You are a genius but probably don’t know it. In ancient Rome, it was understood that everyone is born with his or her own genius, a spirit of guidance and inspiration entirely unique to them. Today, we told that genius is miraculously rare – think Leonardo da Vinci or Stephen Hawking – and based on bizarrely high IQs. But genius has more to do with desire, in truth, and with courage, passion, and focus than it has with psychological testing. I’ve just done a piece about this for The Huffington Post. Genius informs the voice of your deepest self – the still small voice within – that guides you forward in mysterious ways having little to do with conscious will and much to do with learning to listen. So ask yourself: What gifts are you here to offer the world? No one else can do it for you. “There is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique,” as Martha Graham knew. “If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it.”
