How To Accelerate Your Career Success!

“YOU succeed much faster when people like who you are and what you are. Everything I have shared, in my recent posts, about the Golden Rule, the Platinum Rule and acting in loving ways towards a partner, your family, associates and even strangers is applicable to your career and your job success. Behave in loving ways and you can ignite your career track beyond belief!

When you fist behave lovingly toward others AND yourself, when you hold others and yourself in the highest esteem, you are transforming yourself and your relationships in positive ways. Others will notice and you will stand out in the crowd. Your energy will be uplifting, dynamic, confident and kind. You will set your self apart from all the rest who just go about life and their career with only themselves in mind.

People will be attracted to you because you are operating from higher positive intentions. You are filling your mind and your heart, your feelings, your words and your actions with positivity. When you wish the very best for others, and do the best to help them feel loved, accepted, valued, and supported, without seeking to get anything back, you ultimately gain more in return than you can ever imagine!

In your career, and in all business, when you go the extra mile, when you help your boss or others get ahead without being asked to and without expecting payment you demonstrate that you are a person of integrity and high-value. You display initiative when you help others meet their needs. If you can save them time, money or energy you will be sought after. If you will do what most others refuse to do you can most likely write your own ticket.

When you are so filled with the joy of living and loving, when your thoughts and feelings and actions are congruent and aligned with these high positive intentions you are a joy to be around. You are someone people want to associate with and you become indispensable to others. When you put others first you make yourself a genuine team player. You make yourself invaluable.

The issue with so many pursuing careers is that they only see others as stepping stones for getting where they want to get. These types tend to be aggressive and use people. They complain and whine about the circumstances or actions of others. They are envious when other people get the job or move forward advancing their careers. This type of person is more than competitive, they think and speak and act only with regard to themselves. They are easily identifiable and if not easily avoidable many will do their best not to have to interact, be around, or work with them.

You have to know that no one ever, EVER, makes it on one’s own. It is a network of co-operating resources that enable people to do well in the world. Would you believe someone who claimed, ‘Hey I go out and get the raw materials, I mine them. I transport them in my own vehicle to bring them back. I manufacture them all alone and I promote and market them without any assistance from anyone. Then I sell them all by myself off my own website. NO one has ever helped me.’ Perhaps, that is true, but the people who purchased your product are the ones who help make you successful!

Without these people you wouldn’t have any money. So even in the rarest of all circumstances, as in this example, there are others involved who are responsible for this person’s success. There are other ways people contributed to the process indirectly. Someone made the vehicle and made gasoline available. Someone manufactured the tools the computers and the marketing means. Others are involved whether they are given recognition or not.

Alright, so that was an extreme example of someone determined to claim no one ever helped them. For most of us many people help us all along the way. Some do it freely and others charge for their services. The point is we are interconnected. We don’t actually live in complete isolation. We depend on others and others depend on us. This is why networking is so important. Ultimately, we all help each other.

If you really want to get ahead apply the Golden Rule. Add value to others first. Hold everyone in the highest possible regard. Go out of your way to be positive and nice and behave in loving and kind (appropriate) ways and you will endear others to you. Birds of a feather flock together so you will discover other incredible people who will support and encourage you too.

Give first without asking in return and you will get back because people want to return kindnesses. Be helpful and respectful, don’t be a pest. Be positive, don’t complain or blame others. Don’t gossip.

Celebrate joyously when others succeed and you will do much to increase the likelihood of your own success. There are people watching you on your career path and they can tell when you are genuinely interested in others. People can tell when someone is only in it for themselves.

Consider yourself as a beacon, a walking billboard. You advertise exactly who you are and what your values are the moment you enter a room or open your mouth. People can see you coming a mile away and they are either deliriously happy when you arrive or they want to flee.

Be the kind of person other people really want to be around and you will go far. Smile, be happy and enthusiastic.

When you go for an interview or an audition remember your energy either fills the room with powerful friendly presence or it sucks the energy from the room. Those you are meeting can immediately tell whether you are a life giver or a vampire. If you want a chance at a call back or to book the job or get the position people must feel that you are someone they want to be around and spend time with.

Yes, it is important to be talented. You should be qualified and right for the part, or the position. Still, who you are matters so much more than what you can do. If you want the chance, if you want the opportunity for yourself to get ahead and skyrocket your career be the best person you can be AND be the best in your work. You will get noticed, you’ll be remembered, and get called. More in the next post.” Rex Sikes

Don’t Settle For Less! Begin Now To Transform Your Life Into Something Grand!

“How is your life going? Are you ecstatically pleased and happy? Are you enjoying your life to the utmost OR is your life not so good? What is life anyway? It is your feelings and thoughts about yourself, your relationships, family, significant others, friends, and associates.

It is you career or job, your playtime, your health, your wealth, your relaxation time. It is comprised of your home, transportation, what you can do, when, where and with whom?

How do you define yourself and your life? Are you pleased or displeased? What are your thoughts about these? What are your thoughts about the world and others around you? These are great questions!

A really great question is what are your predominant thoughts? What do you think about most of the time? What do you think about in each of these areas? How do you think and feel as you consider them? Are you mostly positive or negative?

