My Life & Job Suck! So What Are You Doing To Change It?

“Okay, so how is it going? Perhaps, your life isn’t going as well as you hoped it would by this time. Maybe you have relationship issues, money troubles, or your career isn’t where you want it to be. Maybe, you don’t like your job or you don’t have the home or things you want yet.

Life is supposed to be great, right, yet it just isn’t as much fun as it should be. You feel stressed and there is never enough time in the day OR the year to make it better. You feel disappointed and you’d rather enjoy family, friends and life much more than you presently do.

So what are you doing to change it?

That it the question? WHAT are YOU doing to CHANGE IT?

I could stop right here because this is an important question for you to entertain if you presently aren’t pleased with your circumstances. I simply want to point out that if you aren’t doing anything you are perpetuating the very thing you don’t want.

If you are fighting it, thinking about it, worrying about it, depressed about it, resisting it you are perpetuating it as much, maybe even more, as if you did nothing at all.

What you resist persists! IF you want your life to change you have to change some things in your life. Remember, the definition of insanity is to do the same thing again and again hoping for different results. You can’t hope yourself into something different while continuing to do the same things repeatedly.

You have to change some things that you are doing but you can take it easy, go step by step gently, and by doing some simple things you can begin to make some incredible headway into creating what you do want.

I recommend, whether this is your first visit to my blog, or one of many, to please go back through and re-read, re-visit what I have shared here. This is important. Expose and re-expose yourself to the concepts, principles and practices on different days. Do this repeatedly and you will discover great value and have remarkable insights.

Find other inspirational books and materials, and listen to positive audios daily. Fill your mind with positive, inspirational and motivational thoughts and ideas. This IS important.

Everything begins with thought. Our thinking is what matters most. It is where everything begins. Whether you feel your problems are within you, meaning you don’t think and feel right or whether you think they stem from others or are outside you – it is your thoughts about these where the issue really is. Your thinking determines whether you perpetuate the problem or discover the solution.

You want to begin by changing your thinking and feelings about yourself and your circumstances. YOU can absolutely do this! It is simple, it is easy, but it does require some discipline and you will want to absolutely stick with it. When you do you can make great strides quite quickly.

If you doubt what I am saying I suggest you try it for no less than 30 days. You can find some pretty amazing things happen within that time or shortly thereafter, if you will only do some simple things daily.

Make it a point to get up and read a page or more of inspirational material. You can use this blog or other books I have recommended. You can find great audios and put them on your phone or computer and listen in your car or while walking or sitting at home. ANYWHERE you can listen, LISTEN!

If you want to be happier, healthier and wealthier you need to change your thinking to make this happen. You can! You absolutely can get out of a rut and make your life the life you want. It all begins with you and your thinking.

The simple principle to keep in mind is you become what you think about most of the time during the day. When you think positive powerful inspiring thoughts most of the time your life will begin to change for the better!

Look around you for everything you already do appreciate and feel grateful to have in your life. Place your attention of these. Celebrate and feel thankful more frequently. Then keep looking for those people, circumstances and things you have forgotten to feel grateful and good about and celebrate those too. Fill yourself with appreciation and you will make room for more to appreciate!

SMILE MORE! JUST smile! Put a smile on your lips and wear it thorough your day as much as possible. Research indicates when you lift your facial muscles into a smile it stimulates the very chemicals and neurons of well-being and you begin to feel better.

Consider this, when you ARE feeling good you smile – science tells us the reverse is true too. SMILE and you will begin to feel good. SO SMILE MORE for no reason at all JUST to practice smiling. PLUS, you look far more attractive when you are smiling. Laughter is great too!

Take the time for yourself. After all, it doesn’t take much time at all to read one page. It only takes a second or two to remember to think positive thoughts during the day and for you to look at things you appreciate often. The more positive moments throughout each day the more positive minutes you will have. The more minutes you have that you enjoy the more hours you get of good things and so on.

Go ahead and take at least one minute, anytime of the day or night and just close your eyes and imagine feeling wonderful. Think positive thoughts! Imagine your life as if it were already everything you wanted. See yourself and your life as if all your dreams had already come true. Look at it, feel it, listen to what you say and think about it when everything is as you want. Just enjoy it. Savor these moments!

Spend a minute concentrating, paying attention to how it good it feels. Say to yourself, ‘this or something better’. You can spare a minute to imagine, can’t you? AND YES, you can do it for a longer time too. Just do it!

Do these things upon arising in the morning, throughout the day and before going to bed. If you do these simple things often everyday you will find you begin to think and feel better and it will open up the doorways to new opportunities.

You absolutely can transform your experience and your life BUT nothing will change unless you change some things you are doing. SO if life isn’t as enjoyable as you had hoped or expected return to my original question: what are YOU doing to change it?” Rex Sikes

Create – Don’t Wait! How To Make Your Dreams Come True

“Time for a thought experiment. Try this on in your imagination. What is something you really want? It could be anything. For example, if you got a brand new car right now as a gift how would you feel? If that makes you feel a certain wonderful way to get your dream car then use that. If it is oodles of cash or a new home, use that. Whatever works easily and best for you that is what you use. It doesn’t matter what you choose as long as it is very significant and would make you feel really, REALLY good.

So take a moment. Sit back somewhere comfortably. Relax… Take a moment and really do this slowly, take your time, no need to rush:

Now imagine you just got it. You were gifted. It is yours. What would you be thinking and feeling? What are you seeing, hearing or saying to yourself? What are you feeling and where in your body does it feel the most wonderful?

Imagine this scenario fully and feel all the feelings you would be feeling. Notice these. Take your time. Savor the feelings, enjoy these. How do you feel? Are you feeling incredible?

I hope so. Because this is a key here to making your dreams come true. There is a principle operating here. I am going to point something out you may or may not already be aware of.

This is already ongoing with us. It occurs all the time in our daily lives. Good things happen and then we feel good and think about them and enjoy them. Then bad things happen we feel bad, and we think about them, worry about them and fear the future. Right? Good or bad, usually something comes along, an event, circumstance, some news, a person does or doesn’t do something and we end up feeling a certain way. Things happen and then we react. We feel and think about these.

