I have been leading a book study group on the Big Leap and just completed today! What a powerful 20 weeks it has been, sharing deeply with 8 other courageous souls, taking their life on.
The book is based on us living in our zone of genius, and powerfully removing any upper limit barriers that come into play, sabotaging our relationships, health and finances. Gay clearly states how we will only allow ourselves to feel so much joy, peace or good feelings for so long before we take ourselves out and go back to our comfort zone.
He clearly speaks into the space of how we all have a unique ability and can live in our zone of genius, instead of our zone of competence or zone of excellence. This is where the magic ensues!
The four barriers that get in the way of us living in our zone of genius:
1. The first barrier is the false belief that we are fundamentally flawed in some way. If we carry this feeling within us, we sabotage our success because we think we’re essentially bad. If something good happens, we must mess up to offset it, because good things can’t happen to bad people.
2. The second barrier is the false belief that by succeeding, we are being disloyal to and leaving behind people in our past. If we harbor this feeling within us, we sabotage our success because we think it’s disloyal to our roots to soar too far into the stratosphere.
3. The third barrier is the false belief that we are a burden in the world. If we carry this feeling inside us, we sabotage our success so that we won’t be a bigger burden.
4. The fourth barrier is the false belief that we must dim the bright lights of our brilliance so that we wont outshine someone in our past. If we hold this feeling inside us, we tend to hold ourselves back from expressing the full potential of our innate genius.
He states that if we understand why we have limited ourselves liberates a new energy in us, which we can draw on to propel us to new heights of abundance, love and creativity. Who else wants more of that?!!
I cannot recommend this book enough! Step into your life fully, and live the life YOU choose. Blessed be
