What Really Is The Law Of Attraction?

“The Law of Attraction is only a name and a bad one. Actually, the name isn’t the problem, it is what people think the name means. Many people think it means sitting in your room fantasizing for wealth and things. This is the issue with the concept. It is not that.

The same is the case with Positive Thinking. It too, has gotten a bad wrap. Positive Thinking does not mean going naively through life, wearing blinders and ignoring things that are happening, in favor of airy fairy platitudes. It isn’t about that at all. Not at all! NOT at all!

Positive Thinking is maintaining a positive, ‘can-do’ mindset in the face of difficulty. It is solution focused. Someone always says, ‘yeah, you can think you can fly all you want, but gravity will prove you wrong.’ That is the issue. That isn’t positive thinking. It is foolish.

Believe In What You Want So Much You Actually Make It Happen

Positive Thinking is not thinking, ‘there are no weeds’. It is recognizing that you can take care of them. It is recognizing that you can successfully tend the garden. You can find the tools, and learn how if necessary, and enlist others too, if needed, but, you can do it.

Gravity is a law, as is the Law of Attraction. We work with the laws not against them. Laws mean they operate whether you believe they do or not. Hence, whether you think you can fly or not, gravity has an answer for you. However, positive thinkers were able to fly.

They worked with gravity and the principle of lift to overcome gravity’s force and propel a vehicle into the air. Had they not thought positively, that they could do this, that it might be possible, it would have never happened! They found solutions. They persisted.

Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Rigth

The Law of Attraction, is one of a number of laws about the nature of human kind and consciousness. Together, these laws represent a system and a science for making thing happen. It is Cause and Effect, another law, and not airy fairy magic. If you work it right, it works.

Just as the Wright Brothers were able to work a plane up into the air, my explantations are the nuts and bolts to transforming yourself, shifting what you are doing on the inside, to get the results you want on the inside and the outside. Apply them and you will transform.

Do nothing and nothing will change, much. In order to change your life you must change things in your life. There is also the Law Of Action. Together with Positive Thinking and the Law Of Attraction you can become powerful and unstoppable. You can do it. Truly!

Thoughts Become Things – What You Focus On Expands

You can make things happen. You can be, do and have, anything you want, within reason, for yourself. As Napoleon Hill said, ‘If you can conceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it.’ That means you are doing it. Conceiving, believing and achieving are action steps.

Why do I say within reason? Because you don’t circumvent the Law of Gravity as suggested in the previous example. Be realistic! Work with the laws. Put the laws to work and you will discover and incredible universe opens up to you. Do it! Discover for yourself! AND celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Who And What Are You Inviting Into You Life

“How is your life going? If it is not what you want it to be ,you want to consider what you are inviting or allowing in. Whatever you focus on, you give your attention to, your energy to, and you continue to enhance or amplify or perpetuate it. This is crucial to understand!

Whatever you focus on, you invite. You amplify. You perpetuate! Where your concentration is, where your mind is most of the day and night and how you feel, determines how you move through the world. It determines whether you get more goodness or not.

You don’t have to think in terms of Law Of Attraction. It isn’t anything ‘woo woo’. It is actually based in science. One simple example is the Law Of Cause and Effect. For every cause there is an equal and opposite effect. Your thoughts have an effect.

You Are Today Where Your Thoughts Have Brought You

If you push someone the person’s body responds. They may push back. Water under concentrated pressure can cut through rock. There is always an effect. If you think negatively, you will get more of the same. If you think positively, you will get more of the same.

What you aren’t likely to get is this: If you think negatively you won’t get positivity. Consider your thinking an invitation. Whatever you think, you invite more of. If you think ‘I am broke. I want money.’ You are essentially thinking, ‘Money doesn’t come to me.’

You aren’t inviting it by thinking of what you do not have. You aren’t attracting or creating money by thinking about what you don’t have or don’t want. Do you get this? You must think, concentrate and focus on that which you do want, without inviting the opposite.

Tomorrow You Will Be Where Your Thoughts Today Take You

If you think, ‘I want money because I don’t have any’ you’re thinking about what you don’t want. You’re thinking about the scarcity or lack of money. The same is true of love, romance, friendship, health or anything you desire. You attract or create what you focus on.

In order to get what you want, you need to focus on what you want and feel good about it. The good feelings drive the show. You want more good feelings. Feel good now. Think and do those positive things that help you feel your best, right now, in the present!

