“Sometimes I sit and reflect, not to dwell, but to understand. I take lessons from everything. I read sacred texts, philosophy, neuroscience, quantum physics, you name it. I explore. And I don’t always take things literally. I pull out the golden threads, the metaphors that resonate, the teachings that help me, and hopefully you, navigate life better. There’s a story I revisit now and again. The one about Lot and his wife. You probably know it.

Most see it as a tale of sin and consequence. But for me, it’s a masterclass in focus. Not punishment. Not damnation. But direction. Lot and his family were told to leave their city, to walk away from the old ways. They were heading toward something new, fresh, promising, and aligned. The past didn’t serve anymore. The old system, the old state, the old city, call it whatever you want, it was time to go. But Lot’s wife turned back.

She looked over her shoulder, back at what she was leaving, and in that moment, she was frozen. Immobilized. A pillar of salt. Stuck. That’s what struck me. Not the fire and brimstone. Not the wrath. But the freezing. The locking in place. A living metaphor for what happens when we hold onto what no longer serves us. And that right there? That IS the real cost. And it is an immense cost that takes its toll on you.  It freezes you. Get this!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The moment you fixate on the old, the loss, the pain, the betrayal, the past, you stop. You pause your life. You delay your progress. You lose momentum. And the longer you look back, the longer you stay stuck. We do this more often than we realize. Something happens, and instead of releasing it, we replay it. Again. And again. And again. Like an emotional loop. The same thought, the same feeling, the same reaction. It’s one foot on the dock…

Research from Stanford University shows that ruminating on the past increases cortisol levels, your stress hormone, which impairs decision-making and clouds your ability to act effectively (Bruehlman-Senecal et al., 2015). And we wonder why we feel overwhelmed or paralyzed. It’s no mystery. We’re mentally anchored to what was instead of aligned with what could be. You can’t move forward if your mind is looking backwards.

That’s not a metaphor. That’s neurology. That’s reality. You go nowhere with one foot on the boat and the other on the dock. You are holding onto the past instead of letting go into the present to create your future. So, what do you do? YOU STOP it! You must do something different. You must move both feet in the direction of where you want to go. You become flexible. Let go. You forgive. You get kind. First with yourself. Then with others.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You shift your focus deliberately toward where you want to go. Like a GPS, your mind needs coordinates. But you must enter the destination and drive. It won’t do it for you. People often ask, ‘What’s the fastest way to create change?’ And I tell them: change where you’re looking. Shift from what you are focused on. Start with what you’re thinking. Catch yourself when you drift back into old habits and gently redirect. You’re not broken.

You’re conditioned. And what’s conditioned can be reconditioned. It takes practice. It takes grace. Neuroplasticity proves this. Your brain is rewiring itself every day based on what you focus on and repeat (Doidge, 2007). That’s incredible news! BECAUSE it means you can train yourself into success, joy, resilience, peace. But if you don’t, you’re reinforcing the default. The old wiring. The old city. And here’s the thing nobody tells you.

Not changing is costly. It costs you time. It costs you happiness. It costs you connection, health, money, confidence, and it costs you your dreams. People go decades frozen like Lot’s wife, wondering why nothing shifts. But they’ve been looking back the whole time. Again, this is why I created the Einstein Course. Because you need the tools. You need the map. You need the practice field to condition your mind and attitude the right way!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

What way is that? It is to condition your mind deliberately, intentionally, daily, powerfully and positively. It’s a course for rewiring your thinking, amplifying your results, and becoming the kind of person who doesn’t just bounce back, but leaps forward. We dive into the science of success. We explore the mechanics of belief. We train for real-life application. This isn’t theory. It’s transformation. Stop getting and staying stuck. STOP! Then MOVE!

In my program you get access to a formula that has helped thousands retrain their brain, up-level their habits, and radically improve their lives. You can too. And once you do, you start to notice that you’re lighter. You stop freezing when things go wrong. You respond, not react. You become flexible. You become powerful. You become free. Because real freedom isn’t about having no problems. It’s about being resilient and creating momentum.

It’s about not being shackled by the same ones over and over again. Look, being human isn’t about perfection. It’s about direction. We stumble. We forget. We get hooked. But the key is in how quickly we notice and how gracefully we return. Back to center. Back to peace. Back to the path. Don’t let a backward glance cost you your future. Choose to move forward. Choose to evolve. The link is below so you can enroll in the Einstein Course. Accelerate your transformation. Step fully into the version of you that’s been waiting to rise. You’re not meant to stay stuck. You’re meant to soar. Celebrate everything.” Rex Sikes
