“Action is a part of everything. Everything moves. The wind blows. Water travels. People act. Change any one thing and everything changes. If you’re making a cherry pie and you leave out an ingredient, add one not in the recipe or change the order of instructions you won’t get the pie you intended. You will get something. Maybe worse. Maybe better. It will be different. That’s what people do. They haphazardly act. Do they benefit?

Well, if they adjust according to the feedback, it may prove beneficial. That’s what the Wright Brothers did. They experimented with flight. They didn’t know how to fly but they kept trying different things BUT they were smart about it. They knew what they wanted. They kept trying and didn’t let failure stop them. Once they flew, they knew how to fly but to get there they needed to use feedback from the defeats. They needed to learn.

If they just did anything they may not have flown. They had to take the correct actions to eventually fly. They had to find the formula. That’s important to realize. Often when people don’t know what to do they chase things. They add, they subtract, they go out of order. They run here and there. They chase their tail. They complain and get frustrated. Why? Because they’re taking actions but not fruitful actions. They’re active but not productive.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

There’s a difference between activity and being productive. Knowing who to listen to is important. Knowing where to go to get accurate information is crucial. Any change can change things AND you ought to be open to anything BUT when you want targeted results there you want right info and action. If you’re in quicksand making lots of movement won’t help. If your car is stuck in the mud or snow just stepping on the gas may not help move out.

If you’re in quicksand it’s important to calm down, relax and not move. Attempt to get on your back. Flailing about will sink you faster. The same is true in water. When panic sets in, thinking right is harder to do. One must learn to remain calm. What do professionals EMTs, troops and others do? They TRAIN to remain calm. They run drills. They practice so when in a crisis they respond from their training and not from overwhelm. Get this!

The first action you must take to help yourself is to get your mindset correct. Get your thinking right. With the right attitude you can perform as if you are magic. With a bad attitude it may seem as if nothing works out right. From thinking comes doing. Thought precedes action. All innovation comes from thought and then taking the steps to bring it about often through trial and error. Again, correct thinking leads to correct actions. Get it.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The ability to take and utilize good feedback AND being willing to learn and change is necessary. Yes, you can haphazardly, possibly luck into things or you can more scientifically pursue your dreams. Wishing doesn’t make it so. Right thinking can. It isn’t wishing and wanting that works wonders. However, correct thinking can. If you use it to make things happen, you will. Why? Because you’re already making things happen you may not want

Your thoughts are creative your reality. Learning to direct your thoughts in a positive and powerful way to get what you intend is an art and science. There IS a process and if you use it, it may seem like magic but it’s no different than making a delicious cherry pie. If someone gave you an incorrect recipe and you made a pie from it, you won’t get what you hoped for. If it left out, put different ingredients or extra stuff in, what happens?

You’d get a crappy pie. You don’t get what you want because you got an incomplete or wrong recipe from the person. That’s why knowing WHO to pay attention to and learn from matters. If they don’t know it’s wrong or they deceive you, you won’t get what you desire. You complain the pie sucks. Either you keep experimenting or you give up. Do you understand the analogy? If you give up, it is over. Thinking right works. You must learn to.

If you keep trying you may get the pie you want. You might luck into it. Sometimes you get it. Sometimes not. If you just start throwing things in without paying attention to what you’re doing, you won’t know what worked and what didn’t. SO, actions alone aren’t enough without the thought that directs them and learns from the trials. Get this. I close with important quotes from Florence Shovel Shinn. Please pay attention to this.

“Change your thoughts, and in the twinkling of an eye, all your conditions change. Your world is a world of crystallized ideas, crystallized words. Sooner or later, you reap the fruits of your words and thoughts…. “Words and thoughts are a tremendous vibratory force ever molding man’s body and affairs…“Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract… “Man can change his conditions by changing his words.”

Remember, thoughts become things. What you’re thinking matters. Napoleon Hill stressed accurate thinking and organized planning. It isn’t just wishing. It is all about productively thinking and then acting. Correct thinking IS the first action you must take. Learning this process is necessary because none of us start there. We come to it by trial and error. If you’re wise you learn to understand the process. Thoughts, feelings, words and actions.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Get your thinking right and you’ll begin taking the right actions. The thinker makes all the difference. The thinker chooses the thoughts. You ARE the thinker. Think right and you’ll act right. Think wrong and you’ll act wrong. It’s quite simple. Thinking makes it so. Practice thinking right. Practice thinking well. Get training in thinking positively and powerfully. Train your attitude. Develop a success mindset. Then everything that changes can change in the direction of your desires more quickly and easily. Then you’ll start getting the results you desire. Success comes from thinking successfully. Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes.
