He Overcame Great Fear And So Can You

“Got an email and wanted to share it. It’s from a Doctor in Atlanta, GA whom I first met in 1996. It’s about a classmate of his with a phobia of flying that happened as a result of getting shot down in Viet Nam, being the lone survivor, all his friends died and then having to get out of there. A real nightmare in Viet Nam.

Here goes

To: Rex
Subject: A voice from the past

Hi Rex,

Hope you are well. It’s been a very long time. I don’t expect you to remember me but I was a student of yours back in January of 1996. It was the master practitioner class with all men.

We were about 12 or 13 of us as the time. Remember the American Indian we called “Chief” with a phobia of flying? And the priest that when he laughed he looked like he was in such pain. His laughing seemed so incongruent and odd.

At the time I had a mentor I spent a lot of time with learning some of the secrets of the universe. He really taught me so much and I am so grateful. He even pushed me to take seminars with the leaders in the field of self–development in order to have a comparison to what I was learning with him.

So I traveled around and spent a lot of time, energy, and money seeking out and studying with the best educators in the field.

However, when I took your class I thought it was the best of the best.

The class was curious and fascinating and intriguing and fun and amazing on so many levels all at the same time. It was obvious to me you put your all into the class and unlike a lot of other instructors you were not afraid to address certain topics or our “therapeutic” issues. You didn’t run from them but rather you addressed them head on with the outcome of truly helping us.

For example, remember “Chief” was a Vietnam Veteran that had a phobia of flying. Side note- Chief and I happened to check in out the front desk of the hotel at the same time. I did not know he would be in class but I did notice he was this tall imposing figure, wearing a cowboy hat and a leather jacket with tassels, along with a definitive energy about him.

When the front desk receptionist asked him “do you have a reservation” he responded “Damn right I do!” I thought that was so funny.

The following day I was surprised to see him in class and he explained that he drove from Arizona to Milwaukee from his “reservation” to be in the class. He did not come to the class for you to cure him of his phobia but after you learned he had one you asked if he wanted to get rid of it. My previous experience with instructors at seminars was to staying away from issues.

We learned he had this fear because his helicopter was shot down in Vietnam and he was the only one of 6 that survived and unfortunately he witnessed his brothers covered in blood and missing limbs. This was ingrained in his memory. So having a fear of flying was understandable and reasonable.

Well you brought him up in front of the class and you were very respectful of his feelings every step of the way and somehow in about 45 minutes he said he was cured!!!! To prove it, the next day on your dime you took us all out to a local airport and rented a small 2 seater Cessna plane for him to go up and fly and test if he was cured.

Surprisingly, Chief had no reservations (lol) of getting into the plane and getting in the air again. He eagerly hopped right in. When the plane landed he was not frazzled but ecstatic that he could fly again and now he could travel easier to places he’s wanted to go.

I remember we all circled him, congratulated him and we all spontaneously started jumping up and down as though we won the World Series!

There were so many other amazing things that took place in that class but how you were able to get the priest to laugh, I don’t know! I mean he sincerely laughed from the belly and it did not seem like it was hurting him but rather he was enjoying it.

You truly changed his life! I wonder if he stayed in the priesthood after that class?

Anyways. I just wanted to write you and let you know I still think about your class and in addition to my mentor the work you did in that class was/is second to none! We had so much fun learning in that class even though the days were long.

So thank you and thank you for the effort you put into all of us. I am truly appreciative and recognized the artistry and mastery of what you were doing. It truly was and still is my favorite seminar!

I hope you have been well over the years! Would love to hear what you have been up to.

All the Best,

Dr. Michael Procaccini

Well there it is. Fond memories. Great to hear about that time so long ago

I will add, yes, I paid to take him up in plane which nearly gave me a phobia.

We arrived at airport, go to plane and it is rickety and held together with masking tape and wire. NOT really, but it wasn’t far from that. ‘Chief’ sat next to the pilot. I was in the back – you could see through the floor of the plane and between the wall and the seat the ground thousand feet below. It was scary indeed how badly that plane needed repair.

Back on the ground felt REALLY good.

Yes, he was a different person and flew after that. So, have I but I’d prefer never to fly in a small plane like that again – and have not.

I saw the priest about a month later accidentally or coincidentally in Santa Monica and have previously written about that meeting in this Daily Inspiration and Gratitude blog – meeting Father Terry.

Anyway, delighted to receive and felt like sharing.

Much love, peace and blessings! Celebrate Everything!” Rex Sikes

The Secret To True Growth and Success

“Many of us were and are still taught that to improve we need to focus on our weaknesses. We were told by parents, teachers, or mentors that by identifying where we fall short and working tirelessly to overcome those areas, we could become better versions of ourselves. This idea has been ingrained in us, but what if this approach is fundamentally flawed? Think about it. What if you could be brilliant at something else?

My message: Stop focusing on your weaknesses. Instead, develop your strengths! This isn’t just motivational advice, it’s a roadmap to achieving greater satisfaction, confidence, and success. Why is focusing on weakness ineffective? Imagine you are bad at public speaking. It’s something that makes you uncomfortable, and every time you try, it feels like a struggle. Conventional wisdom says to keep practicing.

