Creators Do It Differently Than The Herd: How To Be A Creator
“Have you ever been in the presence of a person who just has ‘it’? You know what I mean. A person who walks into a room and their energy draws everyone to them like moths to a flame. Heads turn. People notice and want to move closer. They are something special;
This person is filled with positive, irresistible presence and charisma. It is positive energy. Positive high vibrations. Whatever words you want to use this is how you want to live moment to moment. You want to vibrate high and be filled with positive, powerful energy.
You Are A Light To The World
Think of yourself as a beacon. Are you shining powerfully bright so all can see or are you a dim bulb? Illuminate yourself and you illuminate the world. Creators, those people who live powerfully live differently from the herd. They live as champions and emperors.
You can too! Do what they have learned to do and you will. They know how important it is to be in charge of their thoughts and feelings. They think the best and feel the best most of the time. The know you become what you focus on so they focus on the positive.
Live with positive energy! Feel the best you can moment to moment. Live feeling the best you can. Think the most positive and wonderful thoughts and you will feel the most positive and wonderful feelings. Thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking go hand in hand.
Make Sure Your Light Is Lit
Live with positive energy. Emphasize it. That is what the creators do. Vibrate high! Keep your self talk and inner imagining on positive things. Speak to bless heal and prosper self and others. Your power as a creator is to feel what you want before it is.
Thought precedes results. Thoughts precede action. Thoughts precede reality. If you think it in your head you can some day hold it in your hand. Energy moves from inside to the outside. You call it into action with your thoughts, feelings and words.
Keep your thoughts and images positive. Do the same with your self-talk and the words you do speak out loud. Keep feelings the very best. Creators use their thoughts, words and positive emotional energy to manifests what they want.
Stay Positive In Thoughts And Feelings
This is how you make it happen! Be it before it and you will have it! They fully realize it first in the imagination. They feel what it is like to be it, to do it, to own it before they have any of it. From this then they create it. They take action to bring it into being.
This is how you manifest what you want. Imagine it. Write it down. Speak it as though it is already done. Feel it! Smell it, taste it! Enjoy it as if you already have it before it arrives. It is your story tell it the way you want it to be and it can be that way.
No whining, no excuses, no blames. If you live and think lackluster thoughts your life will be the same. Creators live managing the best they have. They are active in their self awareness and in maintaining their mindset and positive energy.
Go First – Be It – Then Do It To Have It
Successful people have money because they are first successful within. They feel successful. They know they are successful. They expect to have things work out. They expect to make money and attract opportunity.
Money comes to the successful it does not make you successful. Happy people are people who are happy first. It doesn’t matter what they have or what life throws at them. They are happy first. They can enjoy everything because it isn’t things that make people happy.
Yet, countless numbers of people have it backwards. They do, they struggle and work hard to have things so that they can be happy and feel successful. This is directly counter to how it works. You first be, you become it, and then you do, you take action to have things.
Act As If You Already Are What You Want
Pretend what it feels like to be able to do whatever you want whenever you want. Pretend that you can afford anything you desire. Pretend life is good and you feel incredible. Act as if everything is perfect. Enjoy it. Feel it. Answer this question.
If life were perfect and you were who you always wanted to be and doing what you wanted and having everything you wanted how would you feel? If you had everything you always wanted how would you feel? This is the feeling you want to live from most of the time.
Feel wonderful! Feel incredible! Feel delighted! The way you do that is to fill your mind and being with the thoughts that make you feel this way. From this energy you create. From this energy you attract. This is how the creators do it. They live vibrating high!
Feeling Good Is Feeling Good Is Feeling Good
Here is an important tip: The feelings you feel do not have to be directly related to what you want. For example, you want wealth but are not sure how to feel rich. You might imagine and feel freedom. You might feel blessed.
You might appreciate everything you do have without wanting more. You just feel true gratitude. You might feel fun. You might feel joy! You might feel celebration and delight. You might feel fascinated and in awe of nature. You might feel wonder.
Good feelings open the doorway to attract more of the same. When you are feeling wonderful you open yourself up. You might feel peaceful, secure, relaxed, at-ease, confident. Feel good and vibrate high! When you feel good you invite more of the same and better.
You Are Either Positive Or Negative – Choose
Withdraw you energy and attention from less than glorious news, gossip and worries. Focus on the wonderful, the inspiring, the magnificent. Feel yourself as a powerful, positive creator. Feel it now. Not sometime in the future but now. Feel it as already done!
Decide to see what is going right and you will see it! Decided to feel it first and you will have it! Yearning reinforces the absence of what you want and blocks you from getting it. Feeling fulfilled means more can come your way! Being fulfilled means you make it happen.
Feel fulfilled first and you will open the doors to being blessed beyond belief. Stop longing and start feeling what you want already accomplished. Make your life the way you have always wanted it to be. Create it! Attract it by making your energy irresistible!” Rex Sikes

You Must Feel Your Way To Happiness & Success
“Most people have it completely backwards. Do you? They put the cart before the horse. Are you? Most people think if they make enough money or acquire enough things they will feel happy and successful. Is this you as well?
If you think getting it and having it will make you happy you will be disappointed as so many are. It works completely the other way around. Things don’t make us happy. Money doesn’t make us happy. Those who have will tell you. Be happy first! Feel rich first!
Be happy and you will get and have what you want. Be happy first! Be successful first! It isn’t the things that make you happy but being happy makes it possible to get the things you want. The feelings make it possible.
Feel Your Way To Happiness And Success
You feel your way to success! That is the way it works. People think if you do the right things you will feel successful but it is completely the other way around. Feel it first and you will have it. FEEL IT!
This is why I keep emphasizing what the masters have emphasized since ancient times. See it ‘as if’ you already have it. It is done and you have accomplished it. It is right now and you are everything you want to be, do and have. Feel what that feels like! Really feel it!
See and FEEL how incredible it feels to have it right now! Not off in the future sometime. It is not coming to you but it is right now! It is present! NOW is the only time your subconscious mind understands. The present is the only time we actually have.
Feel It Now In The Present Moment
Now, in this present moment you feel successful. Feel happy; feel healthy; feel wealthy; feel yourself in an awesome loving relationship; feel deeply, lovingly connected to your family; feel surrounded by positive, powerful people.
