Think Like A Genius

Geniuses usually think all over the place. Their minds seem very chaotic to the average person, yet to them there is a certain sense of order and calm amongst the storm.

This is a picture of Einstein’s office where he used to work. As you can see… you cannot see much other than chaos.

To Einstein this was organized in a certain way, but there is more to that than just the chaos we see; there is a method to the madness behind the scenes.

The reason geniuses are often so chaotic is because:

  1. They do not have the time to spend on organizing their stuff.
  2. They are too excited about their work to spend any energy on organizing.
  3. They excitedly jump from one task to the next and end up all over the place in their notes, research, books and activities.

The lessons that stand out here, that are a sign for professional genius are as follows:

  • Being so excited for your work that you do not have time for anything else.
  • Spending so much time working on your purpose that everything else falls away.
  • Chasing your joy/passion more than your reason.

What most people don’t realize is that these three points form a self-propelling vortex!
