THERAPY SUCKS!!!

“I have set the alarm. I have raised it. Let this be your wake-up call. My words are the signal, a sounding alarm to shake things up, to get you to think deeply, and to evaluate where you stand. When I say therapy sucks, I’m not saying it for shock value or to dismiss the great therapists out there who help people every day. I’m saying it to jolt you into examining your beliefs and practices. Are there terrible therapists? Absolutely.

Are there fantastic ones? Without a doubt. But this discussion isn’t really about therapy at all, it’s about you. It’s about how you live your life, where you place responsibility, and the habits and practices you cultivate every single day. What are you focused on? What are you looking for? If you search for reasons you’re broken, you’ll find them. If you look for people or circumstances to blame, they’ll appear.

But if you choose to focus on your strengths, your talents, and the opportunities to grow, you’ll find those too. Here’s the truth: whatever you focus on expands. Focus on the negative, and your world will seem dark and difficult. Focus on the positive, and life opens. Focus on blame, and you’ll feel powerless. Focus on responsibility, and you’ll take charge. This isn’t just a feel-good philosophy.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It’s a proven psychological principle. Studies on neuroplasticity show that our brains physically adapt, and restructure based on what we think about most often. If you constantly dwell on problems, your brain becomes wired to notice more problems. But if you consistently practice gratitude and positivity, you start to see solutions and possibilities everywhere. Your beliefs shape your reality. Your beliefs act as a filter.

Your beliefs color how you perceive the world. If you believe you need to sift through every painful memory or flaw before you can heal, that will become your reality. You’ll find yourself endlessly digging through the past, trying to “fix” yourself. But here’s my point AND it’s the game-changer: you don’t have to fix what isn’t broken. Yes, you’ve faced challenges. Yes, you’ve made mistakes. Welcome to being human.

But you’re not defined by those moments unless you allow yourself to be. Instead, you can choose to see yourself as resilient, resourceful, and capable of growth. My approach, backed by science and experience is this. Take it. Spend 80% of your time focusing on what’s working, what’s good, and what’s possible. Spend the other 20% of your time addressing weaknesses or challenges if you feel it’s necessary.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

If you can bump that 80% to 90% or even 99%, you’ll find that your life begins to transform in ways you never imagined. There is power in positivity. I’ve a friend Sean who was laid off during a corporate downsizing. At first, he felt defeated. But instead of dwelling on what he’d lost, he decided to focus on his strengths and passions. Sean always loved photography but had never pursued it seriously.

With time on his hands, he started taking photos, building a portfolio, and sharing his work online. Fast forward a year, and he’s now a sought-after freelance photographer with a thriving business. Did he face challenges? Of course. But his focus determined his direction. He didn’t let his circumstances define him; he defined his circumstances. He’s just one example of what is possible if you don’t let yourself get down due to circumstances.

This is what I’m urging you to do: Take responsibility for your life. It’s your wake-up call. Be the creator, not the critic. Stop blaming external factors, your past, other people, the economy, or even the weather, and start focusing on what you can control. If this resonates with you, it’s time to act. Don’t just think about change, make it happen.

Who’s Really in Charge of Your Mind?

“Alright, let’s address the elephant in the room. Perhaps something I wrote in a blog ruffles your feathers. Or perhaps you disagreed with a family member, friend, co-worker or stranger. Maybe, you’ve encountered some difficulty at work or hardship problems in life. That’s okay! Your reaction, whether you loved it, hated it, or felt indifferent, says far more about you than it does about everyone and everything else.

And that’s a powerful lesson. Why? Because your reactions reflect your mindset, beliefs, values and expectations. It’s not about the words I wrote, or someone else spoke, or the experience you had, it’s about how you process them. The truth is life itself works the same way. Life happens, and we either react to it or respond to it. The question is: who’s in charge of your mind?

