They Win Because They Know This!

“If you ever sit down with someone who’s truly made it, someone who started with next to nothing and built a life of significance, of wealth, or of deep peace, you’ll notice something remarkable. Notice, it isn’t JUST about wealth. It’s about fulfillment, quality of life and experience and not just quantity. They didn’t always know how it would happen, but they knew it would. That knowing wasn’t cocky or loud. It was quiet and unshakable.

It was lived. They had already decided to succeed long before any outward signs appeared. That decision became the foundation. They didn’t wait for perfect timing, the right contacts, or the ideal economy. They moved anyway. Even when it hurt. Even when others laughed. They stumbled, fell, dusted off, and adjusted. And they kept going, not because it was easy, but because they understood something most people don’t.

They knew that success isn’t a lottery ticket. It’s not about luck. It’s not for a chosen few. It’s a mindset. It’s a formula. And once you learn it, you can’t not succeed. Henry Ford said it best when he said, ‘Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.’ What you expect tends to be what you experience. Science backs it up. Belief changes the brain. Belief changes everything.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

A study published in Psychological Science found that people who believed their intelligence could be developed performed significantly better over time than those who believed it was fixed. Belief literally changes performance. But belief doesn’t grow where doubt is busy defending its territory. Too many people refuse to let go of their old stories. They hug their limitations like an old coat that no longer fits but still feels familiar.

They talk about their childhood, their boss, the market, the government, the economy. They wait for something out there to change before they allow themselves to imagine something better in here. So, nothing shifts. They circle the same block, calling it progress. Imagine two travelers. One studies the map, worries about the route, complains about the weather, and never leaves their porch.

The other grabs a backpack, heads into the unknown, and figures it out mile by mile. A year later, one has stories, scars, and new destinations. The other has excuses. That’s the cost of not learning the formula. Not money, moments. Not dollars, decades. You trade the life you could have for a longer version of the life you settled for. You want to change your life? First, change the voice in your head.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Not with wishful thinking, but with deliberate practice. Neuroscience shows us that we are constantly wiring and rewiring our brains through focus and repetition. A study in Nature Neuroscience demonstrated that beliefs can directly shape perception. That means what you think changes what you see. You begin to notice opportunities where you once saw obstacles. You start acting on ideas you used to talk yourself out of. You get traction.

This is what we do inside my programs. It’s not about motivation. It’s not about hype. It’s not about just ‘thinking positive.’ What I give you is the recipe for sustainable transformation, the kind that starts with awareness, builds with mental tools, and ends in tangible, replicable results. It’s the operating system the winners are already running. Now it’s your turn.

Some people will read this and walk away, shaking their heads, telling themselves they already know all this. That’s okay. But knowing and doing are not the same. If your results haven’t changed, your formula hasn’t either. Then there are the others. The ones who feel that pull in their gut. The quiet whisper saying, ‘Maybe this is for me. Maybe now is my time.’ Those people, if they follow that nudge, will discover just how far they can go.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

We never really lack ability. We lack belief in our ability. That’s the real gap. And once you close it, the rest unfolds. Because those who succeed don’t wait for permission. They don’t wait to feel ready. They simply begin. And the world rises up to meet them. So, ask yourself… have you decided to win yet? Click the link below to enroll or find out more.

The Reason You’re Stuck: What to Do About It Before Another Year Slips By

“The truth is simple. Either you believe it’s possible for you, or you don’t. There is no halfway when it comes to your results in life. You’re either aligned and moving forward, or you’re stuck spinning your wheels while convincing yourself you’re not. Let me walk you through something to illustrate this. Picture a solid plank. A wide, sturdy plank, the width of a door, the length of a football field. Strong. Unshakable.

I lay it on the ground and ask you to walk across it. Could you? Most people don’t even blink. They say yes. Of course. Easy. Now, I raise that same plank twenty feet in the air. Suddenly, some hesitate. Raise it a hundred feet? Fewer step forward. Raise it five hundred feet, half a mile into the sky, and almost no one dares. But let’s be clear here: nothing changed except your mind. The board hasn’t changed. It’s still wide. Still sturdy.

