The Enemy Within: Turning Self-Limiting Beliefs into Powerful Possibilities

“The biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you’ve always wanted isn’t external, it’s internal. The way you think about yourself, your potential, and your circumstances shapes your reality more than any external factor. Your thoughts and beliefs are the foundation of every decision you make. They determine whether you pursue your dreams or hold back in fear, whether you see challenges as opportunities or insurmountable barriers.

If your thoughts are negative and your beliefs rooted in limitation and self-doubt, they act like invisible chains, keeping you stuck. But when you align your beliefs with possibility and growth, you unlock the power to achieve extraordinary things. Here’s why changing your beliefs is essential: Your thoughts and beliefs shape your reality. Thoughts become things. What you believe becomes the filter through which you view the world.

If you believe you’re unworthy or incapable, you’ll unconsciously seek evidence to support that belief. Conversely, when you shift to powerfully positive beliefs, you begin to notice opportunities, solutions, and pathways you previously overlooked. Your old beliefs keep you stuck. Most self-limiting beliefs were formed in childhood or during moments of vulnerability. They served a purpose at the time, but not so much anymore.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Perhaps, back then they protected you from failure or criticism, but now they hold you back. Clinging to outdated beliefs is like using an old roadmap for a city you’ve outgrown. Beliefs influence your actions. Your actions are driven by your thoughts and feelings. If you believe ‘I’m not good enough,’ you’ll hesitate, procrastinate, or avoid taking risks altogether. But when you believe in your potential, you’ll take bold steps toward your goals.

I frequently ask people what does the word ‘stuck’ mean or imply? Answer, frozen, trapped. unable to move or make progress. If you aren’t stuck, what are you capable of? Answer, moving. If you’re stuck, what do you want and need to do to get unstuck? Move. Simplistic, yes, I know but the point is, if you are stuck in your thinking, doing the same thing repeatedly what do you want to do to change. Move. Shift. Think differently. Get it?

Once you understand the importance of shifting your mindset, the next step is learning how to reframe limiting beliefs into positive and powerful ones. Let’s explore how to do just that. First things first. Identify your limiting beliefs. You don’t have to worry about subconscious beliefs that some people want you to worry about. Your limiting beliefs often hide behind excuses, fears, or the stories we tell yourself. You don’t have to dig for them!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Beliefs pop out whenever you open your mouth. Pay attention to phrases like: ‘I can’t because…’ ‘I’m not the kind of person who…’ ‘It’s too late for me to…’ ‘I’m not good enough…’ ‘I’ll never make it…’ ‘People like me don’t succeed…’ These thoughts are red flags signaling a deeper, unexamined belief. To begin to change, realize that is a lie. Just say to yourself, ‘Not true.’ ‘That’s a lie.’ And begin to question the validity of those beliefs.

You could ask yourself; Where did this belief come from? Is it based on fact or fear? What evidence exists to challenge it? For example, you might believe, ‘I’m too old to start a new career.’ But countless people like Vera Wang, who became a fashion designer in her 40s, or Colonel Sanders who became rich and famous in his late 60’s prove otherwise. Stop believing lies. Stop accepting them as true. They’re only anchored old feelings.

Instead of remaining stuck in the past, frozen in less-than-glorious feelings, MOVE! Instead of focusing on what you can’t do, shift your perspective to what you can. For every limiting belief, create a counter-belief rooted in possibility: if you think, ‘I’ll never succeed.’ Create a powerful, positive new belief, ‘Every step I take brings me closer to success.’ Create the possibility to be different. If you don’t think it’s true, realize you can learn to do it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Act in positive ways. Step by step. Bit by bit. That’s how you can change your beliefs. Beliefs change when they’re backed by action. Start small: take a class to build a new skill. Reach out to a mentor. Set a goal and commit to achieving it. The more you act in alignment with your new beliefs, the more they’ll solidify. Act now! Every moment spent clinging to limiting beliefs is a moment of potential wasted. So, get moving. MOVE.

Imagine how your life would change if you believed in your ability to overcome challenges, achieve your goals, and live fully. The truth is you already have everything you need within you. The only thing missing is the mindset to unlock it. I’ve guided countless individuals in transforming their lives by shifting their beliefs, and I can do the same for you. Your journey to transformation begins here and now. Those who wait, wait. Act right now.

It’s time to break free from the chains of doubt and step into the life you deserve. Join me in the Create Your Best Life Using Einstein and Tesla’s Genius™ program, where you’ll learn proven techniques to: Identify and dismantle self-limiting beliefs.

Are You Really Busy But Less Productive?

