The buzz, the magic & the genius flow ~ How to find it & live it.

I watched this great TED video today of Shonda Rhimes, TV writer / producer, talking about finding the humm -- "God's whisper in your ear" as she puts it. I call it the buzz -- that magical rush that goes through you when everything is working, when genius is pouring through you, when Life is full and rich and wonderful.

In the last 9 months I've been practicing living in the buzz, the humm, the magic, the genius flow and OMG has it been amazing. Here's what I've discovered about how to find it and live it.

FOLLOW THAT INNER COMPULSION TO DO GREAT THINGS:
I've discovered recently that doing things simply to 'make money' falls flat on its face every time. But if I do it from the wondrous compulsion inside me to do something great for the world, wow, the universe lines up behind me and it flows brilliantly with almost no effort at all.

UNLEASH YOUR GENIUS:
Everyone has a grand purpose to fulfil on this planet right now and your genius is the pathway into that. Your quirky, unique genius dwells inside you, just waiting to be unleashed into the world. Find all kinds of ways to unleash that, et voila, you are living and thriving in the buzz!

FIND YOUR GRAND PURPOSE & LET IT WHISPER IN YOUR EAR:
Finding your grand purpose is easier than you might think. It's right there, humming away in your tummy, buzzing away in your ear. It's those thoughts you think when nobody's watching -- those impossible, improbable 'who me?' kinda thoughts that stir your waking moments into buzz land. Everybody has them, but few people listen to them. My advice: Get to work on those whispers now, even if it's in a tiny way just to start, and everything in the universe will line up behind you to bring it alive and make it real.

LISTEN TO THE WHISPERS:
There is a greater, grander force whispering in our ears right now. Call it what you will ... Greater Self, Genius, God, the Universe ... that voice is constantly trying to get our attention and lead us in the right direction to fulfil ourselves brilliantly. Give more credence to the whispers in your ear than to the thoughts in your head. Thoughts seem designed to limit us and make us small, whereas whispers are meant to illuminate us and make us great.

AND FINALLY, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU DO:
Do only that which you love and if you need to, learn to love what you're doing. That generates the buzz, and it's this high vitality state that will lead you home to the most amazing contributory life you can imagine and to a world beyond our collective wildest dreams.