The same walk you took on the ground. But now, in your head, it’s terrifying. You imagine falling. Your knees wobble. Your breath shortens. Do you see what happened? It’s not the plank. It’s not reality. It’s your belief about the situation. What changed was your internal story, your imagination, your mental movie. You imagined the fall, and that made it real enough to hold you back. This is how most people live every single day.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

They stop themselves not because something is dangerous, difficult, or impossible, but because they believe it might be. So they never start. And that is the real tragedy. Beliefs are the lens through which we see, feel, act, or avoid. What you see, imagine and/or expect determines what you will find in the outer world. According to research in Frontiers in Psychology (2018), belief systems significantly shape behavior, motivation, and resilience.

Beliefs impact the brain’s reward systems, influencing persistence and willingness to pursue long-term goals, even more than willpower alone. So when people say ‘I just can’t’ or ‘that’s not me,’ what they really mean is, ‘I don’t believe I can.’ Perception is everything. What you expect IS what you find. If you think you can or you can’t. You are correct. So when people say they don’t believe they can guess what? That belief is optional.

It’s learned. Which means it can be unlearned. It can be replaced. You can develop new beliefs that serve you, empower you, and take you where you want to go. But if you don’t, if you cling to the old limiting ones, then don’t be surprised your life stays the same. Beliefs are the thermostat for your results. If you believe it’s hard to make money, hard to find love, hard to be happy, that belief will keep proving itself to you until you shift it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

And that shift? That’s the secret formula most never learn. I tell you this again and again and have for over 50 years. your ability to shift away from what you don’t want and to what you do IS the secret. It’s not about trying harder. It’s about aligning your inner game so the outer results flow. The cost of not doing this is steep. Years wasted. Opportunities missed. Regret accumulated. You don’t have to live that way. There is a roadmap.

There’s a way to rewire how you think, believe, and behave—on purpose. And once you do that, your circumstances begin to shift rapidly. Confidence grows. Income rises. Health improves. Relationships deepen. Because the outside reflects what’s going on inside. This is what we dive into in the Einstein Formula course. I’ll train you to clear out the old, self-sabotaging beliefs and install the ones that serve your highest goals.

It’s like upgrading your operating system. When the internal changes, the external must follow. But you can’t do this casually. You can’t dabble. Success doesn’t reward the curious, it rewards the committed. You either go all in or stay exactly where you are. And let me tell you, staying stuck isn’t neutral, it has a cost. Stress. Missed dreams. Quiet desperation. More people suffer needlessly because they won’t act in their own best interest.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Once you step into this work, once you make the commitment to upgrade your thinking and your life, the transformation accelerates. The stories change. Your posture changes. Your energy changes. Because you’ve changed the one thing that really matters, your belief in what’s possible for you. Remember this: people don’t fail because they can’t. They fail because they don’t believe they can. That’s it. And that’s everything. So let me ask you, what would change in your life if you really believed it was possible? Are you ready to find out?

It’s A Numbers Game. Are You Up For It?

“It is never too late. Most of the rich business owners Napoleon Hill modeled for Carnegie were in their 40s or 50s, even older when they broke through. So, keep going. Reinvent when necessary. Some celebrities haven’t any apparent success until in their 60s, 70s and beyond. Age is just a number. You are as old as you feel. It’s a mindset thing! Attitude makes the difference. Look at someone like Dick Van Dyke happy in his 90s.

Or former president Jimmy Carter who worked on behalf of others well into advanced age. Age doesn’t matter. Your mindset does and your health matters. TAKE CARE OF BOTH. Also, you are never too young. There are teen millionaires as well. Tim Armoo was young too. In my neighborhood, Los Feliz, a 16-year-old became a multimillionaire gardener. He hired other kids to do the work, he first started and became the administrator.

