Disappointment Archives - Rex Sikes' Daily Inspiration and Gratitude

Own Your Feelings And Reclaim Your Power

“Many believe our feelings are gifts, or curses, handed to us by others. They pull the strings, hold the reins or the leashes. BUT your emotional life is fully within your power. When someone lets you down, it’s not their fault you feel hurt or angry. It’s because you chose to let them hold your emotional reins. Take it back. You are responsible for your life and your feelings, not them.

Every time you rely on someone else to fulfill you, to deliver on a promise, to make you feel loved or to complete you, you’re handing over your control. You’re saying, ‘My happiness depends on you.’ When they don’t deliver, you feel betrayed. You’re disappointed but you created the conditions for it.

Someone once pointed out, ‘Disappointment requires adequate planning.’ You planned to be disappointed, by trusting someone else to carry your emotional load. But there’s freedom in owning this. When you accept that you are responsible for your feelings, you reclaim your power. True, someone might break a promise. Yes, the situation might be painful.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

But your response is yours. The moment you stop blaming and start choosing, you change everything. Think of your emotions as the driver, not the passenger. If you allow others to steer, you’ll end up off course. Instead, notice when you begin to depend on others to feel good. Catch that thought. Choose differently. Breathe. Say inwardly, ‘I choose my peace. I’m in charge.’

Then ask, ‘What’s my next step?’ You might say, ‘But they betrayed me.’ Okay. They might not keep their word. But you decided to let their actions define your inner world. That’s where the transformation shifts. It’s not about lowering your expectations. It’s about aligning your expectations with your own strength.

Adjust your internal planning so disappointment doesn’t sneak in. When you do this consistently, you stop reacting, blaming, shaming, resenting, and you start responding. You become a conscious creator in your own emotional life. Yes, it takes practice. But the first step is radical: own it all. Every single feeling. Today. Not tomorrow. I know, I’ve been doing this for decades.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It’s important to focus on cultivating emotional sovereignty. It’s not just about learning strategies but about practicing being the driver of your emotional state, even in the toughest moments. I give my students and clients practical tools for recognizing when you give your power away. How to shift your internal dialogue instead of blaming others to create greater freedom for yourself.

It’s important to know how to respond with calm clarity instead of reacting with emotion and to rebuild trust in yourself through micro-commitments. Small steps matter. I work to help you cultivate resilience, so you stand firm, even when the world shakes. Without hype, without platitudes, with direct methods rooted in neuroscience and real-world psychology.

One client, Teri, had relied on her partner’s validation for years. When he forgot her birthday, she spiraled. Through our work together, she learned how to anchor her self-worth within herself. Last year, she laughed, yes laughed, when her partner forgot again. Not because she didn’t care, but because she carried her own sense of value. That’s the kind of transformation you want.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

That’s the kind of transformation I teach. You want to go deep, not wide. I help you integrate thought-shifting techniques, emotional accountability exercises in my programs. While others offer pep talks and buzzwords, together we rebuild from the core, your identity as an independent, emotionally sovereign human being. It’s not about expecting less from others.

It’s about expecting more from yourself, to feel, to heal, to respond, to rise. When you take charge of your own heart, no one can steal your peace. No one can derail your purpose. This is your life. Your feelings. Your power. So run it deliberately. If you’re ready, I offer a path, a deeply transformative path back to yourself.

Join the people discovering calm in chaos, clarity in conflict, and grace in grief. Together, we’ll train your mind and heart to hold one unwavering truth: No one outside of you can determine your emotional state. When you own it all, you become unshakable. That’s real freedom. Intrigued? Let’s begin. Step into your emotional mastery today. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why Temporary Defeat Does Not Make Me Sad

“Napoleon Hill Foundation CEO Don Green graciously autographed the new book he published. It’s by Napoleon Hill titled ‘The 12 Miracles of Life.’* Prior to the forward, Hill wrote a message about life. I quote it below. The few words are poignant and can be life altering if and when you apply them. I share them because they’re important to share. They demonstrate the power of attitude on transformation. Hill understood this.