When we let the outer world dictate how we think and feel, whether good or bad, we are ‘at effect’ or we are a victim of our circumstances. We are not the master of our fate or the captain of our soul as long as events, circumstances and others determine how we think, feel and act. Do you understand this. We do not act as if we are in charge. We are not ‘at cause’ BUT at the effect of others or outside influences. The goal is to be ‘at cause’ because the results we get ARE the effects of what WE cause.

There is good news. We can learn to use, what we already do, to get better results. We can learn to use this deliberately to make what we want in life to come true. This is great news. We only have to tweak what we are doing we don’t have to overhaul everything. We use the same process but we aim it differently. It is so much easier than having to learn everything over.

How much we enjoy our life is determined how much time we spend either feeling good or bad. It is what we think and feel most of the time that determines what we get. If you feel marvelous 90 percent of the time things are going pretty well. If you are feeling poorly 90 percept of the time I bet it sucks and you want to change it. 50/50 seems tolerable but not desirable and certainly it does not reflect what we are capable of. We can enjoy so much more!

So IF in real life something happens to make you feel a certain way YOU can use these very same feeling to make what YOU want happen. Think about this! Consider this! Instead of feeling things AFTER we get them, we feel the way we would feel IF we already had them IN ADVANCE of having them. We get the feelings first and these open the doorway.

Like attracts like. When we feel bad usually we think bad thoughts and more bad things seem to happen. It is a vicious cycle. We live as a victim of that cycle hoping something comes along to break it and make things better. That is not living as someone in charge and in control. That is not being ‘at cause’.

When we feel good easily we feel marvelous and more good things happen. It too is a cycle. Yes, something less than glorious can come along, and if we let it, it can upset the apple cart for awhile. If we choose to think otherwise about it and not let it affect us we can do that. We can also right the apple cart as soon as we are ready and then get back on track. Either way we then move back into feeling good.

Like thoughts attracts Like thoughts. Like feelings attract like feelings. Like actions attract like actions. It doesn’t matter whether the thoughts or feelings or actions are positive or negative we get back more of whatever we do the most of. If you are getting negative results in your life that is a signal that you need to shift your focus, you need to change the energy. This is great news you can look at your life and determine what kind of thoughts you need to be thinking more of.

So I will repeat because this is important to understand. The key is this. If a very specific event can make you think and feel a certain way, then thinking and feeling that same way, in advance, will open the door to make that specific event happen in your life. You put your thoughts and feelings and creative energy into bringing it about. You attract the thoughts, and feelings and actions to make it happen. You inspire yourself by feeling it fully FIRST! No waiting,

The problem is most people wait to feel good. They wait for the outer circumstances to change before they feel better. The key is feel better FIRST and then the outer circumstances will change.

YES it is true MOST of ALL of US were NEVER EVER raised thinking this way. BUT just because we didn’t grow up doing it doesn’t mean we can’t start doing it right away. Now, this very moment, IS THE MOMENT of new opportunity!

Feel good right now and the doors open up. Thought precedes action. Everything begins with the thoughts you think. What you think and what you feel determines the actions you take. The quality of your overall life experience is determined by the preponderance of your thoughts and feelings.

Do you spend most of your time thinking and feeling good strong positive wonderful thoughts or not. YOU determine your experience. If you want a wonderful life you have to spend the bulk of your time thinking wonderful thoughts. THIS is just the way it works.

When you take 100% responsibility for everything good and bad in your life the moment you do, THE MOMENT YOU ACCEPT COMPLETE AND UTTER RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE – YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE!

You become ‘at cause’, you take the driver’s seat, you take control and you create the effects and make happen whatever want to happen. You want to get better effects, better results you have to start with better causes.

There is good news again! The fact of the matter is YOU ALREADY are doing this. You just aren’t getting the results you want because you think SOMEONE ELSE or SOMETHING ELSE is responsible. NO ONE ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE BUT YOU!!!

When you get this, really get this, your life will improve. It doesn’t matter whatever you have good or bad, up until now, it truly doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter what your life has been like.

If you decide NOW to live in charge, to be responsible then you will begin to shape your life the way you want it to be regardless of what may come your way or what has been. You will go after what you want and navigate the waters smooth or tough. You will make it happen because it relies on no one and nothing else but you.

When you take ALL responsibility for everything that happens or that you have or don’t it gives you the starting place to make things different. It allows you to claim power and act with authority. Instead of blaming others or making excuses for why things are the way they are you make things the way you want them to be. DO you get this? When everything answers to you (whether this is actually the case of not) you become the difference that makes the difference.

Consider a judge in a courtroom. The judge (empowered by law) determines and declares how things will be and how they will go because the judge is the ultimate authority in the courtroom. Everyone in the courtroom answers to the judge. No one else can do what the judge is able to do. When you become the empowered authority for your own life you can determine the course your life will take. You can stop drifting and living haphazardly. You can get better results.

Realize that this thought experiment becomes so much more significant for you to understand and embrace.

Think of what it is you desire. How you want your self to be, what you want to be able to do or what you wish to have. It could be health, wealth, possessions, it could be greater confidence, better relationships anything. Clearly define what you want. Imagine it, picture it vividly in your mind’s eye.

IF you had that RIGHT now, in this instant, if you already had your desire, it is completely yours, how do you feel?

What would you be feeling? Imagine this and then FEEL these feelings right now, fully, while thinking of your desire. Hold the images and feelings for a couple minutes. Really enjoy this! Imagine you have what you want in this present moment! Savor it.

I repeat!!! The key is this. If a very specific event can make you think and feel a certain way, then thinking and feeling that same way in advance will open the door to make that specific event happen in your life. You attract more of the feeling, the wonderful feelings, you feel how good it is, you open your own neural pathways, your neurology, your being up to including all of this in your life. You aren’t waiting you are CREATING!!!

This is the secret to manifesting your desires. Before going to sleep is a great time to do this. You can drift off to sleep FEELING the WONDERFUL FEELINGS you WOULD have IF you HAD your desire RIGHT NOW. Morning is a great time, when you get up. Repeat it throughout the day. Make it a habit it. DO it often. Feel wonderful FIRST!!! The more you do it the more your life will transform and quickly!

It will seem like magic when you GO FIRST, but it isn’t magical at all. You will be making what you want happen. You will be organizing and orchestrating your thoughts, feelings and actions for the positive. You will be stronger, happier, and enjoy more. You are better equipped to handle challenges and better able to recognize opportunities. Instead of chasing after dreams you are inviting them to come to you. You open the door to making things happen by feeling good first.

