The Genius in Yourself

Who says being creative or being a genius is inborn? Sometimes being one is considered a deficiency when we use this kind of mind power as an advantage towards others who do not match our strength of thinking. Well, being creative and being a genius is not natural, it’s not on the genes, it’s in us, in our own selves.

If you think you’re that bright, please read this, you might want to discover more of your brain’s capacity. If you think you’re that dumb and less than the denominator of the grades you had wanted and ever longed for, I say that you’re not what you think you are. You just have t to endorse yourself to a positive view, to a brighter side where you can conquer your weaknesses and let go of the real genius in you. Here’s how:

1.)Let it flow.

Creativity does not necessarily require an act of will or sweat on the brow. It’s about getting beyond logic for want of a better world; it’s being available to our intuition.

2.)Be Spontaneous.

Creativity asks us to change the way we live our lives, to turn away from the “normal” way of doing things and express our individuality.

3.)Start something…anything.

Begin toying things. Where does someone start if she never considered herself creative? Ability or intelligence doesn’t limit people’s creativity. If you want to be more creative, you have to take more risks. That’s what inhibits most people.

4.)Get out of the box.

The simplest way to kindle or creative fire is to take everyday tasks and make them more exciting or meaningful. Look for alternatives. Get curious.

5.)Make the time.

Any time spent on creative ventures is time well spent.

6.)Be prepared for change.

It’s possible, maybe even likely that your genius won’t take you to fame or fortune. But it might be life altering, leading you to make big changes in your work, your social circle and other pursuits.

Being a genius takes you to being creative and vice versa. It brings out the bests in one person. It enriches free time, reduces stress and brings better mental and physical health. Creativity can even make a person smarter. Creative expression gives our brains a workout, activating new circuits in our grey matter.

It demands but one thing of those who reach for its gifts: courage – the courage to be childlike in attempting new things, shrugging off routine and trying something we’re not really good at.
