Ask Yourself, “What Do I Believe About Myself?

“Ask yourself, ‘What do I believe about myself? Who do I think I am?’ The answers matter. Whatever you believe about yourself determines what you think is possible. The beliefs you hold determine whether you are happy and successful or not. You feel uplifted and confident, or you don’t. Understand this. Whatever you hold to be true about you affects you. Who you think you are causes what you do and don’t.

The feelings you feel come from who you think you are. What you say and how you speak about yourself, and the world comes from who and what you believe yourself to be. Most people believe the world, circumstances, events and others hold power over them. They say, ‘I’m unhappy because he or she did this to me. I’m a failure because I never got my shot. The bank won’t approve my loan so I can’t do anything.’

Those are thoughts. Your beliefs are thoughts you repeatedly think to yourself. They may not be true, but they can hold you back if you let them. They’re what you say to yourself. They’re how you explain yourself and the world. AGAIN, they’re only thoughts. Here’s the big deal. You are the thinker. You think thoughts you came to accept about yourself while you were growing up. Then you looked for evidence of them.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Through experience you either validated them or dismissed them, let them go and decided to think something else instead. Many find validation for the limitations they accepted. If you thought differently, you could discover other ‘truths’. If you thought, you can instead of can’t it would’ve made a difference. DO you get this? Thinking makes it so. Saying it is so and seeing it as so, makes it that way.

What we hold in our mind determines how far we travel just as how much gas we have in our tank determines how far we can go. What you believe about yourself saves you or sinks you as Reverend Ike would say. AND again, here’s the thing. A thought isn’t anything but an electro-chemical impulse interpreted in the language you use. You think, ‘I am fat.’ Then you think, ‘I shouldn’t think that.’ Thoughts on thoughts.

You feel bad for being fat. Then on top of it you feel bad for feeling bad. Get this. Your inner critic, voice, monologue is just a kind of automatic tape loop that goes on endlessly. You may never be able to turn it off. However, you can decide what to listen to just as you can choose what to listen to on your radio. You are the thinker. You are the one who can choose. You may not have known this, but it’s true AND it’s up to you.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Instead of giving your power away to others, circumstances and events, take it back. Instead of thinking you’re a bad person for having certain thoughts, decide to think better thoughts. Think you are a good person. The only reason you don’t yet is because what you think is a habit. You think the same things day by day. You think the same thoughts over and over depending on what’s going on. They’re habitual.

Learn to think differently and you’ll feel differently. If you take the same path every day you see the same things. Take a different path and you see different things. Think different thoughts and you’ll feel different. Accept responsibility for thinking your thoughts. Blaming others, your past, parents or circumstances will just keep you stuck and not able to change. Decide to become choosy about thinking and think differently.

Decide to only think the best, most positive and optimistic thoughts about yourself and you’ll feel different. Feeling different will cause you to say and do different things and get different results. Want better results? Think better thoughts! Listen to what you say and how you say it and you’ll learn what you believe to be true. Your beliefs are expressed constantly. Your opinions and what you value are clues. as are your rules.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Ask yourself what you believe about yourself and who you think you are. If you don’t like the answer, change it. Whatever the answer was or is, IS causing you to suffer or enjoy your life. Ask yourself the question frequently and you’ll discover your assets and limitations. Beliefs aren’t true or not. They’re just useful. They either serve to make you feel better and do things or they don’t serve you.

Whatever problems you have or think you have come from your habitual thought patterns. Thought patterns are the automatic repetitive tape loops. Thought patterns can be changed. All habits can be changed. Believe it or not. BUT what you believe about your ability to change thought patterns determines the kind of experience you may go through. Get it? What you think is true, is true for you. Easy or hard? you decide!

They uplift or sink you. If you think you can or think you can’t, you’re correct. Said Henry Ford. He also said, I never let what I can’t do prevent me from doing what I can. Think about these statements. He says, don’t let your thoughts rule you. It’s important to understand. You ought to rule your thoughts. Whatever you believe determines how you will act. How you act determines your results. Start choosing to think better.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Understand that’s who you are. You’re the chooser! Stop acting, being and living like a victim. Take the reins and ride the horse. Tell the horse where you want it to go. Don’t let the horse decide. Don’t let automatic, habitual auditory tape loops or internal repetitive negative imagery decide for you. YOU decide. You take charge. You speak it and see it as it ought to be. What you believe and speak IS what you get! Get it?

