyone possesses but not many knows how to use it. For those who do, other people see them as being lucky while in reality, all they do is listen. Luckily for me, I do listen to it every now and then.

Lucky me.
