True Leadership: What It Is And Isn’t

“Commit to service. Serve with love and compassion. It’s time to end harm, hatred, disparity and division. We need to stop tearing each other apart and come together through care, empathy, and genuine concern for one another. But let’s get one thing straight, before you can truly serve others, you need to make sure your own cup is full. If you’re running on empty, what do you have to give? No one can give what they aren’t or don’t have.

You can’t pour from an empty cup, but when you fill it with love, unity, and togetherness, you’re overflowing with the very things the world needs most right now. So, let’s talk about leadership. I’m going to be blunt. If you think you’re a leader but you’re not serving, you’re fooling yourself and everyone around you. Leadership isn’t about standing at the front, barking orders, or making empty promises. That is bogus and bull shit. Yup! Bull shit!

Real leadership is about getting down in the trenches, rolling up your sleeves, and serving others. It’s about putting the needs of others before your own, not for recognition, but because it’s the right thing to do. We’ve seen a lot of so-called leaders recently, haven’t we? People who claim to lead but are really just looking out for themselves. They’re in it for the power, the attention, the accolades. If that motivates you, you’re no leader.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Anyone who has to declare themselves a leader isn’t one. True leadership isn’t about what you call yourself. It’s about what others call you because of your actions. Real leaders don’t need to brag or boast. They don’t need to shout from the rooftops about how great they are. Instead, they lead by example. They show up, day in and day out, and they do the work. They serve with humility, with kindness, with respect. They walk their talk! They act.

They don’t just talk about love and unity, if they do at all. They live it. They embody it in everything they do. Think about the leaders who have made a real difference in your life. Did they lead with words, or did they lead with actions? Did they make grand promises, or did they quietly go about making a positive impact? True leaders inspire others not with words but by showing them what’s possible through their own behavior. They live it!

This world doesn’t need more empty talk or empty promises, or empty suits! It needs action. It needs people who are willing to step up and serve, who are committed to making a difference. It needs leaders who are more interested in lifting others up than in elevating themselves. So, if you want to lead, start by serving. If you want to make a difference, start by giving—giving your time, your energy, your love. Seek to unite, not divide.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Seek to understand, not judge. And above all, seek to lead by example. Because in the end, it’s not about what you say – it’s about what you do. It’s not about the title you hold – it’s about the impact you make. So fill your cup. Fill it with love, compassion, and the desire to serve. Let it overflow into the lives of others. And when you do, you won’t need to call yourself a leader. Others will see it in you, and they’ll call you one. That’s the true mark of leadership. So yes, absolutely commit to serving others. Love, peace, and blessings. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What Our Modern Gurus Got Wrong!!

“Many people think things will make them happy. They compare themselves to neighbors and feel bad. They want what others have. They want what the media promotes as important. They feel a void and bad if they don’t attain a certain measure of success or acquire the objects of their desire. People have been misled. It serves a purpose. It keeps them worker bees who profit others. They trade their time for money.

It is sad. The reason is that industry, corporations, media, and culture perpetuate the myth. Work hard for success and happiness. That lie was perpetuated with the rise of industrialization when companies needed loyally dedicated workers to drive profits. When we went from farming to manufacturing much changed. Edward Bernays, the father of Public Relations, originally called Propaganda, did it. It taught us to spend!

He told bosses he could get people to buy their products and he helped create a marketing revolution based on desire. He got women to smoke. He made people think they were less than okay because they needed products to be better and things to be happy and successful. It was a huge campaign to infiltrate the minds of citizens and turn them into consumers. It worked. People spent money! This made the corporate bosses happy.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Even today, those who claim to help others perpetuate the same myths and lies and keep people trapped and dependent on acquiring things instead of speaking the truth and helping liberate them. They say you must work hard and sacrifice everything to be successful. And to prove you are successful you need things that show others you have made it. Then you’ll be happy. The message is you won’t be happy until… later… until then…

Then you will be important. Do it really, really hard. Take massive action. Miss out on things you’d enjoy because success and money matters most. Then when you have the money spend it on things that demonstrate your worth and others will think you are important, and you will too. Sad, but true. My mission has been to call them out and share the good news. The good news is there is a better way. It is easier too.

