A Difference Between The Rich And Poor

“It’s absolutely one difference between the rich and the poor. It’s the difference between winners and losers, too. Wait! I’m not saying the poor are losers. Make sure you understand this. I’m saying it’s a difference between those who have and those who don’t. Get this!

Rich people play to win. Poor people play not to lose. Rich people do whatever it takes to get ahead. Those who remain poor play not to lose what they already have. Yes, there are poor people who work extra hard. That is a separate point we can discuss another time.

It is also a reason why some rich people lose everything. Once they make it big they change their mindset. They forget the attitude that got them wealthy and now, instead, fear losing their money. They do things to hang on to it instead of continuing to build their wealth.

You Become What You Think About – What You Focus On Expands

Instead of continuing to play to win, they play not to lose. What you focus on determines how you feel and what you do. Your results stem from your purpose. Wealth comes from thinking and doing specific things to make it happen. It matters what you focus on.

I am not saying this is the only reason the poor are poor. There is no shame in being poor. I am pointing out that if you want to make it you have to aim at something. You must have a purpose that drives you to accomplish it. You add to life. You don’t cling to it. Get it!

Aim high. Decide what you will be. Decide what you will have and what you will do. Decide where you will go. You may or may not make it but you will get further faster if you know this in advance. If you want to get to Milwaukee its good if you know the way. Get it?

If You Really Want Something You Will Find A Way

If you are trying not to lose, or you don’t have a definite purpose in mind, you will drift and flounder. Those who succeed are usually those who know they will. They play to win. They do what it takes to get ahead. Yes, there are some bad ones out there too. That’s true.

The bad ones don’t know the difference between creating and competing. They think you have to crush others to get ahead. You don’t! You can succeed by doing things positively and while helping others. In fact, often this is the faster way. Help others along!

If you don’t have a purpose in mind it is time to make one. Clarify what you want and what you will do. Go for what you want. Stay positive and add value to others. All the money you ever receive in life you’ll receive from someone else. It’s a lot easier if you give them lots of value. Over deliver! Help others and you are much more apt to succeed. Especially, when you decide that is what you are going to do. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Determine Whether You Rise Or Fall

“What gets you down? What trips you up? Are you having a tough time making ends meet? Are you having difficulty with family, friends, co-workers and associates? What upsets you? Do you let the circumstances surrounding your life make you feel defeated?

Who rules you? Are you a victim or a victor? Are you one of the herd or are you your own person? Are you positive or negative? Do you add to your life and increase it or do you decrease it by thinking, acting and living small? Do you realize it is all your choice? Or…

Do you put the blame on everyone else? Do you blame your circumstances, make excuses, and spend your day re-living woes and whining? Or… Do you ignore the negativity and the distractions? Do you rise up against the down side, keep your chin up, and carry on?

If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Right

While it may or may not seem like it, it is always your choice. It is always, only up to you. You determine how you experience what is going on by how and what you think about it. What you entertain in your mind determines how you feel and how you act or don’t act.

Decide to bring a positive vibe to the day. Stop letting others and circumstances rule you. Stop! Do not be at the mercy of any circumstances! Stop thinking and living small. Make a difference for yourself. If you claim you don’t know how STOP and learn how!

Stop making excuses. It does require effort to think differently and to maintain a positive mindset. If it were easy you ‘d already be doing it . Everyone would be doing it. To have the mind of a champion you must develop the mind of a champion. That takes time and effort.

You Go Where Your Thoughts Take You – You Can’t Escape This

If you hope things change they probably won’t. You must help make them change by conditioning your mind. You must forge the steel. You must make it strong and put it to work for you. Your mind is an incredible servant and a terrible master. You must control it.

‘To think according to appearances is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called on to perform.’ Wallace Wattles. By appearances he means what your circumstances are.

He adds. ‘Every appearance in the visible world tends to produce a corresponding image in the mind which observes it; and this can only be prevented by holding the thought of the truth.’ Get it? What you think about is what you become. What you focus on expands! Get it?

Tomorrow You Will Be Where Your Current Thoughts Take You

Truth is your ability to prevail in spite of what you see outside. It is what you envision for yourself on the inside that matters. The inner pictures you make determine how you think, feel, behave and the results you get. You need to make and maintain the finest pictures!

That is why he calls it laborious. You maintain focus on the positive good you want to create regardless of what the circumstances are and what others tell you. Family, friends and media don’t dictate to you, but most people let them. You determine what you create!

