Without The Will To Do It You’ll Go Nowhere!

Why the moon photo? Because when Wernher von Braun was asked by President Kennedy what it would take to put a man on the moon and return him safely to earth his reply was short, but it spoke volumes! It was the truth. His answer to that is his answer to us.

von Braun replied, ‘The will to do it’. It’s the same with any and all of your goals. Will is more important than skill! Skill comes from doing. Will comes from your mindset, attitude and your passion. If those aren’t great, and if you’re not passionate, most likely you won’t.

Will means you don’t quit no matter the odds or opposition. Challenges and problems are part of the journey to be resolved, solved or overcome. There are boulders in most streams. You need to make sure your mindset is a champion mindset to prevail!

You Won’t Always Be Motivated – So You Must Be Disciplined

Make sure you have a will of steel. When you’re certain you will do it, no matter what, you will get further than people who never commit to making it happen. All successful people do this. They know and do things you don’t. If you want to be successful you must do it, too.

Develop a champion mindset, a heart burning with desire and passion, and will of steel. Without these, you are bound to quit along the way. You won’t keep on going to make your vision and mission happen. You need to learn what the successful people know and do that you haven’t yet. You need to develop your mindset. Then skill will come from doing BUT to know, and not do is to actually not know at all. Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes

The Will Must Be Stronger Than The Skill!

“Successful people know something those who haven’t succeeded don’t know. People who have gone further in their pursuits than others know what got them there. They know what to do and what not to. They may have learned by trial and error, but they know.

How many successful people do you know who had it easy all the way? Sure, there may be some, but most have known incredible hardship and odds stacked against them, yet they persisted and made it happen! They know what gives them the edge.

Last post, I shared some quotes that are important! Reflect on them. I share a few more now. Keep these thoughts in mind. The people quoted reached the top of their game. They tell it like it is. Listen and be willing to learn from them. Develop a champion mind. Listen!

All these quotes in this blog post are from Muhammad Ali:

‘I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.’

‘It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.’

‘Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.’

Your mindset makes all the difference. Your mindset determines how far you will go. It determines your passion and commitment, you will and enthusiasm. It determines your persistence and whether or not you quit. If you aim high and keep going without stopping, adjusting as necessary but keeping the faith, you can make it happen. You only need to do the right things often enough for long enough. Do it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Handle Self-Doubt, Insecurity And Fear Of Failure

“Each of us have issues that bother us. We grew up and learned to think, feel and behave less than gloriously. Many of us made negative thinking and feeling a habit. People who habitually think negatively experience the negative consequences in their lives almost daily.

Those who make positive thinking, feeling and behaving habits experience the effects of positivity in their lives! If you aren’t living the way you want, or thinking and feeling better and better, you can learn to! It is simple. It means learning and making new habits.

It takes time and dedication to learn new habits just as it takes time to get good at a sport, or convert fat into muscle through exercise. It doesn’t happen over night. It happens by training and correct repetition, consistently, for a long enough time to become habit.

You Are Right Where Your Thoughts Have Brought You

You can do it! You no longer have to be a victim or your own thoughts or feelings. While you shouldn’t ignore an injury or illness but seek the appropriate care, whether physical, mental or spiritual, you still can learn to break through limitations and evolve yourself.

Stop being a victim of your feelings. Lot’s of people don’t feel like doing things so they don’t. Others, don’t feel like doing things, but do them anyway! I share with you two examples in their own words. They conditioned themselves for success. You can too!

‘I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights where I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You don’t embrace it.’ Kobe Byant

The More We Do The More We Become Capable Of Doing

‘I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion… Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.’ Muhammad Ali

None of these people were born different. Kobe Bryant, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, or Ali Raisman (whom I have blogged about recently). They made a conscious decision to be different. Each decided to become the best, no matter what the odds. You can too! You can!!

The Wright Brothers, Tesla, Einstein, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet all chose to move ahead too. The didn’t let parents or peers or experts, or circumstances hold them back! They learned to move forward and maneuver around them. Each developed their mindset!

You Go Where Your Thoughts Take You – You Create Your Future

YOU can too! Whether you do or don’t is up to you. Swim or sink it is your decision. I’ll be posting more on this topic. This blog (and all of my programs) is intended to help inspire, motivate and get you to decide to be AND live your best! To create your best life ever!

No one can do it for you, but you can learn how. You must say, ‘yes I will’ and then commit and persist. If you need or want help, reach out. I am here. Check out the Mind Design™ link below.

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

What Must You Have To Get What You Want Most?

“A wise plan is needed to make what you want happen. The point of football is to get the ball between the goal posts. You practice and plan to move the ball forward to the goal. You plan for what could go wrong and practice for when the other team has the ball too.

