The 5 Most Crucial Daily Questions for Success
The 5 Most Crucial Daily Questions for Success
This post is written as a contribution to Problogger’s current Group Writing Project. Click here to check it out, and find some amazing posts to enjoy. The number of people contributing to this is really impressive and you are sure to learn a thing or two.
This week’s topic is ‘Top 5′ lists, and I felt that there could be no better subject to write about than success.
SUCCESS. We all crave it, even if we think we don’t. We can each define it for ourselves. The beautiful thing about success is that it is a journey AND a destination…each individual choice we make can be success, and add to our success overall. We always have a new choice in the next moment, no matter what has come before.
If success - in any area - is important to you, here is my list for the most powerfully effective, personal strategy imaginable. Ask yourself (and answer - then ACT on) these five questions each day:
What is the most effective use of my time right now?
Does this activity I am about to begin, or this choice I am about to make, serve me ie. lead me closer to my chosen result, or further away?
What can I do today that I will be grateful I did when tomorrow comes?
What am I grateful for today?
If I could make one small change today - like dropping or adopting a new habit, thought or belief - that could positively affect my life in the future, what would it be?
Give yourself just a few days of asking and acting on these 5 questions, and I guarantee you will be shocked at the results as things begin to change around you…and you will be hooked on the achievement you are experiencing.
Enjoy! And many thanks to Problogger for hosting this.

How to Think Like a Genius
4 Apr, 2007 Success, Education
At this very moment, you are holding unbound potential. Youhold within your possession the most powerful learning andcreative problem-solving system known to man, far superiorto any supercomputer ever invented. It is your brain.There are 100 billion neurons in your 3-pound brain.
By its very design, the human brain stores vast potentialfor memory, learning, and creativity. However, your capacityfor learning and achievement must be unlocked. Althougheveryone holds this incredible power, the brain does notgive of its’ powers away freely.
Geniuses of this world have successfully tapped into thisunlimited power, including Einstein, Galileo, Newton, andMozart.
Within the rest of this article, we will turn to these samerevolutionary minds in order to unlock the genius that ishiding in the tapestry of our own minds.
God didn’t give us formal instruction manuals for our brain. Therefore, we must explore the power of thought on our own.Let this article be your guide.
1. The first step is to expand your consciousness as well asyour perspectives.
The genius mind will look at a problem from many differentperspectives. They are literally able to place themselvescompletely in someone else’s shoes in order to experience anew way of looking at things. By doing this, they expandtheir knowledge and consciousness of the world around them.
Look at problems from a variety of different perspectives.Most people only rely on their own perspective, andtherefore always have a very narrow view of the world.
Leonardo da Vinci believed that, to gain knowledge about theform of a problem, you must begin by learning how torestructure it in many different ways. He believed that thefirst way you look at a problem is entirely too biased. Youare only seeing the problem from one perspective: yours.
You can find new solutions to the problem by looking at itfrom a variety of different perspectives. According toEinstein, “You cannot solve a problem with the same type ofthinking that is creating it.”
Einstein insisted that the secret of his genius was hisability to look at problems in a childlike, imaginativeway.
To expand his view of the world, Einstein developed amastermind group that he called the Olympiad. This groupheld intensive discussions on topics ranging frommathematics and physics to philosophy and literature.
These forums provided the stimulus needed for higher-levelthinking and were often combine with camping trips involvinghiking, swimming, and a good dose of humor.
The genius lives at a high level of consciousness about theworld around them. They are receptive to new ideas, whichprovide them with even greater opportunity. The person whoclings to their comfort zone is living in a low level ofconsciousness. Their experiences each day are often arepetition of the previous day.
You reach a higher level of consciousness when youreach new levels of understanding, experience a majorgrowth experience, or embrace new ways of thinking.
When you were eight years old, you had a different view ofthe world than you do today. This is because you are nowliving in a higher consciousness/awareness of the worldaround you. You must constantly seek to expand yourawareness if you want to grow.
Your consciousness determines how you experience life.
To expand your awareness, you must consistently seekopportunities for growth. Look for new relationships. Expandyour knowledge. Step out of your comfort zone. Experiencelife to the fullest.
2. Once you have begun seeking your greatest aims in life,you must also persist…
The most successful people in life are the ones who are themost persistent. Interestingly, enough the most successfulpeople in life are also the ones who have experienced themost failure.
The rest are too afraid to try and therefore neverexperience success or failure.
In fact, I would argue that failure is the quickest path tosuccess. The greatest success is always preceded by a longlist of failures.
Think of Thomas Edison, who after 10,000 attempts atcreating the electric lightbulb, said, “I have not failed.I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”Failure is a prerequisite for success; embrace it as alearning experience that brings you one step closer to yourultimate goal.
