As Single Parents, we have one thing in common... We are raising children on our own.

And I've acknowledged before that each of our situations is unique and special.

Today I wanted to talk about something ELSE that is unique and special.

And that's what I'm going to call your "genius".

Your "genius" is something that is unique and special that you do... It's something that you are a MASTER of and something you LOVE to do.

Yeah, sound pretty BIG eh?

Not really, because if you're passionate about something, it's never going to be too "big".

It could be parenting... It could be playing a musical instrument or attending seminars. It could be computers or photography... There is something that you love to do that you're good at.

So, start off by asking yourself what you're good at...

Got it?

Good.

Now mentally list the aspects about it that you're good at... If its, say, playing guitar are you a classical player or do you like rock? Are you good at the blues or the oldies?

Okay, now that you've determined where you're at, now think about where you want to be.

Is there any aspect of your "genius" that you've always wanted to do?

Sticking with the example of playing guitar, what about learning another musical instrument... maybe something without strings like the piano or the sax?

This might sound like a little bit of a stretch, but it's something worth considering.

Why?

If you are in touch with your "genius" you can find ANYTHING.

...And I know this is a big claim, but I want to say that again just to make sure you read it correctly...

If you are in touch with your GENIUS you can find ANYTHING!

Yes, the reference is subtle and this might sound like a little bit of a stretch, but follow me here.

Let me preface what I'm about to say with the fact that the vast majority of people out there don't KNOW their "genius"... that we get... but the feeling that I've got from many people is that they don't want to even KNOW their "genius".

And this to me is sad... (and also a generalization)...

Remember how I talked about your Path and your Purpose?

Well, your "genius" is a bit like that...

Once you find it, you'll know it. And once you align it in your life, you're going to really ROCK it!

So, how can finding your "genius" apply to you?

First off, if you can find employment using your "genius", you're going to love not only your LIFE, but your JOB!

So many people are resigned to work a job they don't like or constantly telling themselves that something better is going to fall into their laps... and while I'm ALWAYS for thinking in the positive, this is something that only YOU have control over.

Secondly, as I mentioned before, your alignment with your "genius" will yield powerful results with very little energy.

Maybe you don't even KNOW what your genius is yet... And if this is the case, don't fret.... Your "genius" will come to you... And chances are you won't even know it at the time.

So, as your discovering your own genius remember that we're in this together, learning lessons along the way.

I'll talk to you soon,
