“Ask yourself, ‘What do I believe about myself? Who do I think I am?’ The answers matter. Whatever you believe about yourself determines what you think is possible. The beliefs you hold determine whether you are happy and successful or not. You feel uplifted and confident, or you don’t. Understand this. Whatever you hold to be true about you affects you. Who you think you are causes what you do and don’t.

The feelings you feel come from who you think you are. What you say and how you speak about yourself, and the world comes from who and what you believe yourself to be. Most people believe the world, circumstances, events and others hold power over them. They say, ‘I’m unhappy because he or she did this to me. I’m a failure because I never got my shot. The bank won’t approve my loan so I can’t do anything.’

Those are thoughts. Your beliefs are thoughts you repeatedly think to yourself. They may not be true, but they can hold you back if you let them. They’re what you say to yourself. They’re how you explain yourself and the world. AGAIN, they’re only thoughts. Here’s the big deal. You are the thinker. You think thoughts you came to accept about yourself while you were growing up. Then you looked for evidence of them.

Through experience you either validated them or dismissed them, let them go and decided to think something else instead. Many find validation for the limitations they accepted. If you thought differently, you could discover other ‘truths’. If you thought, you can instead of can’t it would’ve made a difference. DO you get this? Thinking makes it so. Saying it is so and seeing it as so, makes it that way.

What we hold in our mind determines how far we travel just as how much gas we have in our tank determines how far we can go. What you believe about yourself saves you or sinks you as Reverend Ike would say. AND again, here’s the thing. A thought isn’t anything but an electro-chemical impulse interpreted in the language you use. You think, ‘I am fat.’ Then you think, ‘I shouldn’t think that.’ Thoughts on thoughts.

You feel bad for being fat. Then on top of it you feel bad for feeling bad. Get this. Your inner critic, voice, monologue is just a kind of automatic tape loop that goes on endlessly. You may never be able to turn it off. However, you can decide what to listen to just as you can choose what to listen to on your radio. You are the thinker. You are the one who can choose. You may not have known this, but it’s true AND it’s up to you.

Instead of giving your power away to others, circumstances and events, take it back. Instead of thinking you’re a bad person for having certain thoughts, decide to think better thoughts. Think you are a good person. The only reason you don’t yet is because what you think is a habit. You think the same things day by day. You think the same thoughts over and over depending on what’s going on. They’re habitual.

Learn to think differently and you’ll feel differently. If you take the same path every day you see the same things. Take a different path and you see different things. Think different thoughts and you’ll feel different. Accept responsibility for thinking your thoughts. Blaming others, your past, parents or circumstances will just keep you stuck and not able to change. Decide to become choosy about thinking and think differently.

Decide to only think the best, most positive and optimistic thoughts about yourself and you’ll feel different. Feeling different will cause you to say and do different things and get different results. Want better results? Think better thoughts! Listen to what you say and how you say it and you’ll learn what you believe to be true. Your beliefs are expressed constantly. Your opinions and what you value are clues. as are your rules.

Ask yourself what you believe about yourself and who you think you are. If you don’t like the answer, change it. Whatever the answer was or is, IS causing you to suffer or enjoy your life. Ask yourself the question frequently and you’ll discover your assets and limitations. Beliefs aren’t true or not. They’re just useful. They either serve to make you feel better and do things or they don’t serve you.

Whatever problems you have or think you have come from your habitual thought patterns. Thought patterns are the automatic repetitive tape loops. Thought patterns can be changed. All habits can be changed. Believe it or not. BUT what you believe about your ability to change thought patterns determines the kind of experience you may go through. Get it? What you think is true, is true for you. Easy or hard? you decide!

They uplift or sink you. If you think you can or think you can’t, you’re correct. Said Henry Ford. He also said, I never let what I can’t do prevent me from doing what I can. Think about these statements. He says, don’t let your thoughts rule you. It’s important to understand. You ought to rule your thoughts. Whatever you believe determines how you will act. How you act determines your results. Start choosing to think better.

Understand that’s who you are. You’re the chooser! Stop acting, being and living like a victim. Take the reins and ride the horse. Tell the horse where you want it to go. Don’t let the horse decide. Don’t let automatic, habitual auditory tape loops or internal repetitive negative imagery decide for you. YOU decide. You take charge. You speak it and see it as it ought to be. What you believe and speak IS what you get! Get it?

Do this exercise to clean house. Throw out the old junk and make room for the new. Stop giving your power away. Stop blaming others or yourself. Start living better by thinking and feeling better. What you believe and say about yourself creates your heaven or hell. What you think about you bring about. Choose what you want to think and feel. You choose which road you want to travel on to get somewhere. YOU. YOU choose!

Understand whatever you choose to believe is true for YOU. It is your subjective truth. We’re not talking about objective, external truths. That’s a different discussion. What is true for you IS true for you. Whatever ever you choose to believe and there’s millions and millions of choices becomes YOUR truth. It’s your truth about you, others and the world. YOUR truth determines what you find in your world and what you miss.

Remember, YOU are the chooser and maker of your truth. You don’t say the road chose you. Be the boss of your thoughts. If you will, you’ll discover how much more wonderful life can be. Life gets better and better the more you love, laugh, learn and celebrate. The more grateful you are, the more incredible everything becomes. Want a good life? think good thoughts. Want more money? Think prosperously! Get it?

Want to be happy? Think happy thoughts. Want to feel peaceful? Think peaceful thoughts. Want love in your life? Think more loving thoughts. Decide what you want and think it into being. From within to without. Decide what you deserve. You are worthy. You can do this. It can begin to immediately change when you change it. Your problems no longer need to be your problems. They can be former problems. Let them go. Change your thinking (your beliefs) for the better. Do this. Rock it! Read ‘Life On Your Terms’ for much, much more. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
