“It’s useful to know what you don’t want, negative feelings can serve as essential markers of what needs to change. But don’t stay there!

“Why post on Trump? Because he is in a position of power. Because leadership has been expounded on by Napoleon Hill and others. He is, as we all our, subject to examination as a role model and whether he is a good leader or not. Emotions can run high. I attempt to be fair.
There are some things I like about Trump, which I wrote about while he was a candidate, that can be useful to adopt. There are things about Trump which, in the correct context, can be useful. There are things about Trump that would best be avoided, too. Get it?
Napoleon Hill studied 520 of the wealthiest people during his lifetime, plus thousands more. Those successful and not. He shared his findings in numerous books. The most popular, of course, Think And Grow Rich. He wrote much on leadership. He wrote on wealth.
You Can Be Do And Have Anything You Want – Focus
Near the end of his life he pointed out of the 520 and their families only one person seemed to have a decent, balanced life. The rest had addictions, suicides, mental illness and sickness due to being out of balance in their pursuits. He suggested cultivating peace of mind.
He said there was a point where too much was destructive. Obviously, ‘too much’ or ‘too little’ means different things to different people. He pointed out that children of the uber wealthy were often ‘broken’ because of their lavish, easy, upbringing.
He valued the right mindset, and the right actions, toward wealth. He felt anything not earned could be detrimental, especially big riches. Hill, nor I, am suggesting there is anything wrong with having money. It isn’t money, but the LOVE of money that’s the issue.
Be Careful What You Wish For You Might Just Get It
Greed and power can corrupt. Whether you think our ‘leaders’ and current president is, or isn’t, corrupt is up to your beliefs and values and filters. I don’t want to persuade you one way or another. I prefer to allow you to study, evaluate and conclude on your own.
Examine, in light of my blogs and works on, effective leadership. Evaluate sincerely those who would be role models for your children. Find right balance. Pursue wealth as a white-hot obsession while remaining true to the principles Hill shares and decency.
I prefer a kind world. There is abundance, and the potential for everyone on the planet to live better lives. The question is not, is there enough, but is everyone able to access? There is great disparity today. We have been warned about this for centuries.
Are You A Giver Or A Taker – Are You A Builder Or Destroyer
The Founding Fathers warned that the system we set up in America could easily be perverted if it wasn’t watched carefully and kept free of corruption. The same can be said of ourselves. Examine yourself. Use Hill’s evaluations and decide if you are on the right track.
Are you helpful or hurtful? Are you a good or great or abysmal role model? Do you contribute to the overall well-being of everyone around you or do you not? Are you finding peace or chaos? Are you living in the light, ‘vibing’ high and helping others, or a vampire?
Decide how you want to be, what you want to do and have. You can make your dreams come true. A rising tide floats the entire boat. Not everyone today wants everyone to rise. Do you? Are you a giver or a taker? Are you a builder or a destroyer? Do you help or harm?
Peace Of Mind – Help Others – Love – Peace – Abundance For All
These are important questions? It is just as important to ask about the people we elect, or whom assume leadership roles here or in any country. I prefer a world where everyone can be, do and have whatever they want as long as it doesn’t harm or prevent anyone else from doing likewise. We can build and create this kind of world if we dedicate ourselves to it. We can have this kind of life if we really want to. Discover how! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Whether you like Obama or not, he speaks truthfully about the ‘powers that be’ attempt to keep the citizens divided to maintain their hold on power and privilege. The ‘rulers’ know keep the ‘peons’ fighting each other and they will never oppose the rulers.
While this is a U. S. issue right now, citizens worldwide need to remain alert, vigilant and not be dissuaded nor distracted by all the horrible shiny objects placed in front of them to keep people down. Understand the struggle and rise above it. People can change things.
From the founding U.S. fathers to present day politicians we were warned we’d face these issues. Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy warned us against the predatory capitalistic practices of the hidden oligarchy and the build up of the military industrial complex.
We live in times of struggle as serfs on the hillside outside the castle. The privileged don’t want to share their pie. You witness this fight everyday as they take from the ‘have-nots’ and give more to the ‘haves’. This is the way of the world. The uber rich rob the poor daily.
Those who have, get more. Celebrities, for example, get tons of free stuff . The rich want you to think the poor rob from you and from them. While that does occur the big money grabs are the political ones. Many people are blinded to this by their politics and greed.
Still, the people can prevail but it requires ethical, honest leadership, action, the proper mindset, and a plan to build something better, not just fight the powers attempting to hold people back. Dream and fulfill the dream. Don’t merely react. Gandhi did it peacefully
The Brain Is As Strong As Your Weakest Think – Think Well
It can happen. So attempt to make something better. Make something better for yourself and for your brother and sister citizen. Keep the faith. There is plenty to go around. It is simply being controlled, currently. We don’t divide pies. WE make more pies!