Just as when you plant a seed it takes time to grow in the darkness underground. You let it grow. You don’t dig it up to check on it. You leave it alone and in time it appears. This is the very same process you use to create, manifest, make happen, attract what you want. You feel it first and open the door. You keep enjoying and allowing the wonderful feelings, you stay focus on these great feelings, no matter what else is going on or not going on in your life circumstances.

You keep your attention and energy on the good feelings. You have planted a seed it is growing. In time you will have organized your being in such a way as to bring it about. You will have it in reality as long as you stay the course and do not quit. The key is good thoughts and feelings FIRST. ENJOY them. Enjoy everything! Be responsible for everything you create and you will start creating wonderful things for yourself.” Rex Sikes

How can I start believing in myself? It seems virtually impossible.

“I was asked a great question, ‘How can I start believing in myself? It seems virtually impossible.’ I answered it and felt I would publish it as well. Here is my reply:

That is a great question and part of what this blog site is about. You start small, like eating a meal, take it bite by bite or bit by bit. You fill your mind with positive and inspirational material daily through reading, through listening to audios. You do it just as you would an exercise program, a little exercise everyday builds endurance and stamina and strength. You stick with it.

You focus on what you can are are already grateful for and celebrate these. Look into what things you can do, you have done that bring you feelings of well being, confidence or joy and remember these often too. You get together with positive people and focus together on what you can accomplish that makes you feel better and you work on it and make things happen. You find affirmations and repeat them a lot through out the day with energy and enthusiasm.

You direct your mind using questions to pay attention to those things that help you think and feel better about yourself. You decide to believe in yourself no matter what. You begin with any of these methods and you add to them. You stick with it and you never give up and you never ever quit. The more we do the more we are able to do.

When you decide you will take charge of your mind, your thoughts, your feelings and your actions then be in charge, take control and stay with it until you get where you want to go. If you stumble and fall get up and keep going. We all stumble. The only person to fail is the one who does not get back up.

Mistakes are part of learning. Falling is part of moving. Getting tackled is part of football game but players don’t quit they keep on moving the ball forward. Do things that are easy enough but challenging enough. Little by little your thoughts take hold, your feeling change your new attitude can take hold.

Fill yourself up with the inspiring material, go to events that are designed to help you feel good and more motivated. If you feel less than glorious, and we all do, once you become aware of it, don’t wallow, but take small steps to alter it toward feeling better. Keep on keeping on.

There is no substitute for action and effort. You will get far more from the effort than you put into it and you have to keep going for the pay off. Results won’t necessarily happen when you think they should but they will happen as you keep with making yourself feel better. Whenever you feel wonderful, enjoy it and be grateful. Whenever you accomplish something that makes you feel proud acknowledge it and pat yourself on the back.

Whenever you do something less than glorious or you feel bad, when you notice it, don’t criticize yourself, instead, pat yourself for noticing what you did and nudge yourself forward. Praise yourself for recognizing what wasn’t working and encourage yourself to move in the direction you want to. Treat yourself as a toddle, encourage yourself in doing the things you want to think, feel and do.

Relax, give yourself time, encouragement and have fun. Play with feeling good and thinking good. Kids learn more in play frankly, than they do forced to sit in their desks. Move, exercise, walk, enjoy! You do any number of these routinely you will notice changes eventually along the way. As you do keep it up. Enjoy it, celebrate and nurture.

Accept that you are human and have all sorts of facets. Remember there are cycles, contrasts, night and day, hot and cold, long and short and as humans we have moments of wonder, enjoyment and delight and moments when we feel less than wonderful. That is part of life. Become fascinated and curious about you might want to do and enjoy and learn. Children chase butterflies and giggle and are thrilled to discover new things.

Train your mind to find the good in any situation by continually asking ‘what is good and new?’ Repetition builds habit so keep do and doing often. You don’t build a muscle do a bicep curl every now and then. You do sets and reps daily. You repeat and repeat and repeat. Through repetition and over time you will get what you set out to get. Whatever you decided to do, to accomplish you will accomplish so be sure to celebrate your accomplishments.

Let go, have fun and enjoy the process. Begin today doing things that help you think and feel better and repeat these. Add to them as you go along. So pick a great book like, ‘The Magic Of Believing’, ‘Think and Grow Rich’, ‘The Magic Of Thinking Big’, ‘Man’s Search For Meaning’, ‘Ask and It Shall Be Given’. Any one of these books, all of them is worth reading and then reading again and again. Re-read this blog over and over again.

Go back through it numerous times because you discover things you miss each time you re-visit the materiaL. Start small, add to what you are able to do and don’t rush or push it. Inch by inch, step by step you get closer and closer to what it is you want. As long as you are inching forward you are making progress toward your goal. Even if you get off track you can adjust back on course and keep moving along. If you stop, you’ve stopped.’

I add here – DO THESE THINGS – Remember you become what you think about. Energy flows where attention goes. Attention goes where energy flow because it is a two way street. What you focus on expands. You are today where your thoughts brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. Skill comes of doing. If you really want to do something you will find a way; if you don’t you will find an excuse.” Rex Sikes

Convince Yourself – The Power Of Faith

“It is ALL about faith. Either you believe or you don’t. Believe in yourself.With faith you may move mountains. So let’s start moving some.

Whatever you believe you end up repeating and re-living in your mind again and again. You either are thinking predominantly thoughts of success and well-being or thoughts of defeat. Whichever you do most of the time determines the results you end up getting in life.

‘If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win, but you think you can’t, it is almost certain you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost. For out of the world we find, success begins with a fellow’s will-it’s all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are. You’ve got to think high to rise, you’ve got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man, but soon or late the man who wins Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!” Walter B Wintle

Your thoughts and attitude do.

‘I bargained with Life for a penny, and Life would pay no more, however I begged at evening when I counted my scanty store. For Life is a just employer, he gives you what you ask, but once you have set the wages, why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial’s hire, only to learn, dismayed, that any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid.” Jessie B Rittenhouse

The Bible and many religious texts say, in one form or another, ‘Ask and you shall receive.’ I think we make the mistake when we think that means we should ask others or ask outside of ourself. I feel it is best when we ask great things of ourselves and expect to have them then we can accomplish great things.

