You Are Only One Thought Away From Making All Your Dreams Come True!

horizons red dawn

“Henry Ford said, ‘whether you think you can or you think you can’t; you are right!’ We have been discussing beliefs and the role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS), that part of your brain that looks for outer world matches to your inner world beliefs.

In other words, what you hold in your mind your brain actually finds evidence for. Driving home the point that Believing IS Seeing and not the other way around. We find evidence for what we already believe. We prove ourselves right. That is the job of the RAS.

Ford was correct. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t; you are right. You will find the evidence and prove yourself right either way. That should stop each of us and give us a great pause.

If I prove myself sad, poor, stuck, out of work, lackluster, disabled, morose IS that how I want to live? If my thoughts determine my results, perhaps, I should learn to manage my mind and change my thoughts? Don’t you think?

Either you live a life of can’t or a life of can. If you could have happiness, love, peace, fun, adventure, money wouldn’t you prefer that? My guess is most of us do even thought our lives run counter to what we wish for. The reason for that has been made clear.

We get the results in the outer world that we first create in our inner world. If we think we can’t we won’t. If we think we are undeserving, worthless and not entitled to wealth or happiness we will never get it, because we will instead, prove ourselves right.

Hmmm. I think I’d rather be wrong and rich! Wrong and happy! Wrong and in love with a partner, family and friends. I’d rather take control and make the positive, wonderful life happen. Because, if I think I can I am right! Wouldn’t you?

Do you realize you are only a thought away from having everything you wish and dream for? A thought away. Don’t you think it is time to take control and get and live the life you want? However you answer these questions YOU ARE RIGHT! The proof is forthcoming.

As for me, I prefer to live abundantly in all things. I believe I deserve it, as does everyone else. I believe it is all mine for the enjoying, as it is for you too. I prefer to make good things happen and live powerfully and positively. BECAUSE I CAN! SO CAN YOU! You are only one thought away!” Rex Sikes

Your Entire Life Can Absolutely Transform If You Just Do This!

horizons row of trees into sun

“Transformation is by far the easiest thing that I have ever done. I never would have thought that would be the case but it truly is. Many people don’t change simply because they believe it to be too difficult. It is not. It is easier than you might believe.

Transformation is worth far more than anything you can imagine!

I’ve been sharing about beliefs in recent pages. Our beliefs either serve us or they don’t. Unfortunately, many of us grew up and got used to thinking less than productive thoughts for ourselves. The good news is those thoughts and beliefs can be changed easily. In order to make the changes you want you do need to act.

You need to initiate the transformation.

You And Your Life Are What You Predominantly Think About

Within these very blog pages I have written it is not easy but it is simple. I do this because it does require something and if you are going to go for it then you should understand you have a role to play. You have something to do. That something is simple. All you have to do is monitor your feelings.

Whenever you notice you are feeling less than glorious or could use an attitude adjustment do it. DO anything positive that makes you feel a bit better. Do something good that puts you heading emotionally in the right direction. Change you thoughts, go for a walk, relax, read an inspirational book, play with a pet but do something nice that makes you feel better.

Change Is Far Easier Than You May Have Ever Imagined

While this may not seem easy at first it get easier. It is very simple. Repeat your positive affirmations and put your mind on what is positive. The only reason it may seem difficult at first is because you haven’t yet made it a habit. You are busy doing what you have aways done that doesn’t work. Once you change it your life and world changes!

It changes from the very first honest decision you make to do this. Everything begins changing the instant you decide. You begin to marshall your inner resources whether or not you think so. In the act or truly deciding you start change right then! The process begins. You became purposeful, at cause and intentional. You decided things would be different. AND so the shall be.

In Order To Begin Transforming You Must Decide To Begin

This is a wonderful beginning step! When you think about it you either decided to or not to transform. There really isn’t a middle ground. Either you are stuck or unstuck. You use these types of opposites to monitor your feelings. Think of it this way. Things are  either good or bad; right or wrong; hot or cold; positive or negative; There is either increase or decrease. Getting closer or further away.

