What is Genius??
In 1980, psychologist Dr. Alfred Barrios studied the world’s greatest geniuses and put forth they had 24 characteristics in common, and that these traits could be developed by anyone.
Thus, genius is not just exclusive to a few exceptional individuals…
…but inclusive
of ALL people everywhere.
Further research clarified the true meaning of the word:
“that which brings into existence”
“that which produces”
“that which contains”
n. The inherent, innate potential within all people to do extraordinary things.
The inherent nature means you have the right and power to create and make things happen.
