How Do I Know What I'm Good at? Finding Your Super Power
How do I know what I'm good at? How do I lead a purpose driven life? How do I discover my latent super power? What is my life's work and do I find it? What if I love something but am not sure if I can make money doing this?
This is the last leg of the Futur Euro Tour. It's an emotional ending to a wonderful trip. If you weren't able to attend any of the events, here's a glimpse at what you missed.

I hope one day I can meet you, Chris. The content you and your team create just to share knowledge for free to a whole community is beyond amazing. I don't have enough words to say how thankful I am to you and how much TheFutur has helped me to grow not only as a designer, but as a person. Thank you so much, Chris and TheFutur team. I'm coming for you one day.

ME TOO I'm at that moment now! wow
Doing what you are good at only worsens stress and I’ve now learned the hard way is a complete waste of time for me. I now pursue what I’m passionate about.
In just about one month I met you guys, you've changed my orientation on a lot of these things. I even helped my friend who does digital arts with one of those advice I got from your interview with Brian Collins... He was touched. I can't imagine how we'd all feel to see you and ask questions
hello from Brussels! Thank you so much Chris. It’s always a real pleasure watching “The Futur” and follow your inspirations, it’s beyond what we learned at school. You open our mind to think differently and push our doubt out of the limite to revealed our real skills and passion. It’s never late. Bless your Futurs inspirations Chris!
These contents are still so precious in 2021 and I love all, Chris Do and The Futur team is doing great things to change billions of people's life to the better including mine, thank you so much!
Chris you're doing amazing things. I can't wait to see where you will be in a few more years. Big thanks to the people at the Futur for providing amazing contents and never fail to motivate me to get better at Graphic Design.
Wow Jose was there! What a flashback to the start of the Futur/Skool . Love you guys
Chris you make me see my future in myself thank you so much. Glad I found your channel.

Your indeed a role model Chris. You inspire me alot . Keep up with the good work.
Thanks alot Chris, that was really amazing, please keep it up :)
Excellent! I was just cycling some distance and in my head I was repeating what I learned on your channel as a mantra. Thanks!

In October and November there are a lot of creative/artistic events such as Artissima and Turin Graphic Days, and you should totally check them out! It would be awesome to have you guys here 💙
Chris, thank you for this amazing Finding Super Power Framework!
I very enjoy when you talking, not a just about design but how to be a human being. you really really inspired me. thanks, Chris. Hope one day we can meet, talk and share about anything. see you in Indonesia
Hey Chris, love from India. Yesterday we had Independence day. True, Independence for me is like getting knowledge from your content and transforming myself for a better me. I've already accepted you as my Guru, one day I'm going to build a platform like you and add larger than life values for the youths who aren't privileged or have access to opportunities of learning independently. I promise you to build another Futur like community and that's my affirmation for each day. Thanks a lot for adding values to all of our lives, it means a lot🙏

Bidding for Bulawayo, Zimbabwe!!! #Wakanda ......awesome work guys, I've connected a lot through the internet and your story/work and purpose resonates across borders. Always pure inspiration for a creative to see myself as more!!!
I am learning to separate myself from my work, but it has been a journey. It helped when I started to think of hateful non-constructive comments as a rite of passage. Like, its gonna happen, people are mean. Might as well make it a sign that you're doing something right.
amazing talk , I love you , I will be happy to register to your school
Really inspiring Chris! I love how you make that "human connection" even virtually. I could say I am one of those person that you got inspired! God bless always, hopefully you could visit Philippines and I would definitely going to attend.

I found you on KZread from a recommended video on my feed. Whilst I love all things art and design - I am a stay at home mum so don’t work in these fields however I watch your videos because of the power of your words. I just think they emotionally resonate on so many levels regardless of what your viewers do. Your words I feel are really meaningful and powerful that I’m inspired by each video I watch! Thank you! If I could go back in time I’d have ignored my parents and gone to college and studied art and design ... never mind, I am very happy nevertheless.

It is always so inspiring to see just how much a creative head could change and impact the world! The futur is practically being the change in our big design industry. I'm aspiring to be the change that the world can celebrate. Will you guys ever come to India? It's so hard find the right work atmosphere here. People are so conservative about anything that has to do with design. It would be such a pleasure and honour to be present at one of your workshops!

My Super Power is to give more to others without any expectations. I have found that when I do give, the Universe always gives back. Try it! :)
Really great video and message. Thanks as always! I'm guessing that a lot of trial and error will still be needed, but is the idea that taking the time to do this mindfulness technique will keep you "brainstorming" for the right answer?

Hi Chris, come to Tromsø, a city in the arctics of Norway with 24-hour sun in the summer and 24-hour darkness in the winter (painted with northern lights). This place is a "hidden gem" for creatives with Film festivals, Music Festivals (Nick Cave, Asap Ferg and 50cent doing shows here), VR workshops, Climate conferences. But all these events need designers to make the audience know what, where and how things will be presented on an island city of 70 000 people. Having registered my own startup this year - Kerwel & Co. my aim is to use my international experience (motion graphics and design consultant) and help local designers to assist the rest of the world (which do have high-end degrees thanks to free universities here but still think they are not good enough to take on the global scene). I have been planning to rent a conference hall and invite speakers for a "Creative, but no future" talk with subject around so much tech available but not a lot of tinkering with clients. So clients see/feel/be the experience while the creatives refine/delete/build a "collaborative" tool. I have tested this with my first freelance project (3d animation ident) on Norwegian soil for the University of Tromsø vimeo.com/95256600. Result, not only a product for a client but an active learning experience of storytelling.
Gotta grind, gotta earn and give Thefutur back, i'm 32, with a design degree, and i'm prepared to learn everything I can, no excuses this time.
