The Trouble With Waiting To Take Action

“People who wait do one thing. They wait. Then, they continue to wait. You must realize the only time you have, is this moment. This moment is all there is. The next moment may never come. Opportunity can slip away. Act now. Stop procrastinating. Do it!

Don’t wait to make your dreams come true. Conditions will never be perfect. To think they may be is a great deception. Climates change, conditions change. There are highs and lows. Waiting for the right moment will cause you to loose out many, many times.

I’m not speaking of gambling or risk taking behavior, I am talking about making your life what you want it to be. Create your best life ever. Don’t put it off. I knew a guy who never dated because he didn’t want to bring a woman to his ‘crummy little home’. So he missed out.

30 years later is remains without a lover in his life because conditions were never right. It is sad, because he wishes it were otherwise. STOP! Make what you want to happen right now. Learn to behave in new ways. Act in your own best interests.

Say ‘YES’ to life and take charge. Live! Learn something new. Do something new. Create something you want. Make it happen. Experience the joy of action. Live love, laugh and enjoy! Right this instant. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Stop Being Ruled By Your Excuses!

“Stop being ruled by your excuses! Stop being ruled by negativity. Stop being ruled by debt or lack. Stop being ruled by lack of confidence. Stop letting yourself whine, complain or excuse yourself. Tough love here. Step up to the plate and take responsibility.

The calvary ain’t coming. No one will rescue you. Only you can change your life for the better. Nothing will change if you don’t proactively change it. You need to be reading inspirational material everyday! The correct inspirational material. Choose wisely.

You need to be engaged with making your life better. You need to be visualizing and affirming. You need to manage your thoughts and feelings and overcome the limiting beliefs and excuses that hold you back. You need to be listening to inspirational audios.

If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Right

You need to be attending events, and workshops. It is said you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Well, perhaps you need to seek some new higher vibe friends. Still, love the old ones, but level up. It is completely in your hands.

You have all the resources to make any change. You may not have discovered this yet for yourself, but it is an accurate statement. You may be blinded by your chronic, habitual limited thinking that has always held you back. It’s time to get over that! Don’t you think?

If you want your life to change you must change things you are thinking, feeling and doing! If you always do what you always did you will always get what you have always got. Be different. Invest in yourself. Go the extra mile. Leap into newness. It may be scary.

The More We Do The More We Become Capable Of – Do It!

All change may be scary and uncomfortable. It means stretching outside of your comfort zone. You need to develop an unstoppable attitude and unshakable confidence in yourself. You need to develop a love for new ways of being. You need to stop stopping yourself!

Stop holding yourself back. When you engage in what I have just shared with you, you will get new positive and powerful results. Join in with others who are making a difference and can assist you, but you still have to do it! When you do, you can surprise yourself.

Life gets good when you stop interfering and move forward. Allow yourself to dive into life deeply and positively. It can be safe and yet scary. It can be scary AND you can do it safely too. Be grateful. Engage. Get enrolled in life. Get going on creating your best life ever! Stop waiting and take some action. Today is the only today you will ever have. Don’t miss it! Transform yourself and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Are You Planning To Fail?

“Ben Franklin said’ If you fail to plan you are planning to fail.’ You may have a big dream or goal, you may have just set an intention and you don’t know what your next step is. You don’t know how you will accomplish what you desire. Make a plan. Plan your success today!

It really doesn’t matter that you don’t know how. How will come along the way. Thomas Edison didn’t know how to make a light bulb work until he made one. Until then, he kept experimenting and adjusting. Once he got it right, he knew what to do. So will you.

Napoleon Hill has said your plan will change many times along the way. When traveling you may encounter roadblocks and detours. You adjust to those, but you keep heading in your desired direction. So create a plan. Know that it will change. Consider it a first draft.

You Can’t Manage Time But You Can Manage Your Priorities

You can’t hit a target if you don’t have one. You wouldn’t even know where to aim. So plan to make your big dream come true. Focus on the first step. Perhaps, you want to sell 100K, 500K a million a year, plan how you will do that. What will you do today, tomorrow?

What will you do next week? Plan next month and each month. Take baby steps. Single steps. Determine to speak to one extra customer a week. Make it easy to win. That is 52 new contacts in a year. Plan to speak with a couple a week, or every day speak to one new person.

Just keep it simple enough that you do it consistently. That way you win. You keep your commitment to yourself and you move forward. Don’t concern yourself whether they buy or not. As you get better you will connect with the right people. Just make contact. Tell them.

Drop By Drop The Tub Fills – Step By Step You Get There

If they don’t hear it from you they can’t buy it from you. If you spoke with one new person each business day that is 260 new contacts a year. If only a couple bought you’d still be better off than if you do nothing. Get it? Plan to succeed. Work your plan and you will.

