Each of us carries a hidden genius within our brain, and by awakening it we can discover new confidence, creativity, and purpose for solving life’s challenges.
Do you realize that everything in our human world, from the technology we use daily to the art that inspires us, came into the world through the human brain? The human brain is truly our most precious gift. Through it, we will create the world of tomorrow, and it is only through the brain that we will find the answer to all the problems we face. As I see it, every baby born is a potential genius because of this powerful gift we have been given.
However, very few people realize their true genius. Most people think geniuses are incredibly rare, and they rarely believe that they themselves have such potential. I believe that all humans are geniuses because they have the power of imagination, which gives them the power to create and the true essence of genius.
We do not need to have special talent to use this power of your brain, either. In fact, we use your creative powers all the time, such as when we daydream about our ideal vacation or when we plan how we will spend our evening after work. All these creations start with a spark of imagination that you turn into reality. And, while these examples are rather mundane, you can use your genius for much greater creations if you choose. You can use your genius to improve your life and solve the most difficult problems you face. In fact, you can even change the world and help solve its many problems if you choose.
Here are a few tips for realizing our hidden genius:
1) Believe in your brain. Believing in the power of the brain is the critical first step in realizing our full potential. Perhaps because of how we are raised and educated, most people view their potential in rather limited ways. If we are not the ones who receive awards, gain fame, or reach the top of our professions, we tend to think of ourselves as having limited potential for creativity and problem-solving. This is unfortunate because it wastes the brain potential of millions of people who could be contributing to a better world. We must believe in the power of our brains before we can fully access it, so we can keep telling ourselves, “My brain holds the key to my limitless potential.”
2) Develop self-confidence through goal achievement. To overcome any self-doubt that we have about our potential, we can set some achievable goals for ourselves and dedicate ourselves to achieving them. Begin with something small we know we can do every day, and then do it. The important thing is to make goal achievement a regular habit; otherwise, we will undermine our self-confidence. Establishing a goal achievement habit literally embeds a success mindset into the structure of our brains as it forms new neural pathways and connections that support the positive habit. I recommend beginning with a physical fitness goal so we can really see the changes it makes in our bodies. As I often say, “Making a miracle body makes a miracle brain!” In particular, I recommend doing pull-ups. Often, people can’t even do one when they start, but over time, they improve greatly, gaining the ability to do one complete pull-up, then a few, and many more by the end of a year. If we dedicate ourselves to this sort of goal, we will be amazed by how quickly we gain strength of both body and mind.
3) See the world beyond the surface level. Having confidence in our brains and reaching our full potential also requires seeing reality beyond the surface of things, which is what I call “the zero point.” This reality is the dimension beyond the illusions of the material world to the world of pure cosmic energy. If we can begin to feel and understand energy, we will understand the importance of the soul’s defining purpose in this life, the purpose that will manifest through the brain’s unique genius. Holding this realization in our hearts will help us work past any obstacles that the physical world presents because we will know our true value and the ultimate value of our contributions to this world.
4) Visualize yourself as a saint. The saints presented in the world religions often have amazing abilities to perform miracles, such as healing the sick or feeding the hungry. All of us can see ourselves the same way. Because we have souls and thus a spiritual purpose for our lives, our brains are here for us to accomplish miracles and to live our lives like saints. By this, I do not mean adherence to any particular code of conduct or belief system. Rather, I mean that we can offer solutions to the world’s problems and create a new and better world for humanity. Ultimately, this purpose is our souls’ fulfillment, the real reason we were born into this life. By visualizing ourselves as saints, we are committing ourselves to the highest possible version of ourselves and the healing of all humanity.
5) View every challenge as an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. Persistence in the completion of all goals is critically important. If we give up in the face of hardship, we will undermine our chances of reaching our full potential. So, since obstacles are inevitable, we can visualize ourselves overcoming these obstacles and becoming stronger and better because of our determination. Although these difficult times are very uncomfortable, and the temptation to quit can be strong, we needn’t forget that these are the moments that are the greatest blessing because they are the ones that help us grow to our highest possible potential.
At this time in human history, it is more important than ever for people to realize their brains’ full potential and use their inner genius. We have entered a whole new globalized world of connection between diverse cultures, and we are facing difficult political and environmental problems. We won’t be able to overcome any of these difficulties using the same perceptions and mindsets that we’ve used in the past. We need a world of people who are willing to rise to their highest selves and work to make a better world for everyone. So, our time to become a saintly genius has arrived. All we have to do is use our brains.