THIS is how you get what you want! Feel it first and you open the doorway. You create and attract all that is necessary because your mind, your feelings, are aligned with your desires and you behave in the most productive and powerful and positive ways.
Good things come to those who are fulfilled! Those who have will have more because they celebrate abundance! They feel incredible. They are not worried about or focused on lack. You don’t get rich by feeling poor. You don’t get freedom feeling restricted.
Feel Good Most Of The Time
Most people don’t have what they want because they are busy feeling the way they do because of present circumstances. They are reacting to what it. They feel less than glorious. You will not be glorious if you spend most of your time feeling less than glorious.
You must see that future you. You must feel that future you right now INSTEAD of your current situation. Your attention and energy must be on what you want rather than on what you do not want. This is where most people mess up.
If you want your life to change you feel how you want to feel first. If you want your life to change you will have to change some things in your life. Change your feelings and the results will follow. If you want positive results you begin with positive feelings.
Your Feelings Are The Key
Think Attractor for a moment just as a concept. A magnet attracts that which is like it. It doesn’t attract those elements or things that are not like it. The same principle applies to you and me. Become it in your mind and body first and you shall have it in reality.
A Creator can’t create anything unless the creator first knows what to create. The idea has to be there. The same is true about getting what you want. You must know what it is. BUT you can’t put it off. You must image it as existing now. See it and feel it now!
The story is told about Walt Disney. He had created DisneyLand and had a dream to create DisneyWorld. He fell ill and died prior to its opening. More than one person said to his brother Roy, ‘it’s so sad Walt didn’t see this.’
Roy responded, ‘Are you kidding? It is because Walt SAW this that we have DisneyWorld!’ His vision, his passion, his desire and enthusiasm paved the way for DisneyWorld. He lived his dream and it became reality. You don’t doubt what you already have!
See It – Feel It – Speak It – And It Shall Be
It is so simple! It is not always easy but it is simple. Feel good most of the time and you will get what you want. You get what you focus on. Get in charge of your thoughts and feelings. Your thoughts and feelings make it happen. This is your attitude and mindset!
Take control of your life! This is fully within your power. It may not seem like it because you haven’t exercised it much. This is what you and I and others ARE able to control and to do! Start small, in small way,s and if you persist you will end up with large, positive results!
Being comes before doing or having. Affirm what you want as though it already exists for you. BUT it is not merely the words. IT is the feeling you put into the words that makes it happen. FEEL IT! See it, speak it, feel it, live it and you shall have it!” Rex Sikes

Do This Simple Thing To Maximize Your Happiness & Success!
“You know it is okay to do nothing at times, don’t you? Some people feel as if they must always be doing. They always must effort and work on themselves. This is not ideal. Don’t over do it doesn’t help anything.
Ocean waves come in and go out. Night becomes day. Winter becomes spring. Hot drinks and food cool down. This becomes that. There are cycles. There is a time to plant and a time to reap. In between there is a time to wait.
Relax
Settle for a little bit. Take a short break. Relax, let your unconscious process all your learning. Relax and assimilate the positive changes you are making. Just as your unconscious mind takes time to digest the food you eat it takes time to processes your learning. Let it.
It is important to relax. Day gives way to night. Cold becomes hot. There is ebb and flow. You do not want to be pushing all the time. It is important to take time for yourself. Smell the roses. Hang out with friends. Do nothing. Be a couch potato for the day. Allow, accept.
Let Go
Be easy, kind and gentle on yourself. Let go. Unwind. Refresh and recharge. Take a peaceful walk. Enjoy a delightful savory slow meal. Meditate or take a nap. Sit in nature. Languish at the beach near a large body of water. Lounge in a hammock. Read a book that relaxes.
Listen to soothing music. Enjoy a sunrise or a sunset. Walk barefoot, sit on grass or lie back. Connect with nature. Watch the clouds flow by. Listen to the rain. Tune in to silence. Paint, work with clay. Do some yoga or have some body work done. Make some me time.
Refresh And Enjoy
A good massage would be wonderful. A sauna is awesome. Drink lots of water. Hydrate. Move gracefully, skip, hop or dance. Whatever you do let go, relax. Make replenishing yourself delightful and easy. Sit by a stream or river and watch the ripples go by. Do nothing.
Yes, it could be a weekend. You also want to learn to make magical moments during the week. After work, before work, even while at work when you are easily able to. Let everything flow and be one with it all. This is a good thing to do for yourself.” Rex Sikes
Take it lightly today!

Use This Key To Unlock The Door To Your Dreams & Desires
“What does believing mean? What does it mean to have faith? Why is this important when it comes to making your dreams come true? How does it apply to your career goals, being the person you want to be or having what you want to get in life?
In previous blog posts I’ve pointed out the necessity of maintaining a positive mindset and the importance of ‘Believe It And You Will See it’. This concept is how everything works but it is not the typical way most people think.
Most People Think When I See It Then I Will Believe It
This latter attitude keeps people in the dark because they focus on present circumstances. Their mindset works this way. Only once they are convinced it can be otherwise, then AND only then, will they believe it can be otherwise. It is the reason things don’t work.
Instead of being focused on what they want and believing they can make it happen they are focused on what they don’t want waiting to be convinced somehow it will be different. So they remain the same. They get what they focus on. They get what they don’t want.
To be, do or have what you want you must focus on what you want to the exclusion of all else. You can not let yourself be distracted from what it is you want to make happen. You are the creator of it so create it. Believe you can do it and you will. Stay properly focused.
You Must Believe It First And Then You Will See It
Listen to stories of those people who reached the top in entertainment, in finance, in sports, whatever endeavor in life and you repeatedly hear stories that they KNEW they were destined to become a top player regardless of the obstacles.
They KNEW IT within them. They never lost faith. Even when it appeared hopeless the kept going! They worked in spite of the odds until they made it. This is how we need to believe. We need to EXPECT that it will happen. We need to KNOW we can accomplish it.
You can not wish or hope. You can not be half assed. You must be convinced that you will fulfill your greatest desire and you must passionately pursue it. You must persist in the pursuit until you have what you want. There is not alternative. You just do it!