“I want to share this. Quote Investigator discovered the earliest evidence located of the saying included in my meme above, was printed in the syndicated gossip column of Leonard Lyons in 1945. The phrase was used by a producer Martin Gabel at the first rehearsal of Irwin Shaw’s play, ‘The Assassin,’ Gabel noticed a young actress gesticulating wildly instead of remaining motionless. Gabel shouted: ‘Don’t just do something; stand there.’

‘Don’t just do something, sit there!’ How often have you heard the opposite? Society constantly urges us to stay busy, keep moving, and always be doing something. Empty Suit thought leaders, claiming to know but who don’t, urge you to work hard, sacrifice everything, risk, sweat and toil until you make it BUT let me tell you, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is nothing at all. You can be busy and not be productive.

When your car is stuck in the snow or mud you can push the accelerator all you want and still not get anywhere. Doing more of the same things isn’t always effective. Especially, when it ISN’T producing results. Doing more won’t make it happen. Trying harder won’t either. Stop! If you always do what you always did, you’ll keep getting what you always got! Thinking it will be better or different IS the definition of insanity. Don’t listen to empty suits.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The greatest breakthroughs often happen when you stop, sit quietly, and allow yourself to be fully present in the moment. When you rush around trying to do everything, you miss opportunities that come from stillness. You miss insights that arise when you quiet your mind and let go of the constant need to act. This isn’t about being lazy or avoiding responsibility; it’s about tapping into the power of reflection, contemplation, and inner peace.

Think about it; some of the greatest minds in history knew the value of stillness. Albert Einstein wasn’t always solving complex equations or conducting experiments. He often spent time in deep thought, simply sitting and letting his mind wander. That’s how some of his most revolutionary ideas came to him. He didn’t force them; he allowed them to emerge naturally. He used his imagination. He rested, relaxed and allowed ideas to come.

Mahatma Gandhi led an entire nation to freedom, but he did so by first finding his own inner peace. Gandhi spent hours in meditation and reflection, seeking clarity and strength. His ability to remain calm and centered, even in the face of tremendous adversity, was what made him such a powerful leader. He didn’t just react to the world around him; he took the time to connect with his deeper purpose before taking action.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Marie Curie wasn’t endlessly in the lab conducting experiments. She valued quiet reflection, allowing herself time to think deeply about her discoveries. This stillness enabled her to connect the dots others missed. She didn’t jump to conclusions; she patiently let her insights develop. This led her to groundbreaking work in radioactivity and earned her two Nobel Prizes. I repeat, this stillness enabled her to make connections others missed.

Curie understood the power of pausing, thinking, and letting the truth reveal itself in its own time. Or consider Maya Angelou. As a writer, poet, and civil rights activist, Angelou knew the power of stillness in the creative process. She often spoke about the importance of sitting quietly, listening to the world around her, and letting inspiration flow naturally. Angelou didn’t force her words; she allowed them to come to her in their own time.

This patience and deep reflection are what gave her work such profound depth and resonance. She connected with her inner voice and the collective human experience, creating literature that continues to inspire millions. Angelou’s legacy wasn’t just built on action; it was built on the wisdom that comes from stillness. Like many others, these show us that stillness isn’t about inaction, it’s about creating the space for true insight to emerge.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The point is, sometimes you need to slow down to speed up. In a world that glorifies busyness, taking the time to sit quietly can seem radical. BUT inner silence allows you to recharge, to reconnect with your inner wisdom, and to approach challenges with a clear mind and a full heart. So the next time you feel the urge to rush into action, pause for a moment. Ask yourself, “What would happen if I just sat here, right now?”

You might be surprised by the answers that come to you when you give yourself the gift of stillness. This doesn’t mean you should never act. You know me better than that. But when you do act, do so from a place of calm, centered strength. Don’t just do something because you feel you have to; do it because you’ve taken the time to understand why it matters. Take the time to sit, to breathe, and to let your intuition guide you.

That’s where your true power is! You don’t need to chase every opportunity, every problem, or every goal with frantic energy. Stop listening and doing what empty suits want you to do. Some don’t know any better. Others want you to falter and fail so you rely on them. Be wise. Stop following bad advice from people who don’t necessarily mean well for you. Be willing to listen but be wise enough to vet the info you are receiving. Get this!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Instead, cultivate the wisdom to know when to sit, reflect, and let the right path unfold before you. Remember, the most successful people aren’t always the busiest—they’re the ones who know when to pause, when to listen, and when to let the world come to them. Don’t just do something, sit there! AND watch how your world begins to transform. Think about it; some of the greatest minds in history knew the value of stillness.

