Genius is a potential that lives within you and every other human being. I'd like you to consider what might seem like a radical idea: genius can show up in as many ways as there are human beings. – Wayne Dyer

Can you remember how it felt when someone you didn't know very well casually said, "You're so good at that"? Or the feeling you had when a particular task immediately filled you with a sense of purpose, focus, and a desire to really excel? Or the immense satisfaction of doing a certain activity, in which you lost track of time and the actions flowed naturally and effortlessly?

Each of these situations would be examples of you tapping into your natural-born genius, your innate and unique talent, and your infinite riches. Each and every one of us has these in abundance. For some people, their riches are buried deep, barely surfacing to be acknowledged or understood; for others, they manifest daily, garnering admiration all around.

The Goal is a New Mindset

My primary objective is to put you in the driver's seat so that you can draw from the well of your infinite riches, manifest daily the exclusive talent you were born with, and thereby live in harmony with your soul. By tapping into your infinite riches, you can achieve whatever you want – be it financial abundance, career progression, a desired lifestyle, or the perfect expression of your own happiness.

For it is in giving that we receive.

A Simple Life: St Francis of Assisi

I want you to really understand and make it a way of life to recognise your very own infinite riches and harmonise with them. Your primary focus is to manifest your infinite riches, to give them physical form.

When that happens, through the nature of your enterprise (the work you do), you enrich everyone your work touches. As a result, your infinite riches benefit you as well, in direct alignment with the extent to which your work benefits others. Your deepest wishes, however, can only be fulfilled if, while expressing your genius, you originate from a place of generosity with a genuine desire to positively impact everyone you serve.

St Francis of Assisi traded wealth for a simple life and gained true riches through the lives he touched. When blended together, the power of generosity, the mindset of giving, and the quality of compassion create a positive ripple effect, opening the door to more abundance for all involved.

When I started to live my purpose to uplift humanity, the overarching sentiment in my heart was about how I could benefit the people I was interacting with.

How Uplifting Others Builds Your Infinite Riches

This sentiment has consistently remained paramount as I've continued on this journey and started to interact with more and more people with every passing year. Eventually, what started as a tiny venture with a handful of people took on a life of its own and metamorphosed into writing a book for readers globally and founding my enterprise, which has grown to a presence on every continent.

The principal point to grasp here is that the feeling generated within me at every successful step was such that I was overwhelmed with gratitude and humility, often with a lump in my throat rather than an ego-driven sense of achievement.

This feeling comes when you are on the path you know you were meant to follow. You cherish every moment of it, and you gradually make it a way of life. This, in turn, transforms your life such that you are living your foremost purpose, benefiting everyone you interact with, and setting in motion the forces that ensure your financial freedom. In other words, you start to manifest your infinite riches.
