Activity Versus Action: Moving Doesn’t Mean You’re Moving Anywhere

Denzel Washington said, ‘don’t confuse movement with progress.’ Just because you’re doing a lot doesn’t mean you’re getting a lot done. This means you can be busy with lots of activity and not be moving forward or achieving your dreams. Progress is different.

Update And Upgrade Your Attitude & Self-Image With Ease

Know the difference between spinning your wheels and actually getting somewhere. I’ve done plenty of things that seemed important but got me nowhere. At times I’ve focused, done far less and got further, faster. Assess what you’re doing. Make sure your production produces the results you intend to get and aren’t just a distraction. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Be Brave Enough To Suck At Something New

“Encountered this wonderful meme again recently, “Be brave enough to suck at something new.” Bravo to the first person who ever uttered those words. We always tend to suck at new things. What keeps people from trying is we don’t want to look bad.

Our culture tends to enforce the concept that you’re never enough. That the prime objective of public relations. It is/was when Edward Bernays founded the field. Every major ‘big wig’ wanted Bernays formula for propagandizing the consumer into feeling ‘less than.’

He moved us from a need buying culture to a want culture in order to sell more products and increase profits for the big companies of the day. We’re taught we’re smelly, flakey, with yellow teeth and greasy skin. We suck. We lack. We need and we want to be better.

Start Reprogramming Your Mind Today Using This Easy Method

At one time you bought because you needed something. Now, we buy because we want things AND we don’t want to be perceived as less than, stupid or incapable. We want to be thought of as better than that. So, often we won’t try things if it’ll make us look bad.

We whine, complain and blame when trying it that ‘we are really better than this and it’s silly and stupid.” Everything we do the first time IS because we haven’t done it before! We get better with practice. Whatever we want to master we must first suck at.

Want to play the piano. The first time you try, it’s not that easy. Keep at it and you’ll get better. You will miss much in life if you let a bad attitude prevent you from doing things you could enjoy. Don’t let cultural conditioning and image management hold you back.

Update Upgrade Your Self-Image And Attitude With Great Ease

You are better than anyone thinks you are. Even you! Be willing to appear not so good the first time/s in order to get better later. Relax and enjoy. Make it fun and it won’t matter. The more we do the more we are capable of doing. Don’t lose out to a bruised ego.

Pretty soon, you’d be playing piano with more ease and enjoyment. Get it? With the right attitude, you can do most anything. Begin today to attempt new things. Learn and enjoy learning. Let go of having to be the best right from the start. Ease into it. You’ll enjoy everything so much more when you permit yourself to. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

The Internal You Determines Your Failure Or Success

“Plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz unlocked the notion of self-image for psychologists and the human potential and self-help movements in the 60s. Thought leaders and ancient mystics knew this all along but until Maltz put pieces together, psychology was a flaccid field.

Maltz pointed out, “Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-brake on.” You can’t expect to get far driving that way. You need to release what’s holding you back. It’s an important inner transformation that’s required and not a cosmetic external one.

“The ‘self-image’ is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self-image and you change the personality and the behavior.” Change from within results in changing the system, the behavior and ultimately the results. This is the efficient way to change yourself.

You Can Reprogram Your Mind By Using This Technology

People try to change results or circumstances instead of working on their inner image which is the prerequisite for change.“For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.”

People think, ‘I’ll just boot-strap it and work harder. Will power will make a difference.” But Maltz proved this incorrect. “Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.” He said, “Your most important sale in life is to sell yourself to yourself.” Get this point!

The most important sale in life is to sell yourself to yourself! Why? Because “You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.” You actions are always consistent with your inner image. Want to change your results and behaviors? Change your inner image first!

Update And Upgrade Your Self-Image With Greater Ease

Everything changes when you alter your self-image in positive ways. “The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognize your own worth.” I share with you these principles and practices to help you become the best inner version of you. Activate your attitude and believe in yourself. You’ll act consistent with your inner image to make your dreams come true or not. Today, now, is all you have. What are you waiting for? Do it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Upgrade And Update Your Self-Image And Stop Doing What You Don’t Want To Do

“Ancients knew it eons ago. Modern thought-leaders shared it through the past couple centuries. Maxwell Maltz revolutionized the field of psychology in the 1960’s. Maltz was a plastic surgeon who concluded some patients changed with surgery. They benefited.

While others did not. Even though their physical appearance was altered, which one would think would relieve the person, often patients remained the same or felt worse. They didn’t notice they looked better because their issue wasn’t physical but in the mind.

It’s the ‘self-image’ that caused the troubles. Maltz concluded, fix the internal image and the outer physical appearance didn’t matter as much. I quote Maltz twice because it is important to understand how he helps us change ourselves and how his work shapes us.

You Can Reprogram Your Mind By Using This Technology

He said, “For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.” It isn’t our will-power that’s the issue but our image and imagination. And then this:

“It is no exaggeration to say that every human being is hypnotized to some extent either by ideas he has uncritically accepted from others or ideas he has repeated to himself or convinced himself are true. These negative ideas have exactly the same effect upon our behavior as the negative ideas implanted into the mind of a hypnotized subject by a professional hypnotist.”

