“The reason you get crappy results are few, simple but pervasive. Two things are possible. 1. You are focused on what you DO NOT want. You think and imagine what you want but really, you’re more focused on what you want to avoid or get rid of AND not what you want. What you think about, you bring about. If you are focused on the opposite of what you want, that’s what you get.

Change this if this is what you are doing. You need to check this and make certain you direct your attention at what you want and imagine living from that. Live as if you already have it in your imagination. Feel it. See it from your point of view. Experience having it within using all your senses. Experience what it’s like to already be it. Experience what it’s like to already be doing it.

Experience what it’s like to already have it. You own it. Feel it. If you already have it you don’t want it because you already are it, are doing it or you already have it. Get this. This is very important because 2. You’re thinking about NOT HAVING what it is you want. You’re in that gap between having it and not having it. A bridge spans both sides. You must be on the side you want to be on, not anywhere else.

Some people don’t realize they/re focused on lack. They think they are focused on what they want but instead are thinking mostly about what they don’t yet have. They notice the distance between where they are, and their goal and they despair. You do not move uphill thinking downhill thoughts. You can’t want something and feel bad about not having it and expect to get it.

You can’t be looking at the gap and feeling great. You can’t be focused on how far you are from the finish line. You need to focus on having already won the prize and how great that feels. Mentally and emotionally excel and give your best. Some people want to speed read books as much as possible to get all sorts of info. It is not about how fast you do something.

It is not about how quick you get success. It is about HOW MUCH TIME YOU PUT INTO getting what you want and the quality of that time. It is better to devote a half hour of concentrated focus on your goals than to be hasty and spend much of your time wanting, wishing, doubting, worrying and afraid you won’t get it. It takes time for seeds to sprout and plants to grow.

The quality of the time spent makes all the difference in your ability to reach your goal more readily and easily. Since it may take time to get what you want the question is how you are spending your time? If you were absolutely certain you had it, how would you think, feel, speak and behave? If you’d won the lottery and they were sending a check on a certain date how would you feel prior to getting it?

A plant is either growing or dying. You’re either mostly positive or mostly negative. To get what you want as soon as possible you need to be mostly positive and optimistic, feeling wonderful most of the time. You can add in positive practices bit by bit that make you feel better and better.  You can decide to begin and end each day well. I have given you some ideas for this in other posts.

I’ll share the 2nd ingredient in an upcoming blog. This blog site is devoted to assisting anyone in making changes. There are powerful ideas and principles shared in each article. Re-read this blog and spend time filling your mind with positive ideas. In my workshops we have an added advantage of troubleshooting and answering questions, providing immediate feedback that we don’t have here.

So, I am trying to be as thorough and complete as possible in each post to point you towards what you can do to make a real difference in your career and life. If you want to be happy you need to begin by thinking happy thoughts. It doesn’t work the other way around. Thinking external things bring us happiness is one of the great lies. If you want happiness, health and success it begins on the inside.

You create it all within you and then in your outer world. The results you get are determined by your dominant thoughts and feelings. Think and feel the best most of the time and your life will be amazing! Truly, you can be, do and have anything you think you can. Make your day marvelous. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
