Be Do Have Or Not! It’s Completely Up To You

“You can BE and you can DO and you can HAVE anything you want in life when you realize you are the one who creates it. No one else! While it’s true you must work cooperatively with others and get along to succeed in life, all things begin with your thoughts.

Positive or Negative. It is completely up to you. It is up to YOUR thinking. Whatever you currently have in your life is a result of your previous thinking. What you enjoy tomorrow will depend on what you begin doing today! What will you think about today? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Check this out. I want to give you a $497 training when you purchase Life On Your Terms from amazon. Check it out! If you already purchased my book simply follow the instructions and I’ll get you the training too! Act today!

The Word Water Won’t Make You Wet

“Lao Tzu and other ancients pointed out the thing named is not the thing. He said, ‘The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the Named is the mother of all things.’

Words are only a way to talk about and describe ‘things’ and processes. Too often words replace thinking. Words replace thinking about and describing processes. Not every ‘thing’ is a ‘thing.’ Except to the person for whom it is. Perception after all is everything.

What we perceive, believe and expect determines what we see, hear and feel. When we name something we do so to easily identify it but often forget we are more than that name. Some people really get upset if you misspeak or misspell their name. It is only a label.

Change Your Thoughts And Transform Your Life

Alan Watts said, ‘you can’t get wet from the word water.’ Words don’t make it what it is and are inadequate to accurately describe what it is or the process. We are consciousness ever-changing but we don’t notice it much because of our habitual patterns.

The past is over but people drag it around with them. They use words to encapsulate who they are, ‘a former victim of…’ or ‘a survivor of…’ as if those words could tell us everything we need or would like to know. They freeze the person in time. Lock them in.

They perpetuate the old and keep it current even when it may have disappeared decades ago. Speech is a means to communicate beyond grunts and pointing and it is responsible for much freedom. It is responsible for much suffering and restriction too. Get this.

Change Your Thoughts And Transform Your Life

Confucius said, ‘When a wise man points at the moon the imbecile examines the finger.’ Look in the direction of the point, not at the pointer. Look at the reality the words point to but not at the words. Words are code. Nothing more. What IS is what’s important.

What you call it doesn’t matter. Understanding is more important. Do you understand this? Are you able to live the reality no matter what the label AND are you able to be free of the reality no matter what the label? Words are tools not truth.

There’s the spiritual principle, ‘neti neti’ neither this nor that. No label is 100% accurate. If you have to wear one choose wisely. Choose positive ones that serve to move you forward. Affirm the positive, not the negative. Improve your self-esteem. Uplift yourself.

Change Your Thoughts And Transform Your Life

Uplift others. Speak only to bless, heal, inspire, motivate, prosper, transform and uplift. Guard your thoughts and your word choices. Let go of limitations. Actions speak louder than words anyway. Language can create freedom as well imprison. Understand this.

Become aware. Realize who and what you are. You are the Infinite living as a finite concept in your own mind. You are unlimited potential. I hope you discover this. All the rest and the names don’t matter. G beyond. Transform and transcend. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

A Pharmacist Did This To Live His Dream. You Can Too

“In today’s blog, I share an important quote from Joseph Murphy. I pared it down but kept its original meaning intact. Understand that what he is describing informs you how to harness your inner power to make the things happen you want to have happen. Get this!

“The first step toward his goal was his awakening to the powers of his subconscious mind… His second step was his realization that if he could succeed in conveying an idea to his subconscious mind, the latter would somehow bring it to pass.

He began to imagine that he was in his own store. He mentally arranged the bottles, dispensed prescriptions, and imagined several clerks in the store waiting on customers. He also visualized a big bank balance. Mentally he worked in that imaginary store.

Change Your Thoughts And Transform Your Life

Like a good actor he lived the role. Act as though I am, and I will be. This pharmacist put himself whole heartedly into the act, living, moving, and acting on the assumption that he owned the store. The sequel was interesting.

He was discharged from his position. He found new employment with a large chain store, became manager, and later on, district manager. He saved enough money in four years to provide a down payment on a drugstore of his own.

He called it his “Dream Pharmacy.” “It was,” he said, “exactly the store I saw in my imagination.” Joseph Murphy. When you understand this and apply the principles you too can begin to live your dreams. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Plagued With Horrible Thoughts? Here’s The Secret To Changing Them

“Have you been plagued with negative obsessive thoughts you just can’t seem to shake? They keep you up at night. They interfere with your day. It can be horrible. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could just stop thinking about things you didn’t want to think about?