Hence, we need to reprogram our subconscious to work on our behalf as we consciously decide we desire it. We need to update and upgrade our self-image to free ourselves from the problems and issues we may have suffered with, through life. Get it?

Update And Upgrade Your Self-Image With Greater Ease

To assist you I share this. You can use this to help program your mind as countless thousands have. Change what you’re habitually thinking about. Reprogram your subconscious mind to free yourself so you can live the life you want and deserve. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Create Magical Moments And Memories For Yourself And Others

“Good day creatures of habit! How goes it? Pretty much the same, me thinks. Wishing you a fabulous delightful, fun-filled day and beyond. Celebrate everything. Wake up to the opportunities all around you, you’d otherwise miss. Open up to infinite possibilities.

Seek to become aware and awake. Seize the day. Make good things happen for all. Love yourself and others. ‘Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.’ – Buckminister Fuller also pointed out our purpose for being is to benefit others. Add value. Uplift.

‘The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.’ Live today with compassion. Spread the good around. Give not to get or to in-debt another, but to uplift. Help free up those with needs. Lend a hand, an ear, a smile, or more. Give!

Cha nge Your Thoughts & Transform Your Life

Make moments marvelous, magical, miraculous and memorable for everyone, including you. You will when you contribute to others and help make the world a nicer place for all. Seek to include everyone and exclude no one. Be a blessing. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why Knowing And Not Knowing Matter To You

“The goal isn’t to just know information. Knowing intellectually is as useful as memorizing a list of streets. So what? If you don’t understand what you ‘know’ so you can apply it, it’s not of value to you. You must know it in your bones. Get to know it in your DNA.

You must sense it. What we aren’t aware of runs the show. Why? Because it is outside our awareness. We can’t do anything about it until we become aware of it. If you don’t know someone is hiding in the bushes ready to pounce on you, what can you do about it?

If you don’t understand what you learn so you can implement it, what good is it? If you don’t implement what you learn, nothing will be different. For your life to change, you must change things in your life. You must become aware, understand what you learn so it’s as automatically available to you as you know your own name.

A Positive Mindset Helps You Think – Feel – And Be Better

You don’t have to think about what you’re called. If someone says, who are you? You don’t hesitate trying to recall it or figure it out. When it comes to making changes, you want it wired into your subconscious so well, it’s as automatic as knowing your name.

You must learn it and apply it. Do it so often, you get good at it. Not only good at it, but you master it. Then, you don’t try to do it, you just do it. Rehearse it and practice it correctly, repeatedly, consistently for a long enough period of time to train your brain to do it reliably.

Then it becomes habit! This is how you evolve. Knowing, but not doing, is really not knowing. Please understand IT begins with understanding what you learn, so you can apply it correctly. It means becoming aware of what you don’t know and what you do know.

Cha nge Your Thoughts & Transform Your Life

Become willing to be open and make corrections along the way. If you’re willing to do these things, you can more easily and swiftly transform yourself and your circumstances. It means you’re able to make the changes you intend to make to begin getting the results you desire. It’s not enough to ‘know it’, you must actually know it and understand it so you can do it. Then. everything changes. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Deserve Money And Not Just Money

“There’s a difference between people who are rich and poor. Just as there’s a difference between people who are happy and those who aren’t. Some people have nothing and aren’t rich but are happy, while those who are rich and have everything are not. Hmmmmm

What does this tell you? It should tell you the difference between both is mindset and what they focus on. Poor and unhappy people and rich and unhappy people focus mostly on what is wrong, not good enough, the emptiness they feel and why things suck.

Those who are happy but poor focus on what they have as enough. They’re content with little. They focus on joy, helping others, and feeling fantastic. They’re more important. Those who’re rich don’t focus on debt or loss, but on the good things and feeling blessed.

A Positive Mindset Helps You Think – Feel – And Be Better

One major difference between rich and poor is rich people tend to think, feel and believe in their cells that they deserve to be rich. They know the world is abundant and they’re entitled to all good things as is everyone else. Happy people believe they deserve to be happy.

Life is good. Love is in the air. Joy fills their hearts. They deserve the good life and feel blessed whether rich or poor. It’s all thought. It’s all attitude. It’s all belief. When you come to realize this you can rock your world for the better. You can be rich, happy, and loved.

According to author Steve Siebold in ‘How Rich People Think’ he states, the rich believe ‘success, fulfillment and happiness are the natural order of existence.’ Convince yourself you deserve it. Think success, fulfillment and happiness are the natural order. He adds

Cha nge Your Thoughts & Transform Your Life

‘This single belief drives the great ones to behave in ways that virtually guarantee their success.’ If they can believe it, why not you? Why not adopt the belief, whether it is money, love, peace, joy or anything you want? Why not completely believe you deserve it. Well, why not?

It’s not about having things and excluding others because all others deserve it too. AND there’s plenty for everyone. Cultivate this belief and you’ll be far better off. You’ll open new doorways to discover opportunities you didn’t previously know existed. You will.

As Siebold says, ‘this single belief drives them to behave in ways that guarantee their success. Adopt the belief. Make it yours. Behave in ways that guarantee your success. Change yourself and your world. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
