A recently came across the term HSP (Highly sensitive person) and how this has been shown that about 20% of people have thweir nervous system wired differently. Suddenly happiness could enter as it was OK to be me rather than feeling there was always something wrong with me. I also work with Human Design which has been an amazing journey a bit like getting your own personal instruction manual and it helps very much with self actualisation. All these sessions on AFH have been amazing at filling in some of the holes.

Thank you for pointing out that not all schools support open-minded intellectual curiosity. Many such children are harshly shut down in their schools, and sometimes in their families as well. The characteristics of gifted children sound desirable until you know one, and hear how they are frequently resented for the way they look at life. They are disruptive, argumentative, question authorities, and largely are a lot of work. NOT criticism AT ALL. We need these people to move society forward. But they aren't welcomed for any of these traits in traditional cultures or facilities.

Centuries ago Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said "Genie ist Arbeit", translates to "Genius is Work".