It’s important people begin to realize comparison and contrasting and accumulating things doesn’t make you happy or successful. So many want to reach the top and when they do are disappointed by what they discover. There is NO thing at the top! There is ONLY YOU. You must first learn to love and appreciate yourself AND others to be happy and feel successful. If you are first happy you will be happy with or without anything else.

There’re those who feel happy and successful with very little or nothing. There’re those with everything who don’t. They could, but are misguided and deceived. Life is the lesson. The journey IS the destination. NOW is the only moment you have. Stop placing your faith in things and become the person you are meant to be. There is nothing wrong with having things. Appreciate them but down’t be owned by them Many are owned.

Unless you get things and lose yourself in the process. There are ways to have both, but it isn’t the way you’ve been led to believe. Yes, you can work hard, risk, sacrifice and miss out on time with family and friends to be successful or you can work smarter not harder. You can enjoy more while making more. You can discover how to be successful and happy within, just as you are. Be it first. Then you’ll do right and you can have things.

Making that discovery leads to doing what is necessary, and NO more than is necessary, to have what you’d like to include in your life. In this way you will discover that happiness and success is NOW, not later. It isn’t the end of the journey but the journey that matters most. Then you can make all your moments magical, memorable, miraculous and magnificent. If you are so filled with joy nothing else matters, life is great. Get it? I hope so.

There’s an easier, more delightful and fulfilling way to live life and operate in the world than following the lies you’ve been told. You must shift away from society’s way of focusing on the world outside of you, the things, events, others and circumstances for your success and happiness AND focus on who you are within. ‘Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’ More to come.

How Current Gurus Steer You Wrong

“We must understand the relationship between the world without and the world within. The within is the cause, the without is the effect. The effects are the results due to the cause. This means our circumstances in the world are due to the inner cause, or us. We are the cause of our circumstance whether we accept that or not. However, accepting that means there’s something you can do.

‘The world within is the cause, the world without the effect; to change the effect you must change the cause. You will at once see that this is a radically new and different idea; most men try to change effects by working with effects. They fail to see that this is simply changing one form of distress for another. To remove discord, we must remove the cause, and this cause can be found only in the world within.’ – Charles F. Haanel

This is where the current gurus have it so very wrong! They have you striving to change the effects. They want you to work harder, longer hours, sweat, risk and sacrifice to change your circumstances. They want you 10xing and taking massive action. They miss the point! It’s from within to without. Change who you are within and the outer changes. Change the cause and circumstances change!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Here’s the sad, but accurate rub. They know you’ll fail. They know you’ll always need them. They foster dependency by steering you in the wrong direction. Napoleon Hill stated it was ‘think and grow rich not work harder and grow rich.’ Your subconscious, the mind and the universe work on some simple but profound laws. You know the Law of Vibration and The Law Of Attraction.

There are other important laws. There’s obviously the Law Of Cause and Effect and there’s The Law of Conservation and Least Effort. There are more but these are what we’ll discuss. For every cause there is an effect. If you look at every effect there is a cause whether you can find it or not. Science is big on finding the causes and/or the correlation. The effects are due to the cause. That’s how it works.

Correlation is the relationship between, ‘1. A relationship or connection between two things based on co-occurrence or pattern of change. 2. The tendency for two values or variables to change together, in either the same or opposite way.’ When the inner changes the outer does too. If we choose to be at effect of the outer then some of our inner changes. Our conscious mind reacts. We are at effect.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

We can feel stressed and experience the results of that stress. This means we’ve made the effect the cause or source of our discomfort, disorder, distraction and disease. However, we don’t have to live this way. We THINK we do but that is the great deception. Once you realize YOU are the cause of it all, you can decide to take full responsibility for everything that results and make positive changes.