These men and women, like many others, show us that stillness isn’t about inaction. It’s about creating the space for true insight to emerge. They knew that by sitting quietly, reflecting, meditating, imagining, allowing they could tap into a deeper level of creativity and understanding. They didn’t just react to the world; they engaged with it thoughtfully, allowing their purpose to guide their actions.

So the next time you’re tempted to rush into something, remember Angelou, Curie, Einstein and Jobs. Remember my voice encouraging you to take a moment to sit, to breathe, and to let the answers come to you. True power, true creativity, and true leadership don’t always come from doing more. They often come from knowing when to do less and listen more to your inner voice and awareness. True change and power is from within to without. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Two Quotes To Keep In Mind

“I think you’ll appreciate these two quotes. The first is from Ralph Waldo Emerson. ‘Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.’ So many people wish for their lives to change. He puts the truth out there. Go ahead and make your dreams come true. If you want your inner reality, your dreams, to be your outer reality, the results you get, then go ahead and do it.

It’s completely up to you. Create the future you want to live. Don’t let anything stop you. I couldn’t agree more, how about you? The second quote is from Walt Disney. Keep in mind Disney created an empire that’s still ongoing today. ‘If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing started with a dream and a mouse.’ If you can dream it you can do tt are powerful words.

The Disney Empire started with a dream and a mouse. He knew what he wanted. Then he went about accomplishing it. He drew, animated and was the voice of Mickey Mouse and from that that everything else became possible. He made his passion his purpose and accomplished his dreams. The outer results of the dream he created are a movie/television studio, merchandise and theme parks generating billions.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

If you can dream it you can do it! Dare to live the life you dream! Never dream small. Dream big and make it all come true. Make your passion your purpose and fulfill it. Don’t let anything stop you from creating and living the life you want. If you can conceive it and believe it you can achieve it, said Napoleon Hill. You’ve heard from others, now what say you? Will you do it? Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes

Moe Rock, CEO The Los Angeles Tribune says, “One of the best books in personal development published in the last 25 years.”

The Secret To Easily Succeeding!

“Helen Keller faced incredible odds. Blind and deaf shortly after birth she grew up to become an educated speaker capable of inspiring countless others because of her spirit and attitude. She’s only one example of someone who prevailed though she faced enormous odds. Napoleon Hill wrote, ‘Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.’ The seed of an EQUAL or greater benefit! Understand this.

There is opportunity and advantage in every problem, hardship, obstacle, challenge we encounter. However, to recognize the advantage and benefit, the opportunity, we must become aware and develop the correct mindset. Henry Ford exemplified this attitude saying, ‘If you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re correct.’ Hill’s son was born without ears. He didn’t have the external or internal physical auditory equipment to hear.

Hill refused to believe this would be a limitation for his son, and considered it a blessing. He taught his son he was special. Not having ears made him special. Hill passed this attitude onto his boy who did learn to hear and went on to accomplish much. To some, it may seem as though success comes only after much effort and hard work, but Hill said that it was NOT about hard work, and that hard work was a myth. That DOESN’T mean no work!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Hill meant your attitude comes first! Success takes work but it can be enjoyable work with the right attitude. It does not have to be hard work. This is important to note! If you love and are passionate about what you do YOU NEVER work a day in your life. You do what you do because you love it. Hill emphasized that successful results followed the development of a successful mindset! GET THIS GET THIS GET THIS. MINDSET FIRST!! Right actions follow!

To succeed in the world, one first must learn to control one’s own mind. Develop a winning mindset and attitude. Then one becomes unstoppable and can command great things. Mindset first. Right actions follow the right mindset. Attitude IS everything because it is the first step. Some don’t believe it and prove themselves correct as Ford said. Success first begins within. He emphasized this often. It is from within to without that we make things happen.

Most people toil hard and encounter difficulty because their attitude isn’t right. They struggle because they try to do things instead of developing their attitude and allowing the right actions to follow. Right mindset produces right actions which produce right results. ‘What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.’ AND Success comes to those who become success conscious.’ He said, ‘It is true nothing can bring you success but yourself.’

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

If one is to be successful it’s up to that person to develop their mindset and their powers to accomplish whatever it is they want. I’ve discussed this many times in these pages. It would serve you well to re-visit again and re-read. Read my book, ‘Life on Your Terms’.’ Get the Attitude Activator™ and develop an unstoppable, powerful and positive attitude. Attitude does not mean pumped up. There’s more to it. Read the book. Also read Hill!

Regarding wealth accumulation, he wrote. ‘When riches begin to come, they come so quickly and in such great abundance that one wonders where they have been hiding during all those lean years.’ He points out that our minds ‘become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds.’ AND ‘These magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts’.

