Want a Work of Genius?


Ralph Waldo Emerson said, In every work of genius we recognize our work of genius.jpgown rejected thoughts. Mistakes slow many people down... and yet often help successful people to hold out hope….

It’s easy to fail and we all crash at times… but creative risk takers rewire their brains to  move beyond mistakes and failures.... Have you known leaders who let their brains capitalize on letdowns...? Some even help others cope with catastrophes?   Or did you ever meet disappointments in your life… with hope and courage?

Abraham Lincoln was a guy who could have been a whiner and yet ended up a winner….

 In 1836, Abe's business failed… so looking past the letdown… he made other business ventures. In that same year, he lost his bid for re-nomination to run for Congress. In response to this disappointment, he took another risk and sought nomination to run for president in 1854. Further fiasco…he was not nominated. More letdown…he lost his senate race in 1858.

Mistakes for Lincoln , however, transformed his mind into hope and compassion for leadership… simply because he turned his attention to converting errors into winning opportunities. You could say his mistakes created entrance points into new ideas…. Have you ever built positive stepping stones toward success out of  your mistakes? How could you inspire a new start today… one that rewires your brain so that hope motivates you to a winner’s peaks?

Evidence of hope shows in what response you choose and how you speak… Do you point out problems? Or do you build pathways of hope… by the way you suggest possibilities…?

Did you know that every time you choose hope… your brain rewires for new possibilities… the kind that motivate a work of genius? Have you seen it happen?
