Inspire

That which inspires us, makes us hopeful, joyful, powerful and amazing. As you get inspired you enter a ‘flow state’ as Chickamenkail calls it.  A ‘flow state’ is an altered state of consciousness that is totally present, focused, where time slows down, reactions speed up and the mind is in sync with the body.  As you create your outcome in your mind, as you visualise it, hear it, and feel it you are encouraged to turn it into a reality.  As you move toward your goal you are enthused about the reality you are creating. As you are stirred to action you create more images, sounds and feelings in your head that motivates you to achieve the possible.

There are so many things that inspire.  It may be an inspiring person, someone you admire or respect, they may be famous or obscure, known to millions or just their family.  An inspiring person dreams of possibilities and converts their dreams into reality.  As you witness their actions you begin to think “if they can do it, why not me?” and in that moment of inspiration you have the ability to action the dream.  It may be an image that inspires you, the earth from space, a flower, the ocean, your beloved.  It may be song that inspires you to be more energetic or more peaceful. Music and lyrics have moved people to tremendous acts of courage and bravery.  It may be a place that is special for you, your own special place of inspiration.  You may have an inspired feeling, one that always gives you the right answer or your best guess or the precise point on the map.  It may be a dance that inspires you.  A memory may inspire you.  It may remind you of a special moment in time from long ago that seems like yesterday.  It may be the memory of a special place that is now no more.

It may exist solely in your imagination because it speaks of a future time that no-one else can see except you.  Ray Disney when asked if it was sad that Walt Disney never lived to see the opening of DisneyLand said “No, because Walt was the first one to have seen it and we are just catching up with Walt’s vision”.