Spend hours on it until you improve. But here’s the question: How long will it take before you go from poor to mediocre? In the meantime, all your natural talents, what you’re already good at, are being neglected. You’re putting energy into something that isn’t your strength, and your progress is slow. While it’s important to develop basic skills, devoting your energy to areas where you have no passion isn’t worth it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Doing so can diminish your confidence and lead to burnout. Realize, however, what I wrote. I said if you have no passion. If you are only doing it because you think you should but have no actual desire to do it, the likelihood you follow through is slim. What you focus on expands. If you focus on what you lack, you only see more limitations. But if you direct your attention to your strengths, those areas where you excel.

By enhancing what you are passionate about you create momentum. The things you’re good at begin to flourish and bring you more success. Developing your strengths gives you the edge. Take Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group. Branson has admitted that he’s not detail-oriented and often struggles with numbers. Instead of dwelling on this. he surrounded himself with people who could handle the finer details of running a business.

Branson focused on his strengths, his vision, creativity, and risk-taking. As a result, he built a multi-billion-dollar empire by leveraging what he was best at and letting others fill in the gaps. Many athletes focus on perfecting the aspects of their game that they’re already good at. Michael Jordan was an incredible scorer and competitor. Instead of spreading himself thin trying to be the best at everything, he focused on honing his scoring ability.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It was this strength that made him legendary. So, imagine now what you could achieve if you applied this principle to your life. What if you spent more time on what you’re already good at and took it to the next level? What if you focused on your natural abilities and fine-tuned them until they became world-class? Therse’s a confidence that comes from strength. When you focus on your strengths, something remarkable happens.

You become more confident. Confidence is a product of success, not the other way around. The more you win, the more confident you feel. And the best way to win is by leveraging what you’re naturally good at. Get it. Winners, win. That’s what they get good at. Confidence comes from knowing your strengths and using them to your advantage. Focus on your strengths. You set yourself up for continuous wins.

You build more self-assurance with every success. Consider someone who excels at problem-solving but struggles with presenting their ideas to others. Rather than fixating on their weakness, they can double down on their problem-solving skills, becoming so proficient that others seek them out for solutions. As their reputation grows, they’ll naturally gain more confidence, and that confidence will extend to other areas, including public speaking.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Again, if you spend all your time focusing on your weaknesses, you’re likely to end up frustrated and unmotivated. But when you focus on your strengths, you set yourself up for continuous winning and build your self-assurance with every success. Develop your strengths. Focusing on your strengths isn’t about ignoring your weaknesses. Instead, it’s about putting most of your energy into areas where you naturally excel.

Do that while managing your weaknesses in ways that don’t drain you. If you’re not good with numbers, hire a good accountant. If you’re uncomfortable with technology, collaborate with someone who thrives in that space. By working on your strengths, you can achieve exceptional levels of success, creativity, and satisfaction. You’re able to soar where you might have otherwise only limped along.

“It is wiser to start at the top and go higher than to begin at the bottom and work your way up to the middle. “When you start with what you’re already good at, the sky’s the limit. One of my students, Sally, was a graphic designer with an incredible eye for aesthetics but struggled with client management and budgeting. For years, she worked hard to get better at balancing accounts, scheduling, and managing complex client relationships. The result? She was mediocre at best in those areas. She was close to burnout.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The frustration of constantly trying to improve her weaknesses led her to nearly quit the profession she loved. We worked together and she decided to take a different approach. She hired a project manager to handle client communications and budget tracking, freeing her to focus solely on her design work. As she shifted her energy to refining her already exceptional design skills, her work quality improved dramatically.

Sally started winning high-profile clients, and with her enhanced focus on design, her portfolio grew. By focusing on her strengths and letting others handle her weak points, She tripled her income in less than two years. She also felt more creative and fulfilled, finding joy again in her work. When Jake came to me he was a talented software engineer, highly skilled in writing code, but he felt socially awkward during meetings.

For a long time, Jake focused on improving his communication skills, attending workshops, and practicing presentations. But the improvements were marginal, and every failed meeting seemed to crush his spirit a little more. Through our work together Jake started playing to his strengths. He communicated his ideas through written reports and demonstrations of his code, letting his work speak for itself.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

His problem-solving abilities were so strong that he started to get recognized for his technical skills rather than his public speaking. Eventually, management assigned him a partner who excelled at presentations, allowing him to focus on his coding genius. By shifting his energy to his strengths, Jake not only advanced in his career but also regained his confidence. Get this. Develop your strengths. Win. Then you’ll have time for the other. Prioritize!

Here’s a practical exercise to help you identify and develop your strengths:

Make a List of Your Strengths: Sit down and think about the activities that come naturally to you. These are often the things you enjoy doing and feel excited about. Feel the good feels as you discover these.
Reflect on Your Wins: Think about the times in your life when you’ve felt the most successful. What strengths were you using in those moments? Take time to savor these feelings! Write them down.
Focus on Development: Pick one or two key strengths and make a commitment to developing them further. For example, if you’re good at writing, how can you become a better writer? Can you take a course or dedicate more time to practicing?
Delegate Weaknesses: Identify areas where you struggle and think about how you can minimize or delegate these tasks. Is there someone else who can handle them better, allowing you to focus on your strengths? There are plenty of things I am not good at and should not be doing. Spend your time wisely.
Celebrate Your Wins: As you develop your strengths, celebrate each small win. Feel these feelings. Savor then. Celebrate. This builds confidence and momentum, making it easier to stay motivated and focused.