‘Temporary defeat does not make me sad. I simply set music to the world of defeat and turn it into a song. Your tears are not for me, for I like laughter much better, and because I like it, I use it as a substitute for grief and sorrow and pain and disappointment.’ He said, temporary defeat does not make… He is not a victim. He is not at the effect of something or someone else. He simply sets music to it. He does something. Get this.

He turns it into a song. That is what he does. It does nothing. He likes laughter better. He uses it as a substitute for grief, sorrow, pain and disappointment. He changes his thinking and the result changes. He is proactive. He responds to defeat by altering what HE does so that he thinks and feels better. This is the power you have. It IS the power to change. The power to transform yourself. The power to keep moving forward.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Remember, Hill pointed out that temporary defeat is adversity. Failure is quitting. If you quit, you’ve decided it is over. Why is defeat temporary? Because adversity can be overcome! Because all adversity has within it the equivalent seed of opportunity. If you look for it, you can find it. However, you must look. You must seek it. It requires you to do something, after all, everything is as everything is.

YOU are the difference if you understand this. YOU are the one who transforms and transmutes what is there or what is invisible. You are the one who finds the silver lining because you look for it. You change yourself to overcome adversity. If it is to be, it is up to me. Celebrate everything because you could transform hardship and adversity and make it work for you. You could, if only, you will. So, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes *Available online!

Imagine What It’d Be Like To Have Everything!

“Imagine what it might be like to have pretty much everything you could have. You could easily afford it. You had fancy cars, mansions, traveled by private jet, hobnobbed with celebrities, the rich and famous, and had a fabulous showbiz career. You have what you thought you and everyone wanted most in life. BUT what if all that didn’t matter, and you felt empty inside? You made it, sort of, but not really.

You had everything you thought you could want but you didn’t have what you needed most. Imagine that you got to the top to only discover that what you’d acquired didn’t make you happy. Feeling lost you tried all sorts of therapies to feel better, but still didn’t? It would suck, right? It does for so many that others wish they were like. They see the lifestyle and think ‘oooo’ but don’t see the pain and emptiness there too.

I want to share with you this true story about one of my coaching clients. Ive frequently been called to work with people like this person. They have everything except what makes them feel valued, loved, deserving, fulfilled and happy. What society tells us we must have and do to be ‘somebody’ often turns from a disappointing journey to a nightmare as people seek comfort through drugs and alcohol.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

A gentleman in the entertainment business, desperately sought me out. He’d been doing well financially for quite some time. You’d have thought his life was quite perfect. He was in every way outwardly a success, a large success, but as he stated ‘after all the money, I’m still me. I have problems’. Something was missing and he felt it every day. He could not shake it. It ate at him relentlessly. He suffered.

He had everything but that didn’t help. He could appear pretty upbeat and that all was well but he felt undeserving of his good fortune because, after all, he was ‘him’. Inside, he felt miserable. That made him pretty cranky at times. While therapists had him examine why he felt this way and worked to uncover what might be at the core, I did not. I felt he already focused on what was wrong too much of the time.

He’d spent years in therapy without resolve. What he didn’t do enough of was focus on what was right and what was working for him. I asked him to do what I have my seminar and workshop participants do. What I have done. I asked him to do what I have shared in these pages. First, I asked him to begin simply by making a list of the people and things in his life he is and was grateful for. List it small and large.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

I asked him to look at his life circumstances this very same way. What about his present AND his past could he appreciate? AND WHY? He was to write these down. He was to keep a gratitude journal. Don’t just list them. The ‘why’ is important too. What do you appreciate and why? I want everyone to develop an attitude of gratitude. Keep in mind he was miserable. He’d tried everything his therapists could think of.