Age is not a reason to not do what you can. There’s no reason not to be who you can be. For most people age is a concept that bothers them. I am both ancient and eternally young, some struggle with the numbers. They freak out on quarter century birthdays. Aging can be graceful and easy. It can be rewarding when wisdom is the result of experience. Youthful naivety can be marvelous. It’s all about who and what you are.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Henry Ford said, ‘If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right!’ That should inform you that THINKING MAKES IT SO! Whatever you hold in your mind determines your inner and outer reality. It is how you react or respond to circumstances and others that affects everything. It’s not the event. It is what you do with the event. It’s also why Ford said, ‘I never let what I cannot do, prevent me from doing what I can.’ Keep going. If you aren’t going yet, get started right from where you are. Dream it. Believe in yourself that you can do it. Do it and achieve it. Get it? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What If the Secret to Everything You Desire Is Hidden in Plain Sight?

“When you rise each morning, what thoughts and beliefs guide your day? Do you expect joy, success, and connection, or do you anticipate frustration, failure, and challenges? The mindset you cultivate and the expectations you hold are not just fleeting thoughts; they are powerful forces that shape your reality. Whether you realize it or not, your beliefs and emotions act as a compass.

Your beliefs, expectations and emotions are directing your experiences, relationships, and achievements. Research confirms that your expectations and outlook significantly impact outcomes. Psychologists have long studied the Pygmalion Effect, which demonstrates how higher expectations lead to improved performance. I’ve shared this numerous times in my blog articles. Expectations matter. They matter!

A classic study by Rosenthal and Jacobson in 1968 revealed that when teachers were told certain students were high achievers (even though they were selected randomly), those students performed better. This effect wasn’t due to any inherent ability but rather to the expectations placed upon them. There was no evidence the students were high achievers. It’s just what the teachers thought.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Similarly, the expectations you hold for yourself and your circumstances influence your actions, perceptions, and results. If you approach your day expecting stress, disappointment, or failure, your brain is primed to notice and amplify those experiences. It’s called confirmation bias, which ensures that you find evidence to support your beliefs, even if it means disregarding positive opportunities. RAS!

In other words, what you believe becomes your reality. Negativity and low expectations trap you in a cycle of frustration, keeping you stuck and limiting your ability to manifest your desires. The cost of remaining stuck is immense. When your mind is not congruently aligned with positivity and possibility, you suffer spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, relationally, and financially. Everything suffers.

Here’s what you risk: Spiritual stagnation, or a mindset of doubt and negativity, that disconnects you from infinite source and prosperity, leaving you feeling lost and unsupported. Emotional turmoil: fear, frustration, and self-doubt become constant companions, draining your joy and robbing you of peace. Wouldn’t you rather feel connected and aligned with your higher power and experience less distress?

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Physical health impacts: chronic stress from negative thinking has been linked to heart disease, weakened immunity, and other illnesses. Strained relationships: pessimism and low expectations create tension, miscommunication, and disconnection in your interactions. Financial limitations: believing you can’t succeed often leads to a defeated attitude, missed opportunities, and unfulfilled potential.

I’m sure you’d rather feel stress free, and healthy enjoying family and friends and those relationships important to you. Most people I know really could use some financial prosperity right now’s well. So, imagine the alternative. Picture starting your day with gratitude, delight, and the unwavering belief that great things are coming your way. This NOT wishful thinking. It’s the first step in rewiring your brain.

It’s THE conscious choice to align your heart and mind with positivity. When you cultivate congruence, you emit a high vibrational frequency that attracts opportunities, resources, and people aligned with your desires. This alignment doesn’t just change how you feel, it rewires your brain and reshapes your life. Neuroscience research reveals your brain can create new neural pathways with consistent practice.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

By focusing on gratitude, positive expectations, and visualization, you can literally train your brain to notice and amplify opportunities for success. A study conducted by Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin found that individuals who practiced meditation and positive thinking experienced structural changes in their brains, increasing activity in the areas associated with joy and resilience.