Do you feel mostly joyful or not so good as you entertain these notions? Do you realize that whatever is going on in your present life IS a reflection of your previous and current thinking? Are you aware that your experience is completely up to you?

What are you feeling most of the time? Do you feel wonderful, just okay or less than glorious? It is true you determine what your life is. You decide what your experience will be. Each of us does. You may not believe it but stop and look around. Take stock.

Examine your life without blaming anyone else for your good or bad circumstances. Recognize, perhaps for the very first time, that your life is entirely comprised of the decisions you have or haven’t made. (Not making a decision is actually a decision).

Everything has always been up to you. If life is wonderful fantastic! Either you know precisely how and why and what you are doing or you stumbled onto something that works and, yet, you haven’t a clue. If life is merely okay and you are getting by or if it is worse, then you are ripe to make some changes. If you want things in your life to change, yup, you gotta change some things.

You have to change what you are thinking and feeling and doing. There is no point in blaming yourself OR anyone else that doesn’t make anything better. Just accept the consequences of your thoughts and actions, and realize you made the best choices you knew how to at that time.

Realize too, that was then. This is now. Right now, you have the opportunity to begin making better choices. Become accountable and responsible. The single most powerful thought that changed my life most significantly I first learned when I was eleven years old.

It didn’t sink in and make sense or a difference until decades later. Sometimes, we just aren’t ready or prepared to take advantage of great things. I missed plenty of opportunities because I just could not see them.

This one thought that transformed me and my life more than anything else. It was Earl Nightengale’s ‘You become what you think about’. He referenced it in his recording of ‘The Strangest Secret’. He said it was the strangest secret because it was so simple that most people missed it.

I certainly missed it for quite some time! Since that time I have heard and used variations. ‘You get what you think about’, “You become what you think about most of the time’. ‘What you focus on expands’. ‘Attention goes where energy flows’.

All of these are profound ways of pointing out that who you are, what you feel and what you have and do is UP TO YOU and within your control. The point is ‘YOU become WHAT YOU think about most of the time.’

Once I took this simple but powerful phrase to heart I began to change my life and my being. I kept that thought in the forefront of my brain, ‘you become what you think about’ as I took control of my other thoughts. If I can do any part of this you can as well.

As an actor, a young actor I knew that ‘thought precedes doing’. It is the thought that compels you. What the audience sees are the actions you take based on what you as the character are thinking. The same is true in actual life. Thought precedes action.

Everything begins first with thought. We know this is true because all human-made things first originate in the mind of the human creator prior to being translated into a physical reality. We see it in our minds eye, translate it to paper (plans and blueprints) and share it with others.

We manufacture and market and we sell ideas to others. All the results we get we get because we envision them, good or bad, and we act in some fashion to bring them about. We really are creators!

There is another thought I adhered to which added to the incredible difference self-control was making in my life. That thought is, ‘As long as you say what you have, you will have what you say’.

As long as you assert and declare how things are, as long as you think, act and speak from a particular mindset, that is what you will manifest, attract and have for yourself. This particular thought made me aware of what my life story is.

Is it positive and filled with what I want to have and include or is it negative and about what I don’t have and why? Whatever you say you have is what you will have! We are the creators and authors of our experience.

Are our conversations and thoughts filled mostly with praise, can do thoughts and building up, or limiting can’t do thinking, tearing down and complaining? It actually matters! What we do most of most often is what we get back. These are the seeds we plant!

Both of these simple ideas led to great change in my life and they can in yours too. These are simple, easy to remember and be aware of throughout the day.

What do you think about most and what do you talk about most? Is it what you want or don’t want? If you don’t have, and aren’t getting and becoming, what you want then you need to take charge, gain control and think ‘more better’.

You and I are already thinking effectively all the time. If we will only accept 100% responsibility for everything we are and aren’t, have and don’t have, then we have an excellent starting place to make things happen.

‘If it is to be it is up to me’, is certainly another idea that matters. All of these thoughts say the same thing in different ways. Whatever you want is up to you and it all begins with thought! It matters where your attention is most of the time each day.

So take an inventory and determine whether or not your thinking is serving you or hindering you. Once you find out then decide what to do about it. Only you can make the difference for yourself, no one else can.

Take charge, and begin to live the life you deserve to have, the life you truly desire, and the life you can have. Enjoy each moment because you become what you think about most of the time each day!” Rex Sikes

The Power of Thinking Positive! PT 6 How To Recognize Opportunity As The Wealthy Do

What is an affirmation? It could be an accurate observation of the current moment. It could be a statement of fact. It could be an opinion. It is a declaration and an assertion. It is positive and to use the word itself it is affirming. It promotes well-being and positivity. It’s designed to encourage and support.

Continued from: The Power of Thinking Positive! How To Make Your Thoughts Work For You Parts 1- 5

Abundance is a current buzzword that some enjoy and some are growing tired of. I think it’s worthy to use for examination. Try this on: ‘We live in an abundant universe. Abundance flows to me and through me. I deserve riches and all good things. I am wealthy in every way. I give to and I help others from my abundance’.

Some people will say, ‘nope we live in a world where resources are being depleted and there are too many people’. That may be. Still, there is at this time, plenty of air, sun, darkness, food, water, money and everything else needed for everyone on the planet to thrive.