Stop wasting time trying to fix what you’re not good at. Focus on what you are great at and make it even better. Your strengths are where your potential is and by developing them, you can reach new levels of success and satisfaction in your life. The world rewards expertise, not mediocrity. So why spend your time becoming “okay” at something when you could be excelling at what you’re already naturally good at?

Remember, what you focus on expands. So, focus on your best. Develop your strengths. Create a life that truly reflects your unique abilities and passions. Understand you are one-of-a-kind. You are a gift to the world. Develop your talents and abilities to let your gift get known. Outsource what you aren’t so good at, so you can further develop your talents and abilities. Make the most of what you got by excelling at it and you and others will benefit. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Secret Formula To Succeed: You Must Become Competent

“‘Confidence builds success and success builds confidence. Confidence is important but how does one build confidence? If the successful person wants to achieve something she goes after it. It never occurs to a successful person that she might not get it. If she wants it she gets it. How do you build this kind of success? Where do you begin? First, you begin right from where you are.

How would you begin to learn to walk a tightrope 60 feet in the air? Would you climb to the top of the ladder and just step out on faith? Most assuredly you would not. Not if you are smart! Trying it without knowing how would most likely bring disaster. The way to learn to walk a tightrope is by putting safety first. You begin with the tightrope lying on the ground!

You walk on the tightrope ON THE GROUND. A tightrope is a large rope. It’s not your everyday variety. You put the rope on the ground and learn to walk along it. Once you can do this you raise the tightrope a few inches off the ground. Then you raise it to a foot, then three feet, six feet and then 10. You never go any higher than you can successfully walk it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

However long it takes to walk from low to high is how long it takes. There’s no need to rush. Your confidence will grow as your competence grows. As you do it and are successful you ought to feel confident. You shouldn’t feel confident about being a tightrope walker until after you are. BUT you should feel confident you can LEARN to and be successful at it.

NOTICE the difference. You aren’t deluded about being a great tightrope walker until you are one. BUT you do know that as you practice it you can become one! This is important. Confidence grows as your competence grows. The only confidence you need to begin is that if you try it and learn to do it correctly you can learn it, improve it and succeed at doing it. Be confident you can learn it.

Before you know it you are walking way up high. You first acquire the skill close to the earth. Once accomplished you go to the next level up. You learn to walk a tightrope in increments. You master the skill at lower heights to build the confidence needed to move to higher heights. You progress incrementally. Once you have succeeded at a particular height you feel confident.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Success breeds confidence and that confidence breeds more success. You feel ready to move on. You know you can do it so you aren’t afraid to try. You have no doubt or fears. You know you will succeed because you have built a track record of successes. NOW apply this thinking to getting your goals and making your dreams come true. Know you can learn to do it and do it step by step.

Set the goal you wish to accomplish small enough you believe you can attain it, but large enough it’s still fun to go after. This is important! Make it small enough that you ABSOLUTELY believe you could do it, without question, you are capable. You expect to succeed. You don’t want to be scared off by it. You want to have it small enough you know you can succeed but not so big you don’t try.

If your goal is to make lots of money and if you’ve never made much, you need to set your sights smaller at first. Work your way up but start with something you know you can achieve. If you’ve never made much money, before you set your sights on millions, choose an amount, that while it’s a stretch, you know you can realistically make it happen. Read that again and embrace it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It will be a stretch, but you can do it. First aim for an amount you are sure you can make. Then as you make that, increase the amount. Increase again. Why? Because as you win you will create momentum. Keep the momentum alive by incrementally stretching yourself to the next amount. If you do this and hit your target each time you are growing your success muscle.

The more you succeed the easier it gets the next time. The stretch is there but you grow accustomed to stretching. Instead of scaring you off, you think, let me at it. Why/ Because winning and succeeding becomes a habit for you. Step by step you made it happen. Step by step you succeed. Imagine how you’d feel if you doubled your income?

Once you’ve achieved that goal and you enjoy the confidence that comes with it, set a larger goal. Perhaps, you aim at 150K. Once you accomplish this and feel that success, aim for maybe 300 or 500K. Again, stretch a bit more. You put the goal just outside your reach but not so far outside that you doubt you could get it. You must believe you can succeed to succeed!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You want to build into your mental mindset this success factor; ‘I can get my goals. I can make my dreams come true,’ How you know that’s an accurate statement that you can trust IS because you have the wins to prove it. You have been setting goals and accomplishing them. You’ve created a history of winning and succeeding. You know you are the sort of person who can go after what you want and get it. You keep winning! Confidence grows as your competence grows. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

If you want your life to change you must change things in your life. The first and most important update is changing your attitude! Your attitude is comprised of your beliefs and expectations. It’s those thoughts you repeatedly think that keep you the same OR that move you forward to greater and more wonderful results.

How To Be At Home In Your Own Skin

“I’m going to share some simple principles, practices and steps to building better confidence in this and other blogs. I first want to further review the qualities and characteristics of one who is truly confident and at home in one’s own skin. One who knows and trusts oneself operates very differently from others who do not. For example, A self-confident person She doesn’t let circumstances distract her from what is important.

