It came to me last night (or should I say early in the morning 1am) about the state of mind and the affect it has on our lives. Questions arose on what influences it and can I influence it to get into the right state. I am sure all of you have at least once been in the state of mind of getting healthy and doing exercise, or may be inspired to complete a task. What ever it is, when you are in the right state of mind, you can achieve anything.

So our state of mind is can be influenced by many things. Music, images, books, events and various other things that may trigger our associative memory to relate. For example if you had a certain song playing while a major event in your life happened, good or bad, when its play now, you will remember that moment and most likely how you were feeling.

Just a quick side note on music is that what ever music is resonating with you, is what frequency you are resonating at. A realization that can tell you a lot more than you might care to know straight away. Think about what songs you really like, and by reflection its what you are feeling. Music resonates with us emotionally, maybe also from a biological perspecitve as well.

Next time you are completing a task or feel inspired to do something, what created that feeling, take note of the taste, smell, music playing, subject being spoken about. And once you find out what can create that feeling, or brings you to that state of mind, all you need to do is the same thing next time to trigger that response.

Our state of mind determines our lives, and what state of mind you may be in most of the time is what life you live. Change your state of mind, and you change your life. A saying you probably all know, but might now be clearer and more valuable that you can see it in action, understand it and now influence it.

In the words of Mr Smith (The Matrix); “It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guide us. That drive us. It is purpose that defines. Purpose that binds us.”

This statement says a a lot about purpose. Purpose is the core of our life. Without it people are lost and do nothing more than survive and resort to simple instant self gratification.
Welcome to today.

So how do your define your purpose? As many greats in the past have said, living the a life for others is a life worth living.

What would make you really joyous. I don’t use the word happy, as a large screen tv, or a trip to disney land would make you happy.

How would you feel if you saved a life today, what would happen if you provided shelter for 10 people. The only thing you have in this world after you leave is your legacy, what do you want to be remembered for?

Once you have defined your purpose, this is an amazing driving force to acheive incredible things in your life.

I thought I would compile a list of my favorite quotes which I find have powerful meanings. I will continue to add to these over time.

“Begin each day as if it were on purpose” – Mary Anne Radmacher

“Only a life lived for others is a life worth while” – Albert Einstein

“Never wish life were easier, wish that you were better.” – Jim Rohn

“A life lived for happiness is a life lived with purpose.” – Adam Pedley