The biggest problem for us is not that these things are scarce but that people don’t have access to them. That’s sad. Very sad. It’s unfortunate and people should act to rectify it. It’s horrible when the political powers in charge allow or force people to go without. Yes, it’s sad because food, water and resources are plentiful but people are prevented. Everyone deserves health, wealth, well-being and the pursuit of happiness. This, however, is a discussion for elsewhere.

There is plenty to go around. There is plenty of power and electricity, all types of necessary goods, frivolous items, and money. There is so much money. Money is everywhere! Some have much more than others. Many of those who do have money attempt to thwart other’s access to it. Still, there is more than enough money everywhere. There are scores of wealthy people everywhere. Many millionaires and beyond have made their money in the best and the worst of times. Money is plentiful always.

Consider that none of the statements regarding abundance might be accurate. Or they all could be or just some parts of them could be true. After all, the statements are just sentences. You either agree with them or you don’t. You decide what to agree with or disagree with. You have your own reasons or excuses.

You will experience the lifestyle that accompanies your beliefs about those simple sentences. You’ll either have more than enough, enough, just enough or not enough. You determine it all by what you think, believe and where you place the cause of the lifestyle you live. You either accept yourself as the cause of it all or you put it off onto others or circumstances or both.

If you put it off onto others there’s probably little you can do about it. Unless you learn how to better communicate with them regarding your needs so you can improve your lot. If it’s circumstances holding you back then either you give up and allow them to dictate your life or you find a way to legally alter them for your benefit. If you accept responsibility for yourself and your lifestyle you can change whatever you need to change in order to change your lifestyle.

Let’s briefly examine some of the example statements and find out what the upside and downside to thinking that way is. We live in an abundant universe. Of course, someone could object stating that everything is limited and that we are wasteful. They could assert that if we aren’t vigilant we will run out. There’s not enough for everyone and there are people in poverty.

This is not an illogical nor necessarily false statement. It’s a view of current circumstances. The person who embraces this view may embrace the idea they ought to be helping others because they believe it’s important. They may practice conserving their money or they may give away their money OR they may do nothing but live in fear and worry. Anything is possible.

The person who believes there’s abundance could be a pig and a hoarder and consume wantonly without regard for others. This is possible. On the other hand, they could see the world as a friendly place with enough to go around for all. This may inspire them to work so all people have access to resources. They may be inspired to create all manner of wealth, beautiful experiences and good things.

Few, if any, people get rich focused on poverty. Those who get rich make their riches because they turn their backs on poverty. They don’t focus on scarcity and what they don’t have. Instead, they focus on creating what they want. They know what they want and where they want to get to. They are driven to accumulate.

To declare a war on poverty, while well-meaning, places the emphasis in the wrong place. Instead of wiping out poverty let’s create and utilize abundance. Let’s make sure people have all they need and not just basic necessities. To create wealth and well-being for all should be the goal but it isn’t.

To declare war on anything seems a less than optimal way to make changes in our world. It focuses on what we want to eliminate, but does not give clear picture or indication what we want to build and have instead. This has been proven over and over again.

The goal isn’t to eradicate poverty but to ensure all people have more than enough. The person who thinks and believes the world is plentiful finds examples to support that point of view. Just as the person who thinks scarcity is the state of the world, finds examples to support their viewpoint.

There is more that I don’t know than I could ever possibly know. If I err, I prefer to err on the side of what can be done and what is positive and hopeful than otherwise. I could be wrong about the world being abundant but I know it feels better to believe it is. Do you get this?

One point of view is not more right than the other in my world, but some make us feel better than others. There are some people who extract great joy in feeling bad but most people seem to want to feel good. In order to feel better, we need to think the thoughts that make us feel better. Feeling just okay is not an option.

We need to choose what makes us feel the best and put our attention on that. The goal is to live fully and joyfully feeling wonderful as much of the time as we can. Years ago, I declared this world my garden paradise. I claimed ownership. I realized I could either have an ecstatic life or I could have something else. I opted for an ecstatic life. I realized that there are also plenty of co-owners I share this planet with and determined we could all celebrate. If we only would.

I prefer to include everyone in my abundant world. Not everyone will gain or have everything they need or want. There are poor. I don’t blame them. It’s not my place to judge. I prefer to operate from the Golden Rule and what great religious leaders, philosophers and visionaries have had to say about compassion, understanding and ministering to those. I believe givers get but that is not the reason to give. Give simply to give.

Some people will agree completely with each of these statements I used as examples. Others may not. ‘The universe is plentiful. I deserve and attract all good things. I am wealthy in every way. Because I am wealthy I help others.’ Some may not feel that they deserve riches. They may not feel like they attract good things.

If you don’t feel that you deserve riches, if you don’t feel wealthy now, most likely you won’t be or become wealthy any time soon. This is because wealth, just like health and well-being is a mindset. It’s the adoption of and the adherence to certain attitudes and principles. The wealthy look at themselves and the world differently than those who don’t enjoy it. We’ll examine this more later.

In order to HAVE wealth (or anything; a relationship, health, a parent) one must first BE the kind of person who can have it. In order to have things you need to BE AND DO FIRST. In order to be rich, you need to think rich thoughts. In order to be healthy, you need to think healthy thoughts. In order to attract a loving partner, you need to be a loving partner first.