Since I also work in the entertainment business making movies or now ‘content’ let me give you an example I’ve used for five decades. It occurred to me in my life and so I’ve shared it ever since. Picture two people sitting side by side, watching the same movie. When the credits roll, one walks out saying, ‘That was incredible!’ The other groans, ‘What a waste of time!’ Sometimes I loved it while my friend didn’t, or I hated it but they liked it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Did the movie change? No, of course not. The film is the film. Its content doesn’t shift based on who’s watching it. What differs or changes is the perspective of each viewer. One person resonated with it, while the other didn’t. Their reactions weren’t about the movie; they were about themselves, their values, expectations, and personal experiences. They also pay attention to different aspects of the same thing. Each has their OWN experience.

Now, extend this metaphor to life itself. Events unfold. Challenges arise. Opportunities come and go. Your experience of these events depends entirely on how you interpret them. This is PRECISELY why mindset matters more than circumstances. So, let’s explore reacting versus responding and taking control of your brain. Here’s the difference:

When you react, you let your emotions and old programming dictate your behavior. You’re on autopilot. When you respond, you consciously choose how to think, feel, and act. You’re in control. Take Julia. She lost her job unexpectedly, a circumstance that could derail anyone. At first, she reacted with anger and fear, blaming her employer and the economy. But after some reflection, she shifted gears.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Instead of staying stuck in her emotions, she responded by focusing on what she could control: updating her skills, networking, and exploring new career paths. Within months, she not only landed a better job but also discovered a renewed sense of purpose. Her life changed because she chose to respond, not react. So, are you running your brain or are you letting it run you? The key to transformation lies in this simple yet profound truth:

Run your brain, or it will run you. Most people operate on mental autopilot, letting their old habits and beliefs dictate their actions. But here’s the good news, you can change this. Take control of your mindset. Just as a pilot charts a course for an airplane, you can direct your thoughts to where you want to go. It’s not about denying life’s challenges but about learning to navigate them with clarity and purpose. Act now. Do something about it.

If you’re ready to stop reacting and start responding, I invite you to join me in Create Your Best Life Using Einstein & Tesla’s Genius™. This program is designed to help you: Break free from limiting beliefs. Harness the power of your mind to create lasting success. Learn strategies rooted in the genius of Einstein and Tesla to unlock your full potential. Imagine waking up every day feeling empowered and in control.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

It starts with a decision, a decision to take charge of your thoughts and your life. Click here to enroll now

Here is something else to realize and consider: no single article, book, blog post, movie documentary or conversation can fully capture every angle of a topic. Just like a diamond has many facets, every subject has multiple perspectives. To truly understand something, you must step back and see the bigger picture. This means distancing yourself from knee-jerk reactions and exploring the subject with curiosity and openness.

When you do this, you gain clarity, not just about the topic, but about yourself. The exact same truth applies to other people you encounter, events and circumstances enjoyable or problematic. Life is happening right now. The challenges you face, the opportunities you see, and the emotions you feel are all part of the unfolding story. The question is: how will you respond? Again, I ask, how will you respond to life as it unfolds?

Will you let your old programming dictate your reactions, or will you take charge and consciously direct your thoughts? Remember, your response creates your reality. You can choose to see obstacles as barriers or as steppingstones to something greater. This is why I suggest you learn to celebrate the wins, the lessons, and even the struggles. Why? Because every experience, good or bad, shapes who you are and where you’re headed.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

When you celebrate everything, you open yourself up to joy, gratitude, and the limitless possibilities life has to offer. Life is waiting for you to step into your greatness. Take the first step today. Decide to respond, not react. Decide to run your brain, not let it run you. Decide to live fully, freely, and purposefully. Your best life is waiting. Go claim it. More next time. Celebrate Everything!” Rex Sikes

Train Your Brain for Success: The Power of Intentional Thinking, Inner Clarity, and Daily Conditioning

“The first step to building a life you love is to master the mind, to decide with unwavering clarity on the reality you want to create. You don’t need to settle for what seems possible. Aim for what you desire most. Wallace Wattles put it powerfully: ‘think what you want to think regardless of appearances.’ This isn’t just wishful thinking; it’s deliberate, intentional focus. Decide and declare YOUR desired reality. Be clear and precise. Be the cause!