She is open to feedback and flexible and adaptive while remaining true to her purpose. Defeat and negative circumstances are temporary and considered learning experiences. Even though no one can see the future or know everything a self-confident person expects whatever comes along to work out for the very best. He expects to land on her feet. A self-confident person expresses optimism and positivity during difficulty.

Because he knows he doesn’t know everything he expects troubles to turn into triumphs, good things always ultimately come to those who know that they will. A self-confident person doesn’t use their five senses to determine the results in the world. The self-confident person knows successful results start within her. She knows that believing is seeing and not the other way around. She doesn’t let circumstances distract her.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

She stays committed to what’s important. She is open to feedback and flexible and adaptive while remaining true to her purpose. Defeat and negative circumstances are temporary and considered learning experiences. A self-confident person knows they are never finished. He stays open and is eager to learn. He learns from everything. He enjoys everything and looks for the silver lining in each dark cloud.

He believes that what he will manifest, should it take some time, is still coming to him and he does not get caught in doubt, worry or fear. He believes. He believes in himself and his ability to create his future! She reads, listens to inspiring speakers and audios, attends events, finds coaches and mentors and continues to develop herself. She always maintains her positive practice. Her dedication sees her through everything.

A self-confident person is willing to change. If you want your life to change, you must change things in your life. You must drop the old habits that don’t serve you and develop ones that do. A self-confident person co-operates with others, is friendly and cheerful because there is no reason not to be. Others are accepted and not judged. A self-confident person realizes that he decides. A self-confident person confidently decides.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The choices are hers, so she lets others be whomever they are. She also accepts herself completely. He knows if he needs to change something about himself or learn something different, he can and will. The self-confident person makes no excuses for him or herself. He accepts responsibility. She knows the buck stops her. In these ways the self-confident person is filled with energy and positive power. They don’t leak power, they exude it.

The self-confident person stays focused passionately on her purpose. She stays focused on what she wants to create. Because she does, she creates more. He is easy going. He smiles and laughs more. He relaxes and does what he enjoys. Life is good, life is great, life is grand. He is playful. She is inspiring without being preachy. She leads by example and from the front. She knows where she is headed and so she goes there joyfully.

“He knows life and improvement is a process and that some things take time. She lives to the fullest while fully engaged in the process. The self-confident person makes the world a better place for self and others! Are you confident in yourself? Do you make the world a better place? If not, future blogs will discuss how you can. Enjoy learning and growing and making your dreams come true. You can be the person you always dreamed yourself to be. Being your best means adopting a positive attitude, living from a higher purpose and sense of well-being, and developing competence and confidence. Celebrate everything! ” Rex Sikes

This Is Confidence And How You Can Have It

“What is self-confidence? It is the deep abiding belief in oneself and in one’s abilities to make whatever one desires come true. It’s not egotistical, boastful, rude or abusive. A self confident person is not a bully because a self-confident person doesn’t have to be. The self-confident person loves and accepts himself. She accepts and loves others too. A self-confident person knows in his heart and mind he will succeed.

She is focused and expects everything to work out on her behalf. She knows she’s 100% responsible for making her dreams come true. He’s unstoppable and persists in making things happen. She does not give up. A self-confident person rejoices when a colleague advances. There’s no envy or resentment because the self-confident person isn’t in competition with anyone else.She acknowledges when others succeed.

He’s happy for them. If there’s competition it’s for the self-confident person to better himself today and tomorrow. She competes with herself to be her personal best. A self-confident person doesn’t whine or complain about others, circumstance, politics, religion, the economy or the world at large. If there are problems a self-confident person works to overcome the problem by focusing on the solutions.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

He doesn’t waste time complaining about things because he knows none of that has anything to do with his success. She knows if it’s going to happen it will be up to her and her attitude. If she’s going to manifest her dreams there are no obstacles that can prevent her. She will prevail because she will persist. The self-confident person succeeds and wins the game of life because he expects to win. He knows it is a game.

He treats it that way. He has fun and enjoys the process. He’s not defeated by challenges but enjoys them. She lives life fully accepting herself and others and thinking the best of both. She is optimistic and has a bright outlook on her future. She has a deep faith in her heart, a knowingness that she will make wonderful things happen. A self-confident person can be at peace within himself. He’s nothing to prove.

He doesn’t have to ‘crush’ others. He’s at home within himself. Develop your competence and you’ll develop your confidence. Become good at what you are able to do and your confidence will increase too. Develop the confidence to know you can learn anything you dedicate yourself to. Confidence is an attitude. Develop your attitude. Remember, winners, win! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

More Is Revealed When… My Money Manifest #14

“Something you might enjoy knowing. In, ‘The Supernatural’ authored by Lyman Abbott, in an address delivered before the Alumni of Bangor Theological Seminary, he writes ‘We are coming to think of God as dwelling in man rather than as operating on men from without.’ Further he quotes Herbert Spencer, originator of the phrase ‘survival of the fittest’ who made the following statement. Understand these.