To truly be great, you must not be afraid of failing.
The leaders in life don’t fear failure. Like most, youprobably learned in elementary school about theaccomplishments of Christopher Columbus. However, youprobably don’t know that the likely result of his journeywas humiliation, financial ruin, or even death. He wasmaking a journey, which most people believed would cause himto fall off the edge of the Earth.
All previous efforts to cross the Atlantic had been made bysailors who clung to the European coast in order to ensure ameans of return. Columbus, however, sailed perpendicular tothe shoreline. He was venturing into the unknown, withoutknowing what, if anything, lay ahead.
In the end, it turned out that Columbus, was, in fact, avisionary genius.
Even after six weeks at sea with no sight of land, hemaintained unwavering belief in his goal. Most people wouldhave given up at this point, but Columbus kept going. Thiswas one of the most important factors in determining hissuccess.
Most of what people refer to as failure is simply a lack ofpersistence.
How many times do we hug the coastline in our own lives,latching onto the familiar? Growth is always preceded bychange. For us to improve and grow, we must embrace changeand constantly step out of our old familiar comfort zones.When we do, we will find that we begin to live a life fullof adventure and increased opportunity.
3. The third step to thinking like a genius is to Visualize!
Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Walt Disney, NikolaTesla, and even Mozart all ascribed their creative genius totheir ability to visualize.
Einstein said that all of his most important and productivethinking was done by “combinatory play” with “images” in hismind. Einstein used images, visual patterns and associationsto discover more about the world around him.
Einstein believed that the spirit of learning and creativethought were lost in strict rote learning. Instead, heturned to his own imagination and visualization.
Visualization is an incredibly powerful tool in solvingproblems. Often times much more powerful that simply usingwords or numbers.
Visual thinking is done in the right side of the brain,presenting new problem solving and big-picture thinking.Visualization goes hand in hand with our next geniusprinciple…
4. Imagination
Einstein was well acquainted with the childlike sense ofplay, possibility, and humor. His ability to remain in achildlike state of wonder and curiosity is the essence ofhis genius.
Dr. Jacques Hadmard spent much of his life studying thethought processes of great scientists and mathematicians. Hefound that their thinking process was characterized not bywords or standard mathematical symbols, but instead byvisual imagery.
The same was true for Einstein, who said, “The words of thelanguage, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to playany role in my mechanisms of thought.”
He also wrote that his thought processes instead “rely, moreor less, on clear images of a visual and some of a musculartype.”
These few sentences give us a rare insight into one of thegreatest minds. Einstein teaches us the importance ofthinking visually.
Dr. Marian Diamond and her colleagues at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley published a paper entitled “On theBrain of a Scientist: Albert Einstein.” Their researchshowed that Einstein’s brain contained 400 percent more“glial” cells per neuron than average. They also found thathis brain was especially well developed in the area of thebrain used for association.
However, we will never know whether Einstein’s brain washighly developed as a result of his thought processes andstimulating environment or from an extraordinaryneuro-anatomical gift?
Much of our brainpower is due to the interconnection betweenbrain cells. We know now that these interconnections - glialcells, dendrites, axons, and synapses - can continue toincrease in number throughout the course of an individual’slife.
Dr. Diamond’s research suggests that combinatory play and astimulus-rich environment are two of the keys to increasingthe minds to make these internal connections within the mindfrom which genius is born.
Much of Einstein’s creativity was found in his ability tomake unfamiliar and unexpected relationships.
Einstein coined the term, “combinatory play”. Although ithad always existed, Einstein used this powerful way ofthinking in his daily thought processes.
According to Einstein, combinatory play is sifting throughdata, perceptions, and materials to come up withcombinations that are new and useful.
Einstein himself believed that you could stimulate ingeniousthought by allowing the imagination to run freely, formingassociations at will.
Einstein also performed what’s referred to as thoughtexperiments.
As a young man, Einstein imagined himself running alongsidea beam of light. He then asked himself what it would looklike. This was one of his first thought experiments.
A thought experiment is carried out in the mind. It requiresyou to ask yourself a question. You then visualize asituation and perform some kind of experimental action andsee what happens. These types of thought experiments providea method for understanding nature without performing adirect experiment on it.Try this out in your own life by asking yourself thefollowing questions:
What would happen if we found a way to use 100% of our brain potential?What our the possible solutions to world hunger?How would Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, or Newton approach this problem?What if I could hold infinity in the palm of my hand? (This has been a popular thoughtquestion among poets as well as quantum physicists.)
5. The next key, and one of the most important elements, togenius thinking is that of curiosity: the courage to askquestions.