He had the money to throw at the problem, but nothing made much difference. He told me I was his last resort. We met a few times and I’d ask him to share his list. I encouraged him to talk about those things and express how he felt. When he did, he visibly changed a little. You could see that his list mattered to him. HE FELT IT. Having felt empty for so long this was a huge breakthrough in minor proportions.

Lightning didn’t strike. However, he was gradually starting to notice a difference. Small at first but it grew in significance. A few sessions after we began this, I asked him what lessons he might have learned whether he realized them or not? Could he go back through his life and connect the dots and see how, from this vantage point, things made sense in a way he’d not noticed before? He didn’t think he could, but he could.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

This was very useful for him. He saw his life unfold differently than he’d ever considered. For the first time he began to realize everything was perfect. Everything good and bad led him to this moment. Everything, every decision he made, every accident in life, all brought him to now as if by perfect design. He learned while on this path HE had been trying to get his OWN attention for years. He finally began to understand.

He was trying to find himself. Through all of it. The success. The buying everything The loneliness and emptiness was himself trying to get himself to notice him and be okay with himself. To not only be okay but accept, validate and love himself. It was as if, all along, a higher self understood his issues and was attempting to help him resolve them. He just hadn’t noticed or listened. He was distracted by the things

Now, he began to fully appreciate the steppingstones of life bringing him here. Everything led to THIS moment so he could re-claim, if not claim for the very first time, the authorship of his life. I’ll share more next time but for now understand that the attitude of gratitude and the authentic expression of it can work wonders. Gradually as you first develop the new habit, but it is life affirming and wonderfully transforming. Things we get from the outside might temporarily thrill but it fades. True change from within makes a difference in every cell of your body and lasts forever. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why Napoleon Hill Said Peace Must Come First

“It is about time people jump off the get rich pursuit mentality and into what is more important. There’s nothing wrong with riches or getting rich but peace of mind is far more important. Through peace of mind, it is easier to become rich but not only financially but in all areas. Mentally, emotionally and physically you are better off. You’re happier, healthier and wealthier all around. Without it you struggle and are more stressed.

The empty suits have you chasing things. Most authors and speakers point people in the wrong direction and it’s time we correct this. Through being and peace of mind you live better, do better and can have better. There’s no question. Hill wrote about it near the end of his life for a reason. From his life experience he realized the quality of your thoughts and experience of life was more important than what you could acquire.

Through the years I frequently emphasized what Hill said about the many people he modeled to develop the Laws of success wealth strategy. Of the 520 wealthiest people in the world he modeled, studied and built his philosophy on, only one was balanced. He said all the rest had problems. He said he got to know all of them. He had stayed with many, and they all had issues. Their spouses and many of their kids had issues.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

To be obsessed with gaining a fortune, and not focusing on the more important qualities of life, brought many of the 520 mental, emotional and physical illnesses. Hill wrote, ‘I’ve had the privilege of intimately knowing the most outstanding, the most successful, and the richest men that this country has ever produced. I’ve slept in their houses, ate with them, known their families, their wives and their children.’

‘And I have seen what happened to their children after they died and passed on. I know the importance of learning to live a balanced life … The men that collaborated with me in the building of this philosophy represented outstanding success in every field of their era. Out of all those men, there was only one I could say even vaguely approached having peace of mind along with all his other successes: John Burroughs.’

Without a doubt, he was the one who came nearest it and the one who came next nearest to it was Mr. Edison.’ Living out of balance is not a good thing. You can look back over 40 years of my work and see that being is emphasized far more than having. So, I am delighted to see what people begin to point others to what life is truly about. FINALLY, a few are beginning to focus on what is most important.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

HOWEVER!!! ALERT!!! Some jump on the bandwagon because they think they can cash in. They run from the back of the parade to the front so they can say they led the way. Be Authentic, not a commercial.Some promote peace as a path to wealth because they understand. IT IS always about BEING. From authentic being comes RIGHT DOING which you must do to easily HAVE what you want for yourself and others.

