Get Advice From Albert Einstein

What If You Could Ask Anyone For Help?

Have you ever noticed how sometimes you are at your most
creative when you are interacting with another person? You
and your friend or acquaintance feed off of each other's
ideas and help each other clarify things. Well what about
those times when you are alone, or you have no one you wish
to share your ideas with? What can you do then to stimulate
creative thought and to find elegant solutions to your
problems? You could try talking to Albert Einstein.

Okay, you might want to talk to Andrew Carnegie or Lee
Iacocca if your problem has to do with making a factory more
productive. A question about love might be better addressed
to the Dalai Lama. The point is to have a conversation in
your head with a historical person or expert who can help
with your particular problem. Why would you want to do
this?

Your Imagination Needs Form To Function

Whether you realize it or not, you have a powerful
imagination. What you may not have, however, is a powerful
way to use it. That is what you get with a conversation in
your head; a way to access the creative power of your mind.
You will be surprized how often your imaginary Einstein
comes up with an interesting idea, or asks you a question
that produces something useful.

Try it in this way: Use the image of someone who you respect
and know something about. This is so you can easily imagine
what they might say. It can be a fictional character - in
fact, this may be even better. Explain the situation to this
person, and listen to what they have to say.

Remember those WWJD pins and stickers? WWJD stands for "What
Would Jesus Do?" Young christians wore these pins (still do,
I believe) as a source of guidance. Whether you are a
christian or not, you can understand how in a time of
confusion, this simple question can immediately clarify the
situation and allow a right decision.

Think about this for a moment. All the information necessary
to make a right decision might be there in a young man's
head already, and yet there is confusion. Imagining what
Jesus would do or say is all it takes to "see" the answer.

So start talking with your imaginary friends (in your head
please). Ask for help with personal, business, moral and any
other problems. This is a powerful way of drawing on the
power of your unconscious mind, and it will work for you if
you give it a chance.
