In the last section of the book Gay Hendricks talks about two major topics time and relationships.

Time
For time he says that we need to shift from a Newtonian view of time (that there is a scarcity of time or that either you will have not enough of it or too much of it) to an Einsteinian model of time - one of taking ownership of time as something inside of you. You are the source of it and can make as much of it as you want. 

Huh? You might be saying? I too was having a hard time understanding this concept, but the essence is we can relax into time instead of constantly fighting against it. The more you relax and be (e.g. - especially during the times when you can’t control time) the more productive you are in the times you can actually be doing something.

Relationships
The second topic he discusses is relationships. He says that  many people who are successful are in unsatisfying relationships often because of the Upper Limit Problem. He says as you bring two successful people together it can be magnified so he says becoming more aware of the tendencies each person has to self-sabotage, also being open to communication, allowing for some space to integrate the relationship with some alone time, and allowing for the full lifecycle of emotions can help in pushing through the Upper Limit Problem.

All of this is to say that relationships can be successful and satisfying as long as there is awareness, communication, and understanding of this Upper Limit Problem.

So as you can see the Upper Limit Problem can impact so many parts of our lives. With a lot of awareness and insights from this book we can make different choices than having these limits continue to run our lives and/or our work situations. We can transcend these limits and move into greater and greater levels of success and happiness.

What is getting in your way of success in creativity, money, or love? What can you do to transcend those Upper Limits in your life and/or in your business today?

Guy Hendricks, the author of “The Big Leap” says that we always have to be on the lookout for the Upper Limit Problem because we are always raising the bar on ourselves. Once we know we are at our upper limit we can ask ourselves these questions in order to continue to raise the bar into the Zone of Genius:

• What do I most love to do?
  
• What work do I do that doesn’t seem like work?
  
• In my work, what produces the highest ratio of abundance and satisfaction to the amount of time spent?
  
• What is my unique ability?
  

When you answer all of those questions you can then get clearer on what it is about you that is unique and what would put you in your Zone of Genius. 

For me it is listening and intuitively knowing the pain that people are feeling in order to then help them to shift out of it. What is yours?

The author also speaks about the ways to live in your zone of genius:

• Having a mantra and practicing meditation - to shift your consciousness to the new way of thinking
  
• The Enlightened No - saying no to the things that are not in your Zone of Genius
  
• Renewing and refining your commitment to the Zone of Genius - when you hit a wobbly spot recommit to staying in the Zone of Genius.
  

So what can you practice out of the three things described above to live in your Zone of Genius? I know for me the most important one is saying No to things that do not fit in my ultimate purpose. It is a commitment we all have to keep making over and over again. What are you going to commit to?