“The greatest danger for us is not that our aim is too high and we will miss it, but that it is too low and we will reach it.” Michelangelo

Perhaps, you will take these thoughts to heart. Believe in yourself, expect great things, fill your mind with ‘can do’ thoughts and wonderful feelings. Then your outer life will be the reflection of your inner one. Only you can make it happen! You will when you decide you will.” Rex Sikes

Enjoy this day whatever it brings.

You Can Torture Me… But You Will Never Imprison My Mind!

The other day I quoted Victor Frankl.

Today, I share some quotes of Mahatma Gandhi, perhaps one of the most influential individuals of the 20th century. Gandhi and Frankl seemed to know, understand, and really ‘get it’ when it came to our human capacity for self-determination and fulfillment.

Gandhi said, ‘You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.’

He, like Frankl, understood that it’s not circumstances, or what’s outside us that matters, it is not what happens to us, but what’s inside that makes all the difference.

He stated, ‘Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.’ Commitment, consistency and persistence is our strength. We can be successful, we can make anything we want to happen when we keep going if we never give up.

It is not prowess of the body but prowess of then mind. It is our ability to stand fast and not quit. We may adjust our plans, but we don’t stop pursuing our dream. Winning, or attaining is based on will power and back bone not hoping and wishbone.

‘Indomitable will’ is not a phrase we hear much in our ultra processed, instant on, have to have it fast, cheap and easy world today.

Yet, individuals like Frankl and Gandhi, who withstood tremendous pressures from the outside, stated that it was the inner characteristics that give us the edge and make the difference. Gandhi added, ‘Nobody can hurt me without my permission.’

Think about that statement for a while. NOBODY can hurt me without MY permission. Frankl, essentially stated the very same thing. ‘Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.’

When our thoughts, words and deeds are all aligned, targeted and congruent is when we are happy. It is up to us, not the circumstances or the people around us, that determines our happiness. We do! No one else. We must think, speak and act in harmony.

He adds that, ‘A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.’ What he thinks he becomes. The greatest influence in our lives is our own thoughts! We become what we think about! What are you thinking about?

Napoleon Hill stated, “what the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.’ A definite purpose accompanied with a burning desire, active faith and persistence to see it through is what is needed to accomplish anything one sets one’s heart and mind on.

Gandhi agrees. He further points out that, ‘Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into’. Hill and others have pointed out, that even a lie repeated enough can become substituted for the truth.

If you don’t believe yet, that you have the ability to learn how to achieve your goals and dreams, if you don’t believe you have a right to be happy and deserve everything you want in life and that you can actually have it then you need to take charge of how you think.

Hill and the others have revealed that any thought implanted in the subconscious mind by correct repetition will eventually take hold and be acted on. This very same process is how we have developed our limiting beliefs already, anyway.

We can become aware of, and take control of the process deliberately to utilize it for correcting our limiting beliefs and to get great results. We can think, plan, speak, act and create the future we want instead of ending up with something haphazardly or not at all.

Faith in yourself is developed by repeated exposure to the idea that you can do anything you set your mind to do. We develop and grow in faith by repeated application. We accept ourselves as a ‘can do’ person when we continuously think ‘can do’ thoughts.

Hold these ideas of Gandhi and Frankl in your heart and mind. When you think about them and say them with enthusiasm and energy over and over again, day and night, these thoughts can take hold and become accepted by your unconscious mind as true.

These thoughts can stimulate you on to achieve great things . You will act from them with faith. Right repetition builds positive habit.

Live with purpose, passion and power! Take charge of your life and believe that you can learn to do whatever is necessary to make your dreams come true. Believe that you can and you can! Think about it often. Henry Ford stated, ‘whether you think you can or you think you can’t you are right’.

Align your thoughts with your words and your actions and you will make your life more wonderful than you can presently even imagine.” Rex Sikes

Little Things Lead To Big Things! Transform The Moments And Your Life Transforms

“When you think more positively you feel more positive feelings. When you feel more positive feelings you think more positive thoughts! When you think great thoughts you feel great! When you feel great you think great! You get back more of what you put into it. It just works this way.

You attract more of the same. ‘Like attracts like’. ‘Birds of a feather flock together’. In fact, you get back more than you put into it. That seems to be the law. Plant a seed, nurture it to fruition and your yield is far more than you planted. It is reciprocal and exponential. You reap far more than you could ever sow.

A major key to having everything you want in life IS to feel wonderful right NOW. Feel the best you are able to. Live with enthusiasm, passion and positivity. Enjoy each moment and fill your day with energy and ecstasy! Celebrate life and everything in it and about it.

As a result youI will have more intense wonderful, good feelings. It is as if the universe will pour into you MORE good things than ever before and in huge quantities, more than you can even imagine. It will seem almost impossible for you to take it all in! BUT YOU can! Be open and allowing. Receive it!

Just start enjoying EVERY little moment. Embrace the simple pleasures! FEEL grateful that YOU can experience it now and you will! Create what you want in the future by enjoying this second! Look for and find the good in everything. Discover what is new and delightful.

Deliberately put a smile on your face. Smile more through the day. Laugh more. Move more, take a walk, exercise, skip, dance, do some yoga, get a massage. Take some ‘me’ time and relax. Take a nap, enjoy a delicious snack. Have a wonderful bath. Gift yourself. Help your body feel better and your mind will feel better. Treat yourself well.

Help you mind feel better and your body will feel better.Think of everyone and everything you love and delight often throughout the day.

Fill your mind by reading positive materials and books a little each and every single day. Listen to positive inspiring audio or watch DVD’s. You create your own happiness. You bring on your own bliss by your thoughts and actions. It all begins with what YOU input on a regular consistent basis EACH DAY!

SPEAK and THINK good things daily. Make it a point that all your words and conversations only bless, heal or prosper yourself and others. Keep in mind this point; what you say you have IS what you will have!

What you put out (output) is what you get back in! Remember GIGO (garbage in garbage out) works the other way to. (garbage out garbage in). SO make it a point to live another way instead; Great In, Great Out and Great Out, Great In! Keep the cycle working in your favor because it is reciprocal and exponential!