‘Amid all the mysteries by which we are surrounded, nothing is more certain than that we are ever in the presence of an Infinite and an Eternal Energy from which all things proceed.’ New Thought proponents began to realize that consciousness is one. All is divine. The creator and creation are not separate. The parts or of the whole. The whole is in the parts. There is no division, there is only unity. Now, get this.

You can only understand what you’re capable of understanding. You evolve in awareness. You become aware and able to think and do things that moments ago and years ago were not possible in your mind. Once it becomes possible within it becomes possible without. Revelation is progressive. You grow in awareness. The divine reveals divine nature to you as you develop the capacity to accept it. Get it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It’s why we didn’t have rocket ships a hundred years ago. Everything is eventually revealed. You see only in part. You think as a child. Understanding comes to you in process. You progress. Remember, Unconscious Incompetence ‘I don’t know it.‘ Conscious Incompetence, ‘I know I don’t know it.’ Conscious Competence ‘I’m Learning It.’ Unconscious Competence ‘It’s now habit.’ l Corinthians 13:9-12 states…

‘For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.’

You can’t handle what you don’t know. You can’t handle what you aren’t ready to handle. Life is preparation. Life is revelation. Life is acquiring experience and evolution. Life is change. Energy IS. Everything vibrates, moves and transforms. You are moving through space even though you can’t tell. You are changing even though you may think you are stuck. ‘This too will pass.’ Transform yourself.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Charles Haanel wrote ‘The greatest and most marvelous power which this “I” has been given is the power to think, but few people know how to think constructively, or correctly, consequently they achieve only indifferent results. Most people allow their thoughts to dwell on selfish purposes, the inevitable result of an infantile mind.’ Who is this ‘I’? It’s your authentic self. It’s who you were before conditioning.

‘When a mind becomes mature, it understands that the germ of defeat is in every selfish thought. The trained mind knows that every transaction must benefit every person who is in any way connected with the transaction, and any attempt to profit by the weakness, ignorance or necessity of another will inevitably operate to his disadvantage. This is because the individual is a part of the Universal…’

‘A part cannot antagonize any other part, but, on the contrary, the welfare of each part depends upon a recognition of the interest of the whole. Those who recognize this principle have a great advantage in the affairs of life. They do not wear themselves out. They can eliminate vagrant thoughts with facility. They can readily concentrate to the highest possible degree on any subject.’

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

‘They do not waste time or money upon objects which can be of no possible benefit to them. 9. If you cannot do these things, it is because you have thus far not made the necessary effort. Now is the time to make the effort. The result will be exactly in proportion to the effort expended.’

It is up to you to expend the effort to make the right decision and to commit to the process until you master it. At first, you know nothing of it. You don’t know it exists or is possible. You don’t know what you don’t know. BUT for whatever reason, you get a glimpse on your journey. You come to realize there is something more and you begin to desire it. If you continue, you engage in the process. You practice.

You talk and walk your way through it, adjusting and benefiting from feedback. You learn the correct principles and practices and commit to rehearsing them until you wire them in. You repeat the practice correctly, frequently, consistently for long enough until it becomes a reliable, automatic, useful habit. Once developed Unconscious Competence serves you without having to think about it, though you can.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You must understand this principle. From impossible to possible is how things work. From it’s possible, you could do it. Maybe not but you could. From could you begin to imagine ‘I can.’ From ‘I can’ you move to ‘I will’ from ‘I will’ to ‘I’m doing it.‘ From I am doing it you move to, ‘Done! I did it.’ The more you attempt to do, the more you learn you can do more. You become capable of doing new things better.

The better you get, the easier it gets. The easier it gets, the better you get. What first seems impossible gets easier with consistent, persistent, correct rehearsal or practice. Whether it’s managing your thoughts, feelings, speech and behaviors you get better the more you do it. Practice makes it permanent. Correct practice matters. Wire in the correct positive practice and it becomes a reliable powerful habit!

Your life transforms because you become the kind of person for whom this new talent and skill is easy to use to create a wonderful experience. From within to without you transform yourself and your circumstances. It is a process. You are never truly ‘done’ you keep getting better and better. Mastery is a life-long process whereby you learn more and can do more.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Wherever you are in the process, celebrate you are in the process. Others complain. If you learn to celebrate and appreciate the journey more can be revealed! What you resist, persists. Recognize the opportunity and possibility for you and revel in it. Savor it. Delight in it. Be glad and grateful for wherever you are. Continue to rehearse but do it with love, enthusiasm and enjoyment. More to come. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What Exactly Is A Mastermind And Its Value

“A mastermind is a special collection of people in form and function. Each person has a specialized role to fulfill. The group includes a manager to keep all in harmony while dedicated to one definite chief purpose. For Carnegie it was the mining, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales of steel. Together the collective can do more than one person alone. It’s not about self, but the group.

It’s why each person has a function as Carnegie admitted he knew nothing about any of the above, but his mastermind experts did. There’s a vast difference between a mastermind and a masterclass. They are different and serve different functions. Today, some use the name mastermind incorrectly. It’ not a collection of brainstormers who come together to improve their individual efforts through coaching.

Or anything else for that matter. It’s a priceless collection of people put together to accomplish a specific task. Both groups are valuable but are not the same nor serve the same purpose. Knowing the difference is a good thing. My hope is people are invited to join masterminds that add value to the team and the planet. Hill points out that two people in a committed relationship can be a mastermind.