Good feelings create more good feelings. Get it? So celebrate what you have. Enjoy and delight in it. Feel good about it. Be thankful and appreciative. Be lighthearted. Live carefree. Know that all is well. This is how to create more goodness. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What Ben Franklin Said You Should Know And Why

“What did old Ben Franklin say that is so profound? He said many important and useful things. The point he makes in this brief statement is one we should carry with us, in our hearts and minds, all the time. Remember and use it to make an incredible difference.

‘Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.” Benjamin Franklin

What an important message! Keep in the sunlight. Stop anticipating trouble or worry. Live light and trouble free. Your worst worries may never come to pass. Live without them. Live carefree. Live with light, love and joy. Everything is perfect. I like it! What about you?

Worrying Will Never Change The Outcome

Everything is perfect even when it seems as if it isn’t. It provides contrast. To know warmth, you must know cold. To know light you, must know dark. Everything either provides you joy or contrast. Once you recognize that whatever is happening, is as it is.

It is a blessing! Everything is perfect, just as it should be. Your worries, your fears, your concerns will pass. They are transitory. As day gives way to night, night gives way to day. Problems are temporary. Love and enjoy each moment. No matter what.

It is all good, even when it appears it isn’t. There is truly nothing to worry about. There is nothing to fear. Remember, it is all illusion, ‘maya’, and we don’t have all the information at this moment. We can’t see what hasn’t arrived yet.

Difficult Roads Often Lead To The Most Beautiful Destinations

So go as far as you can see, and when you get there, you can see farther. Unexpected good will always come your way because it ALL is good. You just don’t always think so. When you do, all of your life beautifully transforms.

When you consider everything a blessing, no matter what it is, then everything is a blessing. No wrong can harm you. Get it? For some it will be a long time before they understand this. They will live as they do. But if you wake up, you wake up. Some day, they will too. Meantime, keep in the sunlight and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

If You're Not Getting Heard: Why Should Anyone Ever Listen To You?

“I get asked this sort of thing all the time. ‘What sort of template should I have for potential investors in my business?’ ‘How do I sell my film?’ ‘What should I do to sell more?’ ‘There is never enough money out there. How do I get it?’ My answer is to the point!

You must understand WHY they invest. You need to know what they want! What IS important to them? You already know what is important to YOU. You must LEARN what is important to THEM and why THEY buy. This is the first important step YOU have to take!

Then you have to be able to deliver to them in a way THEY understand. You must learnt to speak THEIR language. You already know your language. You must know what the buyer or investor wants, and what is most important to the buyer or investor!!

Attention Is The Purest Form Of Generosity

Why they are interested and what is important depends on each investor and not some blanket template. NO savvy investor responds to a cookie cutter presentation. They know if you are interested in THEM or simply trying to get them to buy.

They can tell if you know how to appeal to them or if you are simply trying to get someone, anyone, to part with their money. You have to know why they buy! Ask yourself this, ‘if they could put their money anywhere, ANYWHERE, why, WHY, should they put it with you?’

You’d better have a good answer because professional investors buy people as much, or more, as they buy investments. They know people. They know money. They are in that business. They are in that business for a reason. Learn why they buy? OR they won’t! Get it?

We Make Time For What We Love And What Is Important To Us …

Learn what IS important to them! Who are you? That IS important to them. Do you believe in your product or program or movie? Do you believe in you? Are you honest, reliable, trustworthy? Do you keep your commitments? Are you on time?

Savvy investors know people and good deals. You may think your deal is fantastic. Watch SharkTank. While that is a TV show and doesn’t always, or exactly, parallel real life, what is the number one concern the SHARK seem to have most? Can you tell what it is?

What is in it for me? WIIFM! Can I make it work? Who is this person? Have they done their homework? Are the proactive? Would I want to invest or partner with this person? What is in it for me? Why should I put my money into this project? What’s the likely return?

… Pay Attention People Will Show You And Will Tell You

You come asking. Why should they care? You shouldn’t focus on how you sell them BUT on why they buy, or invest, in people and projects. Then tailor your presentation to the person/s you’re ‘pitching’. Learn to speak their language. Appeal to what they value!

