If they don't express it, it is because of a whole bunch of limiting beliefs. Their negativity is so thick they don't even have a clue as to what it is they could be great doing or being... they don't see the genius within.
I haven't read Power of Now, so I can't comment on that. But, I have read many other books from Deepak and Chopra to Neale Donald Walsch and others. They ALL point to how we have greatness IN us.. EVERYONE.
It is IN you, are you tapping into it? Are you allowing it to be? It is a limiting belief to say "some have it and some don't and if you don't show it by age X you obviously don't have it." I know this limiting belief well because my husband has it. He is not happy in life. He also tells me everyday, "There is nothing I can do now, It's too late." Okay. Then it is. Not for ME though. I am finding new "genius" within me on a steady basis! I have new inspirations and new drive like never before. I am choosing to tap into it now. |
I agree generally in what you are saying. I know there is great potential within each of us. However, if each of us is already great, if each of us is already a genius, then we are back to a level playing field, where being great or a genius is just plain average.
It's a bit like a few years ago - only a few people had an MA, and it was a very desirable qualification to have when applying for a managerial position. Now, everyone sems to have one!
Yes, let's encourage people to improve their skills, let's work at it. But, please don't say you can go from stacking shelves to painting The Last Supper, just by visualizing it, twenty minutes a day. Let's be realistic here.
If your dreams help you get through the day or night, that's fine. I often dream about scoring the winning goal for England in the World Cup final, but is it going to happen?