You can DO everything right and work hard but if your attitude and mind set, if your thoughts and beliefs don’t support and encourage you, it’s unlikely you will have wealth, health or much happiness. Unless you get really lucky and inherit it or win the lottery, etc. ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so he is’ is a nice Biblical saying that says, ‘You are your thoughts’.

The wealthy don’t think impoverishing, lackluster, deprecating thoughts. They may or may not practice affirmations as we discuss here but they certainly think differently than most of the rest of the world. They most assuredly feel they deserve to be wealthy and that money is plentiful, easy to make and grow. They see opportunity all around them because they’re primed to see it. If they loose money, they’ll just make some more. Money is to enjoy life. Abundance is wonderful!

Their thoughts, their attitude is primed to help them advance. We can adopt the good components of their mind set to advance ourselves as well. The same is true about people who have healthy loving relationships, are great parents, athletes and are successful in any other ways. Attitude is everything. Attitude determines your altitude! AND if it is possible for one, it is possible for all.

Affirmations help us to look for examples in the world around us and find them. People erroneously think ‘Seeing is believing’ but it’s actually reversed. ‘What we believe determines what we see’. This is verified over and over again by research. Also, we tend to live up to the expectations placed on us by others and by ourselves. Our mind set is critical to how far we’re able to go and what we’re able to be and do.

When you begin to look for good things around you instead of bad things you will find them. The affirmation is an organizing principle around which you wrap your perceptions. You will find reasons to be joyful, happy, healthy and whole. If you look for the negative, the hurtful, the unfair you will find those too. What you seek you will find. What are you seeking most of the time?

Affirmations filter and organize your thoughts and determine what you pay attention to. Look for and notice that which helps you feel great. Look around and notice what’s good, great, and wonderful! Notice what you’re thankful for and delighted in more and more during your day. Stop paying attention to the negative, the less than glorious and what makes you feel bad. What do you spend most of your time doing?

Start validating the good things. Don’t put energy into the bad things. It’s NOT about wearing rosy-tinted glasses and ignoring needs and problems. It’s about being in a positive and productive place to meet those needs and solve those problems. Much more is possible and probable when you feel better. You’re far more resourceful when you feel good.

Don’t let yourself get bogged down in negative or bad feelings when facing difficulty.

When you think abundantly you begin to realize everything is an opportunity. When all of your energy is the highest and in the most positive form you attract other like-minded people to you. Your mind opens you up to possibilities and you’re more readily able to recognize opportunity and positive circumstances and events as they occur.

As you invest in yourself and grow your stock in yourself, your confidence and your sense of worth soars. You’ll move differently in the world and travel to different places too. You’ll have the mindset to find advantages and to act resourcefully. It all begins within you! Unfortunately, too many people think it comes from the outside. That’s why there are so many not living the life they want to live. Your thoughts make it so!

Affirmations help you organize your thoughts so you are able to see what else is possible in you and around you. They’re positive thoughts and statements we can embrace and operate from to feel better and do better. I would rather fill my mind with thoughts of encouragement and support than anything otherwise. Wouldn’t you?” Rex Sikes

We will continue to discuss this further in upcoming posts.

The Power Of Thinking Positive PT 5 How To Stop Wasting Your Time And Energy

“In the buffet line, you choose what you want and pass over what you don’t want. What you do not want and don’t like you don’t give another thought to. Instead, you select from what you want to enjoy. You focus on what it is you like and exclude the rest. You don’t beat yourself up because there are items on the buffet that are not for you.

Continued from: The Power of Thinking Positive! How To Make Your Thoughts Work For You Parts 1- 4.

It’s the same in everyday life. You need to keep your eye and mind on the good now in your present and the good future you want to create. This is where you keep our attention and your energy.

Do not get distracted by present circumstances no matter what they are. Even if everything around you is crappy, still focus and concentrate on the very best you can find now and in the future.

Your goal should be to feel good. You should feel the best you’re able to at any given moment. When you’re feeling joyful, happy and confident, you’re in a better place to make your dreams come true. You actually vibrate at a higher level. You’re more powerful and attractive. Well-being radiates from you. When you move through the world with power like this, you attract others of like mind and energy.

Here’s another analogy. Imagine you want to build a house. You design it. Plan it. You get it just the way you want it. It’s your dream home. You get everything in place to build it. Even though there may be problems with the land, the contractors, and the money, you still keep your focus on what it is you want to build.

Don’t let the other things take your attention away from what you know you want. Keep your eyes on the home you intend to build for yourself while you work to get it built. Don’t get caught up in the everyday events and forget about your dream home. Don’t let any circumstances shift your focus from what you want to build and have for yourself.

There are always difficulties and challenges. It’s part of life. Don’t make them bigger or more important than what you want. Don’t get hooked or distracted or caught up by mundane or terrible circumstances. Do not focus on what you don’t want and what the problems are.

People think they have to focus on or deal with what they don’t want in order to make things better. You don’t! Yes, you may have to solve present circumstances but don’t let whatever less than glorious events or people take you away from what you want. Do not give your energy to the problem! Give it to the solution. Keep it on what you want to have.

