I think so. It's easier to see from the outside in, than from the inside out sometimes. They can't see their genius in me, because as you say, we all possess distinct genius - maybe some in common - but generally, I won't have theirs. However, I can be a mirror for them, to see their own genius. To watch their recognition - their "aha" moment is joyful. They need faith - in themselves - though, as well as recognition.
Yes, people can know us (in some ways) better than we know ourselves, precisely because they see us from the outside, so excellent point. I can appreciate it, too, when others think for me sometimes, such as if my mind is elsewhere.
Agree, and there's nothing more joyful than helping someone see their own genius.
Do you think you have a knack (genius) for seeing others' genius and fortes? Or maybe encouraging it? It could be.