If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. Whatever you want to be, do or have you can, when you get smart and work wise. Manage your mindset and feelings. Set intentions and make plans. Keep your word and do what you say. Stay positive and optimistic. Invest in yourself and your education. You will turn yourself into a champion! Be grateful and celebrate everything.” Rex Sikes

It’s The Law! Did You Know This?

I want to share this incredible, and subtle,  quote with you. If you take it to heart it can make a huge difference in your life. Forget, ignore or forgive the gender specification and writing style of the author’s day. Simply reflect on the quote. Allow yourself to consider:

‘Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err. This is just as true of those who feel “out of harmony” with their surroundings as of those who are contented with them.’ James Allen As A Man Thinketh

In Or Out Of Harmony Is Due To  One’s Thinking – It’s The Law

Consider this. Consider how you might change your thinking and change your life. Stay with it. Reflect. Ask and expect yourself to answer. Be gentle. Seek. You will find. Meanwhile, practice gratitude. Find delight and celebrate everything.” Rex Sikes

You Can’t Handle The Truth!

“I know most people won’t like what I am about to say, but it is just the way it is. No punches pulled. It is time you face up to it, whether you like it or not. If you own it, you can transform your entire life. If you don’t, you will continue as you have. If that’s okay with you, then.

Everything you are and everything you have, and all of your circumstances, you have created. You have always been creating your own experience. You have always been creating your own reality. No one, but you can create your reality. Only you can.

You have. You have been all along. If you take responsibility for it you can make it different. Up to now, you have been haphazardly creating. You have been doing it all along but didn’t know you were, nor were you deliberate about it. You get what you think about.

Thoughts Are Things – You Get What You Think About

Your present is a reflection of your thought life. If you don’t like it then change your thoughts. Most people don’t like their circumstances and get busy trying to fix the circumstances. That is trying to treat the symptom but does nothing about the cause.

All the busyness and effort does little to change things. You just work harder. The goal is to work smarter, not harder.  Get your mindset right first and the rest falls into place. Become a deliberate creator of what you want, instead of what you do not want.

Take charge of your mind. Decide to make things happen. Work on getting your mind set right. I keep sharing with you the protocol. If you don’t apply what you are learning, nothing much will change. There is learning, knowing and doing or being. You must be it.

You Are Where Your Thoughts Have Brought You

You must do it. Knowing is not enough. Information changes nothing. The application of information can. So become an intentional, deliberate creator and claim your life. Decide what it will be and settle for nothing less. Make it positive for you and for others.

Create good things. Have fun. Love more. Get financially free. You can be, do and have anything you desire when you determine you will make it happen. Only you can make it happen. It isn’t luck. You aren’t playing the lottery. Get in the game of life and decide to win it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

When Will You Stop Stopping Yourself?

“What holds you back from being, doing and having everything you want in life? If there weren’t something you’d already be it, do it and have it, wouldn’t you? So what stops you from living your dreams? Discovering the answer and eliminating that can change everything.

If you haven’t listened to the audio program I shared with you a couple blogs ago, please go and listen to it now.  Here it is again. Listen and learn. Then begin to explore. Feel free to share your thoughts with others and  me in the comment sections.

I asked some questions in the audio blog, from the Virtual Summit and I’d like to go over those with you. These are important questions to consider. If you give actually ask, entertain and reflect on these  they can help you to create the kind of life you want to live more of.

What do you want? Clarify it. Be specific. If you say you don’t know what you want, then what is it you absolutely do not want? Once you know what you don’t want, reverse it. What do you want instead of that? Get to the bottom of what you want. Get clear about it.

What stops you from having it right now? Something must or you would already have it, right? So what is it? Why don’t you have it? Once you know that it is some block or limitation or experience from your past, you can begin to get over it. Be honest with yourself.

If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Right

When will you stop, stopping yourself? When will you  move forward on what you want? When will you do this? Will you begin now? Decide. Only you make decisions for your life. No one else and no experience from the past decides for you. You must choose!

YOU decide. So when will you go for it? If you don’t know how or need help, that is why I write this blog. I am here. I can help you but I can’t do it for you. I can be a guide but you have to take the steps. Get clear about what holds you back and where you want to go.

You may not know how to get past the blocks yet,  but decide  you will. You don’t have to know how. You just have to really want to, as a first step. You must also know where you want to end up. That is why I asked you what you want. Get clear in your own mind. Get it?

Our Only True Limitations Exist In Our Thinking 

If everything in your life is okay, keep doing what you are doing if you are living a fabulous, joy-filled life. If not, and life could be better, but it isn’t yet, are you open to some options? If yes, fantastic. If no, you are not, that is okay too. It is always your decision. Which is it?

