How to Transform Your Self Image and Think Like a Genius! Part 1

 This is a very stimulating article we would like to share with our readers today. It should bring out a 'spark' in you. Looking forward to your responses. Enjoy!


 Knowing that you are a genius is one of the fundamental things that allows you to think like one.

I don't know about you but I didn't get told I was a genius when I was a child. (Boo-hoo, I was robbed of my brilliance!) You see it is now quite clear that every healthy human brain is capable of genius - that means You and me!.

Studies show self-image affects performance
They've studied the affect of self-image on intelligence, in education experiments. The teacher comes into class and explains to the children that a new scientific study has shown that blue-eyed children are far smarter than children with brown or green eyes. Immediately the blue-eyed children in the class start to outperform their peers in all aspects of school studies. The effects are dramatic!

Two months later the teacher calls the class for a special meeting and gravely tells them she made a mistake. She apologizes to the children and tells them that the experiment actually proved that the brown-eyed children were the most intelligent.

The blue-eyed children's self-image tumbles and they suddenly start under performing again. Meanwhile the brown-eyed children's grades soar to the A+ range! And the reason? When you believe you are smart, you act smart. When you think you are a creative genius, you think and act like a creative genius. Each of us lives up or lives down to the self-image we have accepted for ourselves.

(Before we move on, let me just clarify that eye colour has nothing to do with intelligence!)

As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is...
The great 20th Century success philosopher, Earl Nightingale, spent 20 years studying the texts of the world's great religions and philosophies. His moment of enlightenment came when he realized that all of them boiled down to one statement: We become what we think about.

If you think you are stupid, guess what? You will be stupid. You'll do dumb things. You'll act clumsily and present a clueless image to the world.

On the other hand, if you think you are smart, if you think you a valuable intelligent person, then that is exactly what you will be.
