2. The Five Frequencies

We each have personal passions (what we love most) and personal talents
(what we do best).

The strongest teams are built when people share the same passions and have
different talents that compliment each other.

The Genius Test uses the four seasons and five Chinese elements to explain
how we learn, lead, live and love most naturally. When studying a wide cross
section of people taking the Passion Test, we found that all their passions fit
into the same 30 broad categories, and these fit into the same five frequen-
cies. Knowing the natural frequencies that align to your passions, allows you
to create the right environment, community and set of activities to live your
passions most naturally.

Match your Top 5 Passions from the Passion Test with the Passion Elements
by ticking the box underneath the passions and learn...

3. Score Your Passions
List your top 5 passions and how you rated them when you took the test. Go
through these passions and rate each one on a scale of 0 to 10. Zero means
you’re not living this passion in your life at all, whereas ten means that you have
fully integrated it into your life.

If your attention is on all the things you can’t have and can’t do, then you won’t
have them and you won’t be able to do them. If your attention is on the bene-
fits, blessings, and good fortune flowing into your life, then you will find more
and more of those things showing up.

If you are really honest with yourself, you will discover that the subject of your
attention is what you create as an experience.

The great news is that where you place your attention is primarily a habit. Given
about twenty-one days of consistently applying a new behaviour, you can
change any habit. All that is required is the will to make the change. Or has
your attention gone to all the bills you have to pay? Or how unreasonable some
customers are? Or how little you have left over at the end of each month? Or
how deeply in debt you are?

When we say, “What you put your attention on grows stronger in your life,” we
don’t mean that putting attention in some generalized, fuzzy, nonspecific way
will make the things you want appear in your life. We mean what you give
attention to, every moment of every day, day in and day out, determines what
is created in your life.

Check over these five scores again. What would you have scored them at a
year ago. Are they lower? Higher? The same? We have the power to redesign
our life to score higher in all our passions. Imagine where you would want
these scores to be a year from now. In the coming steps of this microdegree
we’re going to see how to make that happen.

4. Create your Markers
How do you increase the scores for each of your top 5 passions? By knowing
what your life would look like and feel like when you were living each passion
at a 10 out of 10.

Your markers are your personal indicators of what you will be doing or have
achieved when each passion is at a 10 out of 10. For example: If one of your pas-
sions was:

I am a world renowned concert pianist

Your markers might be:

∙ I have performed for heads of state all over the world

∙ I have performed with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra
∙ I earn over $1 million a year from my performances
Or if one of your passions was:

I am living in the moment and trusting my intuition

Your markers might be:

∙ I am fully present with each person I meet and with whom I spend time
∙ I experience every day as perfect, and the days seem to flow effortlessly
∙ I have a clear internal sense about what action is best for me at every
moment

Others remark on my confidence and how wonderful it is to be around me

Markers give you clarity. When you write out your passions in a way that excites
you, when your markers are lofty but achievable, when your vision is aligned
with your heart’s deepest purpose, then these things will draw you naturally to
them. When you feel down, you’ll be drawn to reviewing them because they
will pick you up again.

Now it’s your turn. Right four markers for each of your Top 5 passions. What will
you be having, doing or being when each passion is at a 10 out of 10?

5. The Passion Formula

It often happens that people think that they are on the road to success and
hold on tightly, trying to control the outcome of their journey. This is exactly
what will break their flow.

The real miracle happens, once you let go of the outcome that you are trying
to achieve. Set an intention and give attention to the intention that you have
set. We call it intention because it is what you intend to do - it may differ from
the real outcome. And often the outcome is much better than we could have
possibly imagined. That is why we say that ‘no tension’ is absolutely. necessary
in order to stay in flow.
