25. Find your inner Einstein
The next time you see a picture of Albert Einstein,
realize that that’s actually you. See Albert Einstein and
say, “there I am.”
Every human has the capacity for some form of ge-
nius. 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.
This is a difficult recommendation for adults to fol-
low, though, because adults have become accustomed
to using their imaginations for only one thing: worry-
ing. Adults visualize worst-case scenarios all day long.
All their energy for visualization is channeled into col-
orful pictures of what they dread.
What they don’t comprehend is that worry is a mis-
use of the imagination. The human imagination was de-
signed for better things. People who use their imagina-
tions to create with often achieve things that worriers
never dream of achieving, even if the worriers possess
much higher IQs. People who habitually access their
imaginations are often hailed by their colleagues as “ge-
niuses”—as if “genius” was a genetic characteristic. They
would be better understood as people who are practiced
ataccessing 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.