You will NOT get what you want by paying attention and giving energy to what you don’t want. It doesn’t work that way. In all likelihood it’s not going to happen. You will only waste your time and your energy and remain pretty much in the same stuck place.

Yes, you can notice the problems but you know you don’t want them. You can acknowledge them but don’t give your energy to them.

Turn your attention back to what you do want and keep working to make that happen. Remain positive, optimistic, dedicated and focused.

Do this and you use the positive force of your mind and being instead of accepting the negative circumstances. Choose to prevail instead of succumb. Live as a victor and not a victim.

Most people get caught up in an endless array of details and lose sight of the goal. They go back and forth. They live wishy-washy. They drift like a ship at sea without a captain. They hope and then doubt and then hope again. They try and then get frustrated. They are positive, then fearful. Eager, then anxious. This IS what confuses the unconscious. The back and forth of emotions sends mixed messages so we produce mixed results. If you think wishy-washy, you get wishy-washy.

Remember the principle of garbage in garbage out (GIGO). Whatever you put in the brain is what you get back out. If you write a bad software program you get poor results from the computer. You can’t run your engine on anything but the appropriate fuel. In order to get what you want, you must do what it takes.

I’m not suggesting that you have to work physically harder or longer, either. It’s a mistake to think that. You need to work smarter and wiser. It begins inside your head where everything begins. It begins with the thoughts you have. It begins with the seeds you plant. You can only reap what you have sown.

I am not suggesting you sit alone in your room and concentrate on having material goods magically shower down on you either. That’s not going to happen. It doesn’t appear to work that way.

What works is to organize your thinking first. This helps you organize your behaviors. The results are you work smarter, wiser and more efficiently to get what you want. You make it happen because you’re at cause. You are in charge. You are in control. You create and you attract what you want.

You accelerate your potential to make it happen because you align your entire being in that mission. You’re congruent, devoted, dedicated, focused, concentrated and passionate about making it happen. You become a person who is able to get what you want.

It’s evolution. You evolve yourself. You make yourself into the kind of person who gets what you set out to get. In order to be that kind of person you must send a single clear, powerful message!

Positive Thinking is the ability to know exactly what it is you want, maintain your focus and your attitude, and stick with it until you make it yours. Troubles may come and go but you adjust your plans because you expect to win no matter what. You focus on the good, the solutions, what can be done and you do it.

Positive Thinking training is learning how to focus your mind like a laser and target what you want so that you get it. When you aim at the target you focus where you want to hit. You don’t worry about the rest of the target or what is off the target. Youu put your concentration where you want the projectile to land.

I’ve provided some analogies for consideration. The point is this: it’s all about where you put your attention. Energy flows where attention goes! Keep your attention where it’s most useful and let go of the rest.” Rex Sikes

You Become What You Think About? So…..

“Make today count! Meditate or think on this: ‘We become what we think about most of the time’.

What do you think about most frequently, what fills your thoughts throughout the day? Are they thoughts of happiness, well-being, positive action thoughts or whining, complaining and worry?

What you hold in your mind you hold in your body. Your feelings and actions are a result of your thinking AND vice versa. If you want your life to change for the better you have to change things in your life FOR THE BETTER.

So today become aware of where you spend your mind time, what you think about most frequently.

It doesn’t matter why you spend time thinking what you think. No reason or justification is necessary. No excuses either!

Just examine your thinking process and decide does it serve you as best it could or not? If not then improve it. If you want your life to change it is completely up to you.

Become aware and notice. Don’t judge, don’t chide yourself just notice what you mostly do and opt to make whatever you think better.

Make yourself think and feel a little more positive.

Put your attention on what is the best of yourself, other people, the event or situation. Focus on the good thoughts and feelings. Find the best and concentrate on staying with the best. Fill your mind and being with delight, appreciation, positive thoughts and feelings and notice the difference when you do this.

How much time each day do you nurture and nourish yourself? Make it a point to add to it. Amaze and astonish yourself. Celebrate and enjoy!” Rex SIkes

When Will You Accept Your Destiny?

Embrace this notion fully: You are a creator. Only you are the master of your destiny. You are in charge!

Whether you think it so or not, everything you experience is because of you. Everything you have or don’t have, all that you are or aren’t is up to you. Accept it. Take responsibility for it.

You may disagree but what does that get you to do so? Perhaps, it gives you some comfort and consolation. You can debate it but to what end? Try the concept on instead, take responsibility for it all, your past, your present and your future.

I happen to think that this is the case but even if it isn’t accurate – when you embrace the notion it gives you power to transform yourself. It is a useful concept to adapt. Forget about ‘gospel’ truth, and consider it instead as a rule for helping you to get ahead. Use what works and discard that which does not.

When you take 100% responsibility for everything it puts you in squarely in charge.

Then it is only you who answers for the results you get or don’t.

There is no one to blame when things don’t work out. If things are to be brought about it will be because of you and not anyone else. This is a place of immense power and opportunity!

When you put yourself in charge you can work with the power within you. When you think ‘If it is to be it is up to me’. When you take responsibility and operate from ‘I caused this and I caused that’ or ‘it is all because of me’ then you can change your thoughts, feelings, actions, reactions, responses, your plans, you can alter anything that isn’t working because the locus of control is on and in you and on no one and nothing else! This is a powerful mindset to operate from.

