“We are creatures of habit. We do what we have always done. We change very little unless forced too. Why would we change if we are comfortable? When the shoe fits you don’t notice it. But when it doesn’t fit, and it feels too tight or uncomfortable you seek to change it. If you always do what you always do and did, you’ll always get what you always got. Get this? People don’t seek change.
They crave it but fear it. And they fear it but crave it. How do most people change? Adversity. Tragedy. Hardship. Loss. When the rug is pulled out from under them, and everything falls apart then some people will decide they no longer want to be that way or live that way. They finally, if it is rough or tough enough, decide this sucks. I don’t want this. Never again. I’m going to do things differently.
I need to be different and do different to have different. Get this! When everything is good and they are comfortable, why would they want to change it? So, troubles and problems provide us opportunities to evolve. We grow through adversity. IF we’re wise enough to grow through adversity. We certainly don’t want it when it arrives. Instead, we ought to welcome and celebrate it.
Attitude is everything. It makes the difference in how you go through anything. If you’ve a bad attitude you can hate it when things are wonderful. You can be sour, dour and a drag. Life can suck even when it doesn’t. If you’ve an incredible, optimistic, positive, powerful attitude then even in the worst moments you can find a way through. You can excel and vibe high even during the worst.
Attitude determines how you navigate difficulty. Attitude determines whether you love and celebrate the journey or dread and hate it. Attitude is the number one predictor for success in all areas of your life. If your attitude sucks when times are good, they’re likely to suck when times are bad. If your attitude is great when times are bad how much better might they be when times are good.
When your attitude is right you never work a day in your life. You do things, take the right actions because you enjoy it. It’s an opportunity, an advantage, to be able to do what is necessary to create the things you want. If you love it and enjoy doing it, you’re more likely to keep doing it. If you hate it and don’t want to do it, how likely are you to continue? If you think you can or can’t, you are right!
How you approach anything is how you approach everything. If you think that it is hard work to improve yourself then it will be hard work. Your mindset dictates what it is for you. You are affirming that it’s tough. Even if it isn’t that tough you aren’t likely to enjoy it much if your attitude is poor. Remember, attitude determines your altitude. It determines when you feel blessed or stressed.
Attitude is that little thing that makes an incredible difference. If you’d like to be better, perform better and have better IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE HARD. It can be, but when your attitude is right you don’t notice it as hard. You notice it as what you want to do to make things happen. You do it because it is what you do. You celebrate it. If it is a chance to change it’s a blessing. Celebrate it.
When you celebrate and are grateful for anything it serves you better than when you aren’t. If you stress about something, that stress takes its toll. If you want to perform optimally and get the most positive change, benefit and results then your mindset needs to be optimal. You get what you focus on. Energy flows where your attention goes. What you focus on expands. Do you understand this?
What you think about you bring about. Thoughts become things. YOU have a choice. DO you want it harder or easier? Your thinking makes it so. Perception is everything. The Placebo Effect dictates that what you believe about something IS most likely, most often the case. That’s why you can heal yourself by believing yourself healed OR make yourself sick. Energy flows where your attention goes.
You always have a choice. If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are correct. If you think you have a choice or you think you don’t, you are correct. If you think it is hard or you think it is easy, you are right. If you think you will or you think you won’t, you are right. AND if it isn’t 100% accurate it is way, way up there. The likelihood you will go counter to what you think is slim.
Your beliefs, perception, your attitude directs your behaviors. If you think you can or can’t, you are correct. If you think something is or isn’t possible, you are right. Get this? YOU are the deciding factor in how you experience the world. You are the deciding factor in what your current life looks like, feels like and is like. If you don’t like it, why not? YOU created it! If you like it. You created it.
If you don’t like it you can change it. Decide to. That is the next step after realizing you don’t like it. When you notice something is wrong you can decide to change it. Think differently about it. Change your attitude. When you change your attitude, you feel differently. When you feel differently you can act and behave differently. When you think, feel, speak and act differently you get different results.
If you always do what you always did you always get what you always got. Doing the same thing repeatedly but expecting different results IS the definition of insanity. It’s habit. It is your comfort zone. Your thinking, feeling, speaking and behavior is repeatedly the same, so you keep getting the same results. If you don’t like that you can change it. Notice it and decide.
The journey of 1000 miles begins FIRST with the decision to go on the journey. The SECOND step occurs when you take it on the earth. Then keep taking steps in the right direction and ultimately you will get there. How you journey is COMPLETELY up to you and your attitude. If you hate it every step will be hard to take. If you think it is difficult, a sacrifice, a risk it’s likely to feel that way and be that.
How long are you likely to continue with that attitude or mindset? Not long, most likely. BUT celebrate it. Consider each step a gift, a blessing and opportunity you are grateful for and you’re more likely to keep going. If you enjoy it, find fun in it, grow during it, no matter what ‘it’ is you are more likely to continue. Why, because it is enjoyable. Because you do what you enjoy when you can.