Why? Because they’re dedicated to making their relationship work together in harmony and can support each other in the process. They aren’t just working on getting their needs met from each other, which is important. We should give and receive. They can work towards a greater good because of their harmonious union. Together we’ve more energy to direct at a definite chief purpose than alone.

Create The Life You Want!

Batteries connected have greater power than a single battery. Get this. When we unite around a singular purpose in complete harmony it’s infused with much more energy to help make it happen. Harmony is crucial. Not all unions are masterminds. They could be but not all relationships are harmonious. United positivity, harmony, and right thinking and action plus persistence make it happen.

You don’t pay to belong to a mastermind but are compensated by the founder because without that specialized expertise in a specialized role the mastermind doesn’t function as intended. It’s not a group to serve the members, although members can and do benefit, but harmonious individuals together serving the purpose of the group. Whether the compensation is cash or something else doesn’t matter.

You pay for a class or brainstorming group to have value added to you and to be a contributor to others. This is not the same as a mastermind. It’s all good. And if we want to understand Hill’s work so we can benefit from it maximally, it is important for each of us to understand what he was offering. The mastermind is a very special group of people working in HARMONY toward one specific positive end.

You don’t join a ‘mastermind’ to succeed in your business. That is a master class. You are invited to join a mastermind because your expertise is needed for a specific greater purpose because one person cannot accomplish it alone. Brainstorming can be a part of this but it’s the purpose of a mastermind that is important to recognize. Carnegie, Ford, Edison are all mentioned as examples. Consider this.

Create The Life You Want!

An example from my background that’s relevant but not perfect is a motion picture or television production. Experts come together to produce a vision and put it on the screen. From development to viewers experts in different roles are enlisted to make it happen. It however, is not governed as a mastermind with the harmony and principles guiding it as Hill suggests. Right governance is crucial.

Harmony is desired in these productions. There are different departments and development teams that are put together by a head or heads of production. This is the structure of a mastermind but may or may not embrace and embody the spirit of a mastermind. As mentioned, harmony is desired. Those who don’t fit, break rules or grumble may be dismissed. If you don’t fit in or break rules, you’re gone.

The most difficult aspect is having all working together have the same mission. A collection of people can have different desires, ambitions, and understanding of what they are doing. A producer or director and the team may not be on the same page about what content they are bringing to the viewer. This can show up in a movie that turns out scattered and flawed. We’ve all seen confusing and bad movies.

The goal is to put the money on the screen and have all working make the same movie but that doesn’t happen much. That is the purpose of a mastermind. Everyone is supposed to share the same mission and vision. They have a definite chief purpose and are clear about it. There is a clarity of vision they all agree on. Remember, definiteness of purpose. Clarity. Specificity. One united purpose is a challenge.

Create The Life You Want!

Not everyone shares the vision. We say in production the goal is to get the director’s vision on the screen. That is a difficult undertaking because of our individual ambitions and understanding as I mentioned previously. Working together all on the same page for a definite purpose with a definite chief aim is why we bring others together in a mastermind. It is delicate and tricky. It’s worthwhile.

One cannot do what a qualified mastermind can. A good team can be helpful, but a good team could be a mastermind but usually isn’t. Hopefully, you are beginning to understand the importance of the principles and practices in putting together, managing and working together in a mastermind. Yes, two people can be a mastermind as Hill points out. Not every group fulfills the criteria of the mastermind.

They may have other elements. Desire, Faith, Persistence. Planning. Organized knowledge. Imagination but if the purpose and harmony isn’t there, it’s not a mastermind. Think of going on a camping or fishing trip. You want to bring the people who are there to also have fun. They enjoy each other. There is support. You don’t bring complainers and dividers. You seek the best for the purpose you have.

It may be safe to say all mastermind groups are teams made up of team players but not all teams or team players are a mastermind or part of one. Remember, Ford, Carnegie and others believed in, managed and maintained the mastermind in their business. There are other examples, again not perfect, but you get the idea. A sport team. However, whatever the endeavor it’s not about stars.

Create The Life You Want!

It’s about cooperation and harmony, individual expertise working together on a SHARED definite chief purpose and aim. It’s not about showboating or grandstanding. It is about adding value to all those in the mastermind and those benefiting from the mastermind’s purpose and efforts. It is about exponential, bigger energy than just one. It is about agreement and creation. It’s not replaceable.

Besides needed expertise it’s important to have a pleasing personality and embrace the other understandings in Laws of Success and Think and Grow Rich to become a valued member of a mastermind. If you are invited to participate in a mastermind, it’s important to be of the right mind and right action. It IS why Hill spends time on personality and the other important principles.

Many things matter. On the road to becoming more successful, transforming yourself into someone others want and need to include is priceless. When others need you because you provide great value and are great to be around you can go further faster. What’s in it for them must be your primary directive because serving them is how your needs can be met too. Remember Rex’s rule. GO FIRST.