The benefits of this alignment are profound. Remember what the costs feel like. That’s why I designed ‘Create Your Best Life Using Einstein and Tesla’s Genius™’ program. So instead of remaining stuck you could move forward feeling confident and free. Wouldn’t you prefer to enjoy spiritual fulfillment where you feel connected to a higher source, trusting that you’re supported and guided. I know I do.

How about some mental clarity where your expectations are positive and you feel clear, free of mental clutter and able to focus on solutions and opportunities? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to feel emotionally balanced in gratitude and optimism fostering inner peace and happiness? You could enjoy improved health because maintaining a positive mindset reduces stress and boosts overall well-being. Get it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You’d discover having more harmonious and positive relationships as uplifting people are drawn to your energy, strengthening your connections. And of course financial stability and abundance is necessary because when you believe in your ability to succeed, you take bold, inspired action that creates wealth. This transformation is not only possible. It’s within your reach! I repeat, it is possible for you. Join me.

By applying specific principles and practices I guide you to reprogram your mind and align your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions with the life you want to create. You’ll learn to master your mindset, embrace gratitude, and cultivate unwavering confidence in your ability to manifest your desires. Don’t wait for life to change on its own. Take charge of your reality by changing how you think and feel.

The cost of staying stuck in doubt and negativity is too high, but the rewards of alignment and positivity are limitless. Join my program that I’ve linked below and discover the tools, strategies, and support you need to transform your life from the inside out. Together, we’ll create a roadmap to help you achieve your dreams swiftly, easily, and joyfully. Your journey to alignment, abundance, and joy begins now.

Make the choice to live fully, vibrate high, and manifest with ease. The life you desire is waiting for you. Are you ready to claim it? Everything changes when you change. That’s why Gandhi said, ‘be the change you want to see in the world.‘ The first step in having everything else is to first transform yourself. Let me help you today. Take the first step of many more successful steps. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why You Feel Held Back And How To Free Yourself

“You don’t have to live a life of frustration, misalignment, or unfulfilled potential. The cost of staying stuck is too great, wasted time, lost opportunities, and the emotional toll of not living the life you know you’re capable of. But the benefits of alignment are transformative. When you expect things to happen, they do. This isn’t merely a platitude or motivational mantra.

It’s a principle that governs how your mind, heart, and actions align to create your reality. J.P, Morgan put it this way, ‘When you expect things to happen – strangely enough – they do happen.” This profound statement reflects the power of congruence, alignment, and commitment in creating the life you want. When your heart and mind work together in harmony, there’s no limit to how far you can go.

There’s no limit to what you can achieve. He said, ‘Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.’ Manifestation isn’t just about wishing for something to happen; it’s about becoming someone for whom the desired reality is inevitable. The alignment of your thoughts, feelings, and actions is the secret ingredient that transforms fleeting hopes into tangible results.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It’s called congruence. If you’re not aligned, you’re likely expending energy in contradictory directions, creating frustration, stagnation, and unfulfilled desires. However, when you achieve alignment, the benefits are astounding. Living out of alignment is exhausting. Imagine driving a car with the wheels pointing in different directions. No matter how much gas you give, you won’t move efficiently.

This IS what happens when your mind says one thing, your emotions pull you another way, and your actions fail to follow through. Misalignment leads to wasted energy, missed opportunities, and ultimately, unfulfilled potential. There is a substantial cost for misalignment. Studies in psychology affirm the importance of congruence.

Carl Rogers, a pioneer in humanistic psychology, emphasized that personal alignment, what he called congruence, is critical for self-actualization and inner peace. When your actions, beliefs, and goals are out of sync, it creates cognitive dissonance, a psychological state of tension and stress. This dissonance leads to procrastination, poor decisions, and a lack of progress.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You get stuck in a cycle of wishing for change but feeling powerless to create it. Your financial costs of misalignment are equally significant. Without clarity and focus, you may jump from one pursuit to another, chasing shiny objects or half-heartedly attempting strategies that never gain traction. The result? You waste time, money, and resources on paths that don’t serve your ultimate purpose.

