Here we are with Part 3. So remember:

“Write your goal down. Write down what you absolutely must have. I have mentioned choosing an appropriate goal (one you DO believe you can make happen) to develop your concentration and abilities in getting what you want in Part 1. Now I will share getting the goal you absolutely must have. Your big goal. The principles apply to all your goal setting and dream fulfillment.

It has been called ‘Your Definite Chief Purpose in life’, ‘Your Chief Aim’, or ‘What you were born to be’.

The question is What is it you have always wanted most in life? What would make you the happiest if it were to be fulfilled?

For some it is a wonderful relationship with their children, or their parents, or a life partner, or a friend or friends.  For some it is the career they always wanted, a job, to begin a business, or to get an education at a particular place of learning. It could be to sing, or to write, or act, or paint or play music, or play sports well. It could  be to be able to build things with one’s own hands, to converse well and be the life of the party. Some may want a new home, a car, expensive clothes, or lots of money or financial freedom. It could be to serve others, travel, be at peace, sleep better at night, exercise more, eat right, gain weight or loose weight.  It can be just about anything at all. If you really have to have it then go after it.

Just write it down in the positive. As an example, state ‘I want to have enough money to live the life I desire. I want to be financially free. I want to easily pay all my bills and have large amounts of money to enjoy so I can do what I want whenever I want.’ rather than ‘I am tired of being poor, I want to get out of debt. Being poor sucks’. These latter thoughts certainly may motivate you to want a better life and more money and that is useful but they are not stated in the positive. They are not stated as what you want but rather as what you do not want or what you want to get rid of.

The important thing is to create what you DO want. Most people don’t realize that they are already getting what they are thinking about. They are creating or attracting (however you want to think about it) what they do not want. You do not get rich thinking about poverty. You don’t get healthy worrying about illness. You do not become confident thinking what there is to be afraid of. Most people do not realize that what they currently have in life IS a reflection of how they have been thinking, up until now.

If you want things in your life to change THEN you have to change things in your life. You have to do things differently. You can’t get up hill thinking down hill thoughts. You don’t get peace or life  thinking violence about hate. Nope, you have to change your thinking and focus on what you want to have.

If your current life is a shambles you don’t get a great life by thinking how the present sucks. You have to determine how you want your life to be different in the future, set your sights on that, keep your sites on that and go after it. You have to keep thinking about it, concentrating on the new better life, the one you want, without giving up or doubting you might get it.

I repeat: do not pay attention to what you do not want. Remember you become what you think about so think about being rich not poor. Think about being nice, fulfilled, in loving relationships, think about being your ideal weight, think about being totally healthy and or energetic. Think about doing what you want instead of what you don’t have or want presently.

If you want a wonderful relationship consider all the positive attributes you do want not all the things that you don’t want or that annoy you. Also, don’t specify a particular person as in ‘I want Bill or Susan’. Just concentrate on the kind of person you want most, tyhe positive traits and qualities you desire.

In fact, since we become what we think about and we get what we think about most, and we attract what we think about then it is best that we work on having these attributes in ourselves first to attract others.

Rich people somehow attract money. So become rich in positive qualities and you will think and act and do those things that make money. Healthy people (in spirit and mind) tend to attract wonderful partners in life so become a healthy person and you will think and act and do those things that other ‘like’ people find attractive. Birds of a feather flock together. So become the change you want in life.

Alright you have your ‘Definite Chief Purpose’, your goal written down in the positive. Be detailed, specific. Have a date of completion, a realistic time frame. Give yourself time to make it happen.

Writing it down and specifying helps you to build the image and see it clearly in your mind’s eye. Hold the positive image of your goal in your mind. See it in as much detail as positive. Make it a movie of what you want to be, do and have. Make it vivid and enjoyable. See it in detail, in color, notice what you look like, where you are, what is going on around you, how you stand and move and speak, how you sound, how you feel. Use all of the senses. Make it as real as possible in your mind and spend time with it. Enjoy it. If you really like what you see and you feel great as you think and see it that is what you want.

See it as if you already have it. That future you is this person.  You are doing these things now, having these things now. Imagine how you feel to have already accomplished your goal. You made it happen. You now possess it. Notice how good this feels.

