The Genie in Genius

Elizabeth Gilbert's talk on re-thinking the idea of genius.

"Don't be afraid. Don't be daunted. Just do your job. Continue to show up for your piece of it, whatever that might be.

If your job is to dance, do your dance. If the divine, cock-eyed genius assigned to your case decides to let some sort of wonderment be glimpsed for just one moment through your efforts, then Olé. And if not, do your dance anyhow, and.... Olé to you nonetheless, just for having the sheer human love and stubbornness to keep showing up."
- Elizabeth Gilbert