Go first by putting them first! Put them first and everything else can fall into place. Get this and you get a lot. The role of each member in the mastermind is service. It is dedication to the masterminds’ purpose for being. The more you think on serving others and go beyond what is required of you the more successful you can be. So, best wishes to you and each of us in our journey toward creating more excellence for all to share. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Think You Need Confidence To Do It: Pt 3 Final

“You’ve mastered many things in life. Some productive and great. Some not so great and burdensome. Because you’ve done both you can decide which to master for the future. You can choose to master the good or not. Your choice. Which you choose creates your future.

You can live in the past from negative conditioning OR you can choose to act differently. You can! Choose to let that past go. Choose to live as that tenacious child! Start right where you are in spite, of your past conditioning and move forward. Choose!

When you believe you can do something it makes doing it a bit easier. Believe you can accomplish you goals. It provides extra juice, hope, courage and tenacity for getting the results you want. If you don’t believe in yourself, it’s tougher. Thinking helps make it so!

I Think I Can – I Think I Can – I Think I Can – Becomes I Know I Can

You’ll never move if you aren’t confident, or certain, you are able. Think confidently. You can get your outcomes! You must have faith. Develop unwavering faith you can make happen what you say you will. You can do this! You win when you adopt a champion mindset.

You don’t need to get all pumped up. You can have the quiet conviction you can steer your ship through troubled waters if necessary. Make yourself believe you can. Then, take whatever positive action it requires to make your dreams come true.

Affirmations and Directed Question™ help you. Create positive, powerful, I CAN mantras. Enthusiastically chant them during the day. Think, believe and exclaim powerfully you can, you will and you have! Chant you’re more than capable of learning to be it and do it!

Keep Going Until You Get There – That Is All You Need To Do

‘I can learn to feel confident. I can discover myself feeling good. I wonder how many incredible powerful feelings I can find myself feeling during the day? I like who I am! I feel good about myself. I am learning to feel incredible. I am powerful? I can do it! I’m fantastic! I’m a great learner.’

Let go of reasons ‘why’ you can’t. Look for, and wrap yourself in, the reasons why you can! No matter how difficult it seems, look for solutions, not at the problems. Turn your attention to the small, baby steps you can, and will, take consistently to move you forward.

That’s what the infant did. The infant made small micro muscle movements again and again and again, correcting as necessary, to hone the skills and behaviors of balancing and feeding and whatever was learned at the time. You and I can do that still. Take tiny steps.

Winners Aren’t People Who Never Fail But Ones Who Don’t Quit

Figure out what you want. Go for it. Make tiny, positive, daily progressive steps towards accomplishing your goal. If you want to make more money what do you need to learn? Do some research. Who do you have to call? What do you have to sell? Look into it!

What are the resources around you? What can you do? If you think nothing, that you can’t do anything, then you aren’t thinking very hard, or well. There’s always some positive, small, not that difficult step, you can take to move forward. Explore, think and discover!

Ask yourself, ‘What do I want to accomplish? What step can I take? What can I do? Break down what you want to carry out. Chunk it into small, manageable and winnable bits. Once you take your first step, repeat the process. Just do one step after the other. Get it?

Adjust And Continue – You Can Always Find Or Create A Way

A little progress at a time is better than no progress. If you do nothing you’ll be in the same place days, weeks, months and years from now. Do a small bit each day. That will take you further faster. Begin now. Determine what you want. Move on it. GO FOR IT!

I end each blog with find things to be grateful for. It’s repetitious. It’s meant to be! I repeat things over and over because these ARE important and it takes repeated exposure to sink it. Anything worth learning and having is worth repeating! Once is never enough.

Take tiny steps then you’ll feel you are a winner each time you complete the step. Make them small enough you do them. Keep your commitment. Nothing makes one feel like a failure quicker than breaking your promises to self or others. Keep your commitment!

Believe You Can – Develop Certainty Based On The Evidence

Find your way. Drop the excuses! Take charge. Live fully. Feel grateful. Manage your thoughts. Be thankful. Choose how you will make it be. Appreciate everything. Take another step. Express gratitude. Feel the gratitude fully. Inch by inch you’ll get there.

Realize this and feel wonderful! Feel blessed. Do it and you’ll feel more confident. Your competence increases with your confidence. AND your confidence increases with your competence. GET IT? Take more winning steps. Feel like a winner as you do. You’ll get winning results all along the way. Journey well. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Think You Need Confidence To Do It: Pt 2

“One needs to behave and learn as an infant does. The infant doesn’t know any fancy words like confidence or competence. The infant just keeps doing it until it becomes a successful habit! That’s how you learned to crawl, walk, feed yourself, talk and do anything.

It’s how you learned to do everything from birth through toddler. You did things without judgement. You learned to roll over, sit up, balance, crawl, walk, and feed yourself all without instruction or self-criticism. You just kept doing until you did it! You made it habit.

Imagine where you’d be if you’d given up anywhere along the line. What if you’d quit? Imagine what would have been the outcome had you thought ‘this is too hard. I can’t continue.’ What if you thought, ‘I’m not good enough to feed myself. I can never do this.’

Don’t Be Pushed By Your Problems – Be Led By Your Dreams

You didn’t judge or assess how difficult or how long things would take. You simply kept doing it repeatedly until you could. It didn’t matter how difficult. You kept doing it! At about the toddler stage the influences around you helped you to not be so tenacious.