Imagine you are sitting with a friend and describing how you got your goal in total, yesterday. It already happened. How do you feel about that? You arrived? Describe in detail how it feels, what you think, see, hear, and act.

You want your brain to know that this IS precisely what you want. You want to give it a clear image of what it is you are going after. Your concern is not how you make it happen just that you did make it happen.

Spend time thinking  about and seeing this when you get up in the morning to set your day and before going to bed at night. After writing it out in detail now reduce your detailed goal down to a few words that you put on a card. You will carry this card with you to look at many times throughout the day.

Copy it, put one in the car, on the bathroom mirror, next to your bed, on the ceiling, wherever you can so that you are reminded of it need through the day. Look at it throughout the day. Think about it through the day frequently whenever you can.

Realize that since “We become and get what with think about most throughout the day” your goal must come to you because you ARE  thinking it. You are using your brain for a change. You have set the direction, your dominant chief purpose and you concentrate on it day and night. By doing this you activate your inner resources, you stimulate your thought process, you awaken your unconscious to assist you in making your goal come true.

Because you repeatedly think about it in the best positive way and with the best possible feelings you are educating your brain clearly that this is what you want in life. There is no doubt about it. You want this, you are purposed and poised to get it and you will stop at nothing until you do. What a powerful message to send yourself.

Do not waiver, do not give up. Act as if it were impossible to fail and it will be impossible. Know in your heart that you will make this come true. and you will make it come true ” Rex Sikes

Make it a point to go after your goal. Make it a point to keep the goal and positive thoughts in your mind as much as possible during your day. ‘What you think about most during the day you become.’

A great practice to engage in everyday is to look for things  (your own successful and happy talents and abilities, family, people, events, situations, possessions you have in your life, )  to feel good about and be thankful for each day. In other words, count your blessings each day and find reasons to feel more grateful. Look around and delight in the beauty and majesty of nature, the abundance of beauty and enjoy it more each day.

Practice  putting your attention on how you are presently blessed, how things are positively working for you now. It is good for helping you to think and feel and act your very best.

Do these things while you continue to think about getting what you want. You want to maintain good feelings throughout the day as much as possible. You want to feel your best.

Keep in mind this is a training or conditioning process so these practices are important.  You are conditioning yourself to control your thoughts.  Your are learning to focus and to select the finest ones that serve you and make you stronger and help you feel better. You choose your thoughts to become aware that you DO have the power to choose and to determine what you think at anytime.

It is a process of making strong positive thinking a habit. You do this by finding the best, by finding what feels the best and holding on to it. Concentrating on it. Repeating it frequently during your day and making corrections as you need to in order to maintain it.

When you focus on what it is you want in your life many times during the day you are improving your powers of visualization and concentration.  As you repeatedly continue to think the best thoughts,  choose things to feel thankful for, and looking for the best feelings inside your body that you can enjoy you are  developing these abilities and making them into habits. It takes repetition and time but you are doing doing it.

So feel good, enjoy it! Believe it, enjoy it. Have fun with this, enjoy it! Relax and enjoy it!

Keep the focus on what you want to have even if the world around you were crumbling. It is not the present that should be your concern it is where you are headed and what you want to accomplish that you stay focused on. It is what you want to create and where you want to be. Keep your mind on these.

While you may need to attend to things in the present but the key is to not let the present tarnish the future accomplishment.

In spite of what is going on know in your heart you will make your dream come true. This is faith and persistence. This is not letting what is going on get you down, or giving in to doubt or falingl into negativity. This is being a champion for yourself no matter what you encounter. Sometimes tenacity is its own reward.

If you don’t have money now, that is not the point. Oh, I am sure some will say ‘yes, it is’, but you don’t get riches by focusing on lack. You don’t become positive by focusing on negativity. So focus on the money you want to have not the bills you have now. It is a matter of where you put your focus that is important.

Some people may tell you you won’t ever do it, that you can’t succeed, or that you are foolish to try. Perhaps, you  have your own doubts.

You will never get what you want if you doubt that you will.