Make some time for others, help someone else smile. Think kind and wonderful thoughts of everyone. Lend a hand. Be more patient and accepting. Inspire and encourage someone else. Appreciate others. Treat others well.

Make marvelous the moments, savor the seconds! EACH DAY ALL DAY!

Simply enjoy and you will get far more enjoyment back. Transform the minutes and you transform the hours. Make the hours marvelous and you make your day magnificent!

Life IS what you make of it! You feel as good as you CHOOSE to feel! Try to live each day of YOUR life 100% with purpose, on purpose!” Rex Sikes

I wonder in how many fascinating ways you can easily amaze and astound yourself today?

How You Travel The Success Road Determines How You Get There

“Always remember that the journey IS part of your destination. How you travel can determine how you are when you get there. You want to arrive at your destination refreshed and prepared to enjoy it fully so make it a point to enjoy and delight in all of it. Each second of each day is a gift. Each gift of each day passes and we can never have them again to live over. It makes the most sense to take full advantage when we can. So live fully. Be present. Live now!

When you have desires and dreams your destination is what you want. But don’t put it off. Do not NOT live incredibly while waiting to make something happen. Don’t sacrifice now for then. The journey and destination are part of the same trip. Enjoy all of it completely.

For example, if you want to go biking or hiking or skydiving, or scuba diving, it is the journey you really enjoy. When you reach the destination the ride, or the hike, or the dive is over and completed. You feel great but it was the journey that you actually enjoyed. You got to the end of it feeling delighted and exhilarated because of the how you journeyed. That was the fun and the true enjoyment.

Of course, some people are so insistent on getting to their destination, they miss everything along the way. That seems a very sad and disappointing way to live. The goal is to live now! Feel marvelous now! The present will give way to the future anyway, so while you are focused on what you want, don’t forget what you now have that you can revel in.

The idea behind eating a fabulous meal is not to finish it and push away from the table but to savor it while it lasts. You ultimately will complete it. Enjoy it, don’t rush it. Notice it! Celebrate it. Feel how delicious it is and how good it is to be alive.

Yes, your destination IS important.

It is true you focus on getting there and pursue it passionately. You want to reach it that is the point and the reason to have a future dominant purpose. You put your energy into making it happen but do not wait to live. In order to experience the fullest life, the bliss, the delight, the joy you must live it now. Always enjoy your journey.

If you want to go to Paris that is a destination place. It will take a certain amount of time from wherever you are at. That time can seem short or long depending on how you spend it and what you pay attention to.

Did you, as a child, ever ask an adult, ‘Are we there yet?… are we there?…how much longer?’ We wanted to get home or to our destination so badly it seemed to take forever. Our focus wasn’t on the joy of the journey it was JUST on ‘get me there now! I can’t stand waiting’.

Most of our life is spent journeying. Consider that. Most of our time is spent along the way. Make all of it delightful. Savor the seconds, make marvelous the moments and delight in everything. Know where you are headed and why and enjoy moving towards it.

During your travels make it a point to experience these in plenty; love, harmony, joy, happiness, bliss, exhilaration, ecstasy, peace, contentment, serenity, relaxation, fun, comfort, confidence, strength, security, passion, pleasure, acceptance, patience, gratitude, curiosity, wonder, fascination, amazement. Find fun, smile more, laugh more, enjoy your family, friends and even strangers. Feel awesome, incredible, magnificent and every wonderful feeling you can invite and allow. Celebrate!

If the journey gets tough and circumstances are bad keep focus on where you are headed and why. Find the good in the present circumstances and be grateful too for everything you have and can do. Don’t let less than glorious circumstances spoil your travels. Keep the faith, keep moving forward, adjust your route if you must, but don’t give up. You can make it. You will make it. BE patient, not anxious.

Pretend for a moment you had such an incredible journey. More wonderful than you could ever imagine or plan. Sheer delight. Top of the world travel excitement. You lived the dream all along the way! BUT you never arrive at the destination. WOULD you care? Probably not. Because you have been and are so absolutely fulfilled you learned that wherever you are IS the destination and you live with joy.

Feeling this way, living from this reality means you are MUCH more likely to get to your destination because every fiber of your being is involved with feeling incredibly wonderful and alive. You are filled with positive, powerful, passionate radiating energy. Imagine what it would be like to live like this because it is entirely possible for you.

So, remember you want to arrive feeling incredible. Make it a point to enjoy the trip, come what may, and you will. Enjoy the journey and enjoy the destination!” Rex Sikes

How To Feel Better, How To Feel Incredible, When You Don’t

Are their times when you just feel lackluster? You know you could and should feel better but you don’t? Perhaps, you are frustrated, angry, sad, anxious or fearful and want to shake it. Ever feel like that? Maybe you simply feel bored? You could be upset with yourself, others, events or circumstances but whatever it is you just want some relief right? What to do?

I’ll paraphrase a quote attributed to Einstein which states essentially, the solution is never found at the same level that the problem was created. By this it is meant we have to seek elsewhere for the resolution. This is an outstanding point to keep in mind! We rarely, if ever, solve the problem by constantly focusing on it. You have to stop and turn your attention elsewhere.

He did say, and I use it to make this point, ‘…we must realize that we cannot simultaneously plan for war and peace’. We can not focus on two things at once. We are not able to hold two thoughts at one time in our mind. It is not effective to be negative and positive, we need to choose which one to make dominant. If you are feeling less than glorious you won’t feel any better by continuing to focus on it. So you need to move away from those feelings toward something else, but how?

You know the ‘tip of the tongue’ phenomena. You know what you want to say, that person’s name, or that place, that you know YOU know, but can’t summon it up, right now. You can’t recall it for the life of you and the more you try to get it the more it eludes you. YOU cannot force it no matter how hard you try. SO what do you end up having to do? You give up, you forget about it, you go on to something else AND then what happens? Later, it pops into your head!!!

You had to shift your attention away from what you wanted to recall in order to recall it. The same is true with problems and feeling less than glorious. We have to shift our attention and get out of our own way. Focusing on why we feel bad doesn’t bring us good feelings. We have to look outside ourselves or elsewhere and let go.