There is a way? It works! But, before I get into what you can do let me ask you this. Have you ever watched a scary movie or a horrible show on TV or your computer late at night? It bothers you so you want to quit but you can’t stop thinking about it? What do you do?

What’s the best way TO STOP thinking about it? If you said turn it off you’d be wrong. While that MAY work it usually doesn’t. When you turn off the scary show what typically happens? What happens once it is off? You KEEP thinking about it! Right? Even more so then.

Learn How To Begin Making Everything Better Today

You turned it off to get away from it! BUT all you do is think about it! Again and again. In the dark, you cannot stop. You have to get up and turn on the lights. BUT still you keep thinking about it. That is the very thing you don’t want to! Don’t try to fight it by shutting it down.

The more you try to stop the more it keeps on. When you resist it what happens? You give it more energy. You are focused on fighting what you do not want so it persists even more! You do battle and IT does battle. When you push back IT pushes back and vice versa.

On and on it continues. The way to change something or to stop something is not to fight or resist it. Nope. If you want to stop thinking about the horrible show turn the channel! Watch something else. Get engaged with different upbeat content.

What You Resist Persist BUT You Can Change All That

Watch something funny. Watch something touching or endearing. Watch something inspirational. Soon you will forget about the bad show. Brains don’t stop. They keep working. It takes more energy to try to shut them down than to re-direct them into a useful area.

It takes more energy to dam up water than it does to divert it or re-direct it. Stop using your energy to fight it and instead redirect what you pay attention to. We do that with the radio. A song comes on we don’t like we change the station. We find something we do like!

You more easily think of something else when you direct your brain elsewhere. You withdraw your attention from what you don’t want and put your attention on what it is you do want. YOU change the channel in your mind!

Stop Perpetuating The Old Begin Making Everything Better Today

If you are thinking negative thoughts that bother you, you must shift away from them. Find other thoughts! Read inspirational material. Watch inspirational positive upbeat shows. Read the same kind of books, articles and blogs.

Fill your mind with the thoughts you prefer. Shift your thinking. Change the channel. Pay attention to the new thoughts, the new channel. It may take a bit to get engaged in the new material but stick with it.

Relief comes as you continue to focus on what you want to enjoy. The problem for most people is they don’t do it even when they know about it. If that’s you change your thoughts and behaviors. Take charge. Act in your own best interest. Change your thinking.

I go deep on mastering one’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors to get positive wonderful results to live healthier, wealthier and more happily in my online programs and live events. My goal is to help you create your best life ever. That is YOUR BEST LIFE EVER! Get this.

If you are not yet living it, you need to know you can. But you won’t if you keep on doing things the old way. You need to stop perpetuating the old painful ways and redirect. You need to shift and learn to do things a new positive and powerful ways. This process I’ve described is the beginning. Use it. Free yourself up. Come join me too. Check out what I have to offer. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

So Much Confusion Over The “Money Is The Root Of All Evil” Misquote!

“Today, let’s explore the notion of money and the love of money. Some people get upset whenever there is a discussion about money so it is important to clear the air as much as possible. I’ll quote from the original King James Version since that’s the oldest we have.

It’s not the original text but the most misunderstood and misapplied quote. ‘For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.’ 1 Timothy 6:10

In fact, let’s add context: ‘⁷For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. ⁸And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. ⁹But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.’

Change Your Thoughts To Transform Your Life

^’10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ¹¹But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.’

We come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing. Let’s be content with what we have BUT some fall into temptation. This is important. It is not about the ‘item’ but about those who fall into temptation and lust. ‘For the love of money…” Lusting after money.

It goes on to use the word ‘covet’ which is mentioned in the 10 commandments. ‘Thou shalt not covet.’ A definition of covet reveals it is ‘to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others: to covet another’s property.’ Get this. It’s not about the $$$.

You Must Change Your Thoughts To Transform Your Life

NOTICE the quote is, For the love of money is the root of all evil… it is not, money is the root of all evil. The quote is not at all about money. It is about how we think about it, lust after it, covet it and hoard it. ‘THEY have erred from faith…’ They erred, NOT money.

