Make a continuous effort to listen more carefully to your inner insights; that little voice that speaks to you above the noise of the crowd. This voice is your private hotline to God. It may come as thought; a daydream, or a sign on a building. You may have dismissed this voice as insignificant; too outrageous, or just hopeful thinking, but if these thoughts seem to persist particularly if they relate to new activities and challenges, then they are not there by accident.
Those tenacious thoughts that won’t go away should be taken seriously. They are thoughts of an all-knowing, infinite Creator who is saying to you, “Why do you keep ignoring the genius that I have created in you? Why do you keep settling for less, when I have great plans for you? You have a unique gift to offer this world, and I have made you unique in the entire history of humankind.”
David Hawkins writes in the book Power vs. Force, “From our studies it appears that the alignment of one’s goals and values with high energy attractions is more closely associated with genius than anything else.” Be a lover of life. Refuse to have thoughts of bigotry; hatred; anxiety; anger, and most important, judgment.
Trust yourself. As a piece of God, your genius will sprout forward and blossom as the springtime flowers. Start with judgment. We are so quick to judge other people because they do not think, act, or talk like us. We want to try to live their lives for them. We see only those things that are different and classify them as being wrong. Look for the genius in others. Pay attention to the greatness you observe in as many people as possible. If at first you don’t see it, then look harder. You cannot see the genius in others if you cannot see the genius in yourself. Simplify your life and rid yourself of complications, meaningless rules, must dos, have tos, and so on. By un-complicating your life and removing the nit picky little details that keep you in constant disharmony, you will open the channel that connects you to the greatest source in the universe.
