What Makes
Someone A Genius?
Hundreds of intellectual heavy weights have
existed throughout the ages and each one can reveal unique and
spectacular insights into what it is that created their
brilliance.
However, the quest to determine what
has made these people such geniuses has revealed many
controversial findings. One finding is that having a high
IQ is not the only thing that makes you a
genius. For example, the modern writer Marilyn Savant has
been measured to possess an IQ of 220, yet she has achieved
little academic or "genius-like" acclaim. On the other hand,
Nobel Prize winners who are geniuses in their own
right can have IQ's as far down as 115-120. The aim
of this article therefore, is to educate the reader
that there are additional factors to consider apart
from IQ, which separates the high or low IQ person from
the status of "genius". These factors are discussed
below:
1. The
superior mindset thinks
creatively.
In other words, there is an
emphasis on following intuition above all else which is
created through connecting the mind to its subconscious
foundation. The intuition is the subconscious
thoughts talking, and therefore we bypass the biases existing
in conscious thought which is limited in its analysis. Whereas
the subconscious can consider all perspectives out together
and at the same time, the conscious can only follow one line
of thinking and consider limited data. The superior mindset in
embracing creativity through intuition in the
subconscious therefore allows the creativity and
brainpower to increase exponentially.
2. Multiple perspectives
and possibilities are
considered.
Multiple perspectives
means that the superior mindset can consider and understand
other people's views, without such views even needing to
be expressed. This can happen when your mind
is characterised by open-mindedness and showing a
genuine interest in other people's ideas without critical
judgement. In turn, it allows a connection to the
subconscious mind to be made, because it is open minded and
non judgemental itself. In other words, mimicking the
subconscious consciously is connecting with it.
3. Masters are always learning and
improving.
Here is a secret which
almost nobody truly understands: Whatever you do, there is
always a better way of doing it. The reason
is there is always more to learn in our lives, and more that
we can improve on. Masters realise this, so they are always
improving themselves and making adjustments on a daily basis.
That way, they can move closer towards achieving the perfect
mindset.
4. The inner
voice has more weight than other people's
opinions.
This is because your inner
voice is a natural device which is connected to the natural
greatness within you, found deep
inside your subconscious and unconscious minds. The
majority of other people's opinions are unnatural, in that
they are perspectival and biased.
5. The thoughts of a genius are visible to
the world.
In other words, they will
practically apply their thoughts and put them into action,
either through writing, invention, achievement
etc
6. There is
extreme productivity.
This is achieved
by setting extremely tight deadlines, being focused and
knowing what you have to do to achieve your goals. This is
always being improved upon, because new lessons are always
being learned.
7. There is an emphasis
to give.
In other words, there is
an attempt to create something new and give it to the
world. The power of this lies in the fact that
"giving is receiving" is a law of energy. A
proper vision is therefore not to take and receive for
personal fame and fortune. We should give, because we already
have the feeling having everything
already.
8. They can clarify their thinking by
taking on a metaphorical perspective.
For example, using everyday
occurrences, situations and objects as metaphors for complex
theories and problems, allows a unique perspective for new
ideas to be created.
9. They detach from their outcomes
and live in the present
moment.
When we live in the moment, the
subconscious mind takes over. When this happens,
whatever beliefs the subconscious has is what is
going to manifest. The master therefore takes the steps
to perfect their beliefs so that the subconscious can make
them true and express it when we are in the
moment.
10. Failure
does not exist in their world.
When
one idea or project fails they simply move on to the next
one, because a failure is simply a lesson learned. The more
lessons that are learned, the closer we move towards having
the right mindset and attitude to make our dreams a
reality.
11. Genii
understand that it is not what they do, but how they do it
that makes them what they are.
We never
achieve anything in life by simply working hard or pushing
ourselves towards our goal. We achieve only when we
realise that we already have the goal. We simply need to
allow it to come to fruition, through the correct
way which complements our own
nature.
12. Genii have a
set goal which they focus their whole lives towards, until
completion.
We cannot have two focuses
in our life. We need to dedicate our resources solely to our
goal, until it fully manifests. The more energy we can supply
towards our goal, the greater will be the corresponding
success and insight which we gain towards it.
What To Expect
When we
master the principles and skill-sets described above, our
life will become the fantasy and envy of others. We will
become successful beyond our wildest dreams, and
progress towards our goals will become effortless. We should
therefore take the steps to learn these lessons
effectively, so we can achieve our dreams.
