Accessing Your Genius
September 30, 2013
There was a study done recently at Harvard called the Zero Point study that was a ten year study on genius.
The genius capacity is demonstrated by certain individuals that bring forth great ideas, transformational thinking, movement, social change, innovative ideas that transform and transpose us to a whole new height of living.
What is this capacity?
The researchers began to define genius as the number of modalities with which one takes in information, synthesizes that information and makes use of it.
So you and I have many modalities with which we can take in information — auditorally, visually, kinesthetically, intuitively, etc.
But what they discovered was that 99% of babies—99% of you and me–operate at a genius capacity during the first eighteen months of life.
By the time we are five, only 22% of us are still operating at our genius capacity.
By the time we are twenty only 2% of us are still operating at a genius capacity.
What happens to us?
What they discovered in their research is that the shutting down of our capacities; the distancing of ourselves from our Genius Self happens through the learned voice of internal judgment.
We begin to doubt ourselves. We begin to question ourselves. We begin to look into other peoples’ eyes for who we are; for approval; for permission.
You have genius capacities in you. Today, connect to that genius. Trust your genius, and believe in the power of your dreams.
To Your Genius Self!

Honor Your Discontent
September 19, 2013
We don’t always know what our life’s purpose or journey is supposed to be or we may have so many dreams we are overwhelmed with them all. However, one thing is for sure: if we are feeling restless or discontent we are not living our dreams! Feelings of discontent and longings for something else, even when we don’t know for sure toward what we are being drawn, are actually calls from our inner voice or God to pursue our greater good. We discover true desire by first noticing discontent.
When you experience discontent or feel restless and you’re not sure why, don’t shut it out just because you don’t know what it means. When you shut off your yearnings you become numb and paralyzed to create something more interesting. Bring those inner rumblings to the front of your mind for examination. These rumblings are nudging you toward a more meaningful existence and urging you not to settle for mediocrity. By opening yourself up to them for examination you are allowing your discontent to lead you toward your purpose.
We also need to be aware of messages from those around us and not let others criticize us into shutting down our dreams, or even our discontent. Restlessness is our inner voice speaking to us, telling us there is more out there and we are not here to lead limited cramped lives. Allow that voice to be louder and ring truer than anyone else’s. We are not here to settle for less than our purpose, nor should we settle for what anyone else limits us to. Each and every one of us has infinite potential for creating whatever it is we want to create.
Dreams and desires pull at us, tug at us, speak to us, and will not leave us alone because we are not meant to live cramped lives. Let these inner frictions rub until they create the spark that will ignite the fire of your own purpose. You will know when your desire is sincere when just talking about it gives you energy and incites motivation in you, even when fruition is far off. Harness your positive energy to partake in the plan that is in store for you. In doing so, you will be honoring your discontent and letting it lead you to your greater good.
To Your Best Life
