Strut Your Stuff: You are a Genius and don't know it: continued


The first thing we think about when we see the word Genius – is oh I am not as intelligent as those people – I could not be a member of Mensa. However, anything that is a talent; a gift; a different way of thinking, seeing things, understanding thing; an activity you are good at or are highly curious about – is (okay less stressful – can be) YOUR Genius.

Always feeling like you cannot explain to others how you can figure things out, draw pictures, make music, dance around, see the world (in a very unique way) – that’s because the resource bank in your brain is wired differently. The potential lies with each and every one of us. Sometimes we experience an ah ha, a curiosity, an event/experience, that tickles us pink (a moment of joy – ready to jump up and down). This is YOUR Genius.

Things you love are; obsessive about; excel in; come easy to you; draw you like a magnet – This is YOUR Genius.

Oh! NO- I don’t have a genius and no way am I a genius - I just doodle. Doodling is a form of art – Scarabochhio (Italian for doodling) – an entire gallery and instruction studio for doodling in Stevens Point, WI. So you see whatever that special something is (that only you know about?) is YOUR Genius.

That playful activity you did so much, as a youngster. Now you look back at it and smile or you buried it because “responsible adults” don’t do that or have time for such frivolousness. That playful activity that made you sing out loud or at least in your head, this is YOUR Genius. (Loving to watch is another clue)

Recognize YOUR Genius. Play with YOUR Genius. Be YOUR Genius. Strut YOUR Genius!!