Relationships suffer when misalignment manifests as indecision, frustration, or lack of emotional availability. Health deteriorates when chronic stress and dissatisfaction take their toll on your physical and mental well-being. Some people experience one or more of these issues and they all take their toll. For some to leave the comfort zone they suffer within, they must feel the costs enough to move out.

So, imagine the opposite: a life where your thoughts, emotions, and actions are fully aligned. When you’re congruent, you move through life with a sense of purpose, clarity, and ease. Obstacles no longer feel insurmountable because you approach them with confidence and determination. Your energy is focused like a laser beam, propelling you toward your goals with incredible speed and efficiency.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Scientific research supports the transformative power of alignment. Neuroscience shows that when you repeatedly focus on a clear goal with positive emotion, your brain forms new neural pathways that make achieving that goal easier. From ancient to modern times, mystics and thought pioneers have emphasized the need to get clear about what you intend, become passionate and certain you will do it.

A study by Dr. Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist, and Mark Robert Waldman highlights that positive focus combined with congruent action enhances brain function, reducing stress and increasing creativity. This is why alignment isn’t just a spiritual concept; it’s a scientifically validated process that rewires your brain for success. Mystics have long known this. Science supports what we know, for those who care.

Aligned individuals report greater happiness, better relationships, and improved financial outcomes. They become magnetic to opportunities because they radiate confidence and certainty. When you embody your desires fully, the universe, or simply those around you, responds by aligning circumstances in your favor. People trust you, opportunities flow, and obstacles seem to dissolve.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The benefits ripple across all areas of life, from your career to your relationships to your personal well-being. AGAIN, you don’t have to live a life of frustration, misalignment, or unfulfilled potential. Now you can stop wasting time and missing out on opportunities. You don’t have to continue to shoulder the emotional weight of not living the life you know you’re capable of. Change is a real possibility.

The benefits of alignment are transformative. Imagine waking up every day with clarity, purpose, and excitement for what’s ahead. Picture yourself attracting abundance effortlessly, building meaningful relationships, and feeling deeply fulfilled. This isn’t just a possibility, it’s a promise. When you align your heart, mind, and actions, you unlock the full power of who you are.

Bad News And Good: You Must Know This

“I’ve got some bad news and some good news. If you believe there are limitations, difficulties, invisible barriers, and beliefs holding you back that you’re not aware of—then you’d be correct. That will be your reality. But if you believe that you are unlimited and that there are infinite possibilities, opportunities, and resources available to you—even if you haven’t discovered them all yet—you’d also be correct. What you think matters.

Your beliefs and expectations shape and color your reality. Henry Ford’s assertion, ‘If you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right,’ is spot on. Experts agree that what you think about, you bring about. Your mental habits and patterns dictate how you live, and whether you enjoy life or not is entirely up to you. As the saying goes, ‘As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.’ Understand this: You create your reality. You always have.

Shakespeare knew it when he penned the line in Hamlet: ‘There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.’ Buddha expressed similar wisdom: ‘We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.’ He also warned, ‘Nothing can harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts,’ and affirmed, ‘The mind is everything. What you think, you become.’

Develop a Positive Attitude, Mindset, and Beliefs to Transform Yourself

Think he might have been onto something? Research confirms it. Consider this: ‘To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind.’ Buddha’s insight that ‘With our thoughts, we make the world’ rings true. He also said, ‘You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.’ ‘Those free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.’

Job recognized this truth when he said, ‘That which I feared has come upon me.’ I could go on quoting from countless sources, but the point is clear: Your thinking matters. What you think about, believe, expect, and talk about—you bring about. I’ve spent most of my life helping people understand and counter the myths and misinformation spread by those who either don’t know better or don’t care to tell you the truth.