Your feelings are a signal for whatever you are thinking. If you begin to think negative thoughts your feelings will change and feel less wonderful. You’ll feel more discomfort. If you are thinking about problems or lack or what’s wrong or what you want to avoid you won’t feel on top of the world. MAJOR SIGNAL HERE to change your thoughts and feelings.

Your Feelings Are A Signal That Your Thoughts Need Changing

Once you notice you make the shift. You think positive thoughts. You shift your body and feelings by doing some of the suggestions I made earlier. Your goal is to feel  better bit by bit. Incrementally is absolutely fine. You change your focus from what is wrong to what is right, to what you can appreciate right now. You think increase instead of decrease.

You focus on what’s good not what’s bad. You shift from the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings to the pleasant positive ones. You do this whenever you notice you are off course. By doing this you train yourself to shift your focus and feelings. One day, soon enough, this begins happening on its own.

You discover yourself automatically returning to what is positive and productive. You begin to find you spend much more time there naturally. As you do life changes. Things get better. You enjoy everything much more. It grows exponentially. You open up, the world becomes friendly. Things change in marvelous ways.

You Are Either Being Positive Or Negative – That Is Simple

As you change and make the adjustments back to the positive you will notice your beliefs changing. You will be delighted and surprised to find some seem to shift on their own. Others you may confront and decide they are worn out and need replacing with healthier more positive ones. Transformation is exciting this way.

There comes a tipping point where the momentum for positive change accelerates. Things come together quicker, easier, seemingly spontaneously. Birds of a feather flock together. Your thoughts and feelings improve and you feel wonderful so you get more of the same. You find situations changing for the better and life getting easier.

If things are tough you respond differently and more resourcefully. Obstacles no longer derail you. Because you are thinking and feeling positive you attract positive people who can help you. The results you get start improving. Everything changes in marvelous ways.

It is worth every effort. Even if it were far more difficult it would be worth it. It is simple and it is easy. When you decide to  go for it you change what you focus on. What you focus on is what you get. Remember, we become what we think about. Think wonderful positive thoughts and you feel better and you become more wonderful and positive. If you haven’t already, begin today!” Rex Sikes

Each moment is marvelous! Be sure to notice.

How Can You Tell When Your Dreams Are On The Way?

horizons summers-shower

“How can you tell when your dreams are on their way? How do you know when you are creating, making them happen or attracting them? Do you know? There is a way to tell. There is a clear indicator.

Your feelings are a clear indicator of what type of thoughts you are thinking. Your feelings inform you. Remember, what you think about you bring about. What you focus on expands. What you think you become.

If you are feeling good your dreams are on the way. When you are feeling good you are thinking positive, productive, powerful thoughts.  You are in creation mode, attraction mode and when feeling good you have the least resistance. You are most open and inviting.

You Are Most Open And Inviting When Feeling Positive

If you are feeling negative and less than glorious you are working against your dreams. Your feelings are a clear refection of your thoughts. If they aren’t positive and productive what would you expect to end up with?

You are least positive, least creative, and most resistance when you feel negative. You are still powerful and attracting but not the things you want. You are interfering with getting your goals and dreams.

Your emotions tell you whether you are moving closer to your dreams or moving away from them. Your emotions and your beliefs, your thoughts determine the results you get or don’t.

Your Reticular Activating System (RAS)  filters and determines the evidences you get back from the outer world. It ensures that the outer world will match your inner world.

You Either Move Toward Or Away 

So if you are positive and happy and feeling excited that is what you get back and what you experience in the outer world. If your inner world is dark and gloomy your outer world reflects the same. It is simple to understand how this works.

The big questions now IS DO YOU believe this? DO you believe what I just described? We have been discussing beliefs and how they affect you and your circumstances. If you do not believe it that is okay. You don’t have to.