Do this exercise to clean house. Throw out the old junk and make room for the new. Stop giving your power away. Stop blaming others or yourself. Start living better by thinking and feeling better. What you believe and say about yourself creates your heaven or hell. What you think about you bring about. Choose what you want to think and feel. You choose which road you want to travel on to get somewhere. YOU. YOU choose!

Understand whatever you choose to believe is true for YOU. It is your subjective truth. We’re not talking about objective, external truths. That’s a different discussion. What is true for you IS true for you. Whatever ever you choose to believe and there’s millions and millions of choices becomes YOUR truth. It’s your truth about you, others and the world. YOUR truth determines what you find in your world and what you miss.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Remember, YOU are the chooser and maker of your truth. You don’t say the road chose you. Be the boss of your thoughts. If you will, you’ll discover how much more wonderful life can be. Life gets better and better the more you love, laugh, learn and celebrate. The more grateful you are, the more incredible everything becomes. Want a good life? think good thoughts. Want more money? Think prosperously! Get it?

Want to be happy? Think happy thoughts. Want to feel peaceful? Think peaceful thoughts. Want love in your life? Think more loving thoughts. Decide what you want and think it into being. From within to without. Decide what you deserve. You are worthy. You can do this. It can begin to immediately change when you change it. Your problems no longer need to be your problems. They can be former problems. Let them go. Change your thinking (your beliefs) for the better. Do this. Rock it! Read ‘Life On Your Terms’ for much, much more. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why You Must Think Positive: My Money Manifesto # 9

“The conscious mind frequently gets a bad rap. It’s misunderstood. Though much less powerful than the subconscious mind, which too gets a bad rap, it still has an important function. Its prime purpose is to give positive messages to the subconscious mind. It is to think of your definite chief purpose, focus on it and feel good about it so that the subconscious gets the clear message this is your desire.

The subconscious prime directive is to keep you alive and to keep you thriving, fulfilling your purpose using the least effort and energy required to make this happen in accordance with natural law. It isn’t about flying monkeys and magic. It’s about manifesting your positive desires to keep you moving forward and evolving. The subconscious is ONLY a servant that depends on your instructions.

Most people don’t master thinking and feeling positively and optimistic. The instructions you send to the subconscious are either negative and not what you want, or confusing. If you focus on worries and fears, disappointments, complaints, blame and excuses, those thoughts and feelings become your present and future reality as a result. You live what you are already doing. BUT you can change that!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It is BE DO HAVE. Become a positive person by managing your thoughts and feelings to think positive and optimistically. Become a CAN DO person who does what you say you will. Live in gratitude and appreciation. BE IT by managing your thoughts and feelings so you pass positive instructions to the subconscious to make those reality. It’s there to serve you based on the instructions you provide.

Get this? From WHO you are, you will DO what works to make your dreams come true automatically and naturally. You won’t have to struggle or feel conflicted or sacrifice everything because your behaviors arise from the type of positive, optimistic CAN DO person you are. It doesn’t require massive energy or action to fulfill your purpose which you are passionate about. It’s natural.

Because you DO from WHO you are you can have anything you desire. You can create it, make it so, and attract it. It will come to you in normal and natural ways. It will come to you through other people according to the laws of the natural world. It won’t suddenly appear as if you waved a wand, but it may sometimes seem like that. Nothing comes from ‘out of the blue.’ YOU are responsible.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You are responsible for the good and not-so-good you experience. ONCE you fully get this, you’ll start focusing your energies and attention appropriately to eliminate more of what you don’t want and create more of what you do. People bad wrap the subconscious talking about self-sabotage. It can’t and doesn’t do that. YOU sabotage it by failing to give it the correct instructions and then blame it.

Get this. If you send someone a nasty message don’t be surprised if they react hurt or angry. You sent it. They react. You send crappy thoughts about problems to your subconscious; it takes them as instructions to bring you more. It’s a servant that carries out the orders you give it. What you focus on you get!! What you think about, you bring about!! How much clearer must it be to understand?