Money is energy. It’s a means of value exchange and a reflection of your creativity and ability to circulate energy. There is nothing good nor bad about money any more than there is good or bad about a hammer, a car, or a piece of toast. It’s your thoughts about money!

Your thoughts may be on or off-target. Coveting money is the issue. Lusting after another’s money is the issue. Not money! Money does nothing by itself any more than a hammer or toast does anything by itself. It is the human who needs to check motives. Stop coveting!

Stop Struggling! Change Your Thoughts And Everything Changes

It’s the mindset about money that’s the issue. Money is a means of exchange in this world. Jesus used it. God of the Bible used it. In fact, it is said God shall prosper us and help us live abundantly in all ways, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. It’s promised!

Realize too, there was a concerted push by the early church who required money for penance, to get days off of purgatory and to brainwash the populace that their money was not to be saved and used by them, but given to the church. Look up the church history!

The scriptures were said to be too lofty for the common person. Only a bishop or priest could interpret ‘god’s word.’ We’ve been misled for centuries by the ruling classes about money, faith and so much more, in a concerted effort to control the masses. Get this!

Do Nothing – Nothing Changes | Do This – Everything Changes

We’ve been inculcated that money is bad and the root of all evil. Nothing is further from the truth. It is the coveting, the lusting, of money that’s the issue. We can have a healthy relationship with money as Jesus and others have had. It is promised in the Bible.

It’s time to adjust your thinking. If you want something another has, that is wrong. You can have yours, without denying another theirs. End this zero-sum thinking that in order to win another must lose. Stop that and Shift! A rising tide floats everyone in the boat.

This IS what Jesus taught. He said, ‘love one another as I have loved you.’ Take care of each other. When you do, and you live in godly pursuit, all good things are yours. Not only will your needs be taken care of but you will prosper and live abundantly! BUT HOW?

Act Today And Everything Can Begin Changing Today

By developing the correct mindset and heart. We must get our thinking right, our hearts and spirit right. Then he prepares for us a banquet, anoints us with oil and leads us to green pastures. We are stewards of the world and each other. The better we take care of all of it, the better we all are in every way! Get this. Learn to think differently and prosper. Learn to be grateful, loving, caring and everything transforms. Learn to celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

With The Right Attitude You Can Do Anything

“Happiness in life comes at a price. That price is to decide each moment to be happy. Happy, or not happy, the choice is yours. Sadly, many people don’t think they can choose happiness. They believe it comes from outside them and strikes like lightning. Haphazardly.

The truth is this. Happiness is where you are. Stop chasing happiness. Be happy. How? Decide to be happy. Decide to look only for the best. Stop looking for what’s wrong. Maintain your focus on the good. No matter what else appears. What you focus on expands.

Consider challenges a blessing. Not hardships to be endured, but opportunities to grow and thrive. Grapes get crushed. Diamonds are fashioned under pressure. Steel is tempered in great heat by pounding. Decide that challenge is part of life and celebrate it.

Make Changes Easily And Swiftly Even If You Haven’t Before

Most people’s biggest problem is they think they shouldn’t have any problems. Perhaps, that’s your belief. You may want it easier. Okay, the way you make it easier is to look within you. Author, Victor Frankl endured concentration camps but remained positive!

Many people suffer and have nothing, but they remain happily contented because they know happiness is from within, now. It’s not from without, later. Choose to be happy and you will be happy. If you don’t choose to be happy, you won’t be happy. Except sometimes.

Maybe. If you get off track, get back on track as quickly as able. If you fall off the horse. Get back on it. Falling off the horse is part of riding it. Eventually, it happens less, but it’s always a possibility. Decide to accept AND let go of problems. Look for solutions.

Change Your Thoughts Today And Transform Your Life Forever

Live as cheerfully as possible. Be thankful for each moment. Live with gratitude. Really feel it. Celebrate and rejoice frequently every day. The more you do, the easier it becomes. What we want to do with ease, we must first do with diligence. Practice makes it easier.

Dropping balls is part of juggling. Celebrate the process. Celebrate all of it. Focus matters. So, manage your focus. Exercise your mind. Condition yourself. Develop the attitude. No one else can do it for you. Only you can do it. To have an incredible life, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Life is easier and more enjoyable than you ever realized. Learn to use your mind to get what you want!