‘All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination; Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.’ AND ‘Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.’ It is up to you to take control of your minds. Learn to use your mind to develop your own happiness, health, wealth and success. If you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it’ YOU CAN if YOU conceive and believe. Get it. YOUR MINDSET is the key to your success. Know this. Apply this. Do this and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Dive Deep Below The Surface In Sales And Negotiations

“In my last blog I encouraged you to look deeper into a person’s behavior to discover what might possibly be influencing them or motivating them from within. The surface answer may address the symptoms but not the cause. What is the underlying cause or intention they are attempting to fulfill by speaking or behaving as they do. I suggested care when in the company of others. Be respectful at all times. Be willing to go deeper.

The same exploration should take place when negotiating, during the sales process and whenever you want or need to discover what might be holding the person back, what they need to move forward, or why they are acting as they are. Ask yourself, ‘why might they be doing this? ‘Why else? What else might be going on? What need or desire are they really attempting to fulfill?’ What is the possible reason behind the one they give?

Hold them in positive regard. Allow them to be who they are without judgement. Stay open. Be receptive. Pay attention. Listen to learn. You know the saying, success leaves clues. WELL, so do people. People are always trying to fulfill what is most important to them in the moment and in life. What they present may not be the actual reasons or motivations. Keep this in mind. They aren’t wrong doing this. We all do it. It’s human.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Don’t ridicule or shame them. Attempt to let them know their interests are in your heart IF they truly are. If not, you might want to pass it along to someone who cares when and if possible. Objections people speak may not be the actual objection. They may say cost but inside are afraid to decide because they fear a bad outcome. Cost is what they say. At the same time, it is possible they say what the issue is. Be sensitive and understand.

The map is not the territory. The menu is not the meal. It is not that they are trying to be dishonest, albeit in some cases, perhaps. Most often they are just offering what is at the tip of their consciousness. It’s the story and reasoning they repeat frequently. It can also be helpful to think of them inside as a child. Don’t treat them like some adults treat children. Treat them as adults but understand this principle. They’re people of worth.

If you are kind, caring, compassionate and seeking to understand you treat them with respect. You don’t try to yank them into another position but travel at their speed. Go only as fast as they can understand, see and appreciate your points and begin to dissolve whatever objection, difficulty or fear they may have. NOW, not all inner motivations are based on fear. Some are what they want. Don’t be a victim to hallucinations about them.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Sometimes they are attempting to fulfill bigger or more important values but don’t yet know how. What they say and do is what they know to do presently, and they may still be trying to figure things out. By helping a person uncover what is driving them to get clear on it, whether it is an obstacle, or a desire is a benefit to them. You help free them to be who they are. You assist them. You seek to discover accurately what is going on.

When they understand and appreciate what may be going on they can choose to keep it or let it go. They can choose to diminish it or enhance it. That is liberty. That is a place of power. They are back in the driver’s seat. Your ability to help solve problems, trouble shoot and communicate influentially, respectfully, positively and optimistically can add to your worth in the marketplace. That’s only one of many wonderful benefits.

We need problem solvers who can uplift and edify others and who can accurately pinpoint what the issues are needing to be resolved. You must be careful to not get too filled with yourself and stay humble. Why? Because your ability depends on your skill in listening and hearing what is said underneath the words and observing and witnessing patterns in behaviors. You must remain open. You just have clear open sensory channels to notice.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You are like a detective following up leads. Unlike a detective you are not trying to ‘get’ someone. But know this, ‘lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.’ What you can’t yet see doesn’t mean it isn’t there or there is not a connection somewhere else. The answer usually is there but like a forest of trees we miss what we are looking for. Being open and available are skills to develop. If you cloud your own judgement you’ll miss what’s real.

Knowing how to create rapport, preserve respect and maintain relationships in trouble situations, difficult negotiations, the sales process or with family, friends and strangers is of prime importance. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater by attempting to get to the deeper issues. Don’t succumb to thinking someone is lying because they have inner motivations and desires. Get this. Assume they are being truthful and may not know.

It’s about allowing whatever is within to rise to awareness so one can more effectively choose how to proceed. Since we can’t not communicate, everything is communication. What people think, how they think, what they say, how they say it, what they do and how they do it ARE always there for us to notice and detect patterns that serve them or hold them back. BUT KNOW THIS. We live from within to without but may not be aware of it all.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Even something that holds a person back is serving them. It is what they know. It is how they do it. It is a habit they learned. It isn’t bad or wrong. It serves a positive purpose. Finding that positive purpose or intention is important. Preserve their integrity. A person is more than their behaviors. You might assign a positive intent. That is reframing. It’s looking for a plausible positive spin. Put a positive frame around their behavior.