Some thoughts you may want to make your own if they aren’t already: ‘I am a powerful positive creator of my own destiny.’ ‘Happiness is available to all so it is available to me’, ‘If it is to be it is up to me’. ‘We become what we think about’.

All you have to do to change your life is think different thoughts! REALLY! Change your thoughts and change your life!

The reason why some people don’t move forward is that they do nothing, the think defeatist thoughts, or can’t believe it, they think it is too good to be true, or they think it must be hard not easy or they think it won’t work. If this is you change it and move forward in a new direction.

Whatever you focus on expands!

See yourself as a vibrant, powerful, positive, transmitter of energy. Imagine yourself as a powerful creator, responsible for bring you all things. THEN choose the very best for yourself. Nurture you thoughts and feelings and abilities. Hold in your mind positive thoughts and keep planting positive seeds.

Keep it simple, easy and do it every day! Each moment is a moment to enjoy and celebrate or let it slip away. Because what you focus on expands the more you enjoy the more you get to enjoy! Remember this and choose to delight and enjoy yourself throughout each day. Stay with it, make it a positive habit and enjoy!” Rex Sikes

Celebrate and Delight! How To Transform Your Life

“Celebrate everything. Enjoy have fun. Find delight! Look for the good in everything and everyone!

‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’. Acknowledge disappointment and let it go. Look for solutions. Keep moving forward. Train your mind to find the best.

If you did nothing more than this at each opportunity your life would be more amazing!

When the balance of each of your days is spent in gratitude and ‘can do’ positive thinking and feeling, you experience more well-being in every aspect of your life.

It is easy. It is all about awareness and choice.

You have a choice. You can either do it or not.

Only you will discover the benefit when you maintain a positive frame of mind.” Rex Sikes

Enjoy making your day magical!

How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want PT 8

“…Small wins in the right direction each moment or each day get you further than a massive effort performed only once and then not repeated. Water can cut a path through enormous land mass and rock even when it begins as just a trickle. It is those thoughts, feelings and things you do bit by bit each day that make the most incredible difference in the long run. Condition yourself for more success and happiness by creating the habits that support you in getting what you want.

Every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It is each successive step you take, after you begin, that gets you down the road and on the way. If you keep moving in the right direction you eventually get there, but if you stop and quit you never will…”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 7

“The bottom line is – when you make a tenacious decision that you will not let anything stop you in making your life what you want it to be, even if you don’t yet know how to do all that, you have won more than half of the battle. This is important to keep in mind. It is also important to remember this next point. You don’t need to know “how you will go about it” to begin getting what you want. Yes, it sounds counter-intuitive but I’ll explain more fully soon.

For now play with being clear about what you want and intend. Commit to yourself! Promise yourself you will do this and then keep your promise! While determined in your mind also relax. Know you can do this, step by step, you will learn as you go along, you will make improvements along the way to your condition and you will get better results as you stick with it. Be firm in your mind. If you decide you will do it relax. There is no need to be anxious if you determine you will follow through.

You don’t have to ask over and over, you only have to ask once. It is not about hoping something will happen. This is about deciding your purpose and keeping your purpose clearly in your mind. So you don’t have to ask over and over. You don’t have to beg your future to come true. You are not hoping or wishing. You are making a clear decision on where you want to end up and you are traveling to that destination. You may be eager but you know you will ultimately get there. It is the same matter of fact, relaxed mind set you have when you think about going to the store or a favorite vacation spot.

You know where you want to go and you go there. The more you make the journey there enjoyable the better off you will be. You may be eager but since you know where you are headed you expect to get there. So relax. Get clear on it, get precise, get thrilled!

Imagine it as clearly and as detailed as you can in your mind’s eye. Spend time continuing to improve on this by repeating the process daily. The more you spend time imagining what it is you want the clearer the inner images can become. It is just like developing any muscle in the body. The more practice or exercise the better you get at it.

Drop by drop fills the tub. Spend some time each day thinking about your goals and what you want. Imagine that incredible future. Let the notion of living that way supercharge you and feel wonderful. Spend each day finding the best feelings and enjoying the day in incredible ways. Make it a point to live each day in the best most positive way you can.

If things come along to upset that plan, get back on course as soon as you are able. Nudge yourself back into it as you are able. Think: ‘all is good’. ‘great things are here for me even when I can’t yet see them’, ‘everything has a way of working out for me, so hang in there’. Think thoughts that comfort you, relax you as well as make you feel positive and powerful. Look for and find the good in every situation. Reframe any difficulty as opportunity and turn a less than glorious moment to your advantage by how you think and feel about it.

Accept roadblocks as temporary conditions. Know that as you go through them you will grow stronger and better. Everything IS really a frame of mind.

Lastly, keep this in mind because I think this is critical to our understanding.

Prior to humans on the planet cataclysmic changes shook the world. There were gorgeous days and tumultuous ones. Hot spells and cold spells. Anything that could happen did happen. Masses of land came and went due to weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, meteors, you name it. Every type of situation and circumstance happened.

All through this time, for eons and eons what there was NOT, what did not exist, was any human to state whether these events were good or bad or right or wrong. They simply occurred without anyone around to judge it. They simply happened, things simple were. Things existed and no one named them.

