What if genius was inside each one of us instead of a select few? In this thought-provoking video, mythologist and author Michael Meade invites us to rethink the word "genius," consider its original meanings, and get to know our true selves. "The resident spirit of the soul, the genius, combines the inherit gifts and talents born with us as well as the inner inclination and the style that gives shape to one's character from within...." Our task is to awaken it and become who we're supposed to be. "The self that we're supposed to become is seeded in us from the beginning ... everybody's already won the lottery in the sense that everybody has this genius inside." Hear what that means for ourselves and others.

    I first heard Michael in the documentary "Mythic Journeys", and found him to be wise and spot-on then. Now, here's another example of his genius. Be yourself - so simple, so why so hard? Because life is an obstacle course and we are hobbled as if in a three-legged race. Drop it all, and drop deeply into yourself. Keep up the inspiring work, Michael!