Remember, they are reading you all the while. Are you worth it or not? Most likely they made a lot of their decision about you before you opened your mouth? So if that is the case, when you open your mouth, you’d better maximally appeal to them and their needs.

Are YOU worth investing in, is a great question to ask yourself? Do you invest in yourself? Do you improve and better yourself? Have you grown in the past day, week, month, and year? How can you help improve other people’s lives? How can you better serve people?

You Never Win A Tennis Match With The Ball In Your Court

You NEVER win a tennis match with the ball in your court. Get it? They want to know you, will take care of them? Is your heart in the right place? Will this person be someone I want to stay partnered with for a long while? Is this person, likable and enjoyable?

Would I want this person over for a barbecue? Do they care about me? There are many reasons why people buy. Don’t try to pitch or sell them. No one likes being sold. They prefer buying things from people they like and trust over people they don’t.

MAJOR POINT: If you think this applies only to money, or money people, you are woefully mistaken. This applies to influencing all your relationships: family, friends, co-workers, associates, casting directors, and strangers. Learn what is important to them to them.

The Most Important Thing To Hear Is What Isn’t Being Said

Learn why they buy whatever idea, notion, product you are selling. Whether it is a movie, a house, jewelry, electronics, magazines, cleaning their room, going to a particular school or a nice restaurant? What do they want most? What do THEY need?

Take an active interest in them and you will get further, faster. Get it? I’ll share more in coming blogs. Meanwhile, think about it? What do you need to improve? What will you do to improve yourself? Focus on gratitude too. Remember, you move forward faster through appreciation and gratefulness. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

It Is All BS! You Don't Have To Do Anything To Change!

“Do you have to do anything to change? Can’t I just be the way I am and the world change for me if I wish hard enough? Must I really do something to make it different? I try lots of things but nothing really seems to work. It’s all BS, positive thinking, airy fairy stuff, right?

With that attitude one is bound to remain the same for a long time. The good news is you don’t have to do anything to change, you are always changing. That is the law. Things change for better, perhaps for the worse. Evolution is constant. It isn’t if, the question is when.

Given a long enough time, you and, your situation will be different, even if you do nothing. You are entitled to wait it out. However, if you want to change, within a realistic time frame, most likely, you will need to do something. Remember the definition of insanity?

I Am In Charge Of How I Think And Feel Today I Choose Happiness

People do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. I’ll add, people, who do nothing over and over again expecting different results, are just as insane. If you always do what you always did, you always get, what you always got, remember?

Positive thinking, is not about having glazed over eyes and a permanent fixed smile while uttering platitudes. It is about taking control of the gray matter that is running your show. Your thoughts affect you and this you already know! Don’t con yourself.

If you are feeling angry or depressed, you are thinking thoughts that, make you, or perpetuate the feeling bad, whether or not, the source seems to come from the outside. It is your thoughts bothering you if you are complaining or blaming or others or the world! Thoughts!

To Change Your Life You Need To Change Your Thinking

If you are bothered in the morning, through the day and into the night because of trouble with a loved one, some work related issue or a ticket from an officer, your mind is on autopilot and you need to take control. Yet, some won’t because they don’t believe in it.

You don’t have to believe in it. That, BTW , is another thought or set of thoughts. It helps to believe in it because you may want to do it but you don’t have to. If you do it long enough, correctly, you will get the results and then you will have your own evidence for it.

You will know it. Knowing is different than believing. Some don’t engage in it because they fear they will become glazed eyed, perpetually smiling, positive zombies. Their own fear or apprehension for change prevents them. People do what they do.

Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Right

Positive thinking is a powerful, realistic approach to living life more fully. Either we master our thoughts or they remain the master of us. We are either in control of our thinking process or it controls us. Which would you rather be the case? Positive or not, your choice.

I prefer feeling good, positive and powerful. Don’t you? I like knowing I can handle anything that comes my way, somehow, regardless, no matter what, with help or alone. I like finding the best of everything and the best in everything. But, you can stay the same.

Don’t do anything. Someday, perhaps in this lifetime, you will get what you want. Simply stay as you are. That isn’t so bad, unless your situation sucks. Keep in mind, it is your choice. You are always choosing, even when you choose to do nothing. It is your decision.

