The Dark Side Of Genius

Potent insight for today: all genius has a dark side. Study any revered genius or virtuoso of history and here’s what you’ll find: they were complicated people. For example, being massively creative comes with the dark side of having so many ideas you dissolve your focus. And the blessing of wanting to be amazing at your craft comes with the dark side of arrogance—that must be managed. The things that make you extraordinary are the very things that can drive the people around you crazy, right? Honor the gift and manage the dark side.
