Are You Frustrated Things Take Time?

“Are you frustrated some things take time? Well, some things do! Plant a seed. It takes time. Other things don’t. The easiest way to live is to simply expect good to occur whenever it does. It can happen right now, or in a little while, or much later. All is good. Don’t fret.

Every day there are countless blessings and good things to discover if we only look for them. We need not wait. This world is a pretty wonderful place! Look for the good. Leave the bad news and trauma drama alone. Look for tiny blessings and gifts to celebrate.

Minds Are Like Parachutes They Only Work When Open

Remember, we get what we focus on. Be open to being blessed in any number of ways. Stop caring how or in what way it will come. Simply, be open to something, delightful, good and unexpected happening within 24 hour time frame. Time really doesn’t matter.

If we seek we shall find whatever we are seeking. Count your blessings and expect more! Be ready for a miracle. Plan for one. You are more likely to receive one if you are willing to receive one. Just don’t insist. Be open. Expect. Look and enjoy everything.

Remember How Blessed You Are And Be Grateful For

Everyday expect miracles and blessings, gifts and coincidences. It doesn’t matter what it’s called. Time and size don’t matter. Just do it and be grateful! Then keep doing it! Delight and enjoy! How will you delight in today? Be willing to celebrate. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Are You Trying Hard To Change But Not Changing?

“Many people fight the fight. ‘I want to change. I need to change but nothing ever works. Somehow it works for others but not for me!’ Is this you? Have you ever thought, felt or said anything similar to this?If you have, there is hope. You can make changes successfully!

There are things you can do. Bit by bit. Step by step. The first thing to do is acknowledge that you want to do this and pat yourself on the back. Next, forgive yourself for trying and quitting and complaining or blaming. Forgive and let it go. It isn’t serving you. Let it go.

Nurture yourself. Accept yourself. Love yourself. And commit to making a small change daily, in at least one area or task, you want to change. 1%. that is all! That is it. Stop trying to do too much. Stop struggling and wishing and getting frustrated. Slow down a bit

Mind Is As Strong As Its Weakest Think – Drop by Drop Tub Fills

1 % change a day in the right direction is over 300 % change a year. If you used a compound interest formula then 1% change in 365 day is something like 65 thousand times more improvement. A rocket traveling 1 degree off will miss its target by 100,000s of miles.

Don’t dismiss the power of a dedicated, tiny, 1% daily action. It’s powerful. First, get your mindset right! You read my blog. Go back to the very first one. Read a little bit each day. Read 30 minutes, or 5. Read thirty pages or 1 but everyday read a little bit.

Make a study of what you read. Revisit and re-read. Immerse yourself for as much time as possible. If you can’t read a page a day read a paragraph. Read a single sentence. Just build a consistent habit. THEN remember: The proper fruit of knowledge is action.

The More We Do The More We Become Capable Of Doing

Take one small action step each day toward what you want. It will make an incredible difference overall. Determining to read may be the first step you commit to. Bit by bit your attitude will improve. You’ll see opportunity where previously you only saw difficulty.

When your mindset, your attitude is right, you can do more much more easily. Stop letting your thoughts and feelings get in the way. Stop letting them prevent you from living your best life. Want more help? I am here. My programs are wonderful and powerful. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Everything Is A Blessing Even Your Hardships!

“When you are troubled and struggling it seems natural your attention would go there. It does, but it doesn’t have to. Oddly, we perpetuate our troubles the more we focus on them. Einstein pointed out problems and solutions don’t exist at the same level.

In order to break free you must turn from thinking of problems as problems. Instead think of them as opportunities. Bless every person and circumstance that comes your way. When you can bless, and accept anything, and know all works together for good, you are free.

“That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which makes our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness to reach the light.” — Albert Pike

Freedom comes from within you. Most people think it happens from the outside. It doesn’t. When you transform from within your outer world may transform as well. If it doesn’t, at least you have. This makes all the difference in the world. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

30 Positive Ways To De-stress, Relax & Go To Sleep

If you would like to sleep easier or get more rest here’s a list of 30 positive, healthy things you can do to relax, unwind, and help you sleep. Refresh and renew. Simple to do. Easy. Make them habits and enjoy. One or more of these may be your favorite.

Breathe. Exhale in to count of 4. Hold for 7. Exhale for 8 count. Repeat.
Progressive muscle relaxation. Begin at feet and flex muscles. Hold for 5 or 10 seconds. Work up the body to the top of your head.
If you prefer work your way down instead. Start at top of head. Then tense face muscles down to toes. Relax. Breathe and let go.
Imagination/visualization. Travel in your mind to relaxing nature scene. See, hear, feel, smell how wonderful it is to relax in nature.
Hypnosis. Self-hypnosis or listen to audio relaxation programs.
Take a warm luxurious bath. Candles and some relaxing scents.
Rest peacefully in dim light. Listen to soothing sounds or music.
Remove electronics, shut everything off. Remove from the room.
Use lavender scent. A drop or two of essential oil on pillow.
Get a massage. Gentle bodywork is marvelous.
Create a special place for relaxation. Keep it special. Make it beautiful. A soothing place to retreat. Could be a closet…
Do not use your bed to watch tv, or use computer or phone. While in bed use it only for sleeping.
To Sleep. Put room in total darkness. Remove all electronics. Set cool temperature (not too cool). Use blindfold for darkness. Eliminate noise as much as possible. Breathe and let go.
Eat a light snack. No sugar or caffeine. An ounce of cheese or turkey shortly before bedtime. Light snack!
Enjoy a cup of chamomile tea.
Exercise during the day, not before bed. If you have difficulty sleeping it often means you weren’t physically active enough during the day. Move more. Engage in an enjoyable, active sport.

