Want To Release Your Inner Genius?

Wanna boost your brain power and become the smartest person in the room? Here’s how to release your inner genius, according to Oprah Winfrey and Albert Einstein. This intelligence is from Woman’s World magazine:

Let your imagination run wild! Albert Einstein was certainly one of the smartest men who ever lived, but he claimed he wasn’t brilliant because of his IQ. He believed he was smart because of his ability to free his imagination – so he could consider infinite possibilities. He was quoted as saying: “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” So, channel your inner Einstein by retraining your brain to think creatively. Try “streamwriting.” Basically, writing down everything that comes to mind, without stopping to think or to edit yourself. Start by posing a problem on paper as specifically as you can. Like, “How can I earn an extra $1,000 this month?” Then just start writing. When you run out of ideas, write “I’m stuck,” but don’t stop thinking! When you keep throwing out ideas, you never know what brilliant concepts or solutions you might come up with.

Now that we’ve covered Einstein – what’s Oprah’s take on releasing your inner genius? Ask for help! Oprah doesn’t credit herself for her monumental success. She credits the people who helped her along the way. Why? Because she believes that the key to success is having someone show you the way.

Oprah’s right, according to John D. Krumboltz, coauthor of Luck is No Accident. Since other people have had experiences you haven’t, they may be in a position to help you make wiser decisions, introduce you to someone who can help, or simply push your thoughts in a different direction. So, don’t be afraid to ask for help when you can’t figure something out. It could be the smartest thing you ever did!