I invite you, however, to act as if it is accurate and true. Act as if, try it on for a while, and find out what you discover. Accept it long enough to validate or invalidate it again. Does what I am asking make sense?

We know what your immediate reaction to the question is. If it is ‘no I don’t believe it’ then I ask you to suspend that for awhile, while you try on a different belief for a bit. Imagine you have a coat rack and you take off one belief as you would a suit coat and try on another one.

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

Wear it long enough to determine if it is a true fit, The reason for this is IF you aren’t happy with your current circumstances or results something is bringing them about. Perhaps, it is your thinking.

Perhaps not. You may already have an opinion. What you need instead of an opinion is an open enough mind to experiment to find out if your opinion is valid or not.

If it isn’t valid you may want to and need to make some changes. You will only know if this works well for you if you are courageous enough to try it on fully.

You Never Really Know Until You Try

To really practice it and find out whether things shift for you. You can’t really know for sure until you actually test it out. That will require an honest test.

But if you are willing to try for at least 90 days then you will have given it a decent beginning try. WHAT! you think 90 days is too long. It is the blink of an eye. But try it for 60 or at the very least 30. You do realize you need to do at least 30 days of honest, intentional trial.

What am I asking you to do? Fill your mind and being with positive, motivational material. Read and listen to positive speakers. Practice with affirmations and visualization daily.

Declare positively, powerfully with wonderfully strong enthusiastic emotions who you are and what you have. Live it for at least 30 days as optimistically as possible.

Set Up A No Whining Or Complaining Rule

If you catch yourself, whining, complaining or making excuses stop it and immediately focus on being more positive and feeling better. Try it on and find out if, at the end of the test time, you don’t feel much better and get better results beginning to come your way.

It is all up to you. Live with gratitude and celebration. Have fun and delight. Speak only to bless, heal, prosper yourself and others. Either you are moving toward feeling good or away from feeling good.

Whenever you notice you aren’t moving toward feeling good change what you are doing so that you are. Take control of your thoughts, feelings and life for a minimum of 30 days. Then evaluate. This makes the most sense to me. So go ahead, do something wonderful for yourself! You might just be surprised!” Rex Sikes

Make it a marvelous day!

Can You, Will You – Answer This Question?

horizon valley side

“Today my blog will feature a statement and question or two. This blog will be brief. It is up to you if you will entertain the question/s and answer but I think it would be most useful if you did reflect on it for awhile. We can learn a lot from some time well spent reflecting on what we do and how we do things.

Recently, We have been discussing beliefs.  Are you ready? Here goes.

Whatever we focus our energy on we create an increase of, more of, an abundance of. What we think about predominantly we get back more of. What we think about we bring about.

The question: What have you created? What are your results? What is your life and circumstances like? Are you pleased or not?

Exploration Is The Doorway To Adventure

I used more than one sentence for the statement and the question so I could state it and ask it in a couple different ways. Consider the questions for a few moments.

So are you pleased or not? If yes, fantastic, you must be doing something right, so keep it going. If not, then some changes may be in order so you can live more successfully as you would like to.

What are some of the beliefs you have around this topic? Can you list them? How do these serve you? How do they limit you? In other words, what does believing what you believe do for you?

You might want to reflect on this for awhile whether not pleased or pleased. Then you might want to consider where you put your attention, on what, and how you use your attention most of the time.

Are you focused on what you want or what you do not want? What are you getting back more of? What is the increase you are getting? What can you do, regarding your thinking, to stop getting what you don’t want? What can you do, regarding your thinking, to begin to get what you do want?

We Become What We Think About

Each one of us deserves the very best. You deserve the very best. More happiness, joy, success, and all good things. DO YOU  believe this? Why or why not?

My hope is that during the moments you consider these questions you learn something wonderful about you that allows you to move forward and live exactly how you want to live. More to come! Peace, blessings and celebration!” Rex Sikes

Have a marvelous day!