Yoga. Relaxing yoga.
Listen to nature sounds. Steam, rain, wildlife or white noise.

Without The Will To Do It You’ll Go Nowhere!

Why the moon photo? Because when Wernher von Braun was asked by President Kennedy what it would take to put a man on the moon and return him safely to earth his reply was short, but it spoke volumes! It was the truth. His answer to that is his answer to us.

von Braun replied, ‘The will to do it’. It’s the same with any and all of your goals. Will is more important than skill! Skill comes from doing. Will comes from your mindset, attitude and your passion. If those aren’t great, and if you’re not passionate, most likely you won’t.

Will means you don’t quit no matter the odds or opposition. Challenges and problems are part of the journey to be resolved, solved or overcome. There are boulders in most streams. You need to make sure your mindset is a champion mindset to prevail!

You Won’t Always Be Motivated – So You Must Be Disciplined

Make sure you have a will of steel. When you’re certain you will do it, no matter what, you will get further than people who never commit to making it happen. All successful people do this. They know and do things you don’t. If you want to be successful you must do it, too.

Develop a champion mindset, a heart burning with desire and passion, and will of steel. Without these, you are bound to quit along the way. You won’t keep on going to make your vision and mission happen. You need to learn what the successful people know and do that you haven’t yet. You need to develop your mindset. Then skill will come from doing BUT to know, and not do is to actually not know at all. Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes

The Will Must Be Stronger Than The Skill!

“Successful people know something those who haven’t succeeded don’t know. People who have gone further in their pursuits than others know what got them there. They know what to do and what not to. They may have learned by trial and error, but they know.

How many successful people do you know who had it easy all the way? Sure, there may be some, but most have known incredible hardship and odds stacked against them, yet they persisted and made it happen! They know what gives them the edge.

Last post, I shared some quotes that are important! Reflect on them. I share a few more now. Keep these thoughts in mind. The people quoted reached the top of their game. They tell it like it is. Listen and be willing to learn from them. Develop a champion mind. Listen!

All these quotes in this blog post are from Muhammad Ali:

‘I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.’

‘It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.’

‘Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.’

Your mindset makes all the difference. Your mindset determines how far you will go. It determines your passion and commitment, you will and enthusiasm. It determines your persistence and whether or not you quit. If you aim high and keep going without stopping, adjusting as necessary but keeping the faith, you can make it happen. You only need to do the right things often enough for long enough. Do it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Winning Is A Habit: Unfortunately So Is Losing!

“‘Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.’ Vince Lombardi

‘Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.’ Serena Williams

‘There’s always something you have to give up for success. Everything comes at a cost. Just what are you willing to pay for it?’ Serena Williams

‘Tennis is just a game, family is forever.’ Serena Williams

I thought these quotes spoke loudly. Our habits matter. What we do matters. Everything has a cost. Your relationships are most important. Sage thinking from two profound people. Think on these things. Enjoy success. Cherish your loved ones. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Direct Your Mind Or It Directs You

“The bulk of my work since the early 80s has been how to direct the mind and live happier, healthier, more successfully and wealthier. How do we direct the mind? How can I direct your mind? There are good ways and there are better ways. I found an incredible way!

My program is called Mind Design™ which I consider the art and science of living well. I begin with the question, how can I create my best life ever? When one asks that question one can begin to do many marvelous things to enjoy many more magical moments.

In the early 80s through my own personal tragedy I discover I was trying really hard to get affirmations to work. I asked, ‘what is wrong? Why can’t I get this to work? What is wrong with me? Why is this taking so long?’ I found I felt worse and worse. Then it hit me!

To Live A Better Life Ask Yourself Better Questions

I was asking the wrong questions. Instead, I began asking, ‘how can I begin to feel better? What can I do to feel more confident? In how many ways can I discover myself feeling good about myself? How soon can I begin feeling better?’ I started asking better questions.

When I changed my mind for the better and got back up on my feet I began teaching and sharing what I had discovered. Questions direct the mind. Do you realize this? I developed my program and Directed Questions™. It is a powerful way to make profound personal change.

Many others have used it as a basis for their books and programs. People took my work and rushed out to publish it as theirs. I was sad to have people blatantly steal my work. Then I realized more people were being helped with, or without, me directly. That’s cool!