You Must Ask Believing
Sure, you can hope, you can pray, you can think it is all about luck. That will not get you closer. Jesus said, ‘When you ask BELIEVE you will receive…’ so we can’t do less than that, can we? This is an important key concept. Believe it and you will see it!
We need to stop begging, whining and pleading. We need to command it into being. We need to declare what we want. We need to believe we will make it happen. We need to expect to get it. Just as you do when you place an order in a restaurant.
Consider this analogy. You go into a restaurant. Hopefully, you are polite and I mean this. Waitstaff comes and says something similar to, ‘May I take your order?. You tell the person what you want they take it back to the cook. You wait after having placed YOUR order.
You Don’t Have To Muster Up Faith To Order Breakfast
You expect it to be delivered how you want it a little while later. You don’t sit there hoping and wishing and whining and complaining or fretting or worried or convinced it will never happen. You expect it to come the way you ordered it and you expect to get what you want.
With regard to the cook preparing it and it being delivered there are those who would liken that to the universe giving you what you want once you order is in. That is fine. I am not going there with this analogy at this time. I am only right now only addressing the ordering process and your faith in yourself.
While the waitstaff is gone you behave normally and concern yourself with reading or conversing or whatever you do. You occupy yourself because you know your food is coming. After all your order is in. After a while, it is served. You got what you ordered. You got what you wanted.
Know What You Want To Order
If you didn’t know what you wanted neither would anyone else. So the first important piece was to know what you want. When it comes to your dreams you need to know what you want and want it more than anything else.
You place your order. You declare what you will make happen.You stay focused on what you want to the exclusion of any evidence that tells you otherwise. You don’t let present circumstances distract you and you do not compare the wait time.
You don’t think, ‘I placed my order how long is this going to take’. Doing that keeps you focused on not having it yet. It keeps your attention on what you do not want. You have to have your focus on what you want. Your mind set needs to be right. You must believe.
Expect It – Know It
You do not wish or hope. You KNOW! You state it. You order it. You declare it! You command it! You demand it! You don’t dream it, you don’t pray or beg you ACCEPT it.
You Announce it. In fact, you don’t believe something is going to happen. Don’t put it off on someday in the future. You believe it has already happened! This is how you use your mind to create what you want. You see it as if it all already exists. It begins as an idea!
In your mind’s eye, visualize already having what you want. Imagine it fully as vividly as you are able. Full color, 3D, full sound with total feeling. Live it as though you have everything you want. FEEL IT. BASK in how good it feels. Imagine living in the house you will live in.
Stay Focused
Imagine working in the career you want successfully. Imagine a loving relationship. Imagine all your bills paid and enough money to do whatever you want when you want to. See people congratulating you and discussing your success.
Hear it! Hear people congratulate you. Hear what they say and what you say in return. Feel their handshakes and embraces. Feel how good it feels. Live the life you want to be living. It is the feelings combined with the images that place your order with your subconscious. Feel it fully.
Keep all your self-talk positive. Speak only to bless heal and prosper. Don’t speak about what you don’t want. Affirm what you want. Stay true to your pursuit. Stay focused, stay positive and powerful. Do not give your power away. Keep it an use it.
Once you put your order in with the waitstaff you don’t have to believe it will happen you KNOW it will happen. Treat life the same way. Expect good things. See them. Plan them in your mind’s eye.
Carry out the future in the present. Do not make it a when make it NOW! Make the future your current reality on the inside. What you focus on you get. What you think you become. Keep the faith!
Now Is The Only Time There Is
Live with an attitude of gratitude. Celebrate everything right now! Be focused on abundance not lack. Know you are making your dreams come true. The seeds are planted. The order is taken. Live as though you know it is yours. It is yours!
Own it! Declare it! Stop being a beggar. Stop fretting, hoping and worrying. Live as an emperor. YOU will make your dreams come true. Mind set is the very first and most important step to take.
Set aside time each day to imagine your life as you want it to be. Feel the very best you can as much as you can each day. Make feeling good and thinking positive a daily habit and your will be amazed at all the good things you starting creating and attracting.
Live positively! Live with passion. Live with enthusiasm! Feel the best you can moment to moment because it makes it all happen faster when you do. Be happy and enjoy all there is. Just like the others who knew they would succeed no matter what you can too! Do it!” Rex Sikes
Claim your victory today!

What Do I Do If I Think A Negative Thought?
“People have asked me, ‘What about negative thoughts? What should I do if I think a negative thought?
This is a normal question for people in the process of learning to deliberately take charge their mind.
After all, it is bound to happen. We are human. There is nothing to fear and there is somethings you can do.
Whenever you have a negative thought or feeling counter it immediately with a positive thought.
Don’t accept the negative. Make a positive statement. Make a positive picture. Turn your back on it!
Turn your back on the negative and turn toward the positive. Do not entertain or get caught up supporting or encouraging that which brings you down.
Turn from it. Put your focus, your emphasis, your concentration on the positive. Deliberately switch!
The trick to being happier and healthier overall in life is learning to pay attention to what is worthwhile.
Let go or give up that which does not add or contribute to you positively.
Learn to transform those moments. It will make your life more incredible moment to moment.
Eventually you will make it a habit and you will automatically look to the positive.
You will learn a few important things by doing this: You will become aware of when you are not thinking positively.
You will develop the power to switch it.
You will make it an automatic reliable habit. You will gain control of your thinking process.
You will begin to make what you want happen in your life.
Become aware of the signal! That is really all the negative thought or feeling actually is.
It is a signal that you are thinking about what you don’t want or don’t have.
It is a signal that you are focused on a less than productive pathway. The signal provides you the opportunity to change it.
Appreciate the signal. It may be negative but be glad it got your attention.
You want to become aware of the instant your thinking turns less than positive.
The signal occurs so you can prevent yourself from getting caught up in negative feelings or spiraling down and out in negative thinking.
The earlier you become aware of the signal the faster and easier it is to change what you are doing.
Take it as a message to turn your attention to the positive. Change your thinking and you change your life.
Transform the moment from less than glorious into something a little better or a lot better. Build your ability to notice more of the good things.
Notice the fine things, the best things, the best thoughts, feelings and pictures, the best behvaiors and the moments.