BE DO HAVE! I suggest one reads back, watches back, listens back to vet speakers and authors to discover if they walk their talk or if they change their talk when a topic becomes convenient or trends. Whatever their reason, the goal is for US to get right in ourselves so we can live a better life instead of chasing shiny objects and discovering fulfillment isn’t in what you acquire but comes from who you are and from love.

Relationships and experiences are more important than objects that tarnish. Seek to find your true self. Seek to have a positive, optimistic, enthusiastic attitude. You will feel better and be healthier. Learn to let go of stress, disappointments, fear, worry and anger. Love yourself and love others. Discover the good within you, others and all circumstances. ‘Do not be conformed to the world but be renewed by the renewing of your mind. ‘As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.’ Be grateful and celebrate everything. Let peace and love and joy fill your heart, mind and all your days Spread it near and far. Then you are truly rich. Celebrate everything” Rex Sikes

The Real Secret To Avoiding Disappointment

“Most people think too small. To avoid disappointment, many dream small. They think it’s better to squash their dreams than to dream, try and fail. Do you? Perhaps, they’ll fail but aren’t you already if you’re not dreaming the big dreams you want? How good can it be if you settle for less? Especially if you resent it. That’s no way to go through life, not attempting anything you truly want and being bitter about not doing it.

Those people let fear prevent them from being and doing and having anything and everything they want. They don’t want to be disappointed so the make not being disappointed more significant than trying something and possibly not making it happen. BUT what if they did? They stop themselves because of fear but don’t inspire themselves because what is possible. Sad, and it is part of society’s conditioning.

Absolutely none of the largest, most worthy contributions to humankind would exist if those responsible felt that way? If pioneers in thought, spirit, compassion, science, medicine, sports, electronics, human frontiers and exploration didn’t dream big, where would we be? You’ve heard the saying, ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ haven’t you? Or ‘it’s better to love and lost, than to never have loved.’ It’s worth the risk to some.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You must be willing to risk! It doesn’t mean you will win or lose but you must make the attempt. We’d not have any of the inventions and comforts we have had not someone been willing to do what it took to bring them into being for our use. From the spoon and the wheel to bridges, transportation vehicles, computers and movies. You must conceive it and believe it is possible and then do what it takes to achieve it.

If something has never been done before no-one knows how to do it until after they complete it. They learn along the way because they are willing to go for it. Many don’t succeed. Many do succeed. What is the mindset and behaviors that make the difference? If there are two similar stores open in the same location, why does one struggle and barely make it while the other thrives? It’s not the location obviously.

You must dream big if you want to succeed big. You must dream big if you want to succeed at all. Attitude makes all the difference. If you don’t think it’s possible or that you can make it happen and enjoy the results and benefits, then it’s not likely you will. But if you want things to be different, then you will have to be different. You’ll have to think, feel, speak and act differently to change the things you can. Get it?

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Those who built the world and the things in it didn’t let fear stop them. They believed if they pursued what they wanted it would make a difference. It was important enough to try and for some to keep trying and trying until they broke through. When others stopped, some kept going. If you want to complete a marathon you keep going until you cross the finish line. You keep going because it’s worth it to you.

In some cases, it’s worth it to others for you to keep going. We enjoy the contributions others made. Most of us in the modern world take for granted all we have available. We don’t realize what it was like to live 30, 60, 100, 1000 years ago. Most things we enjoy came about in the last one or two hundred. Imagine. Not that long ago, things you and I enjoy and need and are convenient, did not exist. They didn’t exist!

People made them possible. SO, If you could be, do or have anything you want what would that be? imagine anything you can imagine. What’s the big dream? Money is no object. Time, effort, energy aren’t either. If all the conditions were right, what would you dream and do? No one is saying risk your family, safety, or money, or to do anything other than to expand the size of your dreams. What would you want to make happen?

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Want to stop being disappointed and feel fulfilled? Expand and explore your options. Why don’t you expand and explore your options? If anything prevents you, resolve that. If it’s for the benefit of all and hurts no one, resolve it. Get over it. Develop the attitude that you and they deserve the best and that you along with others can make this good a reality. Convince yourself that you are worthy AND so is everyone else!