Right? You want more of it. When your thinking is right you feel like keeping at it because it feels good. You create momentum because you are enthused, passionate, eager, optimistic and all of it is good. When you make personal growth work you miss the opportunity of making inner ‘work’ play. Play, delight and enjoy. You grew and learned most by playing as a child. You explored and loved it.
Fascination captivates. When it was work in school and you were marked wrong or punished how good did you feel about it? You could have been instructed differently. When you wanted to memorize the ABCs, you put it to music. Get it? You sang and learned. You played and learned. You enjoyed and learned. You can learn to do the same with personal development and all hardship.
How you journey matters. Life is an adventure to be experienced not a bad experience you can’t wait until it ends. If you think it is a problem it will be a problem, you are correct. If you think it is a blessing it will be a blessing, you are correct. Get it. If you don’t think you can spiritually, mentally, emotionally, behaviorally change without hardworking and suffering, well you would be correct.
However, when you REALIZE YOU can 10 times your benefits and results AND change spiritually, mentally, emotionally, behaviorally through fun, delight, gratitude, celebrate, optimism, positivity, enthusiasm, eagerness, and a spirit of exploration and fascination which captivates and fascinates you, well you would be correct. Get it? Whether you can or you can’t IS ABSOLUTELY UP TO YOU!
If you don’t understand this or aren’t yet able, that’s why I am here. Come and join me in an online or live event. IF YOU THINK YOU can join me or can’t, you are correct. GET IT? It is whatever you decide it is! Your mindset and attitude make it so. Believing is seeing. Until you believe YOU WON’T see it. If you want to change, be the change you want to be.
Believe it is possible or not, you are correct. Understand? The journey of 1000 miles will be whatever you decide it will be. The journey of 1000 mills will be whatever you make it. You either will or won’t take the journey. If you take the journey, you will take steps. You will act no matter what. Whether it is difficult or delightful is up to you. ‘As a man thinks in his heart, so is he’ – Proverbs 23.7 You’ll have to act either way. Suffer or celebrate it’s up to you. What you think it is, it is. I say, “Celebrate Everything!” Rex Sikes

“If you can change your mind, you can change your life.” William James
“I’ll be blunt: I’m very disappointed that these secrets are available. I think buying this material should be treated like buying hand guns: You should have to fill out forms and get checked out first to see if you’ll use this wisdom for good or evil. I’ve NEVER seen such powerful techniques or insights. The average psychologist, cold reader, magician, or mentalist doesn’t know these “beyond secret” methods. You could start a cult with this! Far too powerful to be released publicly. Please take your Ultimate NLP Home Study Program package off the market—especially now that I own it.” –Joe Vitale – Author, 2000
“I am smiling and my heart is beating a little bit faster now, Rex. We go all the way back to the last century and me finding my way in many ways at that point. You helped me during that point because I learned NLP, and some of the communication material came from you. I was sitting at your feet and learning how to apply it in my life and career.
Freedom can be yours BUT if you do nothing, nothing changes!
You sent me cassettes Rex way back in the 1990s, and these were cassettes on communication and NLP. And we had exchanged some things and we had talked and you were very kind to me and very generous with me. I religiously listened to everything I am always studying, always growing, always working on myself and maybe even more intensely back then. Thank you Rex!Joe Vitale -Author, appeared in ‘The Secret’, 2022

“I give this course a massive thumbs up! And to put it into perspective I was already an NLP trainer when I came across this course some years back and I was blown away by the content in it and the way it is taught. Rex really knows his stuff and the content is amazing. But it! I mean every word.” Barry Neale – NLP trainer 2021
“My personal development journey took a turn for the better back in 1996 when I was fortunate enough to be trained and mentored by Rex Steven Sikes. It’s been my ongoing wish that Rex would put his personal and professional development insights, his unique accelerated learning techniques, and basic to advanced mindset strategies (what he’s rightfully termed Mind Design™) into a book. He’s finally done it and he’s held nothing back. Rex equips you with everything you need to live a more empowered life… He was the first person to really challenge me with the idea that to change my life, I had to change myself first. His concept of 100% Self-responsibility has served me so much in my life, it’s now the cornerstone of all my training and coaching as well. He states, “When you accept full responsibility for everything going on, you begin to access your inner strengths and power. When you accept responsibility your mind begins to look for solutions because you are responsible.” Bottom line: I’m a better coach, trainer, entrepreneur, husband, and parent because of Rex.”Joe Soto – International Marketing Coach
“I am beyond happy to call Rex Sikes my mentor and friend. (Yesterday he was was kind enough to be my Valentine’s too lol) seriously though. I’m so happy to have invested into his NLP home study course. Which he has taught many successful people in the past 40 years. Here’s a testimony from Joe Vitale from the movie the secret. If anyone is interested in joining the course. Please feel free to reach out to me.” Lynn Serrano – TV host, 2022
