From the moment we are born, the world begins to brainwash [and heartwash] us.

...into believing that if we dare we will fall.

...into thinking that we are not cut from a cloth that will allow us to realize astonishing feats and handcraft astounding lives.

...into accepting drudgery and stress and ordinary and difficulty as necessary parts of our daily life [what a lie!].

The entire body of work behind genius and glorious achievement stands as testimony to so-called “ordinary” people who reprogram their minds, rework their habits and upgrade their spirits to make their genius real.

May I please remind you that your longings are there for a reason.

Your wishes to rise are honest [and deserve your time].

And your ethical ambitions demand your attention.

You can win. You are special. And no matter what yesterday looked like, today can be so much better.

We Are Born Into Brilliance

If unprepared, the stone-throwing of the critics and cynics can take you down.

The reality is that the very nature of being a visionary and world-changer during dark days means you’ll attract ridicule, jealousy and condemnation.

The more you own your power and develop the exceptional confidence that comes with making your fantasies real, the bigger your dreams will get. And when that happens, even more people will think you’re weird. And foolish. And wrong.

Those who condemn you are locked in their limited beliefs and terrified of their own bigness. That magic that was awake within them when they were kids has been stuffed deep into their darkest natures through life’s trials and corresponding traumas.

And so they know not what they do.

Their criticism is awesome soil within which to grow your faith in yourself. And your ironclad trust in your finest instincts.

Bless them rather than cursing them. For they are helping your rise.