The goal should be for them to feel better after being with you and not worse. They ought to feel like you helped them move forward and freed them up to make those moves. It ought to be a win/win for everyone. Leave people feeling better than you found them. Help them appreciate who they are. Don’t blow smoke be genuine. The more you are available and genuine the more they can be. Create that space. Nature abhors a vacuum. Create the space and it can be filled with insight, harmony, understanding, acceptance, positive esteem and regard, love, kindness and positive growth. You and the other can become a team. Get this and you get a lot. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

A Guide To Helping Others Resolve Difficulties

“When dealing with others, family, friends, colleagues and strangers consider the behavior you’re observing. Think about it. Don’t rush to a judgement. Stay open. Observe before you address it. What might the person be attempting to achieve? Maybe they aren’t going about it in the best way, but their motives are noble. How is the behavior impacting others? Think about it.

If it isn’t impacting others now, let it alone. For example, if you’re a parent or teacher and the child’s behavior isn’t impacting others, don’t draw other’s attention to it. Doing so might serve to escalate and cause issues where there weren’t any. If the child is singled out or embarrassed, you may need to address things you would not have had to if left alone. Don’t create issues. Get it?

Consider what might be going on beneath the surface that gives rise to their behavior and word choices. What might be the deeper needs they are trying to fulfill? When answering questions as a teacher, trainer, coach or guide you might ask yourself, ‘what is the question behind their question?’ Be open. Don’t judge. If you do discover a deeper need, it’s important to address it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The question asked may not be the real question they’re trying to get answered. Not everything is always upfront and on the surface. There may be deeper needs, deeper quests, deeper reasons, and it would be valuable to explore and attempt to discover what is really going on inside them. Yes, you may be wrong OR you may be right. It’s not about that. It’s NOT about you. Get this!

It’s about getting to the real reasons, the deeper needs, the unanswered longings that concern them. What you can do is listen intently, not to solve but to discover. Stay open. Pay attention. Give them respect and understanding. There are no wrong or stupid questions or answers. Everything is applicable. If it’s appropriate depends on the context and may need addressing.

You’re with them in this. Align with them and assist them in clarifying. If the behavior is inappropriate or impacting others in less-that-glorious ways, how might you help them get what they want in more positive and productive ways? How might they adjust their behaviors to be more successful in their quest? Exlpore positive resources and possibilities with them. Be a guide.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

What other questions might you ask to gain a deeper understanding of what it is they see? Be a friendly guide. Assist them. If it’s not your place don’t chastise them or reprimand them. Never humiliate or embarrass them. It should never be that you’re right and they’re wrong. Help them explore options and alternatives to discover their deeper needs and address those needs.

Address their needs in ways that help serve them and others better. Help them understand you’re in it together. Become a team of problem solvers and forward thinkers. Act first with compassion and the desire to understand. Then you can assist others in accessing their inner resources and the resources around them to discover possibilities and opportunities they may have not realized previously. Love them, Uplift them. Edify them and celebrate with them. More in next blog. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Make A Big Thing About The Little Things

“Too many people make big things from the little things that annoy them. They turn molehills into mountains. Their way to enjoy life more is to let go of the things that bother us and get us angry or down. Release them. Stop putting energy into them by thinking and speaking about them. Let them go. Withdraw that energy. Energy flows where your attention goes. Do this instead.

Make big things from the little things that delight you! Think about and speak about what pleases you and puts a smile on your lips. Focus on what you are thankful for. Accentuate the positive. Smile more. Laugh more and you will delight more. Genuinely express gratitude. Pat yourself on the back when you move in the direction you want. Treat yourself gently when you don’t.

Whenever you find your focus on the negative or the less-than-glorious, shift it back toward the positive. This is THE skill worth developing! Become aware when you’re thinking and feeling other than positive or the best you can and intentionally change it for the better. While some think it may not be possible to feel blissful 100% of the time but you can feel better at any moment.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Whenever you become aware of feeling less-than-glorious, commit to making yourself feel just a LITTLE bit better. Even a little bit is better than not at all. Inch yourself into feeling better little bit by bit. You may not be able to leap into glorious feelings, but you don’t have to remain stuck in a horrible place either. Think about and express what you are grateful for and love. Smile some.

Notice when you do this you can change yourself. You can better navigate the world as it changes. As your awareness increases your belief in yourself increases. You are now beginning to experience a change of attitude by becoming aware that you do have the power to transform yourself and your moments. By finding what to appreciate your appreciation for you increases.

