Think a thought that’s never been thought before.
Have you got it? If it’s the kind of psychedelic thing like an umbrella that sings nursery rhymes while turning into a bicycle then forget it. That’s not new, that’s just jumbling abstract thoughts together.
No, this is the stuff of true genius. This is Euripides writ large, this is Leonardo inventing the parachute before anyone could fly, Newton understanding gravity. The unique thought, the new idea is the pivot upon which the whole of the human race could balance, the right one could be the key to unlocking remarkable things.
Whatever you do in your life, remember that true genius is the art of revealing the new. A Mozart does not write music, they capture the Universe through the medium of music and expose it for the rest of us to see. They share their insight, their inspiration and offer it as their gift to the rest of us. Ask yourself, what is my gift, what have I or will I share with the rest of the human race.
Catch this dragon by the tail and you are on the ride of a lifetime. Chase ‘Eureka!’ moments, have a desire, a purpose, a dream, no matter how bizarre it seems to others, if it fires your cylinders up and gets your mechanism whirring then good, providing your intention is clean and your aim is true the Universe will surrender its secrets to you. Whether through the medium of music, art, language, oratory, leadership, mentorship, whatever discipline you place yourself in you may articulate extraordinary perception through it.
We are a family, and the success of one is the heritage of us all. Earn the right to be human, being born here is simply touching base, magnify your existence with purposeful endeavour and then you may claim to have lived a life rather than just having been here.
Intend to strike such a blow upon the anvil of life as to resonate through the various dominions that make themselves known to human life. Be inspired, be exalted, walk with magnificent things and allow them to express themselves through your actions. Ordinary may get you through the day but extraordinary will carry you to greatness.
The choice is yours.