If you want more good in life. THINK MORE GOOD AND YOU’LL BE MORE GOOD. AS A RESULT YOU’LL DO THE GOOD NECESSARY TO HAVE THE GOOD YOU WANT MOST! Do you get this? I hope so. Here’s some quotes to help you appreciate this process and start doing it correctly. Shoddy practice produces shoddy results. If you want it enough, you’ll work on becoming a positive person.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

I like to include quotes from different authors who know what they write and speak. I enjoy presenting other’s voices for reference and further clarity. If you study just to know you will not get very far. It isn’t about having the right information if you don’t apply it. Some people are perpetual students, they can quote all sorts of facts and figures but not live the life they desire. Learn by doing!

Charles Haanel wrote, ‘Eliminate, therefore, any possible tendency to complain of conditions as they have been, or as they are, because it rests with you to change them and make them what you would like them to be. Direct your effort to a realization of the mental resources, always at your command, from which all real and lasting power comes.

Persist in this practice until you come to a realization of the fact that there can be no failure in the accomplishment of any proper object in life if you but understand your power and persist in your object, because the mind-forces are ever ready to lend themselves to a purposeful will, in the effort to crystallize thought and desire into actions, events and conditions. …

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It can therefore accomplish whatever it is directed to accomplish, and herein lies the power of the conscious mind; the subconscious can and will carry out such plans and ideas as may be suggested to it by the conscious mind … Conscious thought, then, is master of this sun center from which the life and energy of the entire body flows and the quality of the thought which we entertain (GET THIS!)

determines the quality of the thought which this sun will radiate … and consequently will determine the nature of the experience which will result. When you realize this, you will have found a source of power which will enable you to take care of any situation in life which may develop.’

GIGO – Garbage In Garbage Out. Focus on crappy thoughts and feelings and that’s what your subconscious takes as orders to multiple. Focus on good thoughts and feelings and that’s what your subconscious takes as orders to multiple. WHAT you get in your life IS directly tied to the instructions YOU supply to your subconscious. It creates the reality you entertain consciously! Want a different experience? ENTERTAIN different thoughts! Get this!! Understand this and you transform your life. Enough for today. More next time. Celebrate everything.

How You Make The Changes You Want: My Money Manifesto # 5

“Your subconscious is the mechanism by which your most important, authentic purpose is manifested. It can and will do it. That’s what it does. That’s why you manifest good, and you manifest crap. Because it’s capable of doing either. It doesn’t evaluate or judge which is which. It just does what it does based on the high signal value it receives from you consciously. You get what you focus on.

Get clear on your purpose and it will work to deliver that for you. Remain befuddled and you’ll continue to get befuddled results. Clarity and white-hot passion matter. Being specific and feeling intensely about what you want to create is the secret. See and feel and speak what you want clearly. Express all the incredible feelings you’d have if that became your reality. Live as if you already are it.

In ‘Life On Your Terms’ I share that Muhammed Ali, one of the world’s greatest boxers, hated to train BUT he knew that to be a world champion he must train. So, he trained even when he didn’t feel like it. This is so important. The feeling of being the best was more important than the feeling of not training. Instead of giving into the ‘not training feelings’ he intensified the feelings of his purpose.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Most people don’t have what they want because they let other things interfere. They’re lazy, they prefer the couch, they don’t want to pay for it, they are distracted, they’ve excuses. They don’t get what they want because they aren’t committed to what they want. They let other things, other people, other circumstances, other desires, distractions, keep them from what they want most.

Their inner authentic desire is hidden and put on a back burner with a low flame. It’s delayed. It takes longer. If you really want it, you must release and forgo the distractions and excuses. Get it? Consciously, you may doubt, fear, waffle, backslide and misstep BUT your subconscious doesn’t. It is a delivery mechanic. It is a servant. WHAT you want most it will deliver to you. It SERVES you!

It uses the least energy, the least effort or struggle and the easiest and most natural means for you to get what you want. It works according to natural laws. It is not magical. You don’t wave a wand and a car appears in your driveway. You get the car how you would naturally in the world. You could pay for it, it could be left to you, it could be a gift, you could win it, but it comes by normal means.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

YOUR subconscious is ALWAYS successful. ALWAYS! That IS why you have what you currently have instead of what you claim you want. You are getting what’s important to you. It is successful giving you the crap you don’t want, because that’s what your attention is on most frequently and you feel strongly bad about it. It gives you more of the same because that’s your focus.

You’re already getting what you desire most and it’s not your most cherished and valued desire! You’re getting the distractions, the doubts, fears and frustrations that occupy your attention. You’re getting the negative you entertain instead of rejecting it. You’re creating your current conditions by what you allow to rent space in your head and the feelings that accompany that. Understand?