Why do kids ask so many questions? They are naturallycurious about the world around them. They discover the worldthrough questioning others as well as themselves. In theprocess, they are creating neuro-associations that willguide their futures.
As we grow older, however, we become passive to the worldaround us. We stop asking questions, lose our much of ourcuriosity, and the learning comes to a screeching halt.
Without questions, we cannot grow.
Albert Einstein once said,
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosityhas its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be inawe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life,of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if onetries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery everyday. Never lose a holy curiosity.”
Socrates, Aristotle and Plato were some of the first greatminds to develop the importance of questions. The entireSocratic method, which is a way of teaching that dates backto the Ancient Greeks, is based upon the teacher askingnothing but questions. These questions direct the students’focus, enabling them to discover their own answers to life’squestions.
Successful people are simply those who have asked betterquestions. Instead of asking, “How will I ever get out ofdebt?” They asked themselves, “How can I learn from thisexperience?”
When computers were still taking up entire rooms, Bill Gatesasked himself, “How can I get a computer in everyhousehold?”
When the automobile first emerged on the scene, hundreds ofpeople started to build them, but Henry Ford asked, “How canI mass-produce them?”
As a young boy, Albert Einstein asked himself, “”What wouldit be like to run beside a light beam at the speed oflight?”
Plato believed that skilled questions could lead not only tothe discovery of geometry, science, and philosophy, but alsoto the realization of virtue, justice, beauty and truth.
Start to ask yourself and others empowering questions.Develop an unbound curiosity. Practice wonder.
6. You become what you think about.
Pay close attention now as we come upon the sixth principlethat leads to genius. It is the Law of Attraction, whichsays you become what you think about.
The Law of Attraction says that what you think about, youbring about. Therefore, you become what you think aboutmost. In addition, you also attract what you think aboutmost.
In other words, Thoughts Become Things.
Your life is a physical manifestation of the thoughts thatgo on in your head.
Michael Jordan focused on perfecting every aspect of hisgame. This definite desire turned his weaknesses intostrengths and made him one of the greatest leaders inbasketball.
Wrigley concentrated his mind on the production and sale ofa five-cent package of chewing gum and turned this one ideain to millions of dollars.
Edwin C. Barnes had a burning desire to go into businesswith Thomas Edison. He focused himself completely on thisdesire until it finally came to fruiting and he retired,while still a young man, with more money than he needs.
Lincoln concentrated his mind on freeing the slaves andbecame our greatest American President while doing it.Gillette concentrated on a safety razor, gave the entireworld a “close shave” and made himself a multimillionaire.
George Eastman concentrated on the Kodak and made the ideayield him a fortune while bringing much pleasure tomillions of people.
The Wright Brothers concentrated on the airplane andmastered the air.
Bill Gates concentrated on the personal computer, now a PCis found in nearly every home to help educate, entertain andenrich people’s lives.
All of these people were well adept in the Law ofAttraction.
There is evidence that the law of attraction was also usedby Einstein, Beethoven, and even Jesus. This same power isavailable to you. In fact, you are experiencing the Law ofAttraction at this very moment whether you know it or not.This is because the law of attraction is always at work.Your life experience is in line with the thoughts thatreside in your mind.
You create your own reality. What you think about, you bringabout. What you emotionalize in thought, you bring about inreality.
Recent research is in support of this law. For example,research on optimism has shown that optimists enjoy betterhealth, greater happiness, more success in life, and alonger life. The optimist focuses on success and minimizestheir failures.
Pessimists, on the other hand, experience far more disease,depression, and a shorter life span.
What you focus on with thought and feeling is what youattract into your life.
The genius exercises this same law in their everyday life.The genius expects success and puts complete faith in theirgoal. They expect more out of life and therefore, theyreceive it.
You can do the same. Expect success and persist until youhave found it.
7. The last and final step in thinking like a genius is toHave Fun!
No person has achieved massive success by doing what theyhate. Pablo Picasso once said, “When I work I relax; doingnothing or entertaining visitors makes me tired.”
In addition, Dale Carnegie said, “People rarely succeedunless they have fun in what they are doing.”
The most successful people in life find work that inspiresand excites them.
I’ll leave you with a fitting poem Christain D. Larson:
When you work simply for yourself or for your own personalgain your mind will seldom rise above the limitations ofthe undeveloped personal life;
but when you are inspired by some great purpose, someextraordinary project, all your thoughts break bounds; yourmind transcends limitations; your consciousness expands inevery direction;
and you find yourself in a new world, a great world, awonderful world; dormant powers, faculties and talentsbecome alive,
and you discover yourself to be a larger man by far than youever dreamed yourself to be.”
– Christian D. Larson, Business Psychology, 1912
