How to find Einstein inside you

 Every human has the capacity for some form of genius. You don’t have to be good with math or physics to experience genius level in your thinking. To experience Einstein’s creative level of thinking, all you have to do is habitually use your imagination.

The next time you see a picture of Albert Einstein, realize that that’s actually you. See Albert Einstein and say, “there I am.”

This is a difficult recommendation for adults to follow, though, because adults have become accustomed to using their imaginations for only one thing: worrying.

Adults visualize worst-case scenarios all day long. All their energy for visualization is channeled into colorful pictures of what they dread.

What they don’t comprehend is that worry is a misuse of the imagination. The human imagination was designed for better things.

People who use their imaginations to create with often achieve things that worriers never dream of achieving, even if the worriers possess much higher IQs.

Einstein used to say, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” When I first heard he’d said that, I didn’t know what he meant. I always thought additional knowledge was the answer to every difficult problem.

People who habitually access their imaginations are often hailed by their colleagues as “geniuses” as if “genius” was a genetic characteristic. They would be better understood as people who are practiced at accessing their genius.

Recognition of the power of this genius in all of us prompted Napoleon to say, “Imagination rules the world.”

As a child, you instinctively used your imagination as it was intended. You daydreamed and made stuff up. You were a daydream believer by day and in your right brain at night you sailed down a river of dreams.

If you go back into that state of self-confidence and dream again, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how many innovative and immediate solutions you come up with to your problems.

And once I’d learned that skill, the first task was to begin imagining the vision of who I wanted to be.

To make ourselves come true we need to develop the strength to dream. Dreaming, in its proactive sense, is strong work. It’s the design stage of creating the future.

It takes confidence and it takes courage. But the greatest thing about active dreaming is not in the eventual reaching of the goal the greatest thing is what it does to the dreamer.

Forget the literal attainment of your dream for now. Focus on just going for it. By simply going for the dream, you make yourself come true.

Here are Einstein most inspirational quotes to supercharge your creativity.

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

"The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