If you think you must remove blocks and obstacles from your path, then you haven’t grasped the ‘watercourse way.’ Sure, you can sift through the dog crap. People do. But if you want to plant roses, you must plant roses. If you want to get to Tahiti, you must go to Tahiti. Hitting a bullseye is easier if you aim at the target. It’s true that sometimes you encounter obstacles or need to make changes, but you don’t have to.

Develop a Positive Attitude, Mindset, and Beliefs to Transform Yourself

You can’t remove every negative thought or experience. What’s truly holding you back are those very thoughts you think are holding you back. It is why Einstein pointed out ‘We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.’ If thinking makes it so and you think you must remove and eliminate all unconscious blocks to transform, well then yes, you must. Your thinking dictates your actions. THINK again.

If you think you can succeed without removing all the crap, you’d be better off. Think about this! You can go with the flow and create what you want without focusing on what you believe is holding you back. When you focus on what you think is preventing you, where is your attention? It’s on those very things that could hold you back or limit you. Yes, it’s part of our conditioning to think there’s no other way. But there is!

You might believe you must remove all the unconscious stuff because it’s sabotaging you—but that’s just crap. If you think that’s true, go ahead and do it. It can be helpful, as the placebo effect suggests. However, there is an easier, more delightful way—and that’s what I’ve been sharing for about 50 years. The invitation I extend is simple: You can do it the hard way. You can continue that way. You’ve been doing it for sometime. Keep going.

Develop a Positive Attitude, Mindset, and Beliefs to Transform Yourself

Or you can join me in finding a more successful, swifter, and far more wonderfully delightful, easier, and enjoyable way than what you’ve been led to believe. As always, the choice is yours. If you think something is a problem, then it is a problem. If you think something is a blessing and an opportunity, then it is exactly that. What you think matters. You direct your attention, and from that, you act and get results. Understand this, and you can transform your life and enjoy goodness beyond what you can presently imagine. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

The More You Do This The Easier You Get What You Want

“Decide what your dominant chief aim or purpose is and clarify it. Specify it! See it clearly in your mind. Imagine it AS IF it’s already happened. Use your imagination. Do this daily. Frequently. Accentuate all the positive feelings you feel because of imagining your goal completed. How does it feel? Notice it. If it feels incredible, keep doing it and celebrate. If you feel doubtful or less-than-glorious when imaging, you’ve some adjusting to do.

Enjoy and accentuate the incredible feelings. Enjoy and celebrate! Really celebrate! Really feel it. The stronger the emotions the sooner you get what you want. Expect to make it happen. Feel the eagerness knowing it will come about it. Know you will create it. It IS YOUR faith and your feelings of certainty that make it happen. It is YOUR expectation, and especially YOUR feelings that bring it about. How you feel emotionally IS important!

Believing you will get it and feeling as if you already did is a powerful combination. It’s the passion and enthusiasm that make it happen. The obsession with it means you will think and feel strongly about it lots of time each day. You are obsessed and you feel marvelous. What you are consumed with. What you obsess about you bring about. Enjoy making it happen. The more you enjoy the easier it comes to you. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Live Free And Exceptionally Well

“Some people say if you don’t want to be disappointed, have zero expectations of others. That might work. Some would think it is tough not to have any expectations. There is another way. Expect the best of others BUT don’t be disappointed if they don’t live up to them. It’s never about them. It’s about your reactions to them, events and circumstances. Stop reacting to what others do or don’t.

Instead, learn to manage yourself. Instead of getting frustrated with others, change how you think, feel, speak and act about it. Learn to respond differently instead of reacting. If you react, like a knee jerk, you’ve no control and no choice. You are a victim of your own emotions and other’s behaviors. Stop being at the mercy of other things and come into your own power. Learn you have choices.