Unless you do this, you remain at the effect of the outer because you don’t realize YOU are creating the outer from within. That’s how unaware we are. Once you wake up to what’s going on you can influence it in positive ways. Once people harnessed electricity we could direct it. Once you realize you are the energy creating your good and your troubles you can direct that energy.

Current gurus either don’t know this or they don’t want you to know this. That’s sad and in some cases disingenuous. You have so much potential, infinite potential, infinite opportunities and infinite resources available within you and around you. You need tot struggle so much to survive and thrive. Your subconscious is already helping you survive and to thrive. Learn to work with it, not against it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The Law of Conservation and Least Effort means nature, you and everything in the world does the least necessary or possible to conserve energy. That means nature doesn’t take massive 10x action. It takes simple steps for maximal results. It does this to keep you alive. It conserves your energy so you thrive. This is hardwired into us. Consciously, we resist much of our subconscious prime directives.

The subconscious doesn’t sabotage you. You sabotage or attempt to thwart it. It’s infinitely more powerful than the tiny conscious mind but the conscious mind tries to run the show. There are some things the conscious is good at but this isn’t one of them The ultimate goal is for them to cooperate and work together in harmony. However, this isn’t what we were conditioned for as children.

It rarely, but sometimes, requires extra effort. Your car is stuck and you must ‘heave ho’ to get it out. Most things require consistent correct action. Like eating your meal.You don’t slam the entire dinner down your gullet, but take bite after bite to completion. Your body extracts the nutrients for your health and wellbeing without you having to do anything. You go about your business while it does it’s.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

STOP trying so hard! Stop struggling. Stop creating conflict in yourself. Stop wearing yourself out. Release the struggle and frustration. Let it go. It doesn’t mean you don’t do anything. It means you take right action. You take correct action. You let the universe, your intuition, your subconscious guide you. Yes, this is learned. Most people aren’t savvy when it comes to their intuition. You can learn it!

It’s an art and science that most miss. Relax into positive change. Develop your attitude. It’s from within to without. Become the person for whom manifesting and life is easy. Learn to trust yourself. Learn to cooperate with your authentic self. Learn to have a good relationship with your feeling mind, the subconscious. Learn how to communicate with it and listen to it. Develop a good relationship.

Stop struggling to change the effects as so many of the current guys recommend. Learn the way that is less traveled but far more effective. Become the cause and you will change the effects. Remain the effect and you’ll be blown around like leaves in the wind. Recognize you are the cause and the effects will change. Take charge. Learn to develop a healthy, working self relationship.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Stop creating chaos, disorder and crap circumstances. Develop inner peace, trust, harmony, prosperity, positivity, love, and confidence and your outer world changes. Learn to listen to yourself. Learn to trust yourself. That requires patience and some trial and error but you’ll get it. It’s always there working for us but we’ve been trained away from listening to it. We are conditioned not to.

We are conditioned by society to be at the effect of other causes and to pay attention to situations and events and authorities and others. We’re not truly conditioned or allowed to trust and rely on ourselves. That’s how we are influenced and controlled by society. It’s both good and not-so-good that this happens. Hopefully, we’ll learn better ways to bring up people together in harmony.

We can, you know. It means the current powers must give way to more benevolent powers. That can happen. As we each become more aware and enlightened and a positive resource in the world positive change is possible. When there is conflict it only means the atoms are bouncing into each other to make changes. Don’t take it personally. See the good in all of it and we’ll progress faster.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Become abundant within and you will become abundant without. ‘Seek first the kingdom of god and all these things will be added unto you.’ And where is the kingdom of god? ‘The kingdom of god is within you.‘ ‘Be not of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.‘ Get this and everything changes. What is necessary for you to change? You must GO FIRST!

You must decide you want to and that you will. Then make the change. ONCE you change, you are the cause, everything else can change. The effects change when the cause changes! Or you can keep trying and working harder. You can continue to struggle as the gurus want you to, or you can find the easier, more delightful way that results in actual 10, 20 100 times more positive results! How’d you like to work easier and get further faster? Develop yourself. Activate your attitude. Become the person for whom manifesting GOOD is easy. Get it? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“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