When you fill up your life with things you enjoy and appreciate you feel better over all and life is much more wonderful.
Too many are distracted by less than glorious past memories or present circumstances.
They spend time wallowing in less than glorious minutes and wonder why they don’t feel better. Energy flows where your attention goes.
If you are negative or feel negative and you put your attention on it you increase it and encourage it. You get more of what you do not want.
If you put your attention on what you want your attention to it supports and ecourages the good feelings and you get more of this.
You get more of what you DO want!
Happiness is a choice each moment. Whenever you notice yourself thinking or feeling less than gloriously stop. Just completely stop.
Take deep breath. Think ‘cancel’ the negative thought and think, pitcure and make a positive statement immediately.
Steer yourself right back into the positive thoughts and feelings. Do it deliberately.
Do it immediately when you become aware of the negative thought.
Whenever you make a negative statement. Whenever you hear one come out of your mouth Stop!
Do the same thing. Turn it into a positive one!
Do what you want to have more of and less of what you don’t want. It is simple enough.
Either you are postive or negative. Choose the positive and life will be better.
Don’t whine, complain, blame or act like a victim and say that you can’t do this or that it is too difficult.
That itself is a negative thought you must immediately change!
Change your thoughts and change your life. You can do this! Decide that you can and that you will.
When you will you will have won. The victory comes to those who attempt to win.
Defeat is assured for those who refuse to play the game. You are already in the game so decide how you will play it.
Decide to make your life better and you will.
If you want something the first place you get it is in your mind. Where you spend most of your time is what your life reflects.
You become what you think about. Make your mind your servant instead of being its servant and you will be so happy you did.” Rex Sikes
Celebrate each moment today!

Stop Making A Mess Of Things! How To Start Making What You Want!
“Do you know who you are and what you are capable of? Do you realize how powerful you are? I bet you don’t. I bet you are far more powerful than you ever give yourself credit for. Isn’t it about time you change that?
A useful mindset to adopt is that we are all creators. You are a creator. A powerful creator. You can do one thing and that is create.
You could think we are all attractors. You are an attractor. A powerful attractor. You do one thing and that is attract.
Magnetic Attractor And Creator
You are responsible for everything that you have in life, good or bad, and you always have been. Nothing has ever happened in your life that you didn’t attract or create.
For some this might be a scary thought. For me it is liberating. It means I have one hundred per cent responsibility for everything in my life.
It doesn’t mean I need to feel bad and get down on myself because I have created some real messes in my life. Neither should you.
Responsibility Is Liberating
It means that all our lives we have been attracting and creating things we intended to and things we didn’t intend to.
We were haphazard in getting what we wanted. Sometimes we got good stuff and sometimes we got bad stuff.
With the realization that we can only attract or create and that we are 100% responsible comes the new freedom to decide only to create what we want.
That is why I am not going to was time criticizing myself or blaming or whining. I am going to make the most of it and determine what do I want to create?
Focus On What You Want
What kind of life do I want? What kind of person do I want to be? Who do I want to include in my life?
How much love can I enjoy? I am going to focus on the good things. I am only going to focus on good things.
I am going to focus on a successful career and how much money I want. What kind of things do I want to do? With whom and where? How much fun can I stand?
As creators and attractors we get what we think about most. In the past we brought about good stuff but also brought about worry, fear, sadness, anger, division and lack.
Time to end that don’t you think?
Create what you want. Dream big! You get what you focus on. So focus on the positive, the best, the ‘I can do it’ and the ‘I can have it.’ Make your dreams come true in positive big ways.
Create What You Intend To Create
Create love, wealth, health and good times. Be the change you want to see in the world. Have the life and future you want. Remember we become what we think about.
In the past we created a lot we did not want. NOW that we know we are responsible decide to only create the good stuff from here on out.
You see how liberating this is.
You have the choice. You can choose what you want. You can focus your thoughts. Whenever something less than glorious comes up turn to the positive.
Focus on what you want and let go of what you do not want.
You Have Choice – Stay Positive
Stay positive. This is your power. You can choose. Maybe you didn’t choose well in the past but now you can. Make it a point to only bring about what you intend to. Think Positive!
Create the person you want to be. Create the life you want to have. Fill it with all the good and wonderful thoughts, feelings, people and things you can.
Celebrate everything. Be grateful and glad that you can choose. Now choose wisely. Make good things happen!” Rex Sikes
Enjoy many marvelous moments today!

Statistics tell us that 95% of what we learn in college is forgotten within 6 months of graduation! Only 5% is all that is retained of what you spent more than 4 years studying. 95% is forgotten.
How much did you spend on college… for that piece of paper? And if you went to a prestigious university it means you still forgot 95%, but you spent more money to do it.
Learn As A Child Learns Naturally NOT The Way They Educate In Schools
The most pitiful thing is when people think there is nothing new to learn. There is always something new! Every day is a rare and unprecedented opportunity to learn and to have fun. The key to learning anything really well is to do it the same way as when you were a small child.
You learned a thousand times faster back then – and it was a blast! If you are willing to play, to adventure, to explore like a child does – you can add to your learning in ways that might seem miraculous.
Children learn an incredible amount because they are open and unbiased. A child can play with a stick in total delight and all the while the child is learning – learning to move and to coordinate himself.
He can watch the same movie over and over and still shudder with delight, still shiver with fear, and laugh with abandon – even though he knows what is coming.
Children are learning machines until they are trained to behave like young adults and are confined to desks and told to act appropriately. While adults look for the pay-off, kids simply learn for the sheer pleasure it brings them.
As adults we need to recapture the sense of joy and adventure we had as children, to rekindle a sense of growing and contributing.
When I teach my programs I get everyone from pig farmers to top CEO’s and all types of other occupations because if it’s not about putting a bigger smile on your own face and if it isn’t about putting a bigger smile on the face of people around you, if it isn’t about having a better experience or a more vibrant experience, if it isn’t about enlivening yourself… than what is it for?
One idea can change the entire world. We need a better class of thinkers and innovators – juicier people with explosive curiosity and creativity. Fun loving people who can change the world. Seriousness is truly a disease.
We need giggles and shudders and risk takers. As Oliver Wendall Holmes said “A mind stretched to a new idea can never go back to its original dimension.” Love learning – learn for no reason at all except the sheer joy of it. Love seeking.
