Make a list of the things you do naturally without even thinking about it. (You may want to ask others for feedback, as it's common because they can see talents in us that we can not see ourselves) Such natural talents may be: an eye for detail, a great sense of humor, a nurturing side, the. ability to focus intently, or being playful. (Consider also, the things you've done that have gotten you into trouble - oftentimes if you turn them around and look at the positive aspects of it, you'll find a gem of a natural talent that you previously had not appreciated. ) These are your genius. Genius comes easily and profoundly, without needing to expend a lot of energy. Some people are geniuses at math or music; but there are lots of other types of genius as well. There are genius mothers, genius teachers, genius listeners, and genius independent thinkers. We are meant to use our genius in service of our Life Purpose.
