Are you a genius?

Don’t be so quick to dismiss your abilities.

Genius = Artist = Linchpin = an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, someone who can invent, connect, and make things happen. A Linchpin is someone who isn’t afraid to stand out or to share her gift with the world. And more importantly, it’s someone who’s willing to break the rules.

So can you be a linchpin? Seth thinks we all can.

“The linchpins among us are not the ones born with a magical talent. No, they are people who have decided that a new kind of work is important, and trained themselves to do it. I’ve never met someone who had no art in them, though it’s buried sometimes.

The Old American Dream: keep your head down, follow instructions, show up on time, work hard, suck it up…you will be rewarded.

The New American Dream: be remarkable, be generous, create art, make judgment calls, connect people and ideas…and we have no choice but to reward you.”