Believe in yourself. If you don’t have it, begin to learn how to develop it. Develop confidence. Develop a powerful and positive attitude. Everyone begins somewhere. If you are deficit in any area now is the time to change that. Once you believe in yourself you come to realize your ability to create the kind of person you want to be and the kind of life you desire. It’s up to you!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You can choose to create what you want and STOP creating what you don’t want. You understand you must focus on becoming who you already are and your desires. Not on what you want to avoid. Focus on what’s good and what is wonderful. Stop complaining and criticizing yourself, others and the world. Believe you can and you will! ‘If it is to be, it is up to me’ is your motto.

Instead of complaining and whining, do something to change whatever needs changing. I’ve been sharing with you and others for decades how to do this. If you aren’t changing the way you want it’s’ not because the pathway or the guides aren’t available. It’s a choice you have been making whether deliberately or not. The moment of change is always here and now. If you want it, do it.

You are not god creating the world but you are a powerful resourceful person who can succeed and be happy if you want to. You can find a plan and find the way. Challenges are just part of the process. Because you believe strongly in yourself and expect to succeed, you become unstoppable. You make good happen, or lemonade from lemons, because of your unwavering faith in your abilities to find a way, to connect with the right people, to engineer the events to bring about what you want. You gather the resources and you connect the dots! Instead of giving up, you transform yourself and your world. Celebrate Everything” Rex Sikes

Manifesting Power: DO THIS TO SUCCEED, The World Can Be Your Oyster

“It is from within to without – you really aren’t creating or attracting anything, you are transmuting the energy from having invisibly to having physically. Yes, you can affirm and visualize, journal and rehearse and all these practices are meant to get you to live from the feeling of already having it. To live and feel as if the wish is already fulfilled.

To be optimistic and positive and feel what it is like to already be it, are doing it and having it. Celebrate and be grateful for it now. Don’t put it in the future some day you might or will, NOPE you have it and are enjoying it now. You are seeing what you’d see, hearing what you’d hear, feeling what you’d feel, smelling what you’d smell and tasting what you’d taste NOW.

You don’t some imagine, visualize and affirm eating a dessert someday you imagine how good it is, the texture, the taste, the enjoyment, the satisfaction, what it looks and smells like, where you taste it in your mouth, chew ut, swallow it and how marvelous it is right this very moment. You create or recreate ALL the sensations you would experience then, IN THIS MOMENT!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It is now. You never put it off. If it is for another day then you don’t have it now, you don’t want to concentrate on the gap of not having it but the experience of having it right this instant. This intense experience tells your server subconscious THIS EXPERIENCE IS IT. Then it crafts the ways and means for you to get it.

You transmute the ideal experience within you are having now into the physical reality. It is only an energetic exchange and nothing else. From within to without. Get it? You think about it while feeling good- AND -you think about it and feel good. You keep this up until you get it. This is the process of making your dreams come true.

You fill your mind with what you want while feeling incredible, powerful, positive, intense feelings. You repeat it day and night. Your subconscious gets your message and begins working on it. At the same time develop certainty. Develop the certainty it is yours. Get this? That is what faith means. You know it. You don’t doubt, fear or worry. You let go and relax and have confidence in the process.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Your server will bring the food. Your serve will make what you want happen. Just as you give the waitperson the order and they take it back to the kitchen your conscious mind gives your subconscious mind the order. The waiter goes back to the kitchen where the chef (your subconscious mind and infinite intelligence) makes your food.

The chef or infinite intelligence makes the internal neural connections with your resources and your instincts and those around you in the world, the situations, circumstances and other people you need to make it come together for you. You don’t know the whole plan before you start the process of getting it. You can’t anyway. You don’t have to know how everything will work out before you begin.

You can’t anyway. You place the order and let those qualified work on making it happen (your subconscious mind and infinite intelligence is qualified). In the same way you don’t have to know how the dish is made or prepared. The chef is making it for you. You don’t micromanage or interfere unhelpfully. You do not go into the kitchen attempting to speed them up. It takes whatever time is necessary to prepare and cook your dish.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

If you ran into the kitchen and picked the meal apart and asked questions about each ingredient, how it was prepared and how much time it would take you would only delay getting the meal. The more you interfered the longer it would take. Let the chef handle it. Wait patiently trusting it will be there when it is ready. Stay out of your own way. Your subconscious and infinite intelligence will do its part.

You do your part. Your part is to know what you want. Want it intensely to create the passionate feelings about it so much that you can already taste it. You feel it now as if it is yours. Live from that feeling of the wish fulfilled. Relax, trust, wait optimistically. Don’t interfere, whine or complain or keep checking or asking if it’s ready or when. Believe and receive. Cooperate with the universal laws.