Those feelings are driving everything. You must learn to shift away from focusing on what you don’t want and exclusively focus on what you do want AS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE IT! Otherwise, you create more wanting not more having. You must learn to control your emotions to maximize their effectiveness. Suppressing emotions is not healthy. You’re an emotional being. Express yourself!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Full expression is what life is about. Society seeks to contain us. Live free. Your feelings and emotions are energy and vibrations. They should be positive, strong and healthy. They should be a strong electrical current, not a weak one. It should be a roaring fire within, a white-hot obsession, not a weak tiny fire. Get this. Your subconscious responds to the highest, strongest signals you feed it.

Feel your best most often. Live fully. Live passionately. Pursue your purpose with passion. Napoleon Hill said to turn the desire you have into a passionate white-hot obsession. All positive change begins with strong desire. Weak desire is like that little flame. Concentrate your energy, your attention and your power on your purpose, instead of letting it get dissipated by distractions. More next time. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“One of the best books in personal development published in the last 25 years.” Moe Rock CEO & Publisher Los Angeles Tribune

“Pondering the purchase?………….DO IT! I have been a follower of Rex’s material for 7 years. I started roughly 25 years ago interested in NLP and Hypnosis for my own personal self-improvement. I bought seminar recordings, books, attended seminars, and as I look back those times when I was doing it, they are some of the most wonderful times of my life. I started a business I dreamed of, I got married, we had kids, I started a new job, I got divorced, my job become mind numbing, and I realized I had become complacent. My mind would ruminate more than it would just DO.

I bought the book and by chapter 3 I had read “DO IT” with so many vital explanations of how motivation works, I went to the store and started compiling my own book. You know, the one I had been ruminating about for 9 months. I handed Rex’s book to my girlfriend to read, I ordered another book (I anticipate another 2 purchases), and I am writing this review early, but it is so good.

Rex Sikes is the Bruce Lee of Self Help. This is a book you will read so DO IT!” Mike J Keebaugh

Two Forms Of Matter Can’t Occupy The Same Space

“‘… think of your life as a crowded pantry shelf. To make room for anything else you would have to remove from that shelf something you wanted less,’ is another favorite Elsie Benedict quote. She adds, the Law of Compensation states, ‘if you want something you haven’t got, merely take off the shelf something you already have, and make room for the newer and better and more desired thing.’

Well, it’s true. Two forms of matter cannot occupy the same space. If your ‘pantry shelf’ is littered with doubt, fear, confusion, chaos, frustration, debt, anger, worry, sadness, looniness or something else to make room for the new desires you must remove these. It means you must be willing to let go of and release any attachment to your old way of being so you can begin to live the new way. Let it go.

You don’t have to fight or force the unwanted things to go away, you simply stop giving them energy. You refuse to let them occupy space inside you. You stop feeding the weeds. If you remove the life energy from them, they will wither away on their own. Your job is to nurture the good you desire. Feed the flowers. In letting go of the things you fight and don’t want; you make room for the better things.

Replace fear with courage. Replace sadness with joy. Replay doubt with certainty. Replace laziness with action. Replace negativity with positivity. Replace worry with optimism. Replace hate with love. Get it? Replace indecision with decisiveness. Make room for the good you want in your life. ‘If it is to be, it is up to me.’ Create positive space within. Nurture and encourage goodness.

Appreciate and feel grateful for all. Life is a gift. The ability to become aware of what prevents you and release it is a gift. It will come through discomfort. When the shoe fits you don’t notice it, but when it is too tight, and blisters form you do. It is through the discomfort and challenges our opportunities present themselves. Our troubles are gifts to become conscious, aware, awake and to transform. Be grateful for this and grateful for all. Get it? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

2 Reasons You Get Crappy Results

“The reason you get crappy results are few, simple but pervasive. Two things are possible. 1. You are focused on what you DO NOT want. You think and imagine what you want but really, you’re more focused on what you want to avoid or get rid of AND not what you want. What you think about, you bring about. If you are focused on the opposite of what you want, that’s what you get.

Change this if this is what you are doing. You need to check this and make certain you direct your attention at what you want and imagine living from that. Live as if you already have it in your imagination. Feel it. See it from your point of view. Experience having it within using all your senses. Experience what it’s like to already be it. Experience what it’s like to already be doing it.