When I train, I present something I call the Mastery Loop™. Here it is.
Approach
What happens is that people first approach information. This is what I call the enlightenment stage. This is not the eastern concept of enlightenment and meditation, but this is where you are enlightened to a new idea. This is about approaching material and information.
People come to me and it’s new to them; people come to accounting it’s new to them – whatever it is… in school or the real world… you approach something for the first time. Something you didn’t know.
Bewilderment
After the approach, comes the bewilderment stage. You get a little bit of it and it becomes confusing. That’s because the “7-plus-or minus-two” conscious rational part of your brain is trying to understand the information, but it hasn’t yet assembled it in a way that is useful for you.
It’s trying to grasp it and make sense of it before it is ready to be put in order. However, if you stick with it, stay with it, and you are really learning the material, then shortly thereafter it will become clear.
What happens in college and formal schooling is that right before or right after it becomes clear, they give you a test. And if it hasn’t yet become clear, then you fail or get a low mark.
If you are poor at the mechanics of taking an exam, you can get a low mark that means you didn’t learn the material according to that institution.
Clear
God forbid you should be good at the mechanics of taking an exam because that means that you pass without having an understanding of the material at all. Lots of us got through school that way, didn’t we?
Then you go onto a new subject! “OK that’s done – NEXT.” That’s when you begin to get more of what I call “just information”, without behavioral competence.
When you do one of my programs what I do is skip the clear stage and go right to what I call the “mining for gold” or the drill stage. That means you approach the information, get bewildered and begin to practice or drill what it is you are learning.
You will actually get hands on practice so that it assists you in becoming more clear about what it is you are learning.
Drill
You do exercises to actually wire in the behaviors you are learning, you get to look at eye accessing cues and practice language patterns, and do anchoring with the others in the room so that you have the experience of doing it.
What is valuable about this is that you do the exercises during the workshop time.
After you have drilled and practiced thoroughly, then you enact the material. I have a saying that the workshop begins when the breaks begin. That is your golden opportunity to remember to use what you have been absorbing during class practice time.
When you enact the material, you use it in your daily life, refine it, and use it during real life situations.
Enact
When you take these skills into your daily life, then they begin to fuse – they become a part of your everyday behavior; you integrate them. This is where it becomes habitual.
You develop “unconscious competence” (like riding a bike) and have them as part of your behavioral repertoire for the rest of your life.
This is where it become so much a part of your behavior that you find yourself using the skills without always having to think about it. This is when you have truly integrated it.
Fuse
As it fuses, it becomes a part of your everyday life. This is at the point where you will become creative with the material. This is where you will use it in ways that you or I could never imagine.
It is at this point you begin to discover your personal genius with the material.
You will find applications for it, design new things and make your life really a party. This is when you look at a problem, and instead of going “this is going to be a difficult problem”, you go “this is going to be a real piece of cake”.
Genius
The appropriate behavior is insatiable curiosity. To continue to learn, grow and evolve… not stop at quick fix techniques… but to evolve and become more compassionate and joyful and wondrous.
In other words, to make life a celebration and not just put a Band-Aid on an oweee. Remember exploration is the doorway to adventure!
What I am asking you – and this is a request – is how much fun can you have, how much curiosity can you have, how much wanton desire and passion can you bring to having a good time?
Because if you can do it here and now, regardless of challenges thrown your way, you can do it anywhere.
Exercises For Making Learning Fun And Having Novel Experiences
Take a walk somewhere you always go except this time walk as though it is totally new. Pretend you are an anthropologist doing an ethnographic study, making it elusive and bewildering.
See what you notice that you didn’t before.
Ask yourself questions you might never ask about obvious things. Then just be silent while you walk and look without internal dialogue.
Slow down your gait or speed it up to notice what you have missed before. Smell the smells you may not have noticed.
Do the same thing with driving home or riding a bus. See if you can open your powers of observation to take in more than you ever realized was there before. Venture into new realms. Take a different route to work.
Open Your Powers Of Observation
Do something now, do anything now that’s different. It may seem uncomfortable at first, but realize you are interrupting patterns and causing your mind to be stretched in delightful ways.
Go back and enjoy a children’s book you once read. Go back and review.
Listen to the same CD over and over – only each time pay attention to a different instrument – how do they intermingle, compliment each other, support each other, what are they accomplishing together?
Try tasting your food in new ways. Tiny bits, savor each morsel, really chew it thirty-two times. Discover how you can delight your senses.
Pay Attention To Your Senses
Take a luxurious bath, uses different scents, candles. Anything that enlivens you and makes you feel better.
Read a novel you normally wouldn’t read. Get a biography of someone you never felt interested in. Talk to someone repulsive and take their point of view temporarily.
Step inside them and see if you can imagine how it would be that they would hold views contrary to your own. You don’t have to keep them! Just try them on to get a different perspective from your own.
Try Things You Have Never Done Before
Do something you would absolutely never do (keep it legal and safe!). Go beyond your own limits. Push yourself, but do so with a sense of adventure, joy, fun, harmony, health and well being.
Watch the same movie a dozen times. Each time approach it fresh and new. You will learn something. When I was younger in California working in the motion picture business, I would go to the same movie 4,5, 10 times.
First, I would just watch it. If I got hooked into it emotionally, I considered it a good picture. Then I would go back and watch for the way the director constructed it all.
Then I would see it again to concentrate only on the writing, then the acting, then the cinematography and production values. Each time, I came away with something I hadn’t noticed before.
With new intent, I noticed new things. By asking myself different questions, or causing my mind to look in a new direction I noticed more and more nuances than I could have ever imagined.
Repetition Is The Way You Learn And Create Habits
Think about it – two people go to the same movie and one loves it another hates it. Are they really talking about the movie? No. They are sharing with you what they paid attention to.
They are letting you know how their mind works.
No movie is universally good or bad, there are things about it one likes while another may not. Of course the more sophisticated knowledge someone has about what they are discussing, or the more nuances, perhaps the better to make assessment, but it is still only an opinion.
This is why recapturing the joy of learning, reading, listening to tapes, attending seminars, going for walks, playing with children, is so vital because it enriches an individual and enables one to pay attention to nuances.