Some think this is tough. You could or you could imagine yourself beginning to learn to do it. You could imagine yourself getting free. You could. Think of a different response. You could rehearse it in your mind like actors rehearse their lines and actions so when in the ‘play’ they do what they rehearsed. That’s how you create new habits. You do it enough in your imagination that it becomes a habit.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You do it enough in practice, adjusting what you say, how you say it, how you feel and what actions you take. You rehearse how you want to be. Rehearse how you want to think, rehearse how you feel. Rehearse what you say to yourself and to others. Rehearse your behaviors, your best behaviors. Rehearse what you want. Let the other, old, conditioned-self go. Become new. Transform yourself.

Renew your mind. Get free from disappointment and life changes for you. End feeling miserable. Put an end to feeling powerless or helpless. Take charge. Imagine being able to do this with ease. Make it fun and meaningful. Make your imagination serve you. Worry is only negative rehearsal for something that may not happen. Stop that. Learn to live life on your terms. Imagine the best, not the worst. Imagine being delighted and surprised at how easy and fun it is to develop new skills, talents and positive habits. Feel grateful. Imagine. Live from the feeling of the wish already fulfilled. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Freud Missed By Miles As Did Jung

“Freud almost got some things right, but sadly, missed by miles. People ought to remember descriptions are only describing aspects of our universe. The map is not the territory, and the description is ONLY a description of what the territory is like. It’s not reality or what’s going on. The menu is not the meal. Descriptions may be accurate reflections but theories aren’t true. Get this. A photo is the real thing.

They ARE the best explanation of what MAY be occurring that we have in a MOMENT given the exploration we conducted. Wise investigators know we update a theory as new information becomes available. Some theories fall by the wayside, others get updated. They’re not the truth. They’re explanations of our understanding and beliefs shaping what we think, say and do. We replace them. Quantum physics replaced much of Newton’s.

The world didn’t end because we update our descriptions. Innovations made as a result of a certain understanding didn’t disappear because we have a different, updated description of what might be occurring. Freud, Jung and others displayed an understanding. They’re not true, but useful. Those descriptions enable us to think about things we might otherwise not think about. While this quote has been attributed to Freud, it hasn’t been proven. Obviously, someone said it about Freud’s observations.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

‘Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.’ There is no ego, id and superego. Those are concepts. Those are descriptions. Not real. Concepts but myths. Those are names given by Freud to processes but you don’t possess any sort of thing. Nor do you have a shadow side. There’s no angel or demon within you. These aren’t realities or ‘things’ within you, they’re descriptions of processes we’ve historically tried to understand.

There’s no human in your subconscious. Your subconscious isn’t a person. It’s not someone attempting to thwart you. Get this. There’s no inner person deciding if you do well or not. There ARE processes, neural wiring, and habitual electrochemical happenings. There’s no actual inner you, inner child or anything like that. However, the concepts may be useful for understanding descriptions of human behavior.

Anything that helps a person understand an aspect of behavior may be helpful to modify or adjust it. This is Placebo power. Get it? Help is help. Whether it’s historically or medically accurate. Take the unsolvable mathematics problem solved by a student who didn’t realize the problem was unsolvable. I provide the following historical background on that story published by Snopes.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Here’s an amazing example of what is or isn’t possible based on what we think is true. It shows us expectations shape our reality. Beliefs shape our reality! What we think matters. Our results stem from our thinking. Get this.

‘One day in 1939, George Bernard Dantzig, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, arrived late for a graduate-level statistics class and found two problems written on the board. Not knowing they were examples of “unsolved” statistics problems, he mistook them for part of a homework assignment, jotted them down, and solved them.

(The equations Dantzig tackled are more accurately described not as unsolvable problems, but rather as unproven statistical theorems for which he worked out proofs.) Six weeks later, Dantzig’s statistics professor notified him that he had prepared one of his two “homework” proofs for publication, and Dantzig was given co-author credit on a second paper several years later when another mathematician independently worked out the same solution to the second problem.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

George Dantzig recounted his feat in a 1986 interview for the College Mathematics Journal: It happened because during my first year at Berkeley I arrived late one day at one of [Jerzy] Neyman’s classes. On the blackboard there were two problems that I assumed had been assigned for homework. I copied them down. A few days later I apologized to Neyman for taking so long to do the homework —

— the problems seemed to be a little harder than usual. I asked him if he still wanted it. He told me to throw it on his desk. I did so reluctantly because his desk was covered with such a heap of papers that I feared my homework would be lost there forever. About six weeks later, one Sunday morning about eight o’clock, [my wife] Anne and I were awakened by someone banging on our front door.

