Technology-of-Genius

=**The Technology of Genius**=

The technology or tools of genius involves how to find it and how to develop it and then how do you use it? The first technology of genius is mission. How do you find your genius? You find your mission. Everyone has a mission or a genius - something that is unique and significant to the world. If everyone fulfilled their mission, we would see such a robust society. Some potential missions could be (or like) feed the hungry, clothe those in need, liberate the captive, educate the ignorant, spread beauty, heal the sick, spread prosperity, heal families. There are many many missions out there. This doesn't pigeonhole you into an area. Healing the sick doesn't have to mean nurse or doctor, could be helping people with the right kind of foods...could be as the leaders of your family with your children. Educating the ignorant doesn't have to mean teacher...could be helping your career/job more efficient. A technology is something that enhances our abilities. Knowing our mission expands who we are and what we can do and helps us identify our genius. Everyone has genius - not the same genius. In terms of a personal career choice, the intersection of passion, potential, and profits gives us our purpose and can help us detect our mission.

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose in life and then put your heart and soul into it. This is lacking in education today. Imagine the eagerness to learn when we are all figuring out our purpose - our mission that we were created for. You look at the world as it is, then you look at the world as it should be and then insert yourself in there. There are many in history who did great things because of their genius or mission or purpose. For example, R.G. Letourneau was one. Your area of genius or your mission doesn't come easy. It takes work...but the result is fulfillment and a better world/nation/state/county/community. If everyone gave their heart and soul to a mission mentioned or something like it, the world would be a much better place.

Why do some people see success and others not? Imagine there was one extra hour added to the day. Most people would mesh that hour in with everything else they do...or sleep...or wasting time. The successful person would be using that hour to work on his/her mission. It's easy to see the end result of a person's success, but look at how that person got there. Andrew Carnegie came to America penniless. We all study the end result - a captain of industry, but he had to work a lot of jobs and work hard to get there.

Another technology of genius (after knowing your mission) is deeper and more profound, which is submission. A mission is worthy of submission. Who is it for is the question to ask. When your mission impacts others in a positive way, society booms. Ford made the automobile affordable for all. He wanted to earn wealth, but also wanted to make a car for everyone. Submission also means listening to others who have earned success in your mission area, such as a mentor. Choosing a successful mentor is important...someone who will truly make you better. Pride often gets in the way of us thinking we don't need anyone. Sometimes our parents do know what's best for us! A guaranteed way to be miserable is to make all your decisions that don't go toward your mission. There are rules to see success, but most don't want to submit to those rules. Everyone wants the perks of success, but most don't want to put in the work.

Then there is the technology of co-mission. Don't fall into omission...we all have "yeah, buts" that block us. Co means with. Co-mission is working together with others in your mission...being around others that are like-minded...strength in numbers. Companies that have all employees together on the same mission boom...ones that see division falter....same with a sports team, or a church, or a school, etc.

Then there is trans-mission, which occurs when you take all of the energy around your mission concept and send it out to impact the world. This happens during a freedom shift. This doesn't happen much in a force shift, which is why it sounds a bit odd (the whole thing). Billy Graham is one who changed the world for good. He put himself between what the world is and what it should be. Benjamin Franklin was another. Martin Luther King Jr. was another. How about Abraham Lincoln? How about Mother Theresa? Changing the world and not caring who gets the credit for it is true leadership.

All of these steps takes a lifetime to fulfill. Any person from history mentioned didn't change the world in a month, or a year. It takes time. Everyone you know or will ever know is a genius...not the same genius...but definitely a genius. It takes mission, submission, and co-mission to turn into trans-mission and see success. The trouble is, only a small percentage are willing to put in the necessary effort.