Be intentional about what you truly want. Don’t limit yourself to just what feels achievable. Ask yourself, ‘What do I truly desire in life?’ What do I love most?’ ‘What would bring me fulfillment, purpose, joy?’ Then, decide it’s yours. Don’t wait for permission or confirmation. Act as if you already possess it. If your dream is to become a millionaire, then think, feel, and behave as a millionaire would. How does a millionaire respond to setbacks?

They don’t waste time with doubts, they push forward, they focus, they see opportunity everywhere. They don’t worry about where the money will come from. They know they will have it when they need it. When you constantly think this way, your brain will begin to believe it, creating new neural pathways that align your thoughts, actions, and outcomes with this new identity. To behave in a new reality you must first conceive of it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Pioneers, Edwin C. Barnes, the Wright brothers, Steve Jobs, Edison and Oprah Winfrey, embodied the strength to see past limitations, doubt, and outside perceptions, creating a lasting impact because they believed in their dreams beyond what circumstances suggested. They refused to let ‘reality’ as it was define their potential. They practiced and maintained what some call a “reality distortion field,” allowing them to persist toward their vision.

Life isn’t about reacting to every setback, every “fact,” or circumstance that pops up. Instead, start seeing these things as feedback. Reject limiting ‘facts’ as facts. They are just data points, showing you where to refocus, to adjust, and ultimately, to strengthen your inner power. Every challenge is a chance to pivot, to recalibrate your course back toward your goals. Reframe your reality because reality is what you make it. It’s the story you tell.

Think of Thomas Edison. He faced thousands of setbacks, yet each failure didn’t deter him but fueled him. Each so-called failure was simply feedback guiding him closer to success. When you see ‘failures’ as temporary redirects, you tap into an unstoppable mindset. He said he learned 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb and that was success. The story he told himself was one that kept him going when others may have quit. It’s important.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

When Edwin C. Barnes set out to work with Thomas Edison, he had no resources, no influence, and no credentials that would make him a viable business partner. He arrived at Edison’s lab with nothing but determination, willing to start as a janitor just to gain a foothold. Barnes wasn’t deterred by the mundane, starting as a lower-level worker rather than a partner. Working as a janitor he kept his purpose and mission alive.

His commitment to his vision, paired with the unwavering belief that he would one day work as Edison’s equal, kept him going. In time, Edison noticed Barnes’ dedication and gave him the chance to sell an invention, the Edison Dictating Machine, where Barnes excelled and eventually earned the partnership he had envisioned. He didn’t look at what wasn’t right, he kept looking at his vision, his purpose and remained passionate about it.

Orville and Wilbur Wright, the pioneers of modern aviation, faced constant criticism and were ridiculed for their ambition to create a flying machine. Many people of their time, including respected scientists, thought powered flight was impossible. However, the Wright brothers didn’t see limitations; they saw possibilities. Through repeated trials, errors, and learning from each failure, they refined their designs. No failure. Only feedback.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Despite setbacks and crashes, they stayed focused on their vision. They believed in their capacity to succeed even when others didn’t, ultimately making the first successful flight in 1903, transforming transportation as we know it. They experimented and continued to experiment when all they got in return was failure and criticism. They didn’t let circumstances, events, ‘failures’ or others prevent them from continuing on to success. Get this!

Your mind is your most powerful tool, and affirmations are the keys to programming it. Repeat your goals daily. Condition your subconscious with the truth you want to live. Visualization is equally powerful; see yourself living out your dreams, feel the emotions of achieving them, and train your subconscious to align with this vision. Use the Attitude Activator™ to positively and powerfully move forward. Keep a daily journal to reinforce this reality.

If your goal is health, love, or financial success, write it down, feel it, see it in your mind. Say, ‘I am healthy, I am loved, I am wealthy.’ Make this a ritual. Daily repetition builds resilience and aligns your actions with your desired outcome, turning fleeting thoughts into long-lasting beliefs that propel you forward. Better yet, learn to use my Directed Questions™ which makes it easier and more enjoyable. Most importantly, stick with it. Keep the faith.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Condition your mind for success and refuse to let disappointment or others stop you. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc., famously wielded what people called a “reality distortion field”, a unique ability to make the impossible feel achievable. He saw possibilities where others saw obstacles and inspired his team to reach for goals they initially thought unattainable. This mindset fueled groundbreaking inventions like the iPhone and Mac.

