“Far too many people regret the past. Worse, they live tethered to times they cannot change. If you cannot change it, it’s a huge mistake to let the past haunt you. The past is gone. Still, people keep dragging it around with them. They relive it. Perpetuate it. Why? Because they haven’t learned how to let it go. They haven’t learned to move on. They do what they have always done from habit.

The only person keeping the past alive is you. To let go of the past one has to decide to let go of it. One must decide to move on. It is a choice. Stop making the past current. It’s gone. It’s a memory. Stop letting the memory dictate how you think, feel and act. Stop letting a memory control you! Don’t fret about the future. It hasn’t happened. It may not be as bad as you worry it will.

Worrying about it won’t change it. All you’re doing is pouring energy into something that hasn’t happened, yet you fear it could. Get that. You fear it might. Well, it might not! Worrying and fearing isn’t going to make it not happen. You’re wasting as much time worrying as you are reliving the past. STOP! Worry has been called ‘negative goal setting’.

To worry is to be focused on what you don’t want instead of what you do want. You can’t undo the past but you can accept it. You can change how you think about it. You can change how you view it. You can change how you feel about it. You can forgive. You can let it go. You can tell a different story. You can move on. Focus on something else.

You can’t change the past but you can change yourself! You can’t prevent what hasn’t happened by worrying about it or by being scared of it. You can shape the future but only if you know what you want. You can focus on what you want instead of what you don’t. You can put energy into what you intend to create instead of allowing ‘it’ to control you and dictate your fate. You can stop worrying.

Instead, focus on what you’re grateful for right now. You can appreciate right now. You can withdraw your attention and energy from the past or future and put it on this moment. Keep in mind you get what you think about. What you focus on expands. So if you’re focused on what you don’t want that’s precisely what you end up with. Focus on what you DO want. Shift your attention.

Where you live IS in the here and now. Unless you’re always some place else in your head. I understand this. I spent lots of time living in the past. The future was never real for me. I couldn’t really imagine anything good coming from it. Sure, I hoped it would be good but I didn’t expect it. Plus, I knew what I loved from the past. What I missed and what regrets I had. It seemed better.

I romanticized the past, I valued it over my present and future. I longed to relive the ‘good ole days’. When I realized it wasn’t serving me. I liked the past. Some hate the past. It is essentially the same thing. The focus is looking back at something. I had to train myself to focus on my present to enjoy it AND my future to shape it. Shape the future but live now. Be here now are important words.

Learn to focus on the present! Let go of the past. If you must reflect on it then learn from it. Learn so you don’t repeat the same mistakes. Shape your future. Decide what you want it to be. Remember, how your future shows up depends on what you think and do today. You create your future. If you learn from the past to improve your present you can have a better future.

A favorite quote of mine is ‘You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. You cannot escape the consequences of your thoughts.’ What you do right now is important! Your future is determined by what you’re thinking about. What you are focused on right now. Want an incredible future? Make your present incredible first.

I learned to do this for myself. I found that by feeling truly grateful for EVERYTHING, everything changed. It made all the difference in the world. I made all the difference by changing what I was focused on. Yes. It meant I learned to appreciate the past for the lessons and let it go. I learned to focus on anything and everything I appreciate in the present. This made a huge difference.

There is so much we can be grateful for. Living in gratitude absolutely will change your attitude for the better. When you’re happy now you will be happy in your future. Right this moment discover what can you find, small and large, to be absolutely thankful for. Focus on it. Accentuate the positive. What you appreciate you’ll attract more of. You get back more of what you put out.

What do you like, love and enjoy about yourself? What about your family, friends and associates? What about your job, your hobbies and your home? Take an inventory of what you appreciate so that you can feel more grateful. You will be surprised the doors that open when you live in gratitude. Appreciation appreciates. Stop. Smell the roses. Enjoy this moment. Savor it. Make all your moments miraculous! Live it fully! Celebrate everything and everything improves. So, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“If you can change your mind, you can change your life.” William James

“I’ll be blunt: I’m very disappointed that these secrets are available. I think buying this material should be treated like buying hand guns: You should have to fill out forms and get checked out first to see if you’ll use this wisdom for good or evil. I’ve NEVER seen such powerful techniques or insights. The average psychologist, cold reader, magician, or mentalist doesn’t know these “beyond secret” methods. You could start a cult with this! Far too powerful to be released publicly. Please take your Ultimate NLP Home Study Program package off the market—especially now that I own it.” –Joe Vitale –  Author, 2000

“I am smiling and my heart is beating a little bit faster now, Rex. We go all the way back to the last century and me finding my way in many ways at that point. You helped me during that point because I learned NLP, and some of the communication material came from you. I was sitting at your feet and learning how to apply it in my life and career.

Freedom can be yours BUT if you do nothing, nothing changes!

You sent me cassettes Rex way back in the 1990s, and these were cassettes on communication and NLP. And we had exchanged some things and we had talked and you were very kind to me and very generous with me. I religiously listened to everything I am always studying, always growing, always working on myself and maybe even more intensely back then. Thank you Rex!Joe Vitale -Author, appeared in ‘The Secret’, 2022
