WASSUP - Genius
So you thought you knew the meaning of the word genius? Someone who has an extraordinary talent or ability. Yes?
The origin of the word genius is, "in or with spirit". It is the extraordinary something that makes the difference and gives you genius. Something that is beyond yet within. Greater than ourselves and at the same time, very much part of who we are.
You may be very good at what you do but is there something missing? Have you discovered your genius?

INSIGHT OUT - Zig Zag
"There is a time and a season for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven ...
a time to tear down and a time to build."Ecc 3:1&3
zag
this is the way it's done around here
zig
cut a new track and go for it
zag
conventional wisdom says...
zig
but conventional wisdom is what got us into this mess
zag
it can't be done
zig
nothing is impossible but the word impossible
zag
it's going to take more time
zig
now's good
zag
it's time to invest
zig
it's time to spend
zag
but everyone is doing it
zig
all the more reason to zig
There's a time to zig and a time to zag
zig zag
"My gut reaction has always been to zig when everyone else zags"

OUTSIGHT IN - Between the lines
we all do it
you're aren't really reading this are you?
read between the lines
sometimes it is there and sometimes not
what is being said is nothing compared to what is not
but we all go looking for it
the script is black on white
some fill in the "white" with their own meaning
but message is found white on black
what I said was not what you heard
you pick up each word, look it over, test and taste it before you swallow
or have you measured my words carefully and truly understand?
hook line and sinker
got ya!
email me if you get it