Yes, it is difficult. BUT it is simple. It isn’t always easy BUT it is worth it. You either get dog shit circumstances and create more because you let them contaminate your mindset, or you focus on the diamonds and get those because you let nothing distract you.

What You Focus On Expands – Change What You Focus On

Get it? It is up to you. It isn’t up to the world around you or anyone else. It is up to you. While it is difficult, still, you can learn to condition your mind in easy and fun ways. You can make the conditioning process more delightful. I can show you how. I will.

That is what Mind Design™ does for you when you incorporate it. If you want things to change YOU must change the things you are doing. Get it? Choose to vibe high. Choose to prevail. Choose to rise high and you can. Choose to celebrate. Put an end the excuses. Start creating your best life ever and begin getting the results you deserve. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Do This For Yourself And Someone Else Today!

“Today, make your day count for you and for someone else. There is enough going on around us to distract us from the fact that there are very good people in the world and that most days are very good days. We get distracted by events and we can get caught up.

That is not to say the events don’t deserve attention and correction. They do. They and people involved need love, peace, kindness, compassion, understanding, and assistance in so many ways. If you can help and do something nice to comfort and air please do so.

It is important. I also want to remind you to do that anyway. Do that daily. Be loving, kind and thoughtful. Do something nice for someone. Help someone out. Go the extra mile and do something without expecting anything in return. Simply, be thoughtful and kind.

Live Love Laugh Learn – Peace Love Understanding Compassion

Gift someone. Say a positive and encouraging word. Demonstrate support. Be enthusiastic with them. Help understand their troubles without becoming coming troubled. Offer them a way up and out. Heal, feed, nurture and care. Speak only to bless, heal and prosper.

Give today. While you are at it, consider making it a daily practice. Pay it forward in some way. It need not be extravagant, but it is okay if it is. Simple, genuine acts of graciousness, kindness, positivity and love often have a profound lasting effect. Look for people to uplift. Spread some of the good around now, when times are turbulent and when they aren’t. Be a beacon of light. Help everyone celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

The Secret To Getting What You Want In Your Career, Relationships, And Life

“How do you get what you want in your career, relationships, and life? What are the things you must do? What is the very first step you must take and then what? There is a sequence to follow that we all go through to create what we don’t want, that we need to use.

We’ll use the same sequence we already use to create the crap to create the good we want, instead. Get it? You redirect what you are already doing to transform your results. So what is it? Okay, first off decide what you want and get really clear about what you want!

Most people focus on what they don’t want. Okay, you can too in order to determine what you do want. First, list what you don’t want. Once you know precisely what you won’t tolerate and do not want, what is it you do want? Now focus on what you do want. Get specific.

Know What You Want – Be Specific – Clarify It – Imagine It Fully

Clarify it and get detailed. Focus on what you want. Best thing to do, write it down. Most people don’t do this but you should. When you write it down you begin to make it more real. When it becomes more real and specific and clarified you are more apt to make it happen.

What most people do is what Job did. He said ‘ For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.’ What you think about you bring about. What you focus on expands. Most people focus on problems and get them.

Instead focus on what you want. Focus on what you wrote down. NOW decide to make it happen. Make it your intention to do what it takes to create what you want. Then take one step toward getting it. Any step. One tiny one. Whatever that may be. Read a book…

Feel What You Want As Already Yours – Feel It Fully – Enjoy It

Make a phone call. Eat a healthy food. Do a few push ups. Whatever gets you closer to being and having what you want – do. DO it! It won’t get done unless you do it. What you have done is used your mind to get what you want instead of what you don’t want. Get it?

In the morning and before bed take a few minutes to look at the goal or goals you wrote down and imagine you’ve already manifested them. Imagine you are living as you desire. Notice which ideas or what action steps seem most obvious and easiest to take.

Then implement these daily. Focus and do. Focus and do. It is important you keep your mind focused on what you want and what you can do. Do not focus on any thoughts, reasons or ‘stories’ of ‘why’ things might be difficult. Stop that. It is self-defeating!

Stop Fearing And Doubting – Decide You Can And You Will

Not only is it self-defeating but it becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. What you think about you bring about. What you focus on expands. Remember? Get it? Instead, use self-fulfilling prophecy to get you what you want, rather than what you don’t want. Really, get this!