Immerse yourself. If you learn just one new concept or idea – it can be monumental. You can become more creative… you can begin to open doors that you didn’t even know existed.
Capture The Joy Of Learning As A Child Does
Discover if – by trying some of these things – you can’t enliven yourself to all the opportunities around you you could be missing out on. Find out if you can do better in business.
Make change more dynamic for yourself and clients. Spice up your relationships with more passion and ecstasy, have more intimate times with your children.
Fun-loving, exciting people can change the world. With so much in the news that could discourage us, we need to become beacons, lights that glow in the night that show the rest of the world that we can be more alive, more in love, have greater well being and riches, use our brain power more efficiently and most importantly – live joyously.
Perhaps if we were all just a little more joyous even in the face of adversity, we will make the world a better more wondrous place.
Because the truth is, the world is already a wondrous place. The sad part is that too many people miss it. Recapture the awe struck wonder of a child in whatever you do. Bring this spirit to all of your learning and all of your endeavors and you will soar as never before.
You will reach untold heights when you break old patterns and habits that have prevented you from being open to new experience.
Every Moment Is New Every Moment Is An Opportunity
Too often we have belittled a learning or an experience with ‘Well that’s just X’ or we say ‘There is nothing new in that.’ Yet every moment is new, even an old hand me down cloth is new to someone.
Often times rare and priceless antiques were discovered by people who knew what to look for when others had considered it only junk.
Sometimes subtly and layers hides the core of its value and only to the eye of a trained observer will one begin to notice what is really going on, or what the real value is. To the child, it doesn’t matter. It is all wonderful even if it seems old to us.
My nephew Michael, when he was three, had completed watching Beauty and the Beast once a day, sometimes twice, since it came out on video. That was somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 – 70 times! He would watch it and delight every time he did.
Love Exploring Love Adventuring Love Seeking New Ways To Enjoy
Go out and live life and expect to have fun, expect to learn, and find out what you discover. Find out how you can have a ton of fun. See if you can put the pedal to the metal and really play.
Learn, incorporate and integrate the skills that you already have.
A very wise person once said, “you can light a million candles off just one”… but your candle has to be lit first. If you light up, if we light up all of our candles while we’re together here, then we can spread a conspiracy of ecstasy.
Commit to learning. It will keep you younger and healthier. Commit to learning. Learn to be happy. Learn to be positive. Learn to direct your mind. Learn to take control.
Life becomes so much more wonderful when you commit to learning how to use your mind to make your dreams come true.” Rex Sikes
Enjoy today in new ways!

Who Are You And How Do You Fit In? Do You Have A Clue?
“Sometimes I playfully imagine. Do you? Sometimes, I think about how we got here or whether we are all interconnected? Sometimes I look at the past and am amazed we survived it. Other times I look into the future and wonder if we will survive that. I like wondering because while I don’t know the actual answer, I can always make one up.
I enjoy puzzles and trying to understand the concept of oneness. Some quantum theorists suggest all life is one life. We are merely different expressions of this one. There is no division in reality. We perceive that there are differences because of our mental filters.
The Illusion Separates And Divides
We think we are separate. We think we are different. So we act that way. Yet, everything in the universe is made from the same material. It really is all the same stuff! That blows me away at times. Some of the concepts about our universe really blow me away.
Did you know that there is as much space in the elements of an atom as their is in our entire outer space. This notion alone freaks me out. Plus, the elements of an atom aren’t elements at all but wavicles, or vibrations or possibilities. The larger stuff in our world is all vibrations appearing solid. WOW, plenty of things to wonder about.
Everything is made from the same material from the beginning of time. Whenever, wherever, whatever that was or is. We don’t know we just theorize and point to an event we named the Big Bang.
We Are All Made From The Same Star Dust
The body is made up of trillions of cells. Brain cells, skin cells, bone cells, heart cells, tissue cells, you name it lots of different specialized cells. They each perform separate tasks. Each individual cell is separate from the others.
Each individual heart cell for example is different from every other individual heart cell BUT it is a heart cell; and it is different from brain and stomach and lung and eye cells.
Imagine all these trillions of unique individual cells. Some belong to one group some in another group. Bone cells and skin cells are very different. Yet, through all of it runs DNA. The very same DNA in each cell.
So trillions of cells, multiple different groups that look different and act different all share the same DNA. They too are made from the same stuff. Still, the look different and act different but they are part of the very same thing material.
There Are Different Bees In The Hive – But They Are Still All Bees
It’s kind of like people. There are different unique individuals who belong to different groups. Black, White, Yellow, Brown, Red. Each group has a set of distinguishing characteristics which makes each individual identifiable to the group or class. Yet each individual is unique while within the group.
Back to cells of the body. There are all these groups of cells that comprise the human body. Each with their group functions. Each carrying out its individual tasks. These cells live and die. Even though they are individual and unique, and there are different groups and kinds of cells they are ALL human cells.
They are all one in the same thing. And they are different things all in the same one. The illusion is that they are separate but they function together. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts and the sum of the parts comprise the whole too.
Take a skin cell off the finger it is as human as a cell from the eye, the intestine, or the knee cap. It all shares the same DNA. It is all made from the same material. Yet, uniquely different as each person has DNA unique to that person. Countless variations of sameness.
There Is Only One Material In The Universe
All these trillions of unique individual cells comprising different groups of cells all exist within one body. The flesh, the bones, the organs. One human is made up of all these cells. These cells are made up of atoms and molecules.
All humans come from the same stardust. We are all on this planet. We all live together on the same spherical organism. So who are you? What do you want? How do you fit in with the rest of everything? Is it you against the world or are you part of something greater?
Your mind set determines so much about your happiness and success? Your attitude determines whether you live for your self or for others. Do you realize your amazing power and opportunity, yet? What illusions do you live from and are they serving you to have a better life and get along better with others?
We are all one. We just think we aren’t. We have intelligence. Scientists think our cells are intelligent, as well. There is a unified field, a consciousness that permeates everything in the human. Current thinking is we have more than one brain. One in the head and the other in the gut. Other’s say the heart also.
Scientists think there is a unified field in all the universe. Some think we are all connected as a forest of individual appearing trees is connected though a root system. Somehow information is available all at one time and everywhere.
