Finding Your Inner Genius and Einstein’s Philosophy...Search For the Thing That Gives Meaning to Your Life...
Hi Steemians!
It can be proven with simple math and science that everybody’s existence is in one way or another purposeful. It is only on us to find that purpose and inner light.
Albert Einstein, one of the greatest thinkers of our time, believed that everybody is a genius. Everybody’s existence is bound by a purpose and everybody’s life is blessed with a talent.
There is an inner flame in each and every one of us. From the ashes of a broken man, a fire lights brighter than that of the sun. If you do not see that flame, it only goes to prove that you have not yet found it, or have mistaken it for something else.
Einstein is quoted as saying:
“Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
Everyone is inherently inclined towards a certain area of expertise in life. To think that you are useless or the strain of your livelihood is meaningless is falling into the same trap of deceit and illusory thought that gives birth to all our fears and doubts.
Do not see yourself as the reflection of the mirror of the people around you. Everyone is unique. Everyone has a set of particular talents. To think that you have to achieve the thing that they achieve or be able to do the things that they do is as ludicrous as it is impractical. In this manner, losing your self-confidence is merely a mental mistake and something that society is predisposed to believe in.
Search for the thing that gives meaning to your life. Search for the thing that you are really good at it. Do things not because other people do it, but because you want to do it. As Matthew McConaughey once said, “Who you are not is just as important as who you are.”
Try to realize who you are not. You are not them. You are you. And you are unique. And that is everything that you need to live a life of purpose and meaning, a life of satisfaction and desire.
Talent and prowess are arbitrary and innate. It is a proven scientific fact that we are all unique beings in this cosmos. Have faith in yourself, for if you do not, who will? If you cannot trust this, trust the voice of reason that comes from the brightest people who have ever graced the face of this Earth;
“Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.” – Kallam Anji Reddy
“His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings.
At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.” – Ernest Hemingway A BIG HUG!
“Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.” – George Lucas
We all are blessed with some kind of talent usually. The one who recognizes and polishes it, goes ahead.
Thx!

This is a great quote, one that should welcome people in every school and institution. Most of the self-esteem issues adults have are the result of not having internalized this mantra. Individual differences should be respected and encouraged. Unfortunately, societies tend to contradict themselves a lot demanding individuality while promoting homogeneity.
It's like the "feminist" artists who participate in sexploitation musical video clips. The average youth consumes that product, imitate the “artists” in them and then complain because they are objectified and wonder why their lives do not seem to have any meaning or consequence.
Kids can be very cruel with those who can't dance or sing well; or those who are really bad with technology and are out of touch with show business and all that crap. Their criticism can make anyone feel inept or inadequate.
Steemit is a platform that can help people develop their talents if they can find their niche. It does not make any sense, especially here with so many contest and challenges, to compete with writers/poets when we are not writers/poets and then be hard on ourselves.
Some people are good at writing, others at talking, others at playing video games or drawing. I think this is the perfect place to thrive in whatever talent we may have if we do it without complexes or anxiety.
That's right, my friend, I totally agree with you. You have been one of the best here in this blog with very significant comments and a positivism that I like a lot and I'm sure for everyone else here. As you yourself have said, we have to engage in certain niches that we have more empathy and that is why you may realize that I have never attacked someone who writes on this blog with attacks or disrespecting someone. When this happens, I ignore it or give it back with a rose and sometimes I wonder: why a person writes something negative in a blog that already has more than 200 posts written only as positive messages and sharing experiences between people with A positive mentality?
Why do not these people go looking for their negative niche if they are like that, instead of going into the positive yard and trying to plant the seed of negativity?
If these people actually read and see what happened in the last two months in this community where I gave my best, they may not have acted the way they did.
I think we, who are trying to build this positive community, should be attentive to these people who sometimes try to plant these words of negativity and respond to them to seek their place.
We are here to respect and have high level dialogues and as I always say: Respect must always be above all else!
I do not know what would be the expression in English that best translated what I usually say in my native language that is: Each one in his square! LOL Regards
Nicely put. Your native language, is portuguese, right?
in Venezuela we say, zapatero a su zapato :)
I have been tempted to respond to some of those haters who are always pooping parties, but that puts me in a tense vibra. I hate that sensation. I have had very nasty exchanges with racists, religious biggots, pro weapons and even though I always conduct myelf with civility appealing to reason and argumentation, it feels terribly when you hit walls of intolerance and arrogance.
Ignoring them sometimes is the best policy.
yeahh i agree. why would people ruining positive atmosphere by comment negative comment, while he or she can choose to make good comment and supporting and building other in positive way

Saludos gente, en función a lo planteado, será posible ver la situaciones negativas como momentos de aprendizaje, en los cuales debemos de poner atención a las señales que se nos quiere transmitir. Según lo planteado en esta publicación, de eso se trata la vida! en este sentido lo que se debe es celebrar de alguna manera los malos momentos, aceptarlos con madurez, tomar lo que se deba de tomar y seguir adelante, sin ver para atrás. Estaré atento a sus valorados comentarios.
Nothing in this universe is free, behind all things and people there is a reason, and everyone has to find theirs. Although this is not very easy to do, it is a long journey to travel, an adventure to undertake, but it is worth doing, especially if we do not want to wander through life.
who say to become success is easy . if it was easy , all people in the world will become successful . He who seek it is only person who deserve it

