“When I was a young teen, struggling through some tough times, my father said something that stuck with me: “You’ve got a black cloud following you.” It hit me like a ton of bricks. I believed it. I carried that thought with me, letting it shape my story. Whenever life threw me a curveball, I’d think, “Well, of course, I’ve got that damn black cloud hanging over me.” It was my excuse, my go-to explanation for every failure, every setback.

That cloud became my curse. BUT, let me tell you something: I knew better. I was reading Napoleon Hill and other greats who preached the power of positive thinking. But all that knowledge didn’t seem to stand a chance against the story I’d already written for myself. I was cursed, plain and simple. But then something clicked. I had this realization, a moment of clarity, that changed everything. I realized that not all clouds are the same.

Sure, there are storm clouds, the dark, menacing ones that block out the sun. But there are also beautiful clouds, the kind that light up the sky and make everything seem a little brighter. And here’s the kicker – I realized I could choose. Just like I could choose my thoughts, I could choose my clouds. So I started to visualize, really focus, on two clouds. One dark, one bright. I’d see the dark cloud shrinking while the bright one grew bigger and bigger.

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

This wasn’t just some mental exercise. It was a game-changer. It was a lynch pin. I had a positive energy cloud. I knew that where I put my attention mattered. I could feed the dark cloud or the bright one. And guess what? Whichever cloud I fed grew bigger. It was as simple as that. I had to train myself, day in and day out, to think positively, to feed that bright cloud until it became the dominant force in my life. But I didn’t stop there.

I turned these clouds into a tool, a way to measure where I was mentally and emotionally. If the dark cloud was bigger, I knew I had work to do. I needed to pour more energy into the bright cloud, more positive thoughts, more focus. It was my personal weather report, telling me what kind of storm, or sunshine, I was brewing inside. Think about it. Whichever cloud is bigger is where you’re spending most of your time mentally.

For years, I lived under that dark cloud because that’s the story I told myself. When I decided to rewrite that story, to shift my focus, everything changed. Now, my goal, every single day is to make sure the bright cloud is the biggest one in my sky. You can do this too. Close your eyes and imagine two clouds above you. Which one is bigger? This is more than just a visualization exercise. It’s a way of life.

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

The larger something is, the more mass, the more momentum it has. Picture a giant snowball rolling down a mountain, gathering speed and power as it goes. That’s what I want my positive energy to be like – a force that can’t be stopped. But it starts with choosing the right cloud to feed. Complaining, whining and blaming feeds the dark cloud. It zaps your energy, drains your mood, and leaves you feeling stuck. Fear and worry do too.

They drag you down, piling on the weight until that dark cloud is all you can see. Yes, fear can serve as a warning, a signal of what you don’t want. But here’s the deal: if you want to feel better, if you want to live under a bright, expansive sky, you can’t wallow in negativity. You can’t afford to. You’ve must shift your focus. Take 100% responsibility for your thoughts and feelings. No one else can do this for you. You must take charge!

That’s why I keep hammering the importance of managing your mind. When you take control, when you focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want, you start to build that massive, positive energy cloud. It gains momentum, becomes unstoppable. And that’s when you start creating, attracting, and living the life you truly desire. The bottom line: you choose. It is YOUR choice! Every single day, you choose which cloud to feed. Choose wisely. Feed that bright cloud, let it grow, and watch how your life transforms. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
