Living in the Zone of Genius

This week, we move deeper into Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap, and these two chapters reveal how to move from occasional moments of inspiration to a life of consistent flow and fulfillment.

 

Chapter 3 – Getting Specific About Your Zone of Genius

 

Hendricks challenges us to identify the activities that make time disappear, the things that feel natural, joyful, and energizing. These are clues to your Zone of Genius.

He suggests asking yourself:

• “What work do I do that doesn’t feel like work?”

• “What could I do all day and still feel renewed?”

• “What unique gifts do I bring that truly serve others?”

•  

The goal is clarity. Once you name your Genius Zone, you can begin aligning more of your time and energy around it. Even a small daily shift toward this zone increases happiness and productivity.

 

Chapter 4 – The Ultimate Success Mantra
Here, Hendricks introduces a simple affirmation that helps dissolve fear and expand capacity for success:

 

“I expand in abundance, success, and love every day, as I inspire those around me to do the same.”

 

He encourages repeating it often, with emotion and intention. This mantra retrains the mind to welcome greater joy and opportunity rather than self-sabotage.

 

These chapters remind us that success isn’t about grinding harder, it’s about expanding into who we already are at our best.