Imagine creating and feeling more joy, love, fulfillment and peace. Expand your vision to feel more successful, healthy and in harmony with others. Imagine what you want to include more of. See yourself as you always wanted to be. Dream bigger and better! If you don’t think you can, that’s the first belief and attitude change you must make. To change, you first must know you need to change and then CHANGE!

If you don’t think you can be it, do it or enjoy having it then that is the first step. Transform yourself by the renewing of your mind so you can dream larger and make big and better things happen for you and the world. BE IT and Do It for yourself and others. If you can help anyone, help them. Stop letting anything stand in the way. Stop judgement, beliefs, labels, and excuses. Just help them. People helping people.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Do it for others and you too will benefit. If you do for yourself, so others benefit too, you might just benefit quicker. We get more accomplished through collaboration and cooperation. Enlist others in dream building. Do it. Dream it. Plan it. Map it out. Gather resources and team members and make it happen. DO IT! If it is to be true, it is up to you. I’m here to help you. Dive in. Do it and be fulfilled. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How Successful People Handle Stress And Disappointment Pt 1

“How do successful businesspeople and entrepreneurs handle stress and disappointment? Do they do things differently than the rest of the people? It turns out they do. What they do is important. It makes the difference in how they live and work and why they succeed. What is it that they know that others don’t? Everyone faces challenges so it isn’t the challenges that sets these successful people apart from the rest.

It is their ability to take disappointment or setbacks as ONLY temporary. They are not defeated by defeats. They keep going. They know it IS your attitude that makes the difference. Often in business setbacks come one after the other but successful people do not let that dampen their motivation or persistence. They continue onward. They maintained their attitude and expected things to work out for the best. They were not born this way.

These are skills they learned and cultivated. You can learn to be more adaptable and flexible in your approach too. You can be more resourceful in your work and in pursuing your goals and dreams. You can move forward and not give up when challenges come your way or pile up. How? Learn to keep everything in perspective. It is your attitude that makes the difference.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The CEO’s and successful entrepreneurs understand that you have to care but do not care too much! When dead, none of it matters. Work is just another game you play. It is what you do to make money. Keep that in mind. No one benefits if you work yourself to death or injure your health so that you’re unable to enjoy your family and friends. Live first. Enjoy Life! Work hard (if you want) BUT don’t kill yourself to get ahead.

It isn’t worth it to win the race and lose your life. Work or career is not worth damaging your mental, emotional or physical health. Enjoy life apart from work. Have fun. Enjoy your family and friends. Enjoy hobbies and activities that have nothing to do with the work you do. Cultivate other interests that you look forward to doing. Find things to be passionate about. Make time to do things you want to do with the people important to you.

Walk, exercise, go to the gym. Get out and have a good time. Take it easy and relax. Prioritize a healthy life over stressful work. You will work better and smarter the healthier and better adjusted you are. More in the next blog. For now, consider what is really worth it to you. What is your life all about? How do you want to enjoy it? Who is important to you? Take care of yourself and others around you. Live fully. Enjoy what you do. Cultivate the attitude that helps you live more fully. After all, attitude is everything. Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes

How Not To Be Disappointed

“I have learned to put little stock in what people say — they will do. I’m like, ‘ok, go ahead and do it,’ knowing it’s unlikely. Few people do what they say they will. Many inflate what they claim they can do. Boy, do they ever. So many experts with so little expertise.Still, I expect the best, understanding their best may be nothing. If they do it, then I am wonderfully delighted.

If they don’t, no real loss, as it wasn’t likely to happen anyway. That goes for family, friends, clients, customers, colleagues and people who claim they are there for you or me. I’m not cynical. I hope they can and will keep their word. I just don’t put all their eggs in my basket. Why? Eggs break. Plus, they aren’t my eggs. They are the other’s eggs so… who knows if they’ll even make it to my basket.