Experience what it’s like to already have it. You own it. Feel it. If you already have it you don’t want it because you already are it, are doing it or you already have it. Get this. This is very important because 2. You’re thinking about NOT HAVING what it is you want. You’re in that gap between having it and not having it. A bridge spans both sides. You must be on the side you want to be on, not anywhere else.

Some people don’t realize they/re focused on lack. They think they are focused on what they want but instead are thinking mostly about what they don’t yet have. They notice the distance between where they are, and their goal and they despair. You do not move uphill thinking downhill thoughts. You can’t want something and feel bad about not having it and expect to get it.

You can’t be looking at the gap and feeling great. You can’t be focused on how far you are from the finish line. You need to focus on having already won the prize and how great that feels. Mentally and emotionally excel and give your best. Some people want to speed read books as much as possible to get all sorts of info. It is not about how fast you do something.

It is not about how quick you get success. It is about HOW MUCH TIME YOU PUT INTO getting what you want and the quality of that time. It is better to devote a half hour of concentrated focus on your goals than to be hasty and spend much of your time wanting, wishing, doubting, worrying and afraid you won’t get it. It takes time for seeds to sprout and plants to grow.

The quality of the time spent makes all the difference in your ability to reach your goal more readily and easily. Since it may take time to get what you want the question is how you are spending your time? If you were absolutely certain you had it, how would you think, feel, speak and behave? If you’d won the lottery and they were sending a check on a certain date how would you feel prior to getting it?

A plant is either growing or dying. You’re either mostly positive or mostly negative. To get what you want as soon as possible you need to be mostly positive and optimistic, feeling wonderful most of the time. You can add in positive practices bit by bit that make you feel better and better. You can decide to begin and end each day well. I have given you some ideas for this in other posts.

I’ll share the 2nd ingredient in an upcoming blog. This blog site is devoted to assisting anyone in making changes. There are powerful ideas and principles shared in each article. Re-read this blog and spend time filling your mind with positive ideas. In my workshops we have an added advantage of troubleshooting and answering questions, providing immediate feedback that we don’t have here.

So, I am trying to be as thorough and complete as possible in each post to point you towards what you can do to make a real difference in your career and life. If you want to be happy you need to begin by thinking happy thoughts. It doesn’t work the other way around. Thinking external things bring us happiness is one of the great lies. If you want happiness, health and success it begins on the inside.

You create it all within you and then in your outer world. The results you get are determined by your dominant thoughts and feelings. Think and feel the best most of the time and your life will be amazing! Truly, you can be, do and have anything you think you can. Make your day marvelous. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How Hardship Helps Us!

“Hardship helps us! It’s part of life. Some gripe and think life should be easier. They give up when the going gets rough. People get comfortable and lazy. They don’t stretch and grow. They become set in their ways, mentally, emotionally, physically. The brain while keeping you consistent craves novelty, challenge and growing opportunities. Use it or lose it is what Neuroplasticity is about. Use it well.

The brain grows. Ignore it and it atrophies. Life is a process and ever changing. Yet, people want to keep it comfortably fixed. They’d like to end upheavals and live without issue. Life just isn’t that way. Not only is life a process but you are a process. Your being is a living process. YOU are in the PROCESS of changing. You aren’t at the end yet. Everything changes. Good or not-so-good is your judgement.

Most want only good. They do anything to eliminate and avoid the not-so-good but the not-so-good serves a purpose. It gives us things to do. It challenges us. It requires us to examine ourselves and what’ going on. It forces us to be different as circumstances change. It makes us leave our comfort zone. Oh, how we hate it, but it’s a gift. It is an opportunity for so many things. It is good for us.

Like bad tasting medicine. We could decide to think, feel, speak and act differently. few of us will because most will fall back into their default conditioning. They will live habitually as they have and react to the difficulty as they always do instead of transforming it. Instead of learning from it and understanding their role in it they’ll fight it, complain about it and blame. This doesn’t help much.

When we get to the end of our rope. When we run into our old programming and finally discover it is not adequate to navigate the difficulty, is when we can stop perpetuating the old, release it and begin to explore new ways to think, feel and be. There’s a price to pay for everything. The price for transformation is being forged through pressure and heat as coal is to become diamonds. As steel is.

