Hey Everyone-

Well, I've had the book for several years, and have been inspired by its simple and compelling rewording of things I have been studying for many, many years. "Studying" is the operative word though, as I am by nature very intellectual. I "know" a lot of things, and have "tried" a lot of things, but never fully assimilated them on a feeling/emotional level, and in fact have simply been repeating the same behavior over and over for most of my life and, surprise, surprise, been getting the same results. I am exhausted, and feel unfulfilled in virtually every area of my life beyond my relationship with family, and am fed up with my failure to manifest for myself what I was born to accomplish. I am committed to discover and live my life's purpose, and know and feel that I am on the right path. All I need now is the determination to stay on purpose, and accept the support that has always been there for me.

For the last few years I have toyed with the idea of taking the Genius course, and finally decided to pull the trigger to coincide with a new chapter in my life. I quit a job that was making me crazy, the ultimate example of just settling for what I could get, rather than being determined to create what I want, and moved to Texas to look for work. I now realize that even this move was an intellectual decision, and not based on my hearts desires, and am exploring another move which I think does.

In addition, I have been so anxious to change my patterns, and create something new and intrinsic for myself, that I have been racing through the course in anticipation of putting everything I know intellectually into practical use. I also- up to this point, was new to and not very intuitive about forums, and didn't know how to get started. In the past I would have just thrown up my hands and gone it on my own, but I am taking to heart the suggestion to slow down and share as I go- give and receive. I have found many comments to be helpful, and hope to make some helpful comments myself, and let things kind of sink in a little bit more by participating in discussions, before I continue the course.

See you all around, and all the best to you in your efforts to create fulfilled lives for yourselves.

Hi Greg!

Welcome to the course and to these forums!

The course is not a race, there is no competition, no prize for fininshing first! In fact those who take their time and relax into it normally are the ones who really "get it" and are the real winners!

We are all looking forward to your first a-HA moment!

Welcome and congratulations for taking the first few steps towards your dreams!
