“Others have given up on their own personal journey toward
discovering their inherent exceptional being because they feel as if they can
never compete with the false media images forever before their eyes.”
The Internal-Seeing-Eye of Genius
The sidewalk was crowed with people from all walks of
life. It wasn’t as if they were wearing
some kind of uniform or anything, but it felt as if they were all seeking to be
the same.
“Everyone is the same, different than me.” The voice inside my head registered.
It was a large city and there were hundreds of thousands of
people all around. They were from all
walks of life and from every corner of the globe, and it all felt
homogenous. Except for one.
I, the one, continued walking toward my hotel, self-contained
in a sea of humanity. I looked up at the
signs that were shouting, proclaiming the celebration of unique individual
gifts when another thought raced through my head.
“The masses of people invading this city are here to seek
the unique, to hear and see the exceptional talents of others. I wonder if they’ve sought the same within
themselves?”
Our world of instant information and worship of celebrity
seems to have taken a toll on our individual search for the exceptional within
us. Some have fallen prey to a mistaken
belief that being famous is the objective of all existence. Others have given
up on their own personal journey toward discovering their inherent exceptional
being because they feel as if they can never compete with the false media
images forever before their eyes.
Yet, there is another eye.
It is an eye that seems to be rarely used. It is the internal-seeing-eye
of genius.
This internal-seeing-eye of genius is not an eye of
selfishness. It is an eye that reveals unique
personal gifts and everyone has it.
Do you believe yourself to be a one of a kind? Have you been able to search within yourself
to discover what gifts are uniquely yours?
Are you able to share your special attributes with others to give what
only you can give?
I looked through my external eyes at the throng of people
ahead of me on the sidewalk. It wasn’t
as if they were wearing some kind of uniform or anything, but it suddenly felt
as if we had all taken the mistaken trip as we sought only to enjoy the unique
talents of others.
“Everyone is different than me.” The voice inside my head registered. “I wonder how I’m different? Perhaps it’s time for me to take another
trip, a trip of self discovery!”