How might the other team prevent you, stop you, or snatch the ball? A wise plan plots the way and considers contingencies; when things don’t go as planned. Plan offensively, positively, powerfully and defensively. Plan for what happens when it doesn’t go as planned.

BOTH are necessary. Plans almost never work they way they’re expected to. You must adjust all along the way. Keep adjusting, but remain committed. Persist. Don’t quit until you get what you intend. Don’t stop short of the goal. If you give up, you’re done.

The Mind Is As Strong As Its Weakest Think

Quitting is the sure way to fail. Keep going. You may not get everything you want, but you’ll get further than if you never attempt it. Nothing happens on its own. You make it happen. Gather a good team, and do your best. Stay positive and remain focused.

Learn, develop, grow and get better at what you do. The more you do it the better you get. When asked what it would take to land a man on the moon and return safely, Werner Von Braun replied, ‘the will to do it.’ The will to make it happen. Assume you will succeed.

To start off assuming you won’t succeed is folly. It’s a waste of your time and power. Yet, many people begin this way. They want something and then decide it isn’t possible. They get negative and find reasons why it won’t work. They fail. They don’t go for it.

If You Really Want Something You Will Find The Way

If it is what you want to do decide you will make it happen. Develop a will of steel. Have the backbone to see your decision through until you make it happen. See it through! Be certain you’ll do it. Don’t let naysayers stop you BUT remain open to feedback.

Remain open to learn things you know nothing about. Others may have valuable insights. Listen. Don’t listen to Donnie and Debbie Downer being negative. Approach it realistically, reasonably, gather information, and learn everything you need to. Learn from mistakes.

Use what you learn to move forward again. Don’t throw in the towel. Anything worth having is worth what it takes to make it happen. It won’t be easy, but then few things are. If you want it passionately enough, and you decide it is needed, then you’ll prevail.

You Go Where Your Thoughts Take You – Stop Making Excuses

Decide to see it through. If it isn’t that important to you, you will drop out along the way. If it’s going to happen it’s up to you. Celebrate the success of others. Find people who you can assist and who can assist you. You get further along together. When each person, works together IN HARMONY, and cooperates as a team many things thought impossible, become possible. Do it. Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes

To Get To The Very Top You Must Understand This

“To get to the top of the mountain is an uphill climb. Only those who deem it worthy to attempt will even bother to try. Knowing how to get to the top and doing it are different aspects of the climb. You must plan it and carry it out to succeed, adjusting along the way.

The mountain might defeat, you but you will never know until you give it a go. Everest couldn’t prevent Hillary. Hard roads are still roads. If you don’t travel them you will never know what they led to. You have to be bold, wise and persist. You have to want it enough!

You must decide you will and be certain you will. That means you must possess a champion mindset. There’s no room for wimpy or negative thinking. What prevents people is the thought it cannot be done. People just attribute the thought to the outside events, people and circumstances. Giving up or going forward are from within. It is your thoughts you must first conquer. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Improve At What You Do

“Do you struggle with personal or professional improvement? Some people don’t know what to do to get better in some area of their life. What do you want to improve? It could be taking pictures, bowling, writing, skiing, knitting, relating with others, learning, anything.

I share two important quotes by author, entrepreneur James Altucher. ‘Today I will try again. And tomorrow. And then the next day. If I don’t get better, I will at least have fun trying. And what else is there in life but to play as much as possible?’

The second quote is: ‘If I can’t listen, I can’t learn. If I am speaking, I can’t listen. If I am answering, I’m not asking.’ Both make great sense don’t you think? Both are simple to apply. Perhaps, you will. By doing so you might have more fun, improve and learn something. What could be better than that? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Make Better Progress In Quicker Time

“For those who say ‘can’t’, I say you haven’t thought it through enough to say ‘can’. There will always be those who say ‘no’. Few say ‘yes’. I’m not interested in what ‘can’t be’ done, nor the reasons for why it ‘can’t be’. Reasons are not good enough reasons to not do it.

My interest is in what we can do, and accomplish together, to make things better for all. CAN is my interest. Can means doing. It means accomplishment. Can means possible. What’s possible is infinite. What stops most people is thinking it can never be. That’s sad.

We’d never have electricity, the lightbulb, running water, the phone, refrigeration, air travel, or much of anything else, if we listened to the experts, the pundits, the politicians who said it could not be. ‘If man were meant to fly he’d have wings.’ Well, he flies! We do!

The More We Do The More We Become Capable Of Doing

We have those things because some bold, courageous and unstoppable people decided it was worth it to make those things happen. They weren’t stopped, or prevented, by those with little faith, big doubts, and reasons why not to pursue it. Get it?

They persisted until they got what they intended to! We made it to the moon because we decided to. When President Kennedy asked Wernher Von Braun what would it take to land a man on the moon and bring him back safely, Von Braun answered, “The will to do it.”