Cooperate with the process. Be in harmony with these principles and develop the attitude of a master manifestor. Think and feel the best. ENJOY life. Be grateful this is yours. Be grateful you are a positive, optimistic manifestor. Vibe high! ENJOY!! This is the process. It’s simple. Know what you want. Keep it intensely in your mind with great feelings. Believe and expect you will get it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Don’t interfere with the process. Don’t keep checking on whether it is turning out right or coming on time. Relax, and trust. Keep doing the process until you get it. If obstacles and challenges arise keep on going. Adjust as necessary but don’t give up. This is a process. It’s not magic. Someone is not giving it to you. It’s not the universe providing it in mystical ways.

It’s you and the universe cooperating to make it happen. It’s not your effort, struggle, risk or sacrifice. It’s not about you. It’s 99% right mind and 1% right actions. You make it happen! You call it into being! You manifest it, you create it! You do the work to bring it about. You focus your mind and your thoughts on getting what you want. It starts with your mind. Most of the work is done there.

Attitude is everything! The physical work is not as important as the mindset but it’s still important. As your subconscious mind makes connections (I discussed the role of the RAS in earlier posts) it alerts you to opportunities you might have otherwise missed. You more readily notice events, circumstances, people, advantages favorable to you.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Because of your positive mindset and attitude, you draw others toward you. You ultimately develop a plan or the next steps you need to take on the way to getting your goal. Your subconscious is a fabulous mechanism when you learn and know how to use it to get what you want. AND when you get out of its way. The work you do to get your goal comes from your subconscious mind.

It reveals the things that you need to do to accomplish your goal. 99% of your success IS YOUR mental attitude and 1% the work, the steps you take that will get you everything you want in life. You can be, do and have anything and everything you want when you put your mind to it. Don’t sell yourself short, you have everything you need to be successful inside you! SO, celebrate everything!!” Rex Sikes

Stop Chasing Start Attracting

“Stop chasing! Start attracting. Flowers don’t chase bees. Stop chasing things. Stop chasing romance. Stop chasing money. If you are chasing something it means it is running from you. Fleeing. The faster you chase the faster it runs away. Stop trying so hard. Stop losing. Start winning. Drop inside. Inside you already have everything. You don’t think so and that’s the problem.

You are focused on not having. You’re focused on not having enough. As a result you create and attract that. Stop focusing on lack. Stop focusing on wanting so desperately. Stop thinking about the problems. Shift your focus to abundance. Shift to positivity. Shift to feeling fulfilled. When you do you align inner resources and feel better. You promote healthy brain and body chemistry, You feel better.

When you feel better you think better. When you think better you feel better. Drop within. Everything you desire originates within. Tap into the source instead of being distracted by things, others, events and circumstances. Find the peace within that passes all understanding. Discover the abundance that is pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. You are infinite possibilities and resources within.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You have infinite potential within. If you don’t know this, you miss out. You ARE a creator and you ARE an attractor. Attract and create. Be it first to do it correctly to have what is already yours. LIVE from the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When you do that there is no more wanting because when you are fulfilled you already possess what you desired. Stop chasing and be grateful. Feel gratitude. Shift your mindset to gratitude. Feel in every fiber of your being and everything transforms. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

The Student Is Ready, The Teacher Appears And Then What?

“When the student, or disciple, is ready, the teacher, master or lesson, appears. What makes a student ready? What makes a student? In the old days there were disciples and apprenticeships. That is not so much the way of the modern world of hacks and quick fixes. Historically, a hack was a disparaging term until recently when it’s used synonymously for a short cut. A short cut may not be a good thing.

A hack was a worn-out horse for hire or a person hired to perform unpleasant or distasteful tasks for some form of reward or money. A student is one who takes interest in a particular subject, studies and learns hopefully to master the skills. Then the student disciple or apprentice applies what one learns as a fellowcraft. It’s a process of gaining expertise through feedback on the road to mastery.

Not everything one learns will take one that far. There are important principles and practices and skills we master and make habits that govern our everyday lives. We have thought, feeling, speech and behavior habits that serve us or don’t. When we want to be healthier, happier, wealthier or more successful there are crucial talents and skills and principles necessary to acquire and master. Some do.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

When I was a teenager, more than anything, I wanted someone who would show me the ropes in the movie business. I desperately wanted a mentor. By chance one day I met a man who was successful in the movie business who had many successful proteges. He saw something in me and said so. He was willing to guide me for free. He didn’t want anything in return. I thought this too good to be true.

I was suspicious, at times fearful and certain he wanted something more. But truly, he wanted nothing other than the satisfaction of seeing me make something of myself in the business I wanted to succeed in. That terrified me too. I was always second guessing his motives, but I told him I was willing to do anything professionally it took to make it. I said that again and again. So, he told me what to do.

