Happy Valentine's Day. On this day of love, I ask you, do you choose love? It is a choice, one that reason truly has not part in. This is the deep, unconditional love we all crave, and yes, it is a choice. Frederic Keeling asks in The First Step in Mastery, "Which would you rather live with, a person who would reason with you, or one who would love you?"Michele Jennae is the founder of EDGx365, where Every Day Genius isn't about IQ.

Brendon Burchard talks about the Wooded Wilds of living in the introduction to his book The Charge. Building on yesterday's episode, specifically regarding Emerson's challenge to us to live instead of merely getting ready to live, I explore briefly Burchards Wooded Wilds. Challenging? Yes. Exhilarating and worth it? DEFINITELY!!

Ralph Waldo Emerson makes an observational statement that sounds very matter of fact, but the matter is a challenge to us. Are we truly living or merely getting ready to live?Michele Jennae is the founder of EDGx365, where Every Day Genius isn't about IQ.

In a prelude to topics covered in the following two episodes [119] and [120], I explore the etymological root of the word "choice," how I think it is related to the word "zest," our first VIA Strength of the year (See episode [78], link below), and also how choice is at the very foundation of our human experience.https://open.spotify.com/episode/7ukveCwTuFQfvfumMPumL7?si=Fjn_bsd0S22ekW8FSRSokQ Michele Jennae is the founder of EDGx365, where Every Day Genius isn't about IQ.

Joseph Campbell says, "Follow your Bliss." While Campbell meant something quite profound, his words are often erringly simplified to mean "just do what's fun." Angie Dixon of Profound Creativity says we fare much better if we follow what's interesting. That way when things aren't fun, and they aren't always fun, we can sustain activity and push through some of the less exciting moments.Angie Dixon is an author, artist and all-around creator.

Expanding on yesterday's episode, today I focus more on what it means to be in tune, to be aligned. We must learn to embrace the paradoxical nature of action and inaction. We must actively "retreat" in order to tune in to the signal. What is perceived as inaction is intentional and purposeful, unlike an inaction that has no grounding in being and becoming but is instead an avoidance of those very things.Michele Jennae is the founder of EDGx365, where Every Day Genius isn't about IQ.

In Fate and Destiny, author and mythologist Michael Meade implies in an inspiring quote that more of us need to be extravagant enough to wander where our souls would lead us, but also a need to be "in tune" with our own ideas for our lives. In this episode I explore the words extravagant and tune/signal in the context of leading soul-fulfilled lives.Michele Jennae is the founder of EDGx365, where Every Day Genius isn't about IQ.

Angie Dixon says we're all performing being people.

Many of us grew up hearing that we needed to finish the food on our plates and check off all the items on our to do lists. When is finishing not as advisable as we are led to believe?

Continuing our conversation from episode 106, Angie Dixon and I explore the idea of chaos and controlled chaos, riding the spirals, sparks, and swerves of life.

Hope as a character strength. In today's episode, I read a thought-provoking quote by Vaclav Havel, and then I dive into the etymology of the Latin word for hope, sperare. I have tended to attribute it with waiting, according to my knowledge of the Spanish word esperar, which also means hope, but the daily usage is generally translated as "wait." Some surprising roots are revealed.Michele Jennae is the founder of EDGx365, summoning the Every Day Genius in YOU!As someone who was stuck for years in the cognitive dissonance of wanting to step into Brilliance, but settling for lackluster, It's MY MISSION to show you your inherent Genius and help you shine.Go from sepia-toned existence to Vibrant Living!⁠EDGx365.com⁠⁠Facebook.com/edgx365

Angie Dixon is the author of the book The Leonardo Trait, founder of Profound Creativity and diagnosed ADHD and autistic. She joins Every Day Genius to talk about creativity for neurodivergents but her advice seems poignantly accessible for all of us. Today she discusses the idea of accommodation in physical spaces for differently abled people. No easy answers but easier answers, she says.Angie Dixon is an author, artist and all-around creator.

In today's episode I ask Angie to dig deeper into neurodivergence and what she means by masking and unmasking. She says we all have personas, and we all mask and unmask, but the experience is different for those who aren't neurotypical because they've had to mask in ways the rest of haven't.