You must endure and be strong. This is why mindset is important. Weak thinking leads to the same old poor results. When troubles come along instead of first resisting and setting up more conflict, decide to attempt to welcome it. Yes, welcome it. Take it as an important love letter from a trusted friend. Attempt to discover what you can learn about yourself, what you must learn to transform. Investigate.

Instead of complaining and blaming, accept responsibility for it whether that is an honest, accurate assessment or not. Think, this is happening for me. I brought it to me to learn and to change and to grow and to be better off. Accept it and be grateful. Some will say they can’t do this. Others do it because they’ve learned to. You can too. Whatever is worth learning may seem difficult at first.

However, the more you do the more you can do. You can acquire new positive habits that serve you better than the previous conditioning you got while growing up. Then you didn’t have a choice. Now, you can choose how you want it. Imagine these circumstances are there for your ultimate good. You will learn and grow as a result. You don’t know what the good is, but you know it’s there for you.

Accept all. Celebrate it all. Appreciate all. Allow all even while you work to change it. When you release the old conditioning and your reactions you are more likely to intuitively discover the right thoughts, feelings and right actions that will bring about better results. If you celebrate all the journey while journeying the entire experience is better and more enjoyable. Explore. Adventure. Be grateful.

Elevate your thinking and feelings. Vibe high. Seek to rise above difficulty. You’re bigger than problems and issues. You must learn this.

Here’s How You Can Stop Things From Being A Problem

“How people keep their problems alive is similar to what you do to create a positive life. The actions are the same, but the content is different. You focus on the positive. You focus on what you can be, feel and do that makes you awesome instead of downtrodden. You celebrate, love, laugh, smile, be grateful and enjoy! Most people have it backwards.

Their positive tap is shut and doesn’t flow. They allow the negative to run on and on. Get this because it is precisely what we do. It’s what you do. THEY ALLOW IT! YOU ALLOW IT. It is a choice. They get what because they don’t choose otherwise. They get what they don’t want and feel bad. Imagine that. They focus on crap and get it. What do you think you would get focused on?

They think about it more and complain about it and as a result they get further stuck in it and complain about it more. It spirals down. If you want it to be different, stop this! It’s your choice. If you say, I can’t. That is your choice. You are always choosing whether you’re aware of it or not. Start making better choices. If you say you can’t, then practice making better choices until you are better at it.

Hot and cold water can come out of the same tap. If you don’t want one you shut it off and turn the other on. It’s the same with your thoughts and feelings. Learning to get free from your troubles and create your life the way you want is a knack. It is simply changing what you are doing. It is shutting one off and letting the other run.

Adjust what you have been doing to favor what you want instead of what you don’t want. Turn off the power to the less than glorious by shifting your attention to what is glorious about you and your world. Drop the familiar, the old ways that got you into the mess and venture into newness. Move forward in new ways. You get what we think about most during the day.

Imagine what you DO want NOT what you don’t. Affirm what you want, not the problems. Aim your thoughts, feelings, words and actions at your dreams and you can make them a reality. Don’t let tough times bring you down. Move through them no matter how tough they may be. You can do it. Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate all day today! Get this. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Never Get Rich Focused On Poverty

“Why does this matter? How is it true? When it comes to troubles, and less than glorious thinking you can make it through if you believe you will. If the odds seem stacked against you, don’t lose hope. Think ‘this too will pass’. Keep it in your mind that you will see it through. Don’t complain or speak ill. Why? Because you never get rich focused on poverty. Okay, so why is it this way?

Because if you always say what you have, you will always have what you say! You create and maintain your circumstances through your mindset and what you think, feel and say to yourself and others. As long as you are focused on what hurts, what sucks, what’s not right and feeling bad you will remain stuck. To leave these behind you have to do something other than what you have been doing.

You must place your attention on what you want instead. Concentrate on what is wonderful and meaningful. You won’t get somewhere new taking the same old worn-out path. To be different you must do things differently. If you want what is going on to change you must make some changes. Remember, ‘can-do’ not can’t. Keep the faith and make it a point to learn from the challenges.

Have You Discovered The Attitude Activator™ Experience Yet? You Must!

There will be something to learn that is most certain. You will make it! You can see it through! Attempt to drop the head work and work from the heart instead. Find ways at difficult times to love more, to give more, to comfort more and to complain less. Laugh more, celebrate and be grateful for what you have. We become what we think about all day long.

