Everyone Can Become A Genius
You’ve probably been through a time in life when you felt lost because you did not know what you wanted to indulge in, or because you did not think you were good enough to do so. Maybe pressure from society, your family or even yourself made it difficult for you to find yourself. But I’m sure there’s something you’re passionate about, and that you might even be a genius without knowing it.
Geniuses such as Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking felt lost when they were in school. Their lack of interest led them to feel failed and misunderstood. Later, they all discovered that they had something to contribute to the rest of humanity, from the light bulb to the theory of relativity.
Maybe we can not all think as big as they did, but we have all guaranteed something they feel passion for, which is in their bone marrow. It’s just about searching for it, giving most of yourself and finding it, even if it takes a little longer than what can be considered “normal”.
If you sometimes feel out of place at work, in your profession or even in the classroom, there is no reason to think that you are not worth enough. It may just be that this is not for you. Do not lose hope and keep searching for what really makes you complete – what makes you a genius.
Being good at something does not mean that you stop trying. Taking what you do best for granted can actually stop your progress. Remember that there is no better fuel for motivation than to feel that you are good at something, but also to be aware that you have plenty of room for improvement.
The rewards for perseverance and effort are actually much greater and the effects much more lasting than those that come from doing something that was easy to do. Maybe this is what we should do: enjoy the journey more than the goal.
When you play the guitar, for example, the result is quite satisfying because you feel rewarded for the years of effort, the hardening of the fingers and the headaches that led to you now being able to play the right notes at the right time. When you find passion, it is therefore best to take advantage of it and give the best of yourself. With creativity, it can become your way of life.
As Confucius said, “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a single day in your life.” If you are aware of this, you will realize that work is not something negative, especially not if you can evoke the genius that lives within you. Enjoying the opportunities you are looking for is one of the keys to success. It is not enough to be happy with the result.
Looking at your job negatively usually means that you lack one of these factors. There is no reason to punish yourself, let alone to underestimate your worth. Change your perspective and enjoy what you are passionate about, because that is what will make you happy.
If you feel like you still have not found a comfortable place in life, do not be afraid. Change what makes you see yourself negatively and take the steps you need. You will find happiness if that is what you are looking for, and you will discover your inner genius just by taking risks.