Your Decision Keeps You The Same – Or It Moves You Forward

Your decision keeps you the same or helps you move forward. If you want to move forward you can. Decide to. Take charge. Manage your thoughts and feelings. Begin by focusing on what you can and what you are grateful for. Gratitude makes an incredible difference. Begin feeling thankful. Adjust your attitude. Things get better when you do. Things get better as you celebrate everything.” Rex Sikes

Release Your 'Why Nots' And Start Getting What You Want

“Could there be something holding you back, preventing you, from getting what you want? Once discovered you could stop, or change it, so you could begin making things happen. People miss out because they have ‘reasons’ why they can’t have what they want.

When you release all the reasons why you cannot have it, you will have it. It’s a de-conditioning process. You have to wake you up from the trance you are in. The trance you’re in, is the belief you don’t deserve it. You can’t have it. It requires hard work. You suck.

Life sucks! More bad reasons why you can’t have something includes; you’re not lucky enough, you weren’t raised right, you’re not smart enough, nor have you what it takes, other people deserve it, but not you. You have to stop believing these lies. Wake up!

To Get What You Want You Must Stop Doing What Isn’t Working

Stop the blaming. Quit making excuses. Drop the whining. Let go of all the reasons why you can’t have it and you can start having it.
As I dictated this blog post, the word ‘trance’ printed out as ‘trench’. In some ways that’s is quite apropos. You dig yourself into a trench.

Believing bad beliefs dig you a trench, of your own making. The goal is to get you out of that trench and wake you up from that trance. Once you’re out of the trench, and awakened from the trance, you can start manifesting all of your desires. This is important.

You will begin manifesting your desires because you no longer prevent yourself from getting them. That is your old conditioned way of thinking and being. Release the old conditioned ways and become aware of the possibilities that you can then create.

Stop Doubting – Believe In Yourself – Get What You Want

Prior to waking up, and getting out of the trance, you live from the conditioned mind, that tells you, you can’t have the thing, you don’t deserve to. So you want it but you don’t believe you can have it. You want it, but you don’t feel good about getting it. So you don’t get it.

You focus on your problems, not on what you want. So you continue to create more problems. You don’t believe you’re going to get it, so you don’t get it. You don’t feel good about getting it, so you don’t get it. Remember, you become what you think about. Thoughts expand.

You feel bad when you think about your goals, so you end up creating more struggle. I want to help you create everything you want with ease. To do this, you need to learn to let go of the old conditioned mind and embrace the new thinking. Think positively.

Have The Courage To Let Go Of That Which Has Held You Back

Use new thoughts and beliefs to get you to everything you want to have. Release, delete, let go of that which isn’t working, so that you can have more of what you want. It’s a decision you have to make. You have to decide to stop continuing as you were. You must quit it.

You must stop perpetuating the myths and start living free as a champion and victor. You need to realize you are always, already, creating. You can’t not create but you’re creating what you don’t want. I want you to learn how to create what you do want!

Until you let go you may continue to struggle. Let go and give in. Give in to gratitude and optimism. Give in to enjoyment and enthusiasm. Give into expecting good things to happen. Trust, believe, have faith. Become certain you can create the life you want to live. Then you will begin to create more of the good stuff. Celebrate your wins. Celebrate everything!’ Rex Sikes

ENJOY!

There Is Nothing More Important You Can Do Than Learn To Control Your Thinking!

“The most important thing you can do is learn how to control your thinking. Everything first begins with thought. Your actions and results originate from your thoughts and feelings. You can’t do anything more important than to learn to manage your thoughts.

From within to without. From inside your head to your hand is how creativity happens. It is how everything happens for us. Sadly, most people never take charge of their thinking so then never take charge of their lives. Napoleon Hill stated most people drift through life.

The secret to success is getting your mindset right. Develop an unshakable, unstoppable attitude that supports you in your positive endeavors. Remember this saying, ‘you get what you practice’. You get better at whatever you do through consistent right practice.

What Consumes Your Mind Controls Your Life – It’s Up To You

Yet, many never practice developing how they think. They remain victims of others, of events, of circumstances. They whine, blame and make excuses. Instead of taking responsibility for the life they have created they think it has happened to them. Lucky or not.

They hope and wish things were different, yet they spend their time in worry, fear and doubt. The hope it gets better but anticipate the worst. This is not a productive way to spend your time, is it? Another secret is to not be smaller than your problems but be to bigger.