Find a way to take your mind off the troubles. Put your attention on how you can better serve others and who you love. Remember, you won’t get rich thinking about poverty. The way out of your troubles is a different path. The old way IS not the way. People support keeping their troubles unintentionally.

They focus on them, talk to everyone about them and they let it consume their minds day and night. They worry, which is truly negative goal setting because it is keeping one’s mind occupied with the worst. It is planning to get what you don’t want. Stop it! They imagine things going wrong. It isn’t difficult to believe that they probably don’t feel their best, or are the healthiest.

Use The Attitude Activator™ to transform you and your business!

They are stressed and feeling down. Everything they do on the inside supports and maintains keeping the outside problems the same. As above, so below. Our thoughts determine our actions, and these determine our reality. Want reality to change? Change your thinking. They never seem to create an opening for themselves to feel better and enjoy life more, but YOU can!

All it takes is a small opening to let a lot of light in. A small flame is still a flame. Find it and fan it. Do what you can do to help the flames grow. Create more light for yourself. Thought always precedes action. Take control of your thoughts. The more you do this the more you will be able to do.Believe in yourself and your resourcefulness to find solutions even if you don’t, yet, know how.

What you expect makes a big difference. Expect a better day to come along. Expect the best of yourself. Know you will make it and that better times are yours. You will see it through your troubles when you believe you can. The difference between thinking negatively and positively is what you plan for. Therefore, plan for the best. Better to be disappointed that to expect the worse and get it.

Discover The Attitude Activator™ Experience!

How Successful People Handle Stress And Disappointment?

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

It’s their ability to take disappointment or setbacks as temporary. They aren’t defeated by defeats. They keep going. Often in business, setbacks come one after the other, but successful people don’t let that dampen their motivation or persistence. They continue onward. They maintain their attitude and expect things to work out for the best. They weren’t born this way.

These are skills they learned and cultivated. You too can learn to be more adaptable and flexible in your approach too. You can be more resourceful in your work and in pursuing your goals and dreams. You can move forward and not give up when challenges come your way or pile up. How? How can you get through troubled times more easily and keep going?

Attitude Makes The Difference

Develop an unstoppable, optimistic, powerful positive attitude that keeps you committed and persistent. Develop an attitude that is open, curious and available to always discover new and good around you. Learn to be captivated by quality and goodness. Develop a prosperous attitude for health, happiness, wealth and relationships.

Seek the good. Find and emphasize the good in all your experiences. Remember it’s darkest before the dawn and every dark cloud has a silver lining. There is the equivalent seed of opportunity YOU CAN find but you must look, in every adversity. Troubles are gifts. When you realize this, you begin to soar with the eagles. Discover the power of attitude in your ability to always feel blessed and in all situations. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What You Can Learn And Acquire From Romance

“I don’t even remember where I saw this, but it is relevant. Someone was discussing sexual attraction and romance movies. The person pointed out that sexual attraction is fraught with friction. As is our enjoyment of sex. It was pointed out that attraction plus obstacle equals desire. In other words, the more difficult it is to attain the more we want it. That’s a truism. Most of us understand this.

They went on to point out that without the obstacle there is no romantic comedy movie. Romcom movies are basically, they meet. Then there’s an obstacle or obstacles to their romance which makes them want it more. So, desire is enhanced by the difficulty that is overcome to get something. Again, so very true. Who’d have thought an analysis of romance movies might be so meaningful.

Many of us deeply want what we don’t think we can have. We also desire something and go for it only to have obstacles arise. It gets tougher to get what we want. SOME give up. They throw in the towel. Others want it more and do whatever they must legally to get the win/win outcome they desire. Not all people are so gracious it is true. The point remains. You want something and ‘shit’ happens.

In business and anything in life, if you can’t immediately get it you tend to desire it more. If it is too easy it can also end too quickly. Obstacles fuels the desire. If someone wants another person in a romcom movie and the other person says yes right away, there is no movie. Without friction there is no climax! Understand this is true in everything.

Use The Attitude Activator™ to transform you and your business!

The harder you attempt to make it yours the more value it has to you. Never worry about the hardship. Lessons are learned. Values are determined. Possibilities are created. Resources are accessed. There is good in all of it. Learn instead to love life. Enjoy the journey whatever it is. Your greatest transformation will occur when you learn to celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