Great words Juan! Regards
I agree with Einstein. Immediately apologize for my English. English is bad for me. Therefore, not everyone can understand me! )) only the most elected. hahaha
I agree that there is a genius in each of us. Just not everyone wants to show it. Or some just lazy. Here, for example, artists!
So.
There is no inspiration. It is not true. In my opinion, spiritual strength and creative growth are the usual components of a person who loves his work / hobby. And the time when you are tired, lazy or reworked is everyone.
Those famous artists (and other popular creative characters) whom we know for years have been painting their paintings not because there was no inspiration and they waited for the muse.
Many who abused alcohol and other drugs. And in general, they were quite good parasites.
In such a state, a muse can come to them, of course.
for example
Picasso. He drank a lot and used drugs.
My favorite - Salvador Dali smoked opium.
Van Gogh. Treated alcohol addiction in a psychiatric clinic.
Modigliani. Opium and hashish.
Pyatnitsky. He drank a lot and died of heroin overdose.
Savrasov. He died of delirium tremens in a hospital for the poor.
For example, Stephen King, was an alcoholic and did not even remember how he wrote many of his novels.
Yes, and many of these, we study them in school.
Also, the list of suicides against the background of bad habits is huge.
Yesenin (drank a lot, hanged himself),
Mayakovsky (did not drink, but drank heroin and shot himself), Tsvetaeva (hanged herself against the background of alcohol intoxication),
Jack London (poisoned himself with morphine).
Taken from the biography
Therefore, I create with and without “inspiration”. After all, in the end I love my job and the appetite comes with eating.
Hi @daio, first of all do not worry about your English, we all understand what you wrote. I'm glad you've come to this blog and this is your first extensive commentary and with a lot of meaningful information about your idols. I just hope you do not do everything they did because I would like to see you always here with us. LOL ...
But it is exactly that, the important thing is enjoy the most of our talent that we were given at birth.
Regards and you are always welcome!
Talent is not the main thing. Of course, there are born artists who, from childhood, have already painted well. But this is one person in a million. In fact, creativity is hard work. Most people simply have little talent, they also need certain qualities: desire, motivation and practice. Perhaps it's not talent. People present talent as an easy way - drawing means, for example, a person is given easily. He paints beautifully - it means he is necessarily talented. No, no and NO! Therefore, when something like to do or it turns out great - it is not necessarily a talent, a genetic predisposition or something given by fate. This is the work of man himself and his desire.
there is a quote about talent , the only things that can fight talent is hardwor

En algunos casos el entorno puede afectar el desenvolvimiento de una persona, sumando o restando talento del individuo. Ahora bien para el entorno esto puede ser una situación subjetiva, en este sentido y de manera de plantear un formula practica, como la persona puede dejar de valorar lo subjetivo del entorno para enfocarse en lo objetivo de su personalidad, como desarrollar su talento natural y encaminarse al desarrollo personal sin morir en el intento? Estaré atento a sus apreciados y valorados comentarios
i remember a quote about lazy. 😂😂 there is no ugly people , there is only lazy people 😂😂😂

A very important and useful post it is because in today's world everyone wants to follow others in the way which give success to those other people which actually might not be the way of success for those who are following. It means a great sense that we are here on the universe for something to be meant meaningful so we should use our brain machine and live our life according to our talents that we have.
A very positive post,it's a 10/10 from my side.
Well said. :)
Thank you brother!
Exactly friend!
Thank you for your kind response! We should believe in ourselves that's what I wanted to say.
In life, people will always have something to say about you; in fact if they have nothing to say, then you probably don't exist. But what you make of the comment, side talks and criticism matters. It's just like the story of a cow who fell into a ditch and couldn't climb out neither could it be drawn out by its owner. So the owner and neighbours resolved to bury the cow by pouring sand into the ditch. But what did the cow do... He simply shook off the sand and stepped on it. Though it took a long time, the level of the sand was such that the cow could successfully climb out of the ditch!
The question is what do we do with the things people say about us.. Do we shake them off and step on them to get higher and better or we resolve to be buried along with our God-given talent and destiny?... What we do matters a whole lot.
Very inspiring and thought provoking post sir. Keep it up.
Great story. Great lesson. What does not kill us should make us stronger.
great story

Hi friend, to be direct and clear, in my experience we just have to take advantage of what we have the best and worry about who cares about us. Tell me: Why make a lot of effort just to show your neighbor that he does not like you? Regards
This is profound and simple thinking, at the same time. I don't how you managed to combine philosophy with simplicity, but you did it in an excellent way!
I believe that our inner creativity is the best route to follow, in order to benefit ourselves and others.
I totally agree. :)
Thank you for your words! Regards
God has given each of us different talents or gifts ... this is what makes the world ... be world ... I have always said it ... if we were all equal, we thought the same and had the same talents, we were not a world, there would be no variety, there would be no discoveries, because everyone would do the same ... We must exploit our talent, our gift, which is very different from the person next to you, never compare yourself with others because maybe there is something that is difficult for you and for others it is easy ... but in that way there are things that are easy for you and difficult for others ...
Good see you and always contribute with your great comments! Regards
Don't make your self a photocopy of another's personality. Frustration and envy come from comparing ourselves with other people.
This is related to the multiple intelligence philosophy of education. We need to help people to discover their talent and purpose in life, not just push down to their throat our own ambition for them.

Well said 👍👍👍
Exactly Friend!
Also interesting to see how life changes once you find that purpose as I did when my child was born. All perspectives of life changed immediately to shift to things that were less material and more emotional. It demonstrated the humanness in me and impacted the way I approached daily decision both personally and professionally.
Great words @newageinv. Regards
