Daily Inspirational Quote November 2 2014
“In ancient times,
everyone was considered to possess inner genius. It was a kind of guardian
spirit that accompanied a person through life and helped one overcome odds and
achieve personal heights. We’ve lost touch with this original meaning of genius
(related etymologically to the fabled genie in the lamp) in all our concern
over IQ testing and similar nonsense. It’s time we brought it back.” – Thomas
Armstrong, Ph.D.
Because having a “spark” of genius has nothing to do with
brain cells and DNA, anyone can be a genius. It’s a process of reaching above
and beyond our learned skills and knowledge and tapping into something higher,
something extraordinary. Genius can’t be measured or taught any more than love
can, for both are matters of Spirit, and Spirit is available to everyone, all
the time.