Let go! Just as we had to give up searching for that name or place. We knew we knew it we just couldn’t access it. SO know that when you ‘let go’ and shift your focus and energy in other directions the answers, and feelings, and thoughts and behaviors you were trying ‘to get’ will ultimately become available to you in positive ways. They actually will when you get out of your own way and allow it!

Many creative geniuses who have struggled to create, solve or invent something and put their energy into it fully, know to take a nap and ‘sleep on it’. Archimedes solved the problem of weighing the king’s crown, by displacement of water while sliding into the bathtub. ‘Eureka!’ he exclaimed and ran off naked to tell the king. The Archimedes Principle indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. It took his body getting into the bath for the idea to ‘pop’ into his head.

In order to feel better RELAX! Let go! Shift your focus. Put it on anything other than yourself and your issue in the moment. Distract yourself by doing nice something for someone else. This is a great way to begin to feel better nearly instantly.

Are you able to find things in your life, family, friends, work, play, yourself for which you readily feel grateful? Some people can list hundreds of things right off the top of their head. Others seem to struggle to find a few. If you have difficulty looking at your life and finding all the wonderful reasons to celebrate and be thankful for then you can do a ‘compassionate comparison’.

You can look at all those millions of people who have it rougher and tougher than you have, who have less than you could ever imagine and be thankful you are, at least, better off. I mean really, most of us are well off beyond belief compared to many, MANY others. We have a roof, food, transportation, we have the basic necessities and then some!

When you make this comparison hopefully it does two things. You look into your own life and find a lot more reasons to be grateful. It stimulates your thinking and your sense of appreciation to celebrate what you do have. Your eyes and being open up and you begin to realize you are better off than you may have thought you were. You discover many new things that make you feel better. As you take inventory and celebrate and truly feel grateful your entire persona transforms. Your energy shifts. What you put your attention and focus on expands and you begin to feel even more wonderful. It is incredible!

Second, it helps you to be aware that there are people without access to what you have and it sensitizes you to their plight. It fills you with compassion and the idea that you might help ease some of the suffering of others. You can do many things small and large to assist them. Whatever action you take will be significant.

It is good to focus on helping others and to take the attention off yourself at least once in awhile. When you help others solve their problems frequently you resolve your own. While attempting to make the ‘me’ successful remember the ‘we’ who actually will help you get there. There is not a single person who ever lived who became successful without the help or co-operation of some others. Sadly, some forget this or just don’t care. Please don’t be one of those. Rise above selfishness.

You might volunteer, in some way, locally or elsewhere. You might donate whatever you can. You might give a neighbor a ride when needed. You might simply be nicer and more positive in your thoughts and actions to ALL others. Once your awareness is raised that others can benefit from positive actions, perhaps, you can share that awareness with family and friends, even strangers. Transform the world around you AND start by transforming yourself.

Thanksgiving is coming up. A day when we are suppose to count our blessings and give thanks. Many people do not have homes or family or friends. What could you do to help out? Could you put some food cans in a drive? Could you serve holiday lunch at a shelter? What might you do? There are any number of options available to do. Your generosity is for you to decide.

Helping others is an incredible way to help ourself. It makes us feel good to know we are a benefit to others. It can make us smile and warm our hearts when we see someone else smile.

When you give to others in need, wherever and whenever you find them, it can make you feel fabulous because you did something kind and sincere. You elevate yourself when you lift up others. The Golden Rule applied makes your life more marvelous when you go first and hold others in high esteem in thought, word and action even if they can’t or won’t return the same to you. You give because you want to not because they will like you or return the favor. When you give from your heart everyone benefits in positive ways, and perhaps, you the most.

‘I had the blues because I had no shoes. Until the day I walked the street. I saw a man who had no feet.’ Dennis Waitley

Really do count your blessings daily it will transform your life. Take the time to do this. Once you begin you won’t want to stop. It will make you feel good. Take a daily and nightly inventory. Let your mind return to positive thoughts of gratitude throughout each day. As you do this life will become a real celebration!

Decades ago in my live workshops (and today) I had students make it a practice to find no less than 25 things they were grateful for every night before they went to bed. They could also do it upon arising. There were those who groaned at the initial suggestion. Some would come back into the seminar room the following day or two and exclaim they could not get to 25. But within days miracle of miracles occurred. Without fail all the students would find more than 25 and then ask if they could write down more than the 25 assigned. OF COURSE THEY COULD!

In my Mind Design programs we practice gratitude, laughter, finding the good and new in each moment, adding novelty by doing routine things, habitual things, in new ways. I encouraged these and many more simple, little things that have a profound effect. We do contralateral movements known as cross crawling, some breathing and movement exercise, and we dance, we learn to ask and utilize Directed Questions to get better results. The key is to learn to approach everything in a relaxed, carefree, stress free way with positive expectations.

Lives were transformed and continue to be transformed doing little things daily. I share many of these with you in this blog. I hope you will take them to heart.

Everyday you, and only you, can make the decision to be happy and have a great day no matter what circumstances appear. When you feel good most of the time you begin making happen your dreams, goals and desires. You can easily transform your entire experience when you keep your focus on the positive. Remember the reasons to be thankful. Think well of yourself and others. Expect the best at all times no matter what. Make this a daily practice and you will be amazed.

You begin attracting and getting what you want because you radiate and reflect that kind of positive energy. When you feel marvelous you accept and are able to allow what you want in life to come to you. You more easily recognize opportunity. You attract to yourself quality people, events and circumstances because you make these happen. YOU actually attract quality! When you feel good everything you desire can come into your life.

Feel good right now. That is the goal. Choose to feel great in the present. Today, I’ve mentioned two methods you can do to immediately start to begin feeling better, and to begin feeling good. When you feel good now you open the flood gates of the future! Life is truly exciting and wonderful! Life becomes grand! ” Rex Sikes

What can you do today to make it incredible for yourself and someone else?

How To STOP Negative Goal Setting And Be Free

“It has been said that fear and anxiety, worry is negative goal setting. When you worry you are planning to have the very thing you don’t want. STOP! Once you discover yourself doing this STOP IT.

Stop planning for negatives, stop attracting what you don’t want and change it to what you do want. Recognize that you were behaving a certain way, stop it, and begin to behave and think in a new way.

Awareness in the moment is the key. Once you recognize you are acting in less than productive ways you can decide to stop and change it. As long as you are ignorant of the fact there will be no difference. Be thankful when your feel bad because that is a signal you can use to make the change. It is a signal alerting you that you have the opportunity to make a choice.