It was Neyman. He rushed in with papers in hand, all excited: “I’ve just written an introduction to one of your papers. Read it so I can send it out right away for publication.” For a minute I had no idea what he was talking about. To make a long story short, the problems on the blackboard that I had solved thinking they were homework were in fact two famous unsolved problems in statistics.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

That was the first inkling I had that there was anything special about them. A year later, when I began to worry about a thesis topic, Neyman just shrugged and told me to wrap the two problems in a binder and he would accept them as my thesis. The second of the two problems, however, was not published until after World War II. It happened this way.

Around 1950 I received a letter from Abraham Wald enclosing the final galley proofs of a paper of his about to go to press in the Annals of Mathematical Statistics.Someone had just pointed out to him that the main result in his paper was the same as the second “homework” problem solved in my thesis. I wrote back suggesting we publish jointly. He simply inserted my name as coauthor into the galley proof.

George Dantzig (himself the son of a mathematician) received a bachelor’s degree from University of Maryland in 1936 and a master’s from the University of Michigan in 1937 before completing his Doctorate (interrupted by World War II) at UC Berkeley in 1946. He later worked for the Air Force, took a position with the RAND Corporation as a research mathematician in 1952, became professor of operations research at Berkeley in 1960,

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

and joined the faculty of Stanford University in 1966, where he taught and published as a professor of operations research until the 1990s. In 1975, Dr. Dantzig was awarded the National Medal of Science by President Gerald Ford. George Dantzig passed away at his Stanford home at age 90 on 13 May 2005.’

What we think is OR isn’t the case may not be what is IN REALITY going on. We accept many things as true or untrue. We think some things are possible and others not. Dantzig demonstrated that his not knowing they were thought to be unsolvable, didn’t prevent him from attempting to solve it. He treated it as any other problem to be solved. So he solved it. What we think is OUR REALITY. Get this!

What we think frames how we interact with the world and others. What we believe matters. Mindset matters. Our expectations shape what we are capable of. Our beliefs and attitude affect whether we will or won’t do something. If we think our inner child exists and is wounded, we’ll go through the world differently if we don’t know about the concept. The concept is used to explain something. It’s theory.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It shouldn’t be considered the truth, but useful to help us understand what happened. Forgive yourself and others. Grow the child up having healed that issue. All are possible healing solutions to events in one’s past. The placebo effect suggests if you think something will help, it helps. This is marvelous! It isn’t less valuable because it’s a function of what one believes and how that inner mechanism works.

Perhaps, for that very reason, because it IS THAT, it IS EVEN more valuable. It means you can solve many things by thinking differently about them. You can solve unsolvable problems by treating them as just another problem to be solved. The amount energy you put into having a problem matters. Some invest significantly in being more broken than being well. Remember, what you focus on expands.

Energy flows where your attention goes. Change that dynamic and anything else is possible. Get it? What you think about you bring about. Thinking makes it so. I hope you understand how powerful your thoughts, beliefs, attitude and expectations are. You have the power to potentially solve the unsolvable. To create new innovations from previously thought impossibility. We have explanations which aren’t reality.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Freud, Jung and others show us that. Many people believe the descriptions. That’s okay according to the placebo effect. My point, is to demonstrate how incredible and powerful we are. Even believing a myth can be helpful. It can be harmful too. It’s what we do with it that matters. YOU ARE truly magical and incredibly resourceful. You are infinite opportunities, possibilities and resources that you can discover and use that seem to work like magic. Find them. AND realize this. You will find them when you honestly seek them.
