Gay Hendricks – The Big Leap Experience

Gay Hendricks – The Big Leap Experience

Go beyond your internal limits, release outdated fears and learn a whole new set of powerful skills and habits to liberate your authentic greatness.

Have you reached a level of respectable competence – or even excellence – that gets you by in life but leaves you feeling that your highest potential is, as yet, unexpressed?

Do you often feel like you are “going through the motions” rather than waking each day passionate to engage in your life?

You don’t need to feel badly if you answered “yes” to either question: This is the condition of the vast majority of people who have succeeded in meeting the basic challenges of making a living, developing relationships and creating a life for themselves.

They live moderately satisfying lives but there’s not a lot of zest. They look forward to their vacations as the time when they will really feel alive. They accept that their relationships are a bit flat. They are outwardly successful but feel a bit hollow inside.

So often as we achieve a moderate level of success in life, we get stuck on auto-pilot. Safety, security and the tried-and-true replace the things that truly make us feel alive. We do what we’re good at – not because we love it anymore – but because it pays the bills and we get respect for it.

We begin to settle, slowly but surely, into a humdrum existence rather than a passionate, spectacular, adventurous one.

While that may be normal, is it what YOU really want?

Do you want to end your life feeling that you haven’t fulfilled your highest purpose?

Chances are, you don’t.

You know that there is something amazing within you… a special gift for the world that only you can give. There is a “soul mission” you have that only you can complete. There’s an area of pure genius in you that’s just waiting to find it’s full expression.

You know, deep in your heart, that something in you is hungry to express a bigger, bolder, brighter you… the essence of who you are.

As you live into that bolder, wiser, more vivid version of yourself, you know that you will alsoplay a bigger game (even if it’s a less conventional one). You might start a new business. You might tell your story in a book. You might start teaching… travel to Africa… get engaged in transforming your community… fall passionately in love again….

Whatever that highest, truest expression of you is, it requires you to say an unequivocal “YES!” and commit to bringing it forth.

Going Beyond Your Upper Limit

The challenge as you commit to the journey of bringing it forth, though, is that you have a lifetime of beliefs, fears and habits that have held you back – often subconsciously and in subtle ways.

Taken together, they create what Gay Hendricks calls the “Upper Limit Problem,” that virtually all of us face: Parts of us are programmed to stay safe – not shine or stand out from the crowd.

In this way, we each create our own internal glass ceiling. We limit our fullest expression for fear of the consequences. We hold ourselves back because of a core set of beliefs that we will fail, we will be alone, or success will be burdensome.

And this paralyzes us from making the “big leap” into our greatness and our genius.

However, this doesn’t have to be the case… you CAN reprogram yourself, let go of the old fears and shift the focus of your creativity and your drive to what you are uniquely gifted at.

You can stop frittering away your time on areas where you don’t excel or things that you’re not passionate about, and focus more of your attention on what truly brings you alive.

You can, in short, live more and more from your genius and your soul.

The wonderful part is that when you dare to make the leap from your comfort zone into the unknown realm of genius, the universe conspires to help you.

That’s because what the world most wants and needs from you is that which is uniquely yours to give – something that literally no one else on the planet can deliver.

Your “Zone of Genius” is where the magic happens – where you become so excited by your mission you can’t wait to get out of bed. It’s when you create a career or business that is uniquely expressing your true gifts.

People who live from this place live longer, healthier, happier lives because they have more passion for what they do. They are creative, energized and more magnetic.

So, be honest with yourself, where are you not yet living in your Zone of Genius?

And not just what career you are in, but what are you doing with the hours of each day? How many of those hours are an expression of what is highest, best, most creative and most energizing for you to do?

Gay estimates that the real fulfillment in life comes when we spend 70% of our time living in our Zone of Genius.

If you’re like 99% of humanity, you are not spending nearly enough time in your Zone of Genius to feel truly happy and fulfilled.

But that CAN change and you can live the life you dream is possible.

Learning from a Master Guide

In The Big Leap Experience, New York Times bestselling author Gay Hendricks will help you reprogram yourself to make the shift into living more and more of your life from your Zone of Genius.

Gay’s book, The Big Leap, has been a bestseller for five years and sales have been steadily growing by word of mouth. It was launched right after the beginning of the “Great Recession,” and it has helped hundreds of thousands of people go beyond a culture of fear and safety and live out their true passions.

The results are remarkable on every level – from amazing careers to passionate marriages to vibrant good health.

Gay is a shining example of the benefits of what he teaches. He’s prolifically creative, wildly successful as an entrepreneur, a renowned teacher, and a devoted husband. At age 70, he lives more life in a day than even an exuberant 20-year-old.

As you understand the key fears and issues that hold you back – as well as how to address them in an effective and grounded way – you will also build daily and weekly practices that put you on a new exciting path.