Imagine it fun, easy and enjoyable. Make this the self-fulfilling prophecy! See yourself already having it and feeling grateful. Make that your self-fulfilling prophecy! Get it? I mean do you get it? Create what you want not what you don’t want! Be grateful. Have a can do and ‘I will’ attitude. Do it. Make it happen. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Change Is The Only Constant: Roll With The Punches

“Do you ever feel stuck, hopeless or lost? Most of us have at some point? Did you ever have a bad day, week, month or year? Most of us have. Notice however, even during your worst times, things change. It isn’t constant. There are differences and nuances. Things change.

Everything changes. Things always eventually pass. That which keeps things seeming the same is our thoughts about what’s going on. We lock into a mindset, a ‘woe is me’ attitude and live from it. We find what we expect to find. If we think the worst, we discover it.

We find the worst and perpetuate it by thinking about it. During that time things change, but we don’t notice it. If your worst year is over, notice, it changed, Things change! What we need to do is learn mental flexibility and the power of a positive attitude to transform.

You Are Today Where Your Thought Have Brought You

Roll with the punches and you don’t take them on full force. What you resist persists. What you think about you bring about. If you stand as a wall you might get knocked down. A dam requires tremendous energy to hold back the force of the water. It’s a dam!

If you are a dam, preventing the worst from overflowing, you are spending a tremendous amount of energy resisting and keeping things the same. Be flexible. Learn to let go. Let god, the universe or your non-local, non-conscious mind work it out for you. It will.

Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the learning because everything ultimately changes. Everything changes! Learn to change what you focus on. Focus on the silver lining. Find the tiny good and put all your attention on that and be grateful. What you focus on expands!

Tomorrow You Will Be Where Your Thoughts Take You

It all gets better when you change what you are creating. Create more good. Be grateful and your life will change. You will get unstuck when you find the blessing in all circumstances. What you think about you bring about. Get it? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Have Your Best Day Ever!

“Some people waste most of their day. Some waste it by doing nothing. Others waste it by overworking. How does one waste their day? The day is wasted if you haven’t learned something new you can apply, spent time loving your family, or spent time having fun.

Every day you have the opportunity to learn something new. You can increase your knowledge and your abilities. You can make things happen. You can grow and evolve. You are either expanding and increasing or shrinking and decreasing. Use this day wisely.

Add to your personal value. Become a better you. Read, take a class, learn to think and act differently, more positively, more happily. Learn to do new and different things. When you do, you evolve your brain and grow new neural pathways. You really do become better!

The More We Do The More We Can Do – Drop By Drop Tub Fills

Spend time loving family and friends. Commit to spending quality time with people you love and who love you. At the end of your life you will not regret working another day or making another dollar but you likely will regret missing quality time with loved ones.

Don’t miss out. Don’t miss learning and loving and having fun. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not tolerated. If all you do is work and strive you are missing out on real living. You don’t need money to have fun. Play and be delighted. Have fun. Find adventure. Play some games.

Sing, dance, skip. Smile and laugh. Hug and embrace. Juggle, play piano, go for a nature walk. Live large. Treat yourself and others. You only live once. Capture the good life. Don’t wait to have it. Have it right now! Stop making lessor things more important and diminishing the importance of truly important things. Get it? Live large. Delight and enjoy. Live fully. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Easily Fall Asleep And Get A Good Night’s Rest!

“Do you have trouble falling asleep? Do you have difficulty staying asleep? If you said yes, you can change that. You can learn to get a good night of sleep and easily fall asleep. You can condition yourself to sleep well and make it a reliable wonderful and supportive habit.

Stop all electronic use at least one hour prior to bed. Read in a chair use your bed only for sleep. Don’t use the phone or computer in bed. Don’t sleep near router or WiFi. Put your phone far away from you and shut it off, or at least the sound, so you aren’t interrupted.

Make it pitch black. No light. Use a mask if necessary. Make it cool Often bedrooms are too warm. Leave a window open for a little fresh air, if possible. You might use some lavender scent nearby. Either essential oil drops on a nearby pillow or in a silent diffuser.

Take A Deep Breath And Simply Enjoy Your Life – Relax – Let Go

White noise, nature sounds or some quiet soft soothing music can help. Progressively relax. Tense muscles groups and relax from top of head to tips of toes. Breathe. Focus on each set of muscles, tense, relax and breathe. Tense each specific area for 10 seconds and let go.

