We ARE all geniuses

Hi, ladies~
Well, I've only just started TJEd, but so far I'm loving it. One of the many things that has really struck me is his notion that, "Greatness isn't the work of a few geniuses, it is the purpose of each of us. It is why we were born. Every person you have ever met is a genius" (pg. 8). Wow. This is so true. Heavenly Father didn't send us to Earth to be mediocre, He sent us here to do great things! I think we too often choose to live comfortably in mediocrity. We are lazy. We ought to live greatly! I think this takes a lot more energy and requires much more of us, but what is the point of settling for something other than our greatest potential? Life isn't about choosing the easy road, it's about choosing the right road and learning to be ultimate leaders some day. This should inspire us to study and grow rather than just "get by."

What do you think?