The Mind Is As Strong As Its Weakest Think

Most people ask themselves crummy questions that send them spiraling down. What’s wrong? Instead they could ask, what am I doing that I need to change? How soon will I discover another, more effective way to do this easily? Get it? Ask a better question.

Do it! You’ll begin getting better results. Those who took my work missed the heart of it. They’d ask, why I am successful? That’s fine. Its better but it misses the point. You could still answer back, ‘you’re not’. Some even used my examples in the order I provided them.

Again, it saddened me but I realized people were getting helped even if they weren’t getting all of what I wanted to share. They were getting a taste, and because the work is so powerful, even a taste proved beneficial. I wondered, ‘in how many ways could I delight?’

Your Brain Works On A Question Even When You Stop Asking

The point of my work is: your mind works this way anyway. I didn’t invent questions obviously, but I learned how to aim them and direct the mind. You see, your mind is going to do what it learned to do, and run on and on, unless you take charge and direct it. Get it?

It’s similar to a horse. It does what it does until you teach it you are the rider. Then you can direct it where you want it to go. I’ll share more on this later but realize you are the product of the questions and thoughts you think most. You think the same things repeatedly.

Change what you say to yourself. Change what you ask of yourself. You might ask, are you sure, Rex? What did you just do? Consider this. Many people say, I can’t afford it. It’d be more productive to ask how can I afford it? Your brain works to get the answer for you.

Ultimately You Are Responsible For How You Live Your Life

Ask, ‘I’m wondering how quickly I will discover the many different ways I can make this happen easily and swiftly?’ OR ‘How soon will I find myself thrilled to find myself able to make this happen and have lots of money left over for other things I enjoy?’ The key is to send the brain to work on things you want, not the things you don’t. Get it? When you do your life will change in so many positive ways. You might begin to wonder ‘in how many wonderful ways.’ Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What A Mastermind Group Is and Is Not!

“A mastermind group is NOT a group of collected individuals who pay, or for free, join to learn something from a coach. It is not a brainstorming public session. This is what is typically offered as a mastermind, it is not, but coaches erroneously use the name.

A mastermind group is a group of powerful positive creators who align their thoughts and efforts into making things happen that they could not do independently of each other. They are a valuable team and are incredible assets to each other. They are top shelf.

They come together, or are brought together, for a specific purpose or Definite Chief Aim. Each person in the mastermind fulfills a specific purpose, has a particular talent and plays a particular role. It isn’t a collection of just anyone. It is a purposeful, specific assembly!

Cooperation Is The Conviction Nobody Gets There Unless All Do

They support each other in remaining positive and doing their tasks the very best. They inspire each other to reach higher. They remind and uplift each other at all times. They work together in cooperation and harmony to bring about a specific result.

One person oversees the mastermind. This person ensures they are in harmony and on task. If anyone is not, they may be invited to leave or be removed. Again, this is not a think tank or support group. This is a specific assembly designed to make something specific happen!

Andrew Carnegie assembled people to build his steel empire. Henry Ford to build an automobile business. The mastermind is comprised of select people whose vision and purpose is to support Carnegie or Ford, or whomever, in their Definite Chief Aim. It is a select group!

It Takes A United Cooperating Orchestra To Play A Symphony

Members all need to be on the same page, share the same vision and mission, working together in harmony, bringing to the task their specific talents and expertise so that together they can realize the Definite Chief Aim for which they were assembled. To get results!

Today, everyone calls their groups a mastermind. They are not! However, whether or not you have an actual mastermind group to make a mutual shared DCA happen, you can still enjoy achieving better results when you have a positive support group to assist you.

We are resources for each other. Remember, this concept of the mastermind group: the whole IS greater than the sum of the individual parts. You can be more imaginative and creative and bring about more good together than you may do by yourself alone. Work together cooperatively in whatever you do and you will get further faster. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

The Relationship You Nurture Is The One You Keep

“Fill yourself with positive thoughts, feelings and energy. Wish well, and do good for all others in mind and deed, and you will get back so much more you will hardly be able to believe. Positive energy is infectious for other positive people. Positive energy is attractive.

When your energy is vibrating high it can be uplifting for those who need a lift. By feeling good others may too. Lower vibe people may choose not to be around one who feels so good. They may just need time to change how they feel. Then they may come around.

Don’t be evangelical about anything. Don’t insist others change. Simply accept them as they are. Allow for anything and everything. Allow each person to be who they are. Don’t judge them. By allowing others to be who they are, you are freer to be who you are.

You Can’t Correct Your Mistakes By Pointing Out Other’s Mistakes

Isn’t to be free what you really want anyway? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be free to be who you are and to enjoy what you want when you want to? When you’re not in competition for anything and you discover people who are on the same page it’s delightful.

Others want the same, too. You can even work towards getting the same results together. You can align and attain bigger results more swiftly than you may have gotten working alone. This is important. When positive, powerful creators all want the same thing and work together co-operatively toward the same end they can do more than one can alone. Think about it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