What Else Could There Be
Do you realize that everything that is needed to build a rocket ship on planet earth has been here on earth since the dawn of time. We have added nothing. We just didn’t know how to make use of it until more recently BUT IT was ALL HERE!!!
Here is what I know. I don’t know much of anything. That is true. I don’t. But it seems to me that the body dies when the cells fall out of sync. When they stop co-operating and begin growing or multiplying on their own out of harmony with the rest. People do the same thing.
Thinking they are separate instead of working in harmony, together for the greater good of all, they compete and fight and wage war for resources. The argue and kill over mental constructs, ideas and philosophies, religions.
Instead, we should recognize we are all one species living in an enclosed globe. That globe from another vantage point given the size and scope of our KNOWN universe might as well be the cell on the back of a flee on a dog for all we know. We could be living on the thumbnail of a different species.
We Live In A Snow Globe Sort Of
All we can tell is we live in some incomprehensible vast array of space. We live and are energy vibrating at different rates. We think things are solid and behave in certain ways according to certain laws. We have different religious and philosophic and scientific answers but we truly don’t know much of anything. Really.
We are a part of a vast incredible oneness maintaining the illusion of separateness for political and economic reasons. We divided the world to control portions of land and populations. We divide the people to be able to categorize and control. We act so important and want to rule everything; people, animals, plants, space.
We blindly give allegiance to the land we were born in whether the power mongers of that land rule benevolently or not. People who say ‘no I won’t follow blindly along’ are curtailed, punished, ostracized, and killed to keep the illusion going.
We Are All The Same Originating From The Same Source
There does appear to be a secret some are hiding from others but I’m not sure they know what that secret actually is. Someone, somewhere just doesn’t want you to find it out. I think the biggest open secret out there is that we are all from the same source.
Whatever you prefer to call it we are one with it. We are different, unique aspects of the same thing. We are all one. We are the source. Instead of not noticing this we should be celebrating this. We should embrace this.
Reduced to its simples form we are living organisms living on a rock hurtling through space. Everything within this rocks atmosphere is made from the same material and it is all we got. We are self contained on this ball.
There is nothing else but what there is. Instead of being happy about this we fight about it, fight over it, divide it and ruin it to the best of our abilities.
They, whomever ‘they’ are. The powers that be don’t want you loving and peaceful because when you are they can not control you. Gandhi proved you didn’t have to wage war to win. They want you arguing, fighting, distracted and at each other’s throats so these killer cells can dominate.
If You Are Distracted And Arguing You Will Never Unite
I don’t know how you fix that other than refusing to participate. What you resist persists so fighting it is not the way. That only produces more of what we don’t want. This is evidenced that our ‘War On’ programs have never solved the issues they were designated too. Neither have any of our actual wars.
Rather it is best to let go and focus on instead on peace, love and oneness. It is better to find likeminded, open, tolerant, loving people who think together and meditate together for the world to become a simpler, nicer place. Lennon said, ‘Give peace a chance.’ Perhaps, we ought to try it as we never truly ever have.
Two minds become as one. When two are gathered.Two hearts become as one. There IS power and influence in numbers. If they can keep the masses in discord they can rule the world. However, if the masses said ‘nope, I am not going to fall for that’, and refused to play that game, maybe they wouldn’t stand a chance of ruling.
The masses would be peaceful and loving and it would radiate and extend outward. The world would be engulfed in positivity. Some say impossible and for them it is. Yet, the game continues. You have to be able to see it to know it exists. You may not be able to find the door in a dark room, especially if you didn’t know there was a door.
Awareness Means Waking Up
But once you wake up to that idea you can search in a more meaningful way. Once you find it you will know that it was always there. It was always the way out you just couldn’t see it. You didn’t know it. Change comes by becoming aware that we need to change.
Sometimes, in order for the human to recognize that, we have to get to a really bad place. Some people just don’t wake up until it is bad enough. That is part of our conditioning. It was like that for me but I did discover another way. I’d like to believe anyone else can too.
More positive change will come because of bliss than because of declaring war on problem campaigns. More positive change will come from being focused on positive changes and not by on focusing on the problems. Yes, you acknowledge the problems are there but once you do you turn your attention toward finding solutions.
You don’t become rich focused on being poor. You don’t become happy thinking depressing thoughts. You don’t solve your problems by thinking about your problems. You solve them by considering solutions. You don’t unite by thinking about being separate. You don’t behave lovingly if you are scared of your neighbor.
Whenever Two Are Gathered Their Is More Potential
When you drive your car you check your rear view but you don’t keep your gaze there. You can’t focus on the past and move forward. You check your instrument panel but you don’t lock onto it. The panel alerts you if there are issues but you can’t stay focused on potential problems and move forward.
You pay attention to where you are going and where you want to end up. You have to look at and navigate the road ahead and drive the route to your intended location. You get there because you know where you want to go. You focus on what you want.
It would be nice to think that enough people would determine a positive course for our planet and focus on that. It would be wonderful if people came together with a positive, peaceful, loving mindset.
One that would bathe this planet in amazing energy and turn us from our darker hours, from our destructive practices, and lead us into an incredible future of loving kindness for all.
Know What Good You Want – Focus On That – Create It
Utopia isn’t necessary and that is not what I am thinking. I am thinking of a world where people are kinder and gentler because they understand WE are all in it together. We are one species on one planet and we have to care for it all. We have to nurture and nourish each other. We have to tend the garden to keep it growing.
Certainly, it won’t if we fight over land, food, water and ideas. We have to reach for something higher than the base survival instincts. Keep in mind a house divided will never stand. If THEY can keep everyone arguing and divided over petty issues they will have won. The will continue to rule by chaos and confusion.
If there is no ‘they’ then it is our own delusion. We will never be united as long as we think of separation. Each one of us has a choice for how we live alone and with each other. What we do today impacts tomorrow. We can not NOT have an effect.
There are always consequences. For every cause there is an equal and opposite effect. We will determine ours and our children’s destiny by what we think and do today. That is for certain! We create our future by what we think and do in our present.