As humans arrived and became goal setters and getters judgments arose as to whether something was easy or hard and whether we could move forward unimpeded or if our efforts were thwarted. Judgements arose!

The human mind put a filter on all that was and declared things to be one way or another. Humans judge. Prior to humans things just were. Humans named these advantageous or calamity. They all are judged by how things affected the human. The truth of the matter is things still just are. They are neither good nor bad. They simply are. They are neither wanted or unwanted. YOU determine the meaning each circumstance has. You and I put our judgement on events, situations and people. In reality everything just is.

We could decide to not label, not judge, and just let things be. This is difficult for most of us because we were not brought up learning to do this. However, once we realize that it IS whatever we call it, and that whatever we call it may determine how we feel, think and act, then what we should realize is THAT WE make it so. We create our experiences by the meaning we attach to them. We create our experience by the importance we put on them.

When you pick up a stick you pick up both ends.

There is always contrasts. Things come along that may be unexpected and may seem to be negative. In reality nothing is negative or positive except for electrical charges. A battery has both poles but we don’t label one better or one worse. because both are necessary.

Life has its share of disappointments. If we can stop judging so much we can be free to enjoy everything in new ways. When we let go asserting ‘bad things’ we free up our mind to look for the seeds of positivity within.

The negative in life, since we understand how these terms are used, is as necessary as the positive. It is there as all things are there. It just is. From it we can grow and learn and move forward. Since judgements arise from us it is better, more positive, more opportune to declare less than glorious situations and people as challenges or opportunities that as bad things.

The point is this: It is whatever you say it is! As a result you will think and feel as a result of your labeling it. Whether you declare it good or bad AND that is what we have been doing all along. SO here is the change I propose. Imagine how much more wonderful life would be IF EVERYTHING that ever happened was an opportunity? Wouldn’t that be incredible. Every situation, person, event, that ever occurs is an opportunity, imagine that! Even if that isn’t true imagine how your life would be different if you had that frame of mind and looked for the good in all things instead of being victim to the bad.

Certainly, you can recognize a tough time. You don’t have to lie or ignore. You can say, ‘I have some challenges right now and I am not yet sure how it will resolve but things always have a way of working out well for me. I’ll be surprised I am sure because there are opportunities in this situation I have not yet discovered but I am looking to find them. I know ultimately this will work out for the very best’. Or say something to that effect. All is good. All will work out. In actuality it really all does somehow work out.

Keep in mind YOU become what YOU think about most of the time. You are either mostly positive or mostly negative but never 100%. SO as with all processes things change. We must accept that and continue to move forward in positive ways. Find the good in all, look for it, and you will find it. It may be hidden and you may have to search but you will find. Frankly, I believe if you did nothing else but this – find the good in everything – your life would already be radically better. Our mind set is incredibly powerful and our attitude does determine our altitude!

When we keep our focus on what we want, when we appreciate and notice and emphasize the thoughts and positive actions that makes us feel good we get more of it back. We live in a more permanent positive condition, and whatever comes are way, that is otherwise, we are better equipped to handle it. Keep the faith, relax, keep at it, and enjoy” Rex Sikes

How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want PT 7

…”You reinforce what you want to occur through repetition. You see it as already yours. You keep it alive with the wonderful feelings and you visit it often through out each day. When you do this repeatedly through much of the day you are building your positive muscle and forming a new positive habit.

Do this more times than you think negatively and you will spend most of your time thinking and feeling positive. We get what we predominantly think about. We always have and always will manifest our dominant thoughts. Hence, we become what we think about.”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 6

“You want to maintain faith that this is what you end up with no matter what happens around you,regardless of your present or prior circumstances. You keep your eye on the prize and do not get distracted by any other circumstances.

Regardless, of what the circumstances may or may not be you keep focused on the end result you decided you want. You continue to reinforce this with positive powerful feelings. You reinforce what you put into motion.

Conviction, faith, and a strong belief that all this is yours is part of the process. In your own mind you should believe it is already yours even though the outside physical reality may differ currently. You do this to do to get your unconscious mind working and to keep it working to go after and make happen what it is you decided you wanted.

I have described aspects of this process in prior posts too. We will continue to revisit and you should go back and re-read.

You must believe it is yours already! You are entitled to it. You deserve it. You are entitled to fulfill your destiny. Faith comes from, it develops from continuing to repeat to yourself what you wrote down and reviewing the mental movies you created.

Through repetition the faith comes. This part of the process you just have to trust. You will only discover it as you do it. You won’t be convinced by anything before hand without doing it. Faith comes from the actions you take. You transform your life because you do think in a particular fashion and act on those thoughts.

If you doubt you muddy the waters, you cloud the picture you interrupt the flow. It is as if you get a couple steps ahead and then fall back a few steps and this goes on and on. You may eventually get to where you want to end up, if you never quit, but it does take longer this way. Focused belief will get you their quicker.

You make clear concise instructions for your unconscious and energize them with dynamic positive feelings. Hold it in your mind and do this day and night. Don’t stop until you get what you are after. You will get there. Plus, you will enjoy it all along the way.

When you think about the future you it should delight you. Right there, that is the key. If it doesn’t you may need to make another choice for now. When you think about your future you want it to draw you towards it magnetically.