Those were often developed against significant technological and market odds. Jobs did not allow skepticism or initial failures to dissuade him from pushing boundaries. He continually redefined what was possible by staying true to his unique vision for Apple, changing the technology landscape. Notice a pattern among people who make things happen. They refuse to accept the ‘outer reality’ as the reality. They know it is an illusion. It’s a story.

The story you live by and tell yourself matters. The people I mentioned refused to let circumstance dictate their lives. Instead of being at the effect of ‘reality’ or the world, they chose to be the cause of their reality. From within to without they moved. You can too. Most let the outer world affect their inner thoughts and feelings and because of this they remain victims. Don’t be at the effect of the world. Be the cause of your happiness and success!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Big results come from small, consistent actions. Start where you are and keep moving forward, even if it’s a single step at a time. Don’t wait for the perfect conditions or approval, create the momentum by acting in alignment with your goals. The world reflects what you believe and put your energy into. As your inner world changes, your outer reality will mirror that transformation. Affirm, visualize and take consistent action toward your vision.

Oprah Winfrey’s journey from hardship to global influence is a powerful example of transforming adversity into strength. Growing up, she faced poverty, abuse, and numerous other personal challenges. When she began her career, she encountered criticism and limitations set by societal expectations. However, Oprah refused to let these circumstances define her. She didn’t allow others to define her, she defined herself. She wrote her story. Get it.

Instead, she channeled her inner resilience and belief in her own worth, creating a highly successful career as a talk show host, media mogul, and philanthropist. Oprah famously referenced the idea of being the ‘captain of her soul,’ empowering herself to rise above limitations. Her commitment to personal growth and self-belief has made her one of the most influential people in media. Realize, please, it is from within to without and not the other way.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

If you’re building a business and no one else sees the vision yet, don’t let that stop you. Keep taking action, showing up each day, focusing on growth, and believing in your mission. Every step builds momentum, and as you persist, people, opportunities, and resources that align with your vision will appear. That’s what each of the examples I shared did. They clarified what they wanted. They developed the certainty to get it. And they did.

These individuals exemplify the ability to redefine reality on their terms, disregarding the obstacles others accepted as facts. Barnes refused to settle, envisioning his success alongside Edison. The Wright brothers dismissed disbelief to soar above the earth. Jobs altered how we think of technology, while Oprah transformed her life story into a message of empowerment. Here’s the cool part. They are just like you and me. Get this!

They’re humans just like us. Still, each refused to let the circumstances of their world control their potential and instead embraced a resilient belief in their capacity to shape their destinies. If they can do this, so can you. You can unleash your inner power and create the life you want. Are you ready to break free from old limits and claim the life you were born to live? Decide, right now, that you will create a life of purpose, joy, and abundance!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Science teaches us for every cause creates an effect and for every effect there is a cause. The choice is yours. You can be the cause or you can be at the effect of the cause. If you let the outer world dictate your inner world. you will always affected by the cause. OR you can be the cause and create the effects you want. You can create the love, the life, the happiness, the health, wealth and success you want WHEN you are the cause. Get this!

Embrace the powerful tools of intentional thinking, proactive action, and the unwavering belief in yourself. Take inspiration from their stories. Make the decision to believe in yourself beyond your current circumstances. Define the future you want, visualize it daily, and take action to create it. Refuse to let the present dictate your potential. Don’t let some rain spoil a parade. Attitude is everything. Mindset matters. Learn to manage it and WOW yourself.

Dive into my programs designed to guide you through reprogramming your mind, tapping into your inner strength, and building a life that fulfills you deeply. Don’t wait for conditions to change; you are the change. Together, let’s start the journey of intention, courage, and joy. It’s time to be the master of your mind and creator of your dreams. Let’s make today the first day of your best life. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