We did it because we intended to do it. Now, let’s intend to and let’s make life better for all people and the planet. Leave the next moon trip for later, after we solve more of the world issues. We can go to the moon again, or mars, once we first take care of our life and home on this planet. Don’t you think life here is important enough? Let’s make all life on earth our priority. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Wealth And Happiness Secret Revealed

“There is wealth and happiness secrets. Most of them are in the open and people just don’t realize they are right in front of them. They remain hidden because people don’t or won’t see. You can create the life and wealth you want putting this into action.

Ignorance, or not knowing, is one thing. It’s quite another to not do what’s in your best interest because of stubbornness, doubt or fear. Things don’t magically appear. You make them happen. The right sequence to making things happen is specific and it is powerful!

It’s said, ‘If you can hold it in your head, you can hold it in your hand’. Our inner thoughts create present and future reality. Become the director of your inner movies. Make them compelling, fascinating, riveting, and fantastic to you get the future you want. Feel them!

Secrets Are Useless Until You Put Them Into Action – Then WoW

There’s no limit to what you can create that is wonderful. The only limits existing are the ones you don’t explore going beyond. Anything is possible. Think big, strong positive thoughts. Think these thoughts often, daily, and you can bring your dreams into being.

Write and view and craft the future you. Craft these inner movies. Make these as real as possible. See, hear, feel, taste and smell them. Make them vibrant and wonderful! Make them real and compelling. When you look at them you feel excited in every cell of your body.

Begin the process. Stick with it. If you tried it before and didn’t make it work, DO IT AGAIN. If you quit or give up it definitely will not work. You will keep creating exactly what you’re presently getting. If you don’t make it happen it is not likely to happen! Get it?

If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Correct

Focus on your inner visualizations or movies. Visit and watch them often each day. Affirm you are a creator creating wealth and all good things. You’ll know you are on the right track when you run them in your head and you feel eager, excited, certain and unstoppable!

You’ll know you are on the way to making it happen when you think to yourself, ‘this is mine!’ When you’re certain you are going to have it is when you make it happen. More in upcoming blogs. Keep reading. In fact, make a study of this. Go back and review. That’s how you make things happen. Fill your mind. Take action. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why Even Bother?

“If you never do anything about getting your goals, or if you quit going after them, don’t expect much. But if you stick with it, even though it doesn’t seem to be happening now, if you stick with it, you will make it happen. Persist! You can do it. Have faith! Be patient.

Everything has a season. Whatever you plant now, grows invisibly. Then sprouts later. What is invisible now, that’s not seen, is around. It is in development, currently developing. Everything takes time. Stay flexible. You will do it. There is a time for everything.

Always remember this. What you are creating now manifests later. It may not happen when you hope it will but It will happen if you stay with it. Give up and it won’t happen. Persist. See it through. Keep the faith. Make it happen. Intend it and do it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Doing This But Not That Means You Are Bound To Fail!

“The Chinese Bamboo is a favorite topic of mine. I’ve written on it numerous times here. As readers of my blog, you know it is about personal development, inspiration and gratitude. This tree grows for 5 or more years underground then shoots up 90 ft within 60 days.

The Chinese Bamboo analogy is perfect for describing the process one goes through in becoming a better person, and in accomplishing one’s purpose and achieving one’s goals. You may not see results for a long period of time but everything IS working together. TRUST!

You gotta believe and stay committed even when it appears hopeless. As I have often pointed out, the Wright Brothers didn’t know how to fly until after they flew. Prior to flying they were experimenting to find what, if anything, worked. Get it

You Must Keep The Faith In Spite Of All Odds And Opposition

The same was true of Edison and of Ford. They dreamed of making the world a place lit by electricity and populated by iron horses. Edison, tried 10,000 times without success. Ford pushed his engineers to develop the V8 when they said it was impossible.

Ford pushed them for years! Breakthroughs come when they come. Breakthroughs often come at surprising times, usually not when we expect. Imagine how surprised the first planters of the Chinese Bamboo tree must have been. Imagine what they thought about.

Nothing. No sign of any tree for 5, 6 even 7 years and then suddenly it shoots up 90 feet tall. You know the tree didn’t begin growing 90 feet at the end of 5 years. It was growing invisibly underground all that time. How long do you think it took them to catch on?

You Get What You Focus On – Focus On Attaining Your Dream

If you look at the lack of circumstances or negative circumstances and allow that to contaminate your attitude, feelings or actions you will find that you get poor results. If you throw in the towel you most certainly will not make your dreams come true. You must persist.

The fruits of our mindset, attitude and labor, often are not seen for quite a while. Hang in there. Keep the faith. Stay committed. Don’t doubt. Don’t give up. Things are happening, as long as what you want to accomplish is still being nurtured by you. If you stop nurturing, your dream will certainly die. Persist and you will one day see results. Meanwhile, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
