Day 23 ~ Your Zone of Genius ~ Q3 2018
"The purpose of all life on earth is to grow."
~LeAura Alderson
Working in your zone of genius feels like coming home. Your zone is the place you feel more alive, present and in your element. Your zone nurtures your soul, refreshes your spirit and rekindles your dreams.
Popularized by psychologist and author, Gay Hendricks in his book The Big Leap, "zone of genius" is another term for purpose or passion. In his landmark book, The Element, British author and speaker, Sir Ken Robinson calls it "your element". Hungarian-American psychologist and author, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, [pronounced like 'Me-high Cheek-sent-me-high] calls it "flow state"' in his book by that title.
We've all heard idioms like: "He took to it like a fish to water", and the concepts of time disappearing when we're in our element. That's also your zone of genius.
Start. Sustain. Succeed!