They want you to fear each other and the lack of resources. Stop being afraid. Be peaceful. Be generous. Be kind and be committed. Change happens when you make it happen. Dream big. Stay positive. Don’t drink the kool-aid or fall victim to cultish thinking.
We are one people of all kinds on one big rock hurtling through space. We ought to figure out how to all live together well. Study leadership. Watch the videos. Lead yourself and others to abundance and well-being. Create the best life ever. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“You have a ‘big dream’ you intend to make happen. You desire it in a big way. This makes you take action to get it. This action creates more desire, which in turn creates more belief, faith or certainty you will do it. YOU create the steam you need. You create momentum!
A power plant doesn’t have energy. A power plant creates energy. You are the power plant! You create the energy you need to make your dreams and goals come true. This is why successful people are driven. They are driven to succeed. Get it? They create momentum!
They work hard. They work tirelessly. However, they don’t consider it work because they are pursuing something they love. They are passionate about it. They are so obsessed they do more than the average person would, while the average person remains average.
The More You Do The More You Are Capable Of Doing
If you want to succeed you must learn how to create that passion and drive! You must create the love for what you do and the faith you will continue on until it is yours. Then you won’t be upset or stopped by circumstances and challenges. Nothing gets you down.
Instead, you’re motivated to go beyond obstacles and make your dreams come true! THIS is HOW YOU make things happen. You create the energy! It doesn’t come to you. You create it! You stoke it! You keep it alive, burning bright, until you succeed. You are the power plant! It is up to you. Create it! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“In a recent blog, you learned you must be passionate, in a big way. You need a magnificent, white-hot obsession, about your Definite Chief Aim or Purpose. You need to be focused predominantly on your ‘Big Dream’ in a ‘Big Way’ so that you HAVE TO have it!
Anything less is mediocre and not bound to happen. When you want it as much as you want to breathe THEN you will make it happen. You must want it, and have faith, believe, and be absolutely certain, you can, and will, make it happen, come what may. You will not quit!
You intend to bring it about. You take action to make it happen. Your actions feed your desire. The closer you get the more you feel it. This becomes a cybernetic loop, a momentum cycle. You want it so bad you can taste it. You pursue it. You taste it even more. You feel it.
The More You Do The More You Can Do – Passion Leads To Power
You know you are making it happen. You take action. You feel more inspired. You feel getting closer. You desire it more, believe it more. Get it? The closer you get the better it looks. No matter what challenges come your way you persist because you HAVE TO have it! This is how you create momentum. Start with a big passion for your dream and make it happen.

“If you’re having trouble making things happen, you may be going about it in the wrong way. Napoleon Hill, outlined principles and steps for success in Think And Grow Rich. Perhaps, you’re swimming against the current, instead of with it. Let’s examine this and see.
Hill says, Desire is the starting point of all achievement. Desire is back by Faith, and continued through with Persistence. The desire must be a ‘white hot obsession’. So here is where you, and many people, fall down. You get a job you don’t like. Could this be you?
You do things you don’t want to be doing. You aren’t living from a clarified, specific Definite Chief Aim or Purpose that is a magnificent obsession. You are going through the motions doing something you are stuck in. You are taking actions but not for things that matter.
If You Want It Bad Enough You’ll Find A Way – You Will Do It
You do a lot but not for anything that really counts. If this is you, you may need to assess your life and get your priorities in line. You won’t succeed big if you are ho-hum about things. If life is mediocre it will remain that way until you get passionate about something! Get it?
You need to desire magnificently, and believe you will make it happen, because you decide you will. Then, you act from that belief, that certainty, that you will do it. You take right actions, fueled by your passion, backed by faith and the steel will of persistence.
In this manner YOU MAKE things happen. You won’t, if you don’t care enough to bring it about! Those who make it to the top want it more than anything else! They want it and do everything positive and legal to make sure they get there. Are you? Will you?
If You Don’t Want It Badly Enough You Will Find Excuses
Check yourself and decide what is important. How do you measure up? If you are found lacking, you need to make some changes! You will only succeed in a big way when you follow your passion. Passion, white-hot desire, is that which fuels your dreams. If you pursue your dreams this way you can make them come true. If not, then you’ll remain the same. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“I enjoyed watching Becoming Warren Buffet on HBO, a new documentary. It documents his journey from a whiz kid to one of the world’s wealthiest people. Many of Napoleon Hill’s principles are exemplified in Buffet’s practices and rise in riches. A good show.
Interestingly, the documentary chronicles Buffet and Bill Gates meeting. Both men are asked to write down on a piece of paper what one thing they felt made them so successful. What was the practice or characteristic that, for each of them gave them that edge?