I’m open and rooting for them. I may be their best cheerleader, but I am not deceived. The world is a wonderful place. Never let anything get the best or worst of you. A past office administrator would say, so and so called and they’re going to do xyz… and I’d say ‘ok’. And she’d say, ‘wow aren’t you happy.’ I’d say, ‘I’m good and I’ll be happy when they do it.’

Start Livng The Best Life Ever!

Some may say this doesn’t sound like positive thinking. Well, it is. Positive thinking is realistic thinking. To expect some people to do things they say they might do, may be no different than believing in the tooth fairy. That would be delusional thinking. Knowing whether they do it or not, I am going to be okay, and that all will be good despite them not keeping their word, IS positive. I know all is good.

Plenty of people talk about what they are going to do and never quite get around to doing it. Be not deceived. Be happy when it comes through. Be happy if it falls through because you weren’t banking on it. My 2 cents on how to handle disappointment AND how not to let people string you along. If this helps you, good! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Signs Of Ego

“A recent meme someone shared ended with this ‘Fancy offices, hot cars, lots of staff and huge overhead are signs of big egos, not big success.’ Cars, boats, jets, jewelry, homes, clothes, shoes and handbags, are signs of spending. Why does one feel the need to have these? There’s nothing wrong with the items themselves. They’re fine. Anyone can have them AND they can be a trap.

They’re signs of ego. Don’t chase things to be fulfilled. Many people get many things, sacrifice everything to get them, only to discover they aren’t fulfilled by those things. It’s truly sad to know someone who has everything and is happy with none of it. Gurus tell you work extra hard, take massive action so you can have these things and then someday you’ll be someone important.

They are wrong. They lie. Stop following nonsense. Take that encouragement as a warning. They’re trying to get you to do something that won’t fulfill you. Instead, become a better, wiser, more loving, compassionate person of service. Become smarter, more caring and peaceful. First become the person you want to be. Be it. Then you’ll do the right things to have what you want. Get this.

Learn To Create The Life You Want And Deserve

Be it first and the right things fall into place. Everything falls into place when you first ARE it. Things don’t change you. Many people hope they will and sadly find out they were wrong. Transform yourself by the renewing of your mind, first! Then you’ll add value to others, create relationships and positive experiences that will be meaningful to you. You’ll have a life worth living. You’ll be fulfilled.

Things pale by comparison. They’ll make you feel good momentarily. Be it to do it to have it. IT IS NOT what most gurus promote. WHY is that. Because they think you need them to get the things and when that doesn’t work, you’ll need them to fix you. That’s why they want you to do everything you can thinking you’ll get what you want and that somehow makes you more important. Get it?

You don’t need ego signs if you’re living well and right. You can have them or not. Yes, enjoy good things but don’t depend on them to make you feel better or more worthwhile. WHO you are determines what you say and do. Who you are determines the results you get. Who you are, the company you keep, the experiences you create and remember are more important than things.

Learn To Create The Life You Want And Deserve

Don’t chase signs of the ego. Seek to be transformed and fulfilled. Then you can have it all. It won’t contribute to your importance because you’ll know you’re important with or without it. Get this? When you do, you’ll truly understand the importance of celebrating everything. And you’ll celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Trying To Manage Your Learning Through Frustration Doesn’t Work

We’ve even tried to manage our learning by getting frustrated when we haven’t learned quick enough or performed well enough. That is a funny thing that we learned to do. We learned to comment and criticize as we endeavor to learn to do things we have never done before as if somehow we are an expert already.

We have learned to get in our own way and hopefully we have learned to get out of our own way too at times. We have learned to try hard and we have learned to relax, well hopefully we have. Really, when you consider everything there ISN’T anything we think, do or feel that we haven’t in some way learned to think, do or feel.