GET LIFE ON YOUR TERMS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE

“Rex’s understanding of how the mind works and mindset is second to none. He wrote a book called Life On Your Terms. It’s a newer book. He jumps around a lot in the book with mindset topics; creating the life you want and developing a champion mindset. He’s really good. You can’t read this book and not think better, not think more productively, not think more efficiently, and not think with a lot more directed happiness in your life because he shows you how to do it in the book. I’m really glad he put out this book. I encourage you to buy it. It’s really good!’ Joe Soto International Marketing Specialist

All Things Go Better With This!

“I’ve learned things always work out for the best when you have the right attitude. I just never I know how they’re going to work out, but I know somehow it’s a blessing and I’ll be blessed. YUP! Every single time. When I think and feel positive I act positive.

When I feel confident, hopeful and joyful I know whatever situation comes my way I am able to handle it. I know I am able to handle it better when I am feeling my best than otherwise. So, I do those things that help me move into thinking and feeling optimal.

When I have faith and believe in myself, I know no matter what comes my way, I am resourceful and able to handle it. I know when I am thankful and filled with gratitude any challenges I face are opportunities to learn, grow and change for the better.

Make Changes Easily And Swiftly Even If You Haven’t Before

When I feel blessed nothing can stop me. So, each day I make time to put my head on straight and think the best thoughts, find the best feelings and take the best actions in my behalf. I take aim at my long and short-term goals and determine to make my dreams come true.

Throughout the day I make whatever adjustments I have to in order to maintain this mindset. Sometimes, it is very easy. Sometimes, it is more difficult, but I keep going. I’ve learned no matter what I always persevere. I adjust and continue. I keep going. I am committed.

When I am feeling the finest I know incredible things are coming my way. Even if I am not yet able to see them. As a result of my attitude, I find more opportunities and doors opening up. I’m a magnet. I attract all good things. I mean, why the heck not? I deserve good!

What You Don’t Do Runs The Show – It’s Important What You Do

I prefer how I am when I feel this way. Do I ever get down? Sure. When it happens I notice it. I accept it as a signal that something needs my attention to get back into harmony. I don’t fight it. I’m always learning to not resist. Whatever we resist, persists.

I’d rather turn resistance into assistance and move forward. So, I return to thinking positively about what I want to experience and I focus on that. It is no different than going to a buffet. There are things I like. Things I really enjoy and savor. AND savor them, I do.

There are items on the buffet I am not crazy about. Things I downright don’t like. When I encounter something I don’t like I don’t get bent out of shape. Instead, I move on to something I like. I choose what I want. I choose what I like. I don’t keep eating what I don’t like.

If You Do Nothing – Nothing Changes – Make The Change

I don’t spend the rest of my dinner worried about or thinking about what I didn’t like or want. I spend my time enjoying what I want to enjoy. My focus is on what I want. I stop and do not focus on what I don’t want. When I focus on the good I get more of it. Focus matters.

I keep my eye on the good no matter what the present moment is like. I choose where to place my awareness. In doing this I find I am creating all sorts of wonderful moments in life. I’m no expert. Believe me. I am so much better today than I was a while back.

It’s come at a cost. The cost is a bit of effort each day. The cost is persisting and never quitting. Regardless, of what’s going on or how I feel I make it a point to maintain my mindset as best as possible. Is it worth it? OH GOD ABSOLUTELY! The ROI is staggering.

You Can Change Your Thoughts And Transform All Your Life

It’s beyond anything I could have imagined. Well-being is so under-rated. I am blessed and finding more each moment. Life is good, life is great, life is grand! One of my favorite passages is from the Bible. “This is the day the lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.”

Whether you believe in a lord or not doesn’t matter to me. It’s a potent message to pay attention to. This is the day we have. Rejoice and be glad! I find this is a far better choice in how to spend any day than sad, angry, confused or hopeless. Positivity rocks!

Happiness, faith and good feelings are always a choice. I rejoice and am glad. Believe me when I say this. If I can enjoy my life and make positive changes for myself, ANYONE can. We’re all the same in spirit. I have no advantage in positive thinking at all.

Change Your Thoughts Today And Transform Your Life Forever

Is it worth it? Absolutely? It is really quite simple, and easy enough to do. Especially, if you decide to think about it that way. Perhaps, you want to read this over and over. It’s in first person for a reason. You can make the positive changes you’d like to. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