Independent of each other both men wrote down the word ‘focus’. Focus is defined as ‘the center of activity or interest’ and ‘the state or quality of having or producing clear visual definition’. Hill stated one needs a Definite Chief Purpose, or Aim, that was well-specified.
The Mind Is As Strong As Its Weakest Think – Concentrate – Focus
He further stated this Aim must be held in one’s mind, to the exclusion of all else, as a burning desire. It’s by will-power that one maintains focus on this Aim until one successfully brings it to fruition. You must persist and apply his principles to succeed.
Both Gates and Buffet considered focus THE main ingredient for accumulating great wealth. Perhaps, you should, too. Perhaps, you should read Think And Grow Rich for yourself. Then, put into practice the principles history has proven are responsible for making more millionaires than any other book. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Stop trying to control everything! Stop trying to control the people in your life. Stop insisting they be different. Stop insisting they agree with you. If there is one thing you should have learned in life it’s that it’s impossible to change others! So give it a rest. Allow them to be.
Letting loved ones and friends be who they are, in all their glory and in all their imperfections, is a great way to love and respect them. Each of us is who we are. Love yourself for who you are with all the good and not so good. Do the same for those around you. Let go!
‘The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image.’ – Thomas Merton. It is foolish and folly to try. It is futile. If you want changes, change yourself. You are the only one you can truly control. Improve yourself and let others be. Love, delight and be grateful they’re in your life. Be glad! Be happy!

“How do you get ahead and succeed? What kind of mindset do you need? These questions plague many people. The answer is quite simple. For most people, the problem is they don’t do what they should to be effective. They don’t do what is necessary to succeed.
They don’t commit nor persist. You must learn to maintain focus on your desired result and not waver. Locked on laser like focus is necessary. Focus on the dream or goal as completed. You are already it. You are doing it. You have it. Focus on this and feel good.
Feel how good it feels! Don’t be concerned with ‘how’ to make it happen. Stop attempting to dictate ‘how’ you bring it about, ‘how’ you manifest or attract it. Focus on the incredible feelings of having it. Vibe high. Let go of ‘how’. Stay focused on it already as yours!
Get Out Of The Way – Stop Preventing Yourself From Having
Yes, take steps toward getting it but let go of insisting on how it comes to you. It could come in expected or unexpected ways. Most likely, you won’t even see it coming, but it will. If you stay focused and dedicated it will surprise you how it shows up. So, let go and allow. Keep the faith. Stay focused and do not waver. Enjoy and delight. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“‘The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken’. This quote has been ascribed to many through the centuries and has been repeated by Warren Buffet, one of the wealthiest men alive. It is worth paying attention to.
He says, ‘what matters most is the kind of person you are’. So be sure to develop the best habits. Habits will rule you. Make sure you choose wisely those that rule you. Don’t be a servant to habits that hold you back, keep you down, negative, broke and unhappy.
Habits are formed, not at all at once, but gradually through repeated conditioning. Most of our habits evolve without us being aware they are evolving. Unless we remain alert and aware there is a great possibility you will discover yourself with numerous ‘bad’ habits.
Repetition Is The Mother Of Skill – Skill Comes Of Doing
“You can transform yourself into the person you want to be, but you have to decide early,” says Buffet. At any age you can transform yourself by the decisions you make. When you decide to let go of the ‘bad’ habits and make good ones, you can and you will. It takes will!
Through the same process habits were formed, you will make new ones, but this time with awareness and choice. You will use repetition of behavior, correct behavior, consistently, for long enough, until the new habit, the new neural pathways, takes hold.
This requires dedication, will-power, awareness, correction and persistence. You must persist until the new ones lock in. You can’t dabble. You can’t do some today and then next week, then two days and then a month later. It can’t be random engagement. Get it?
Start Where You Are With What You Have – Begin Today
You persist daily and see it through to the end. It may be frustrating but it is worth it. Only 2% of people ever do enough to master their mindset, feelings and behaviors to get the results they want that translate into great wealth or happiness! Most remain victims.
98% remain victims to their habitual thinking of lack, worry, fear and negativity. They remain victims to their feelings of inadequacy, loneliness, sadness and worthlessness. They remain victims to inaction, poor decision and procrastination. Time to stop it now!
You can change yourself from loser to winner, from victim to victor, when you repeatedly apply positive principles and practices long enough to make them positive, powerful, and reliable success habits. If you want to badly enough you will find a way!
You Go Where Your Thoughts Take You – You Can’t Escape It
If you don’t you will find excuses. 98% do! 98% find excuses and blame others and outside circumstances. They are not in charge of their success. The default to failure through bad habits. So, what will you decide to do? The future is in your hands! The choice is yours right now. Transform yourself. Begin today. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