Either continue to do what you have been doing and keep getting what you do not want OR take charge and make a change right this moment to get what you want to have. You can change in this very instant. Be thankful you recognized the signal. Be thankful it got your attention, finally!

You can’t eliminate negative thoughts BUT you can transmute them into positive, productive, powerful thoughts. When you transform your thinking you transform your life. Now is your opportunity.

Whenever you are thinking less than gloriously stop and begin to think about what you are grateful for. Make a list and write down who you love, like and appreciate. Consider when and where you are lucky to have certain people in your life; your family, friends, co-workers, boss, employees. Remember who appreciates you too!

Take an inventory of the things you do have and the things you do that you feel glad about. Look around at all the reasons you have to feel thankful. Look for love, peace, harmony, well-being, health, friendship, relaxation, pleasure, confidence. Anything and everything!

Change your focus. Stop worry, fear, anxiety, depression, feeling sorry for yourself and transform it. Steer yourself gently back to feeling better bit by bit. Focus on what you have and what you want in your life. Imagine the better future. See yourself already in possession of what you want, living the life you dream. Visualize it vividly and often. Feel wonderful as you do. Enjoy theses feelings. Be enthusiastic!

You can’t move forward thinking backward thoughts. You need to place your attention, your concentration and your energy into what you do want and keep it there. You don’t get healthy by thinking unhealthy thoughts. You don’t get rich by thinking how broke you are. You move forward by determining where you want to end up.

Some people may use ‘bad times’ and ‘lack’ to motivate them. They say ‘Never Again!’ or ‘I won’t be poor’, and then they turn their back on the negative. Then they put their energy into creating and moving toward what they do want. They shift their focus from the painful stimulus to the positive prize and go after the prize. They keep their focus consistent. They do not let anything prevent them, no matter what.

The difference between those born to privilege, the silver spooners, and the rest of the population, is that the silver spoon mindset never considers that they can’t, or that they won’t succeed. If they want something they feel entitled to it. The born wealthy assume they can and will have it. They don’t doubt or fear not getting it. Yes, they are raised this way! Yes, they may even feel superior and snobby.

YOU can begin to think this way without being a snob. You can begin to realize if you want anything in this world you deserve it. You are as much entitled to it as anyone else. We all are! There is a legal, healthy way to make it happen for yourself when you first start believing that YOU can make it happen. Develop a positive, productive, powerful, CAN DO mindset!

As you do these things consistently you form a positive habit. Do these, when you don’t need to do them, so that when you do need them you are prepared. Do these things repeatedly and you will build a habit that works automatically and reliably for you. Learn to face hard times with a smile knowing you can get through anything you are presented with AND YOU WILL! Become unstoppable.

Appreciate the present! Celebrate everything. Seek to feel wonderful each moment. Set your positive goals and make them happen. The more you do this the easier it becomes and the more time you will spend living this way! You will shift the balance of your thoughts, feelings, behavior and life to the positive. Your life will become so much more wonderful! Enjoy it, delight in it. Start now.

It all begins with thought. It begins with your own personal power and energy. Stop giving attention to what you do not want and give your attention and energy to that which you do. Create and attract what is good for you. ” Rex Sikes

The Power of Thinking Positive! PT 6 How To Recognize Opportunity As The Wealthy Do

What is an affirmation? It could be an accurate observation of the current moment. It could be a statement of fact. It could be an opinion. It is a declaration and an assertion. It is positive and to use the word itself it is affirming. It promotes well-being and positivity. It’s designed to encourage and support.

Continued from: The Power of Thinking Positive! How To Make Your Thoughts Work For You Parts 1- 5

Abundance is a current buzzword that some enjoy and some are growing tired of. I think it’s worthy to use for examination. Try this on: ‘We live in an abundant universe. Abundance flows to me and through me. I deserve riches and all good things. I am wealthy in every way. I give to and I help others from my abundance’.

Some people will say, ‘nope we live in a world where resources are being depleted and there are too many people’. That may be. Still, there is at this time, plenty of air, sun, darkness, food, water, money and everything else needed for everyone on the planet to thrive.

The biggest problem for us is not that these things are scarce but that people don’t have access to them. That’s sad. Very sad. It’s unfortunate and people should act to rectify it. It’s horrible when the political powers in charge allow or force people to go without. Yes, it’s sad because food, water and resources are plentiful but people are prevented. Everyone deserves health, wealth, well-being and the pursuit of happiness. This, however, is a discussion for elsewhere.

There is plenty to go around. There is plenty of power and electricity, all types of necessary goods, frivolous items, and money. There is so much money. Money is everywhere! Some have much more than others. Many of those who do have money attempt to thwart other’s access to it. Still, there is more than enough money everywhere. There are scores of wealthy people everywhere. Many millionaires and beyond have made their money in the best and the worst of times. Money is plentiful always.

Consider that none of the statements regarding abundance might be accurate. Or they all could be or just some parts of them could be true. After all, the statements are just sentences. You either agree with them or you don’t. You decide what to agree with or disagree with. You have your own reasons or excuses.

You will experience the lifestyle that accompanies your beliefs about those simple sentences. You’ll either have more than enough, enough, just enough or not enough. You determine it all by what you think, believe and where you place the cause of the lifestyle you live. You either accept yourself as the cause of it all or you put it off onto others or circumstances or both.

If you put it off onto others there’s probably little you can do about it. Unless you learn how to better communicate with them regarding your needs so you can improve your lot. If it’s circumstances holding you back then either you give up and allow them to dictate your life or you find a way to legally alter them for your benefit. If you accept responsibility for yourself and your lifestyle you can change whatever you need to change in order to change your lifestyle.

Let’s briefly examine some of the example statements and find out what the upside and downside to thinking that way is. We live in an abundant universe. Of course, someone could object stating that everything is limited and that we are wasteful. They could assert that if we aren’t vigilant we will run out. There’s not enough for everyone and there are people in poverty.

This is not an illogical nor necessarily false statement. It’s a view of current circumstances. The person who embraces this view may embrace the idea they ought to be helping others because they believe it’s important. They may practice conserving their money or they may give away their money OR they may do nothing but live in fear and worry. Anything is possible.

