Today’s Mandala Message: In What Arenas of Your Life Does Your Core Genius Play
This week I’m working through Principle #39 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Stay Focused on Your Core Genius”. I set my intention today to ponder how my unique ability plays out in different situations.
From a StrategicCoach.com post entitled “How To Identify Your Unique Ability With These 6 Tips” one of the ways is to notice that “It shines in many different situations and opportunities. Look for and pay attention to the activities and habits that come naturally to you and that stand out in many different situations. Your Unique Ability is the essence you bring to all scenarios in which you thrive and likely comes so easily to you that others will recognize it before you recognize it in yourself.”
From childhood and through most of my life, I tend to find myself in situations where I’m in charge or I’m the one who takes the lead. I’m like everyone else’s test case. “Let’s see how it goes for Maureen first and then I’ll consider it.”
Now I’m in a place where I’m about to take the lead in another situation and I admit, I’m nervous about it. But now that I’m writing this all out, I’m recognizing the pattern and that it’s okay to make the first move. I’ve survived it before, I’ll survive it again.
A good mindfulness practice would be to consider what unique ability you have that seems to transcend multiple situations.
So what about you? What ability of yours seems to work well in multiple situations? Can it be tweaked for other situations? How might it be useful beyond the norm?
