Is obsession a bad thing or a superpower?

It can be either.

Obsession over what we don’t have, can’t control, or doesn’t serve us or others can be catastrophic.

On the other hand, obsession over a passion you have clarity on that serves the world even in the smallest of ways can be a great thing. An inability to walk away from puzzles. The drive to train every day at a sport. Needing to find different physical positions to move to in order to stay comfortable while reading.

Don’t be afraid to be obsessed. Be afraid to be obsessed with the wrong thing. And perhaps even more afraid NOT to be obsessed with the right thing.