The person who believes there’s abundance could be a pig and a hoarder and consume wantonly without regard for others. This is possible. On the other hand, they could see the world as a friendly place with enough to go around for all. This may inspire them to work so all people have access to resources. They may be inspired to create all manner of wealth, beautiful experiences and good things.

Few, if any, people get rich focused on poverty. Those who get rich make their riches because they turn their backs on poverty. They don’t focus on scarcity and what they don’t have. Instead, they focus on creating what they want. They know what they want and where they want to get to. They are driven to accumulate.

To declare a war on poverty, while well-meaning, places the emphasis in the wrong place. Instead of wiping out poverty let’s create and utilize abundance. Let’s make sure people have all they need and not just basic necessities. To create wealth and well-being for all should be the goal but it isn’t.

To declare war on anything seems a less than optimal way to make changes in our world. It focuses on what we want to eliminate, but does not give clear picture or indication what we want to build and have instead. This has been proven over and over again.

The goal isn’t to eradicate poverty but to ensure all people have more than enough. The person who thinks and believes the world is plentiful finds examples to support that point of view. Just as the person who thinks scarcity is the state of the world, finds examples to support their viewpoint.

There is more that I don’t know than I could ever possibly know. If I err, I prefer to err on the side of what can be done and what is positive and hopeful than otherwise. I could be wrong about the world being abundant but I know it feels better to believe it is. Do you get this?

One point of view is not more right than the other in my world, but some make us feel better than others. There are some people who extract great joy in feeling bad but most people seem to want to feel good. In order to feel better, we need to think the thoughts that make us feel better. Feeling just okay is not an option.

We need to choose what makes us feel the best and put our attention on that. The goal is to live fully and joyfully feeling wonderful as much of the time as we can. Years ago, I declared this world my garden paradise. I claimed ownership. I realized I could either have an ecstatic life or I could have something else. I opted for an ecstatic life. I realized that there are also plenty of co-owners I share this planet with and determined we could all celebrate. If we only would.

I prefer to include everyone in my abundant world. Not everyone will gain or have everything they need or want. There are poor. I don’t blame them. It’s not my place to judge. I prefer to operate from the Golden Rule and what great religious leaders, philosophers and visionaries have had to say about compassion, understanding and ministering to those. I believe givers get but that is not the reason to give. Give simply to give.

Some people will agree completely with each of these statements I used as examples. Others may not. ‘The universe is plentiful. I deserve and attract all good things. I am wealthy in every way. Because I am wealthy I help others.’ Some may not feel that they deserve riches. They may not feel like they attract good things.

If you don’t feel that you deserve riches, if you don’t feel wealthy now, most likely you won’t be or become wealthy any time soon. This is because wealth, just like health and well-being is a mindset. It’s the adoption of and the adherence to certain attitudes and principles. The wealthy look at themselves and the world differently than those who don’t enjoy it. We’ll examine this more later.

In order to HAVE wealth (or anything; a relationship, health, a parent) one must first BE the kind of person who can have it. In order to have things you need to BE AND DO FIRST. In order to be rich, you need to think rich thoughts. In order to be healthy, you need to think healthy thoughts. In order to attract a loving partner, you need to be a loving partner first.

You can DO everything right and work hard but if your attitude and mind set, if your thoughts and beliefs don’t support and encourage you, it’s unlikely you will have wealth, health or much happiness. Unless you get really lucky and inherit it or win the lottery, etc. ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so he is’ is a nice Biblical saying that says, ‘You are your thoughts’.

The wealthy don’t think impoverishing, lackluster, deprecating thoughts. They may or may not practice affirmations as we discuss here but they certainly think differently than most of the rest of the world. They most assuredly feel they deserve to be wealthy and that money is plentiful, easy to make and grow. They see opportunity all around them because they’re primed to see it. If they loose money, they’ll just make some more. Money is to enjoy life. Abundance is wonderful!

Their thoughts, their attitude is primed to help them advance. We can adopt the good components of their mind set to advance ourselves as well. The same is true about people who have healthy loving relationships, are great parents, athletes and are successful in any other ways. Attitude is everything. Attitude determines your altitude! AND if it is possible for one, it is possible for all.

Affirmations help us to look for examples in the world around us and find them. People erroneously think ‘Seeing is believing’ but it’s actually reversed. ‘What we believe determines what we see’. This is verified over and over again by research. Also, we tend to live up to the expectations placed on us by others and by ourselves. Our mind set is critical to how far we’re able to go and what we’re able to be and do.

When you begin to look for good things around you instead of bad things you will find them. The affirmation is an organizing principle around which you wrap your perceptions. You will find reasons to be joyful, happy, healthy and whole. If you look for the negative, the hurtful, the unfair you will find those too. What you seek you will find. What are you seeking most of the time?

Affirmations filter and organize your thoughts and determine what you pay attention to. Look for and notice that which helps you feel great. Look around and notice what’s good, great, and wonderful! Notice what you’re thankful for and delighted in more and more during your day. Stop paying attention to the negative, the less than glorious and what makes you feel bad. What do you spend most of your time doing?

Start validating the good things. Don’t put energy into the bad things. It’s NOT about wearing rosy-tinted glasses and ignoring needs and problems. It’s about being in a positive and productive place to meet those needs and solve those problems. Much more is possible and probable when you feel better. You’re far more resourceful when you feel good.

Don’t let yourself get bogged down in negative or bad feelings when facing difficulty.

When you think abundantly you begin to realize everything is an opportunity. When all of your energy is the highest and in the most positive form you attract other like-minded people to you. Your mind opens you up to possibilities and you’re more readily able to recognize opportunity and positive circumstances and events as they occur.

As you invest in yourself and grow your stock in yourself, your confidence and your sense of worth soars. You’ll move differently in the world and travel to different places too. You’ll have the mindset to find advantages and to act resourcefully. It all begins within you! Unfortunately, too many people think it comes from the outside. That’s why there are so many not living the life they want to live. Your thoughts make it so!

Affirmations help you organize your thoughts so you are able to see what else is possible in you and around you. They’re positive thoughts and statements we can embrace and operate from to feel better and do better. I would rather fill my mind with thoughts of encouragement and support than anything otherwise. Wouldn’t you?” Rex Sikes