You learned about ‘failure’ and ‘success’. You learned there were consequences and punishments and reasons to not do things. You learned how to get away with things. You learn defeat. You learned competition with others. You learned to lie to save face.

You learned to fudge results. You learned insecurity about doing. You became performance-conscious, self-conscious, and insecure. You learned to lack confidence. You learned to feel bad, shame or guilt over what you did or didn’t do. You made yourself wrong.

99% Of Everything You Do – You Learned Through Conditioning

You learned to worry, feel anxious or fear the future. You learned by words spoken to you, by example, by punishment, from authorities, peers and media. You learned to feel inadequate, to cover up. You learned to over-compensate. You learned to feel bad! Get it?

Prior to that there was no such thing as defeat. You just did it until you could do it! You mastered many major skills without thinking about it. You didn’t read books or need to get pumped up. You didn’t whine or complain. You just performed endlessly until you ‘got it’!

You were conditioned out of being tenacious and learned to be afraid. You gave away your power. That’s what happened back then. You can continue to whine, complain, make excuses and blame those who did their part to raise you or you can choose to change yourself.

Know That You Can Do It And You Can Become Unstoppable

Consider this: Some people assert confidently they have no, or need, confidence. Some people are confident they don’t have any! They’ll boldly exclaim they’re certain they have none. Do you get this? ‘I’m confident I have no confidence!’ They’re certain. Silly, right?

Consider this: Worry is negative planning for the future: fearing what may occur. Some people are certain things won’t work out. They are confident circumstances will be negative. Just as they’re certain they lack abilities or opportunities. Get it? Do you?

You can affirm something in the positive or you can affirm something in the negative. You can be certain things will work out or that they won’t work out. Confidence that you can is the same as confidence that you can’t! There is no difference in the feeling of certainty.

Follow Your Dreams – Believe In Yourself – Never Give Up

However, one form of confidence results in being able to do something positively, while the other results in you positively being unable to do something! One makes you feel good. The other makes you feel bad. Yet, some people are comfortable feeling bad.

So they don’t change. Aim your confidence at what you want to do in a positive way! This is how to use the feeling of confidence positively. Become confident. Believe that you can learn what to do bit by bit. Do it in steps and your confidence will increase too.

You’re in the process of discovering, learning, starting to gain skill in an area. As you gain the skill your confidence in your abilities will go hand in hand. Keep the faith that you can learn and you can master it. Keep doing it correctly, repeatedly, consistently for long enough and you will master the skill. Choose to learn and feel confident along the way. Notice your progress. Nurture it. Pat yourself on the back and celebrate it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Think You Need Confidence Or You Can’t Do: It Pt 1

“How important is confidence? Is it necessary? What about getting motivated? Do we really need to get pumped up before we get our tasks done? Some people don’t trust motivational gurus or seminars. Sometimes for good reason. So, what do we actually need?

Confidence is absolutely important. Competence is just as important. WISDOM is needed so you can discern when you should feel confident. YOU SHOULD be confident you can learn to do anything, and confident you can do it, once you’ve mastered it.

Both confidence and competence are part of the same set. One without the other isn’t beneficial. I don’t have to be confident I can walk over to the other side of the room and get a book from the shelf, today. I don’t need that because I’m already confident I can.

Believe In Yourself And Anything Is Possible

WHY? Because I have successfully done it many times. I am competent in doing it. I can be confident I’m capable. It’s ridiculous to be confident, ‘I can walk a tightrope hundreds of feet in the air,’ when you never have. Still, you can be confident you can LEARN to.

Be confident you can walk tightrope, after you become competent walking it from the ground on up in increasing height increments. 5 inches, 5 feet 15, 50. Then confidence makes sense. Be confident you can acquire the skill. Confidence goes with competence.

You should feel confidence grow as you acquire the ability. As you continue to gain mastery, your confidence increases. However, with mastery you acquire wisdom as to what you can do and what you shouldn’t. You learn humility because hubris could get you killed.

As You Gain Competence You Gain Confidence

People get hurt when over-confident; when they believe their ‘press’ over their competence. When they think they can do anything without proper training and preparation because they’re good. Be appropriately confident! Be competent! Don’t be full of yourself.

Next blog will discuss how and why we learn skills and fears. Your fears and what you may consider negative or a limitation are learned, too. They’re skills. You learned to have them just as, and along with, the positive skills and resources you learned to have. Realize this and you can begin to powerfully transform your thoughts, feelings and behavior habits to start getting remarkable results. Meanwhile, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“I am so grateful to have found you on my journey Rex Sikes you are doing amazing things for this world.” – Brian Alexander Cross Fit Owner Entrepreneur Chicago IL

“I am so glad I found Rex back in 1994 when I did my NLP and DHE with him. Although I have done training with many others over the years, it is clear to me that what I learned with Rex was the best of the best and went deep into my subconscious mind… I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be a part of this Mind Design training”. Kathy Strong, NLP Trainer and Coach, Bleadon, England

“I echo Brian’s sentiment. My life changed the day I first met you which is quite funny as I was in the middle of Tony Robbins year-long Mastery University but nothing I found there ever compared to what I discovered with you, and now, all these years later, Mind Design! You truly are the gift that goes on giving, our Rex xx” Kathy Strong, NLP Trainer and Coach, Bleadon, England
