Tests Suck

Man, I really hate tests. They ask things that weren't even in the book and ask questions in ways that make zero sense. Especially those definitions that state exactly what the word means so you select true and it was false... how does that happen? These tests were created by idiots.I'm taking intro to business at the moment.  They asked a question about Gap's form of competition of casual clothing in the marketplace. I thought about it and there are an endless amount of makers in the same…See More

A New Normal

Posted on March 12, 2012 at 6:30 2 Comments

Life is so much fun lately discovering the limits of my own mind.  It's amazing what aspects of life intelligence can affect and make better when you can learn so quickly.  My aunt told me one time, "I'd rather be dumb and happy than intelligent and miserable."  I looked at her puzzled and said, "What?  I'm happier because of my intelligence."  It's given me an ability to have a deeper understanding of life and people, and as a result made me drastically more…

If Only...

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 2:00 15 Comments

If only there was some sort of manual for gifted living and on how to make the right decisions.  Lately, as I focus so much on building my career, I feel as if I've become far less intellectual than I used to be. Since we as a gifted population, sometimes tend to associate the intellectual interests as the only source of mental stimulation, it has me feeling slightly less gifted.  

By the time I've finished working and then clock out to obsess over my music career, the last thing I…

About MGL

MyGiftedLife.org is not a high-IQ society or corporate entity.  MGL is not a business, nor is it a formal charity.  We do not currently operate on any grants or fund-raising.  Our mission is to provide a place where people can provide fellowship, encouragement and information to each other when needed. 

MGL is for gifted persons and those involved in their lives, including parents, families and friends.  Educators, psychologists and other professionals are welcome, as are others who may simply want information about giftedness.

Mygiftedlife is a safe haven. It's a place where anyone who experiences life from a gifted perspective can share their unique selves and weave a common thread going beyond the tapestry of any usual forum to one based upon expanding awareness of experiences, self, others and the world we live in. Mygiftedlife is a place for delving deeper. I've come here and been understood when that seemed impossible. Gifted people and those advocating for gifted children navigate societal structures that present a great challenge. Support can be hard to find, but here it is.