If you are open there are options. You can email me regarding some of these at createyourbestlifewithrex@gmail.com I can let you know some of what is available. Meanwhile, practice gratitude. Ask and answer the questions. Do some real soul-searching and be glad.

You can get clear and move forward and begin to make your life more of how you want it. An important step is practicing gratefulness daily. The more grateful and appreciative you are the better life becomes. So take some time each day to count your blessings and really focus on them and how good it feels. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Will Never Have The Good Life Doing This!

“Stop and consider this. Why on earth would you ever get what you want while focused on what you don’t want? I mean really. If you wanted to come and visit me, but focused on every place I wasn’t at, how would you ever expect to get there? You wouldn’t, would you?

Yet, this is what people do all the time. They think, speak and affirm all the difficulty and issues they experience. They gleefully share bad news with family and friends. They out do each other with stories of woe. Do you think this leads to a more positive and productive life?

There is a reason for the statement, ‘misery loves company’. There is a reason for the statement, ‘birds of a feather flock together’. You get more of the same, whatever you are focused on. You don’t get its opposite. You don’t get to Milwaukee, talking about Texas.

If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t – You Are Right

You must focus on where you want to end up regardless of where you are right now. That is the principle behind the GPS. It knows where you are and where you want to get to. It assists you in choosing the quickest path, and in some cases, avoiding blocks.

That is what affirming, what you want, does for you. It keeps the destination in  mind while you journey. If you want more good things in life, you must put and keep your attention on those. Energy flows where attention goes. You get what you think about most often!

You don’t get what you love, focused on what you hate. So, why do you persist? Habit. It has been a habit and you must learn to change the habit. That is why I write this blog to help you. That is why I have products and seminars for many years assisting people. Get it?

You Become What You Think About Most Often

Stop focusing on what your problems are and begin shifting your attention to what you want to be, do and have! No matter what circumstances present themselves, no matter where you are on the journey, stay focused. This is how you make it happen. Get it? Focus on what you want. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What Really Is The Law Of Attraction?

“The Law of Attraction is only a name and a bad one. Actually, the name isn’t the problem, it is what people think the name means. Many people think it means sitting in your room fantasizing for wealth and things. This is the issue with the concept. It is not that.

The same is the case with Positive Thinking. It too, has gotten a bad wrap. Positive Thinking does not mean going naively through life, wearing blinders and ignoring things that are happening, in favor of airy fairy platitudes. It isn’t about that at all.  Not at all! NOT at all!

Positive Thinking is maintaining a positive, ‘can-do’ mindset in the face of difficulty. It is solution focused. Someone always says, ‘yeah, you can think you can fly all you want, but gravity will prove you wrong.’ That is the issue. That isn’t positive thinking. It is foolish.

Believe In What You Want So Much You Actually Make It Happen

Positive Thinking is not thinking, ‘there are no weeds’. It is recognizing that you can take care of them. It is recognizing that you can successfully tend the garden. You can find the tools, and learn how if necessary, and enlist others too, if needed, but, you can do it.

Gravity is a law, as is the Law of Attraction. We work with the laws not against them. Laws mean they operate whether you believe they do or not. Hence, whether you think you can fly or not, gravity has an answer for you. However, positive thinkers were able to fly.

They worked with gravity and the principle of lift to overcome gravity’s force and propel a vehicle into the air. Had they not thought positively, that they could do this, that it might be possible, it would have never happened! They found solutions. They persisted.

Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Rigth

The Law of Attraction, is one of a number of laws about the nature of human kind and consciousness. Together, these laws represent a system and a science for making thing happen. It is Cause and Effect, another law, and not airy fairy magic. If you work it right, it works.

Just as the Wright Brothers were able to work a plane up into the air, my explantations are the nuts and bolts to transforming yourself, shifting what you are doing on the inside, to get the results you want on the inside and the outside. Apply them and you will transform.

Do nothing and nothing will change, much. In order to change your life you must change things in your life. There is also the Law Of Action. Together with Positive Thinking and the Law Of Attraction you can become powerful and unstoppable. You can do it. Truly!

Thoughts Become Things – What You Focus On Expands

You can make things happen. You can be, do and have, anything you want, within reason, for yourself. As Napoleon Hill said, ‘If you can conceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it.’ That means you are doing it. Conceiving, believing and achieving are action steps.

Why do I say within reason? Because you don’t circumvent the Law of Gravity as  suggested in the previous example. Be realistic! Work with the laws. Put the laws to work and you will discover and incredible universe opens up to you. Do it! Discover for yourself! AND celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