Stop trying to avoid and eliminate problems. Instead evolve, work on yourself, make yourself larger than the issues. Become capable of finding solutions and resolving whatever comes your way. Whether you succeed in life or not is completely up to you. It really is!

I’m In Charge Of How I Think And Feel – I Choose To Be Happy

Take 100% responsibility for who you are, what you are doing, where you are in life and what you have. If you want it to be better, decide and determine to make it so. You absolutely can do this. You can begin to make an incredible difference for yourself. Get it?

Grow yourself up. Make yourself a champion. Put faith in you that you can and will do this. You see, it begins with your thoughts and whether you think you can or or you think you can’t. If you think you can’t, you absolutely must begin to learn how you can. Get it?

It isn’t that hard. It can be far easier than you might think it would be. However, nothing will change unless you take charge and make some changes. Practice positive thinking. Practice declaring and affirming who you want to become and practice being that.

Every Thought We Think Is Creating Our Future – How Is Yours

Live it. Breathe it. Then, you will enjoy it. Your future is in your hands. Magical thinking means you put your faith and hope in outside forces. You hope and pray for things to change but do nothing to actually change. Realize, now YOU can change it all.

Begin today! Don’t wait. Start now. Right where you are. Decide to improve yourself. Decide to fill your mind with positive thoughts. Read inspired, positive books and articles. Affirm, declare, visualize. Listen to inspired audios. Keep a gratitude journal. Do it daily!

Otherwise nothing really changes. Manage you mind. Be the boss of your brain, not its servant. Be larger than your problems. In fact, you have no problems if you consider everything a learning opportunity and a blessing. Live in gratitude and your life improves. Practice thought management. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Tony Robbins Is Wrong! Research Shows Positivity Affects Your Health

Does positivity help you to be healthy? What does research indicate? Can happy thoughts lead to a happy body? If it were true you could influence your health by thinking differently would you? John Hopkins University research indicates it makes a difference.

Filling your mind with happy, positive thoughts is a quick way to health. It may be the fastest road to good health. This is why it’s important to read positive materials, listen to positive audios, and think positively consistently. It helps keep you healthier.

This is why your daily rituals should include positive affirmations, visualization, hanging out with other positive people and making the effort to think and feel better. Tony Robbins is wrong, positive thinking is not thinking, ‘there are no weeds, there are no weeds’.

Go 24 Hours Without Complaining Notice How Your Life Improves

Positive thinking doesn’t mean you ignore less difficult situations. Positive thinking means that you approach circumstances in a more positive and productive way. You think or expect the best will happen, not the worst. You determine to make things work out.

The Mayo Clinic reported the maintaining positive thoughts and self talk leads to an increased life span, lower rates of depression and distress. It leads to greater resistance to colds, better psychological and physical well being and better cardiovascular health .

It also helped people have better coping skills during times of stress and hardship. The Mayo Clinic suggested people learn to manage their self-talk. This is our inner auditory thoughts. Instead of getting down on ourself and life we manage our thinking to be the best.

Always Begin And End The Day With Positive Thoughts

We can practice this and make positivity a habit. Whenever we become aware we are thinking or speaking silently or out loud less than gloriously we stop and correct it. Instead of saying, ‘I could never do that’ we switch it to, ‘I could do that.’

It is important that we believe our thoughts too so we may need to get there in steps. If you doubt you could do that you can work your way there by saying, ‘I could learn to do that. Given the opportunity I could begin to learn to do that. I can learn to do that.’ Get it?

‘I will learn to do that. I can do that’. It is up to you how you traverse this mental pathway but you select the thoughts that move you forward bit by bit. Positive thinking can be powerful and really make a difference for you in your life. Spend more time thinking good.

Positive Anything Is Better Than Negative Nothing – Be Positive

Then you will spend more time feeling good. A great way to think better is to appreciate more of yourself, life and those people, circumstances and things around you. Most of what makes us feel good and makes us truly rich are free; family, friends, the world.

Notice the beauty of the world, the taste of your food, the time spent having fun and express your gratitude for these. Spend more time thinking better, appreciating yourself and life and you’ll spend more time feeling good. That is reason enough to celebrate everything.” Rex Sikes

Stop! Distractions And Judgements Cause You To Fail

“With so much unrest in current affairs it is easy to get caught up. It is downright seductive. It is a major distraction. How much time is lost, spent finding out about, watching, worrying and fearing the worst about our present day affairs?

