A “state of mind” is a temporary psychological state. It’s a mood, really. And moods make or break. They can make you feel invincible or powerless, happy or sad, outgoing or shy, focussed or vague. Darren L. Johnson said: “Ultimately, your state of mind determines your circumstances”. It means not the situation, but the mood you’re in determines how you manifest yourself. So, here are some quotes that might just boost your state of mind. Joyce Brothers: “Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.” Napoleon Hill: “Fears are nothing more than a state of mind”. Robert Hillyer: “Perfectionism is a dangerous state of mind in an imperfect world”. Wayne Dyer: “The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.” Catherine Ponder: “The forgiving state of mind is a magnetic power for attracting good.” Alexander Bell: “What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.” And back to Darren L. Johnson: To realize the outcomes you want, it is critical to recognize and experience the transition from your present thoughts, habits and actions to new thoughts, habits and actions. For it is this transition that lets you alter your state of mind, and thus change your world.

focusNjoy #120: You learn more having a truly open mind
Education is a means to ‘survive’ in modern society. It gives us a frame of reference to which we all can relate. When we look closer into this frame of reference, it turns out to be a collection of rules and patterns, and modes of thinking – more or less presented like certainties on which we can build our realities. Paradoxically, in order to learn we need do let go of certainties. To make new discoveries and to gain revolutionary insights we need “think out of the box” and leave the certainties our education gave us. And is exactly that – forgetting what we know – what makes it hard to learn.