I know it sounds like a lot. It isn’t and it is. At first it may seem tough. It truly isn’t but you are learning to do something you may not have done much before in your life. You are learning to deliberately manage your thoughts and feelings. You are learning to target a result and bring it into being. In order to transform your life you have to decide if you are willing to pay whatever price there is in order to make your dreams come true.

You focus on all the good and new and delightful areas of your present life. You give thanks for all things and all people no matter what. In doing these you enhance your mental, physically, spiritual, creative energy. You vibrate at a higher rate when you feel good, confident and you expect to find good things each moment. You elevate everything about yourself.

Wouldn’t you like to feel better more of the time? Wouldn’t you want to be happier and more positive most of the time? Well, you can but it comes about only because of what you think and do. Most people are dictated by the contrasts. They get happy if something good happens, or it is warm or sunny, etc. They get sad or lethargic if something bad happens, or it is dark or cold.

It is understandable that most of use do that because most of us didn’t learn anything different while growing up. It was reinforced that life happens to us instead of we creating our lives. Now is the opportunity to learn something new and get better results. It is time to take control and get what we want instead of accepting whatever comes our way willingly or reluctantly.

Life can be and is fantastic. In upcoming posts I’ll discuss what to do if you doubt, or if things don’t seem to be happening quick enough, or less than glorious thoughts and feelings intrude. Keep in mind you are learning and engaging a process and you are not an expert at it from the get go.

As with all things there is a learning curve. Be optimistic, expect the best, be confident and be gentle with yourself, and do what you are able to do that encourages small wins all along the way.

Small wins in the right direction each moment or each day get you further than a massive effort performed only once and then not repeated. Water can cut a path through enormous land mass and rock even when it begins as just a trickle. It is those thoughts, feelings and things you do bit by bit each day that make the most incredible difference in the long run. Condition yourself for more success and happiness by creating the habits that support you in getting what you want.

So move in the direction you want and remember it is a journey. Have a wonderful time along the way. Why do this, why is feeling good so important? Have you ever noticed time passes way quickly when you are having a marvelous time? When you are lost and caught up in good feelings time just shoots on by. So the better you feel on your journey the less time it will seem to take. The next thing you know may be that you got your goal! Isn’t that worth it?

Have a blast getting your goals and you will get them much faster than you could ever imagine. Do something today to enjoy it even more!” Rex Sikes

Much more next time. Have a great day!

How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want PT 6

…It begins the moment you decide! You send deliberate clear signals, messages, you communicate articulately with your unconscious mind and your unconscious gets it.

The method to get what you want IS the very SAME process people usually use to get what they DON’T want. It works in either direction. It is a process that works reliably. It never stops working.

NOW, we will use the very same process BUT instead of focusing on what we don’t want we put all of our attention on what we do want. We use the same process but DELIBERATELY NOW to create what we DO want.”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Part 5

“Do you now understand how the mechanism works to get you either wanted or unwanted results? You see, it doesn’t care what is manifested, it simply operates because of the instructions, or messages, or signals that it repeatedly gets.

Again, this is how people attract and create money problems, anger, sadness, arguments with others, etc. Problems are created or enhanced or multiplied because one focuses on what one doesn’t want during most of their thinking time.

The person focuses on what they don’t have or what they lack instead of the opposite. They perpetuate their problems when they relive negative circumstances over and over in their mind and feel bad about it.

How many times have you relived an argument with someone? It usually does nothing to make us feel better. Instead, most of us end up with looking for what we could have said or done to have trumped the other person. Usually we just feel more resentment or more anger while looking for ways to get even. It doesn’t help us get over it, let go of it and move forward feeling wonderful. That usually only comes about through forgiveness and acceptance.

Because people are spending much or most of their time in that ‘negative’ fashion it ensures they will get more of it. It is a vicious circle that needs to be broken. They look at their life and feel bad.

When they feel bad they feel worse and think nothing will help and then feel worse some more. Then they imagine the worst happening and feel even more bad. Whether the worst happens or not they spend most of their time feeling down, helpless and hopeless.

So many of us live this way much of the time. BUT there is another way to live! It may seem unfamiliar because you haven’t spent much time living that way BUT the good news is you do the very same thing you have always been doing ONLY you use better content. You focus on the positive instead. Since the mechanism is reliable you will get the results you want, no matter how long you have lived your life the other way.

For example, your television set doesn’t care whether the program aired is a great program or a lousy one. It just shows them regardless. You decide what you spend your time watching. If you spend time with bad programs whose decision is that? Choose to fill your mind with better material.

You must start the new way of thinking and stick with it to make it the same reliable habit as its thought predecessor. You must learn to spend the bulk of your time with positive thoughts and feelings because you can! Stop the negative and start the positive. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

SO you keep these positive images in your mind and you drive it home by your positive feelings. You make it a habit through repetition.

You aren’t begging to get it, because in your mind you already got it.

So you don’t ask over and over again. You have made it clear what you want.

You reinforce what you want to occur through repetition. You see it as already yours. You keep it alive with the wonderful feelings and you visit it often through out each day. When you do this repeatedly through much of the day you are building your positive muscle and forming a new positive habit.

I know you can do this! So do it repeatedly and enjoy! Have a fantastic day!’