It’s a preoccupation beyond one’s personal issues. We get caught up in national and global ones. I have to admit it is difficult not to watch the news sometimes. I even find myself, at times, picking sides and posting on FB my own displeasure with what occurs.

Then I stop, remember and realize I am getting caught up in less than glorious thinking and acting. I want to put a guard before my words and thoughts. I want to think and speak only to bless, heal and prosper. I don’t need distractions I need to focus on good often.

Starve Your Distractions – Feed Your Focus – Take Action

I recall I wrote quite a blog on being willing to forgive those who do us harm and to forgive others and ourselves. I remember this, and then I realize I need to make a shift. I need to move away from the less than glorious and discover more of the truly glorious.

It is time to give up the fascination with news and current issues. I don’t mean we have to turn a blind eye. I am not saying there aren’t serious issues that require addressing. I am saying focus on what I want. Focus on what I want to create, not on the circus. Get it?

I have been labeling and judging people. Instead, I should send them positive energy, love and light, I should bless these people and wish them the best. I should project positivity into all my relationships and doings, private, public, national and global. I should walk it.

If You’re Not Moving Toward Your Purpose – Leave It Alone

Not just talk it. Live from the heart. Live connected to source. I should rise above the current reality and imagine the reality I want to create instead. Then I should take positive, inspired, action steps toward making that come to pass. I don’t build up by tearing down.

Speak only to bless, heal and prosper. Love and forgive. Suspend judgement. Bless your accusers. Bless the naysayers. Bless those who seek to do harm. Forgive. It isn’t about them. They will be who they are. It is about you. It is about me. It is about how we live.

It is about our character, our values. It is about living from higher self instead of getting caught in the morass. Drop pretense. Drop judgement. Drop feeling superior. Let go of the ego. Allow what is to be what is. Imagine everything happens for a reason. Allow, let go.

Be About Actions Not Distractions – What You Focus On Expands

Imagine it is all a divine cosmic play. Live in love. Live feeling blessed. Life is too short to worry and fear and hate. Love, live, laugh, learn and let go. Let go and let god. Go with the flow. Send positive energy to everyone. Seek to raise consciousness not dampen it.

Yes, it is tempting to get caught up and I sometimes do. When I fall down, get up, brush off and continue. Live loving life. Enjoy, delight, sing and dance. Life is short so make the most of it. Fill each moment with what you want to have more of and you will get more of it!

Create what you want. Focus on what you want, what you enjoy, what you love, and what you want more of. Let go of the rest. Have fun. Seek to uplift yourself and others. Be grateful. Be filled with gratitude and a sense of being blessed. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Are Not The Thoughts You Think

“You are not your thoughts. None of us are. We forget that. That is an issue for us. We can watch our thoughts. We can control and manage our thoughts but we are not the thoughts we think. We are beyond our thoughts. We are influenced by our thoughts.

The person who thinks s/he is from mars we call crazy or insane. We don’t believe the person. We say they have a thought disorder. Doctors identify numerous thought issues. This should tell us something important. Not about the doctors but about us.

We can think supportive thoughts or non-supportive thoughts. We are affected by thoughts we think. We respond to our thoughts with feelings. Our feelings determine our actions. This is all learned. This is all habitual. You had to learn to think. You had to learn language.

We Become What We Think About Repeatedly

At birth it is unlikely you thought, ‘wow, I made it’. Even if it is true you made it. You grew up learning words and thoughts from the people around you. You learned good and bad, right and wrong. You learned to identify with these concepts, and other concepts, too.

Limitations you may have only occur in your thinking. This is true for all of us. We are not the limitation. Our shabby thinking is. This is great news because we can change our thinking. Perhaps, not over night but we can recondition ourselves to think supportive thoughts.

Beliefs are only thoughts we repeatedly think through time. We can change our thinking the same way we learned it. We expose ourselves to positive, productive, supportive thoughts and we repeat this for a long enough period of time. We replace thoughts.

What You Focus On Expand – Thoughts Are Things

The knack to transforming is to not believe the BS you already believe. Don’t buy into perceived negative limitations. No you can’t fly that is another disorder. You can make positive changes. You are a resourceful person. You can learn to do most anything in life.

Gratitude is a powerful way to begin to transform. Practice it and you will change your thinking. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
