What If You’re A Genius?

What if you're a genius?

No, really.

What if the reason you doubt your own ideas, question your insights, or feel the need to triple-check what you already know is because you spent so much time in spaces that made you believe you weren't brilliant?

What if the moments you second-guess yourself aren't because you're wrong, but because you've been conditioned to shrink, to downplay, to doubt?

For me? I got tired of shrinking.

Spending time in rooms where I had to dumb myself down just to be understood, not because I didn’t know what I was talking about, but because I was around people who couldn’t hold the depth.

But baby listen..

I know a lot about a lot.

Not just book knowledge, but life.

Systems. Energy. The mind. Behavior. Healing.

I live what I teach.

And for a long time, I was surrounded by people who made me feel like I was doing too much, just for thinking deeply, just for asking questions, just for being me.

Just for living in my genius.

The wrong spaces will have you questioning your brilliance.

Because when you're around people who are ego-centered and controlling, they don't see you as inspiration, they see you as competition.

And what happens when people see you as competition? Tuh! Plenty.

They have difficulty celebrating who you are.

They hesitate to congratulate you, downplay your achievements, make backhanded compliments or say nothing at all.

And if you're someone who doesn't have a strong sense of confidence yet… if you don’t fully see your own strengths, if you don't know how powerful your insight really is…

You’ll start shrinking.

You’ll start doubting.

You’ll start overthinking.

You’ll question whether you're really built for what you feel called to do.

It's easy to start thinking:

Damn, maybe I'm just overthinking.

Maybe I should just let it go.

Maybe I'm not as smart as I thought.

But then in private… in solitude… when no one is making you feel small,

You find solutions.

You see the patterns.

The answers come to you.

And yet your first thought is: No way. It can’t be that easy.

But what if it is?

What if you’re the one who cracked the code?

What if it’s only hard for them because they don’t have the clarity you do?

What if you’re built different… but you’ve been fighting it?

Your intelligence doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Your gifts don’t have to be validated to be real.

Your ideas don’t need to be over-analyzed, watered down, or second-guessed.

Be in environments that don’t make you feel small.

Find the people who want to co-create, not compete.

Surround yourself with folks who value clarity like you do.

People with emotional maturity. People with emotional depth.

People who get you.

People who don’t need to be convinced.

Start trusting your gifts and trusting who you are.

Focus on your own progress, your own peace, your own pace.

Own it!

Stop searching for proof and started acting like the genius you actually are.

Because maybe, just maybe…

You’ve been brilliant this whole time.

You just didn’t believe it.