Begin with your face and head, then move down through your neck and throat, shoulders, chest and upper back, arms and hands, stomach and low back, butt cheeks, thighs, calves, and feet. Tense and relax. Let go. Feel the tension drain away from your body.

Imagine and visualize being in a warm comfortable shower. The water cascades over your body soothing and relaxing you. It enters through the top of your head, relaxing and cleansing the insides of you, draining out the bottom of your feet, washing away all tensions.

Relax – Refresh – Revive – Live – Love – Laugh – Celebrate

Breathe. Use Dr. Andrew Weil’s 4-7-8 formula for sleep. Scores of people report it works wonders. I have attached the article and it is a worthwhile read and a worthwhile practice. Learning how to get the sleep you need easily is an important habit to develop.

Everything else I mentioned in previous blog post applies. Think, pleasant positive thoughts. Feel grateful and list those people, things and circumstances you are thankful for. Savor the feelings. Reduce distractions and negativity. Review your wins and the good moments from the day. Love yourself and feel love and peace. Accentuate the positive. Allow yourself to comfortably drift off. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Tips For Ending The Day And Getting Sleep

“When you first get up you have a choice. Enjoy getting up or dread getting up. Which you choose makes a big difference for the rest of your day. If you drag your butt out of bed and into your day, imagine what that does for all the rest of it. It doesn’t make it most delightful.

On the other hand, once you find a way to wake up, and greet the day with positive thoughts and energy, you bring those thoughts and feelings into the rest of your day. How you go to bed determines a lot about how you wake up. Hey, if you need 8 hours, get it.

Create a nighttime ritual for going to sleep on time. Shut off all electronics at least one hour prior to sleeping. Don’t watch news, FB or current affairs that are negative and energy leeching. Instead, list the things you are most grateful for. Think on these prior to sleep.

How You Do One Thing Is How You Do Everything

Read some inspirational material. Take a warm relaxing bath. Get a massage prior to bedtime. Drink some soothing tea. Unwind, let go. Find peace. Look back over the good moments of the day. Appreciate all your moments. The day’s challenges are learning opportunities.

Don’t focus on what went wrong now. Do that earlier in the evening. Go ahead and reflect on those situations, extract and learn the lessons you need. Journal. Let go resentments and attachments. Do your gratitude list and really feel thankful. Do your affirmations.

It is bedtime. Decide to feel love, peace and gratitude. Close your day successfully. Decide to wake up well. Set intentions for how you want to wake up. Decide how you want to arise. Imagine it. Visualize waking up positively and feeling good. Think about greeting the day.

Live Love Learn Laugh Celebrate Everything – Bless Heal Prosper

Realize how much you love your life. Savor the good. Accentuate the positive. Look back on the good of the day and look forward to the good of the coming day. Relax. Drift off feeling wonderful as you think of delightful things. Let go into dreamland while celebrating everything!” Rex Sikes

Tips To Start Your Day Off Well

“Did you know how you start your day can determine how the rest of your day goes? Many people wake up wrong. What you do in the first few moments is important and sets the tone for all that follows. What you do, and what you don’t do, affects you greatly.

What should you do when you first wake up? Savor the moment. Languish in bed. Meditate. When you first awaken your brainwaves are still in alpha. You aren’t fully awake, yet. Use that time to meditate. Visualize how you’d like your day to go. Imagine it.

Set intentions. Affirm. Exclaim, ‘I love my life.’ Reflect on those you love, feel it, and whom you are grateful for. Practice gratitude. Spend some moments reading or listening to inspirational material. Ease your way up. Smile and laugh for a few minutes. Journal.

You Can’t Escape Your Thoughts – You Go WhereThey Take You

Each of these practices can have a profound effect on how your day begins and follows through. Don’t watch bad news, read email or the paper. Keep your mind positive and optimistic. Focus on what you want not on what you don’t want or what’s upsetting. Celebrate

Don’t get caught up in current events or trauma drama. Perhaps, go for a brief walk or exercise. Eat as you enjoy. Take some water, a cup of tea or coffee, that is up to you. Smell the roses. Look for the good. Direct your heart and your mind. Delight and feel enthused.

Make it a point to begin the day feeling good. Feel the best and most positive and loving as you can. Vibe high. Make these habits and your life will incredibly transform. Add a positive practice weekly or monthly until you are rising and shining! Feel blessed. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