You don’t get positive thinking by thinking negatively, so monitor your thoughts and if you catch yourself, doubting, thinking negative or feeling bad STOP IT!

The very moment you become aware of the doubt or negativity DECIDE THEN,  in that moment, to steer your thoughts and feelings to better healthier, more positive ones.

You may only have to do that once or you may have to do it multiple times each instant before you shift your thinking but keep adjusting, keep at it. Persistence will pay off. Just don’t quit.  I repeat be a champion for you and your goal.

Keep on trying.

Edison didn’t give up until he invented the light bulb. The Wright Brothers didn’t let ‘failed’ attempts stop them from succeeding. Hilary made it to the top of Everest because he kept at it. There are countless examples of people just like you and me who decided what they wanted and continued to work toward it in spite of seemingly unsurmountable odds and opposition. If they can do it , we can! If anyone human finds a way to do it, you can!

You must not stop. You adjust what you do that isn’t working but you continue the pursuit. There may be times you feel like quitting, there may be times you feel confused. Frankly, those times will be there, they occur for all of us.

Just keep the faith and know that when you have faith and keep going you will get the gold. You will make it happen. You won’t if you quit but you can if you continue. Just keep at it. I repeat become your own champion for you and your goal!!!

One thing that helps and is important; whenever you notice you are off course, you find yourself thinking and feeling negative STOP the moment you become aware, take a deep breath, and begin to  thank yourself for recognizing it. Appreciate yourself  for becoming aware, for noticing what was going on and then changing it. Feel grateful for your insight and value yourself in these moments. Delight in your awareness.

It could happen in an argument with someone, or on your own. Whenever you become aware that you are thinking or acting different than you want to be acting STOP, take a deep breath and begin to celebrate (quietly inside if necessary) your insight and awareness. When you celebrate your discoveries you GET TO have more of them, you grease the wheel for positive learning to occur.

Plus, instead of berating yourself as you may have in the past, you are treating yourself with positive thoughts, love and behaviors. It is important to love and care and nurture yourself while you are conditioning yourself. In fact, it is important and desirable to do all the time anyway.

When the insight occurs It may be a signal to adjust something for you to find greater harmony, or to just pay attention and notice that what you are doing or thinking isn’t getting you the results you want. So appreciate that  somehow you sent yourself a signal to ‘wake up’ and do something about it. That is awesome!

Think of it this way. If you were traveling and you were headed off course, or perhaps you were off course by many, many miles, wouldn’t you be grateful is someone stopped you and said, ‘hey, here is how you get back on course’. I know, I know the tendency is to be aggravated because you went of course, well knock that silliness of.

Celebrate the messenger for getting you righted and be happy you can continue in the manner you desire. Celebrate, because that messenger is YOU! Treat you with kindness and love. Occasionally, another person is that messenger – treat them well too.

The point is simply. Whenever you go off course, GENTLY, steer yourself back on course. Don’t get mad or upset (and while you may at first, this can change to through dedicated practice) just navigate back to the positive good healthy thoughts and feelings. Relax about it.

This is evolution and it takes time and patience. The world has become a magic bullet, pill popping, fast food, gotta have it now society but this is evolution. Illumination can occur in an instant yet most things still take time. Take the time, all the time you need, and be kind to yourself.  YOU can do this!

Savor this time and this opportunity to do something nice for yourself. You are undergoing this rigorous conditioning as a gift to yourself and for others. You are making the effort to be in charge of you, how you are, think, feel and act. That is a wonderful decision.

It is a wonderful opportunity to discover the many incredible things about you so celebrate it. You are able to do this, delight in it, enjoy the process, relax, have fun and keep on going. It gets easier and better as you continue. Sure, challenges may present themselves but as you move forward you become better equipped to handle them successfully.

It is truly amazing and you will be amazed.

Decide in favor of yourself. Decide that you will do this. Decide now and stick with it. Begin the journey and you will be delighted what you discover along the way. So many good things are in store for you! What waits ahead for you to find are marvelous beyond belief. Your future waits for you to realize it can all be yours. It has been calling to you all along, don’t you think it is time to answer the call?

Begin to day to make your life the life you want it to be.” Rex Sikes
