Intelligence and Influence: You’ve got this
11 November, 2020
I write this because this week I have heard from several people the general view that they are feeling that they have nothing to offer…no gifts to share.
There’s been spells of frustration or despair for them, and at such times, it’s common to feel worthless. It can seem that everyone else is far more brilliant, beautiful & worthy of consideration.
In times like these, take solace in the one thing that you can offer that no-one else can: your unique perspective.
You see, nobody looks at the world the way that you do, nor thinks in exactly the same way. Once you start to engage your innate intelligence, be it simple and from the heart or complex and of the mind, your unique creativity begins to shine, and you become a beacon of brilliance.
You may be sitting on the one solution that no-one else can imagine, or you may hold just the right words to bring comfort and understanding to a tense situation. You never know until you start to apply your mind, your perspective & your creativity to something outside of yourself.
And sometimes, you don’t even need to EXPRESS your intelligence. Consider the CEO who sits with her team-leaders, intently listening to their ideas until brilliance is born. By simply sitting in active contemplation, you “magically” amplify the collective intelligence.
How will YOU influence the world TODAY?
