There was only ONE wish that Tim* (not his real name) had for Christmas 2018: A professional set of cooking pans. First, his parents didn't believe him; it was simply way too much 'out of the box' for them. But then they agreed to support him and Tim* prepared a delicious lasagna for the family on Christmas day.

For his 10th birthday last week he got a professional pasta machine to create different kinds of Italian pasta from scratch. You see, he aims for top quality without compromising! He had a bright smile in his face when he delivered spaghetti primavera al dente the very next day!

Inspired by cooking shows on TV, he taught himself to create these and many more meals and his parents were smart enough to support him without questions.

Tim* is very bright and sensitive and complained about being bored out of his mind at school as well as feeling annoyed about many other kids in his class. I encouraged him and his parents to think about things outside of school he loves to do and might be good at.

We identified tennis, cello and cooking as passions he never had considered before. Sure enough, in all 3 areas he showed deep interest, rapid learning and remarkable success within a few short weeks.

His confidence took a quantum leap and many new friends adore him now for his creative ideas.

Of course he started dreaming about a career as an international chef and feels ready to learn French very soon.

Genius can be magnetic, miraculous, deeply satisfying and highly energizing - every day!

What is yours?
