Regardless of our external circumstances, such as our upbringings, educations, or professions, we all have an internal capacity to achieve great things in our own lives and the world around us. To unleash this “inner genius,” however, it’s crucial to believe in its existence and develop the desire and motivation to reach the goals that we set for ourselves.

• Why it’s important to get clear on your values, and then strive to set and accomplish goals – beginning with small goals before expanding to more ambitious ones – that align with your values
• The power of surrounding yourself with people whose skills and talents complement your own, while also being cautious about which advice from others you choose to follow
• The value of seeking mentors – which may include channeling the intuitive guidance of great figures throughout history whom you admire – to help encourage you in the process of harnessing your genius potential