He gave me the first step. ‘Oh, you don’t understand’, I’d exclaim, ‘I can’t do that.’ I would proceed to tell him why. He’d nod understandingly and explain that I could do that or do this other thing. ‘Oh no,’ I’d say, ‘I am willing to do anything but not that.’ I didn’t want those lessons or could not see the value of pursuing a particular area. I didn’t have the money, the time, the skill or just thought I knew better.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Time after time he’d make suggestions. Most I would negate. Some I would try. Usually, I’d abandon whatever it was he had me doing. He never complained. He completely accepted me. He accepted me resisting him. He never threw up his hands or told me he wouldn’t continue. He had the patience of a saint. He had the awareness of a mystic. That’s what truly he was. He was good and kind to all.

He knew he was fantastic at what he did, but ego wasn’t part of his persona. He had nothing to prove. He embodied his talent, his awareness, his generosity and compassion without any form of bragging. He was secure in who he was. Our relationship lasted several years. I’d run away for days or weeks or months at times and come back dragging my tail and he welcomed me joyously. Never a criticism.

I left him eventually to find someone who could help me make it in showbiz. However, we remained friends until he passed many years later. He was an incredible guide who helped so many. He helped me but I didn’t know it or appreciate it. Had I listened and followed his suggestions things may have been far easier and better for my career. BUT I wasn’t really ready. The student thinks so, but isn’t.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

What is a student? When is the student ready? A student becomes ready when the student is teachable. I was not teachable. I knew what I needed and was willing to do some of it but certainly not all of it. If there was any conflict with my ego, fears and worries, I’d resist, make excuses and blame but not do it. Or I might try it and decide it was too hard, beneath me or made me look foolish.

I’d say, ‘yes, but’ and ‘no, you don’t understand’ and then provide reasons why I couldn’t or wouldn’t. It is more accurate to say I would not than I could not. I could have but did not. And reasons for doing or not doing are meaningless are really nothing but excuses. Pay attention here because this is important. Reasons are only reasons. Excuses ARE excuses and nothing else!! They don’t matter.

You can use them to prevent yourself and attempt to get away with it, but they don’t add or change anything. They protect the ego as do blames and resentment of others. The questions one must ask oneself is ‘am I willing to learn?’ ‘Am I willing to be taught? ‘How teachable am I?’ Many people answer, ‘I am willing to learn anything’, but when the rubber hits the road, they aren’t. Are you?

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

I wasn’t. How teachable are you? How willing are you to change? How willing are you to change what you think and what you are doing to think and do something new? Instead of being open and flexible in mind to take in NEW information and practices many people merely defend the old. That’s what I did. Instead of moving forward I defended what I already knew attempting to preserve ‘something.’

I had all the reasons and defenses why I could not or would not do or try something. If I didn’t think it would work or see the value in it, I wouldn’t allow it in. I discarded it before understanding it by experiencing it. Excuses prevent new opportunities from occurring. You only lose out if you are not willing to accept something new to try on. Like a new article of clothing, try it on to see if it fits.

Give it a good try and if it doesn’t add value to you then do something else. BUT be open and receptive to trying something unlike what you would normally do. It’s the only way to begin to get out of your comfort zone. That’s why for some positive growth experiences we say, ‘if you can’t, you must.’ Don’t let a thought or fear or worry or your past prevent you from doing good for yourself and others.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Be open and available. Otherwise, you may have found the teacher and the master but if you don’t listen and do, hear and obey, try things on and experience the difference and get the feedback, you waste the teachers time. I learned later what an incredible opportunity I had and vowed never to abuse that time or the person willing to help me in that way again. I was closed but I opened.

You can too. Be willing to learn. be willing to change. Be willing to be teachable. Be willing to listen and absorb and follow the rules. Once you are good at the rules then experiment. Gain experience. BUT first know, in choosing a master or teacher or trainer it’s important that your interests are in the heart of the guide. Don’t go to someone whose interests are only your compliance. It must be heart.

It’s heart-centered care and compassion. It is not insisting you change for them. The person should be the kind of guide who helps you change for yourself and guides you to be the best YOU, you can be without wanting personal gain or to have power over you. You’re not their lackey. A true master is rare. As I discovered they can be terrifying to be around. Not because of them but because of me.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

I wasn’t ready to give up and adopt new ways of thinking and being. Being honest with oneself can save time. One might even call it a hack today. Eventually, I learned the lesson. I found others who would assist me and inspire and edify and uplift me. That doesn’t mean everything was easy or pleasant. Personal transformation as well as professional transformation comes at a cost. But later I was ready to pay for it and I am so glad I did. I learned opportunity is always there, but we might not notice or be ready for it. The best way is to practice flexibility and openness. More in my next blog. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