It All Begins With Thought And What We Think Is Possible
Maybe what I have said has some truth in it. Perhaps, it is all utter nonsense. But what if we pretended it was real. If we focused on being one, if we focused on love and peace and happiness. If we focused on life maybe, just maybe, we would find ourselves getting along more and enjoying more of the experience on the planet.
Maybe we’d be nicer and help each other because we’d realize we are all in it together. We’d come to know that together we ARE creating our experience. Maybe, all this, ‘philosophy -science -quantum stuff is nonsense. Maybe it is all an illusion and a delusion.
So what? Let’s pick the delusion and illusion that makes everything better. Once we realize that we have a choice in all of this maybe we would create something really wonderful. What would you like to do?
Maybe, we don’t have to be concerned with the overall future of anything other than to make it a nicer world for everyone in it on a daily basis. Maybe all we need to do is be more accepting, loving, compassionate, kinder, more fun loving and peaceful.
If It Is To Be It Is Up To Me
Maybe we can look at each other in ways that unite us and bring us together instead of dividing us. Maybe we should give peace and life a chance. And that brings us back to you and me. Where do we fit in? What can be done? What can you do to make your life and the lives of others so much better? How can you live and think moment to moment that creates a positive impact ?
If it isn’t up to you and me who is it up to? If we leave it to ‘them’ or ‘they’ what kind of future do you expect we will have. Nope, it is you and me. We are the ones who determine the course. We determine our course.
Let’s practice a little more benevolence and make it our future and our world (the only future and world we have) a better place starting right now in the present. Now is the only time we have and here is the only place we will ever be. We can make everything more wonderful when we make that part of our mission. I may be wrong but I can dream too.” Rex Sikes
Be adventurous today and enjoy.

Most People Have It Backwards, Do You? Stop Struggling – Start Succeeding!
“If you are like most people you’d like to make positive changes in your career or in your life but you’re just not sure how to get started. Sadly, most people have it backwards. They put the cart before the horse. They effort, struggle and work their butts off yet still don’t make much progress. They are unable to move forward and they just are not happy.
They may be in debt and can’t seem to ever have enough money. They find themselves in relationships that are not fulfilling. They are overworked and stressed out. Whatever their issues are they stem from a typical mindset or paradigm.
Most of us were brought up believing this is the way it is. It is our paradigm. It is the only way we know. It is the Have, Do, Be mindset. If you are like most people, perhaps, you are struggling or frustrated with where you are in life. Maybe, you want something better but aren’t sure how to begin getting it.
Have, Do, Be Mindset
The majority of people believe that they must first have or acquire the things they want in order to be happy. They are taught that if they want good things, a car, a home, lots of money, the right lover, they need to work hard to get them.
Once they have them they will be able to do whatever they want which will allow them to be the way they want. Then they will be happy. So they work their butts off trying to get enough money, or the right house, or the right partner.
This mindset is the very cause of their problems. It delays happiness and puts it off. It brings about more of the struggle and hard times. It reinforces the current circumstances. For example, people think if they only have enough money it will allow them to do the things that will make them be happy.
The mindset they are living from is that they won’t be happy until they have something first. They are focused on lack. They are focused on not having what they want. What you focus on is what you get. So they remain unhappy and unfulfilled. They actually push happiness and success off and away from themselves.
For some reason others seem to be able to accomplish their dreams without stress and struggle. They seem to be able to arrive at success quite easily. What is the difference between these two groups of people?
Happy and successful people have a different mind set. They have one that works. It allows them to create and attract more happiness, wealth, success, and wonderful things into their life. It is just the opposite of the one described.
Be, Do, Have Mindset
These people know that they must FIRST focus on being. They know you must be (think and feel) happy or successful first. This is the prerequisite before you are able to see any changes in life. Be it first!
Once you are happy then you will naturally do the right things to get the things you want to have. The actions you take will be congruent or in alignment with how you think and feel.
The actions will seem easy, almost effortless, because they stem from the happiness you are already experiencing. The end result is because of who you are, the happy successful person, and the positive actions you are taking. You begin to manifest the things you want to have. Happiness and change starts from within you!
The model, Have, Do, Be means you put off being happy and successful for another day. It comes at another time. You delay it while you attempt to get those things that you think will make you happy. Plus, and this is a big point. The happiness one experiences comes from things outside of themselves.
In the Be, Do Have mindset happiness is immediate. It is in the here and now. It is within you. You are happy because of what you are thinking and feeling. You are in charge. Because you feel happy and successful you are much more able to do what is necessary to create what you want.
Because you are in control, because your power comes from within you, and you are happy and positive you are better able to create and attract and take advantage of favorable circumstances. You don’t have to wait to be fulfilled because you are fulfilled now!
When you operate from this place your ability to change for the better accelerates. If you BE as if you already have what you want you will naturally DO what you need to in order to accomplish your goals or get what you want to HAVE.
Happiness Comes From Within You
Your happiness comes from within you. Your happiness is independent of the world and of anything that occurs in the world. I repeat your happiness comes from within you no matter what the circumstances are.
When happiness and success are delayed and dependent of things or circumstances outside of you, people may get what they think will make them happy, only to discover they still are unhappy. They have stuff but still feel empty.
A multimillionaire told me to my face one evening in his home, “I have all this money. I thought it would make me happy. I was lucky I made the money. At the end of the day, I have this money but I am still me. I am not happy with who I am. I got lots but I am still me’.
This is sad because this gentleman truly is at the top of his game and renown in his field. He had anything that anyone could want to have but still was not pleased. He wanted himself to be better and he needed some help in this area. That is why he sought me out.
Eventually, he adopted the Be, Do, Have paradigm and made some profound personal changes. The fact of the matter IS Being comes first. This is just the way it is. Accept it! You correct yourself first.
You be happy, you be confident, you be loving, you be successful first. Then you can have more. The same is true for the other more useful paradigm. If you are happy first you will bring more of it about. it will expand.
Happiness Is A Choice
Happiness is a choice. You are in control of your thoughts and feelings. You choose to BE happy. So you will add to your happiness. From your happy and successful place you will do those things you love and enjoy and are passionate about.
You will be happy with whatever you have but because you are count your blessings you will have more things to count. This is why it is said, ‘those who have will be given more’, it hardly seems fair but that is how it works. Mindset, thought precedes everything else.