After all, we are a human organism and anything we are capable of doing has to come from somewhere. Even if there is a genetic predisposition we had to think it or do it or feel it for the very first time, and then do it again at some point. We become patterned and habitual, we have developed neural pathways so we don’t have to learn everything over and over again.

Get the Attitude Activator™ today and start living the best life ever!

We don’t have to invent the wheel again and again. This is a remarkable thing. It is incredible and an amazing advantage. Of course, the downside is we’re also wired in useless or not-so-glorious skills, habits and unwanted behaviors. We got the fantastic with the less than glorious. Oh well, that is just the way it is. Along the way we can begin to determine what we want.

We can decide and choose what to add in to ourselves, what we would like to learn and enjoy. We can decide what we want to change. We use our conscious mind to guide and direct this incredible unconscious bevy of acquired learnings. We have learned everything that is good and ‘not so good’ RELIABLY because of these tried and true well-traveled neural pathways.

This is WHY changing some things we want to change SEEMS difficult at first. It’s meant to be that way or we’d be re-inventing the wheel again and again. Changing DOES require some effort up front. We can learn to change anything and to do anything, if and when we apply ourselves. We can make whatever change we want to make but we have to do it and stick with it through the process.

Get the Attitude Activator™ today and start living the best life ever!

We have to take the time and do what is necessary for as long as it is necessary to make the change. When we do we will succeed. Through the process we will seemingly fail, we will make mistakes, there may be a tendency to criticize but we will prevail as long as we keep at it! We will succeed if we never quit. You can be, do and have anything you want when you learn how!

Success is only a decision away. Some learned to procrastinate, others learned to jump right into it. How we make decisions was learned. Some learned to try and give up others learned to keep on trying until they get what they want. Whatever you do IS because YOU learned to do it. You can learn to do something good, new, positive and beneficial for yourself.

You can learn to become inspired, motivated and passionate for positive change. You can learn to make all your dreams and desires come true! You can YOU actually CAN! So, when will you?

What To Do When Friends Let You Down

“You expect your family and friends to support you? Hopefully, they are interested in you and your welfare. You expect them to be there at important times, don’t you? What happens when friends and circumstances let you down? What can you do about it?

Realize it takes some planning to be disappointed. You have to invest in an outcome. You have to wish, want, hope and dream someone behaves, or circumstances go, a certain way to be disappointed when they don’t. You want something. It doesn’t happen.

What can you do? Understand, you got your hopes up. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with hoping and positive thinking and expecting the best. The issue isn’t expecting the best and positive thinking. It’s getting attached to having a particular outcome.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes

Our attachments limit us. They shape our thinking and feeling. If we must have something a certain way we will often find ourselves disappointed. It’s a symptom of being a perfectionist and of attempting to control the outcome. So what to do?

Work hard to get what you want. Expect it. Want it. Persist in getting it, BUT allow it to happen in any number of ways. If you only have one way of fulfilling your outcome you are sorrowfully limited. Each of us needs to have numerous ways of getting what we want.

Instead of wearing blinders we need to open our eyes. We need many roads to Rome. We need to be satisfied that the answer may come in another form and not just the way we want it. To insist it does will keep you disappointed again and again. Let go. Get free.

Instead Of Being Disappointed Be Willing To Be Surprised

Drop the attachment while maintaining the desire. Allow it to unfold. Your hard work will pay off but perhaps not in the manner you had hoped. All can still come to fruition. Don’t put your eggs all in one basket. Get more eggs and more baskets. Get it?

Free yourself from the worry of having to have it a certain way. It will come in unexpected ways which you can’t see now. The path is not a straight-line but twisted and convoluted. Still, it is the path. Stick with the dream of having it. It is yours. It is coming to you. Trust that.

Then allow it to manifest for you however it will. Think ‘this or something better’. It doesn’t matter how it comes to you. Trust it will come. Trust it will be revealed. Keep the faith. Keep working towards it but with this in mind. You can have this or have something better than you could have ever even imagined. Wouldn’t you enjoy that too? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
