"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."- Arthur Schopenhauer
The above quote well defines what a Genius is all about.
It can be related to the fact that every individual is born with one exceptional ability that no one else in the planet can be as good as that individual.
Finding out what's that Unique ABILITY and relying on it with an utmost passion for excellence, makes all the difference from 'Normality' and 'Genius'.
Most importantly, if you are really committed to becoming a genius in life; the first thing you should deeply think about is what you truly want out of your life?..
If you don't have any specific goal or a plan of action in life, you're not truly living, but just drifting through life reaching nowhere!
As the greatest bodybuilder and the movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger says:
"You can have the best Ship or the best Plane in the world, but if you don't have any specific goal about where you want to go, and when you want to get there...You just drift around and you'll never get anywhere!"
So it is very important to have something to look forward to, rather than just going through the motions of daily activities for survival.
Every one of us have that unique ability to perform like genius.
It is upto us to bring it out and show its magnificence to the world!
Being aware of this fundamental understanding, you can start focusing on one particular area that makes you truly happy.
Whether it is: Singing, Dancing, Painting, Acting,Traveling, Business, Modeling, Designing, Photography, Blogging, Athletics
or whatever Professional career it may be...It must be something you LOVE in such a way that even working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week should not feel like work at all. It must feel like FUN!
As a result of years of research and by interviewing people who accolades as Genius in different areas of life, proves that whatever you passionately practice well over '10,000 hours' can give you a genius level ability in doing that particular task.
Ultimately 50% of your success in becoming a genius is determined by what you DECIDE to FOCUS on.. throughout your life, and the rest 50% is determined by your 'RESPONSE' to different unexpected happenings in your life!
So make sure you do not go wrong here. Put all your effort in determining what truly makes you happy. One cardinal step here is to know whether your passion/skill/talent can solve people's problems or entertain them in some ways.
Whatever you focus on, MUST always be helpful or entertaining to peoples (your target audience). If not, re-think and choose your path wisely. Because being a genius at something that lacks people's interest is useless. It is similar like working hard for several years in writing a book and finally realizing that nobody is interested in reading it! So don't be a victim of such kind of regrets.
Now Focus on that one particular skill or area long enough with a never-ending commitment to daily improvement.
Accompanied with a strong passion for excellence, within 3 to 5 years, you will be performing at a level of confidence and insight such that people will call you - 'a Genius!'
Remember this Formula for Genius (Reference: Greatness Guide)
FOCUS + DAILY IMPROVEMENT + TIME = GENIUS!
Know what you can excel at, discover your hidden talents
and then work like crazy to master them.
Self awareness is the key to becoming a genius. You should know what you're really good at and then reflect on those abilities that others admire in you.
Think about those unique capabilities that just come out easily and effortlessly from you. Those are guiding lights showing you where you can really excel at, like a superstar.
It is easy to get discouraged thinking that the process of becoming a genius would take few years! But remember, time will pass by any way. So why not start today. A few years from now, people will be writing about you.They will be asking for your autograph and celebrating your magnificence!
If you've already started your journey to genius, wishing you all the success! If not, Start your journey to Genius today and enjoy the process of who you become in pursuit of it!
