There’s a remarkable truth about each of us: we all begin life brimming with genius. A groundbreaking Harvard study, called the Zero Point study, followed people over ten years to understand what genius really means.
It turns out, genius isn’t a rare gift reserved for a few—it’s the way we take in the world, process it, and transform that information through many channels. We perceive through sight, sound, touch, intuition, and beyond.
When we’re babies, nearly all of us—99%—are operating at this full spectrum of genius potential. But by age five, that number drops sharply to about 22%. By adulthood, only around 2% of people remain connected to that expansive, creative intelligence.
What happens in between? It’s the creeping shadow of self-doubt and internal judgment. We start listening to the voices that question us, compare us, and demand permission from others. We shut down our natural capacities and shrink away from the genius within.
But here’s the hopeful part: your genius never truly left. It’s still inside you, waiting patiently for you to find it again.
The journey from doubt to discovery begins with gentle trust—trusting that your inner wisdom is valid and powerful, even if it feels quiet or unfamiliar. When you open yourself to that possibility, you start to awaken a creative force that can shape your dreams and your life in profound ways.
This is your invitation to step away from the noise of judgment and reconnect with the innate genius that has always been part of your story. Trust your unique way of seeing and knowing. Believe in the power of your dreams.
You are capable of far more than doubt has allowed you to see.enius. Trust your genius, and believe in the power of your dreams.