If You Want To Be A Failure Just Say So – Otherwise – Do This!

horizon the-upstairs-lookout-phil-koch

“How do you learn and remember things? Do you review? Do you imagine in your mind or say things over and over, repeating them to yourself? Do you re-live moments in your imagination?

The reason I ask is because it is how we use our minds that determines the results we get back.

I’ve been discussing the working of our Reticular Activating System (RAS) and it’s job to filter data and provide us the proof for our beliefs. It finds matches in the outer world for what we have going on in our inner world. You will recall this from previous posts.

If your inner world is drab, weak, stuck and broke, the RAS will work to confirm it. Your brain will work to keep you that way. If you make your inner world glorious and a celebration  the job of the RAS is to find opportunity and advantages. It confirms what already is!

You Are Where Your Thought Brought You

Thoughts precedes action. Thoughts come first and produce your feelings. What you and I think we become. What you focus on expands. Whether conscious or unconscious the predominant thoughts you think are driving how you feel. These run the show.

Your pictures, images, thoughts and words, combined with your feelings are powerful. These determine the quality of your life. What you see and what you say and what you feel is what you get. The results you get in the outer world are first determined by the quality of your inner world. It is not the other way around.

You manufacture it in your imagination, declare it and assert it by what you say and how much time you dwell on it, and lock it in with your feelings.  The results you get in the world start inside you. You are a dream or a nightmare factory.

You Will Be Where Your Thoughts Take You

Your feelings drive your subconscious and determine what you pay attention to in the real world. Your feelings determine what you create and attract. It is important to feel incredible. When you do you open the windows to all good.

If you think ‘I sabotage myself’ you will. If you think ‘I am a failure’ you will be. If you think ‘I am a gracious receiver’ you will be. If you think ‘all good things, expected and unexpected, come to me’ then that is what you will get. You determine the results you get back.

For far too many people the interior is dull and shabby so they get dull and shabby results. Once they get those dull and shabby results they react to them with less than glorious feelings thereby producing more of the same less than glorious feelings and results.

You Cannot Escape The Power Of Your Thoughts

It becomes a vicious cycle until we decide to change it. That decision can revolutionize our life! The instant you truly decide to change your life transformation has begun. In that moment you can begin to wake up to a new, different and better reality.

YOU determine your inner AND YOUR outer reality. YOU and you alone. If you think ‘I am a success’ you will be. It is what you imagine and declare yourself to be. You decide what is! You are the only one who makes that decision. YOU define you and your life.

Most people don’t want to hear this. They want to blame the economy, their parents, the government, their spouse or neighbors etc. They make others the culprits. We grew up hearing those around us blame others so it is natural but not correct.

You Can Control You Thoughts And Make Them Work For You

Nothing absolutely will change unless and until you do! Granted you, as some have, may get lucky. It is quite rare. So if you are willing to sit around wallowing and waiting until you do that is your choice. You’d be better off taking charge and control of your life.

Each instant you have a choice about what your life is going to be. Each moment you have a choice about who you are and what you can accomplish. You really do determine if your dreams or nightmares come true. It’s due to where you put your energy.

It is completely up to you. That is either good or bad news to you. If you want your life to change YOU and you alone MUST change things in your life. No one else can do it for you. Excuses and blaming won’t help. Only by taking responsibility for yourself will.

Place your attention on the one who makes the difference. YOU and evolve yourself into the kind of person who is able to make their goals and dreams come true. YOU can be, do and have anything in life! Dream big and make your big dreams come true.

Whatever You Do It Is Up To You – Decide

Inside these blog pages are so many tips and suggestions, secrets and golden nuggets for how you do this. Life can be so beautiful and so wonderful. You can enjoy and delight in so much. Don’t miss out claim it! Revel in all the abundant goodness there is.

If this blog serves to kick you in the butt to make your life more glorious  I am happy. That is what it is intended to be: a reminder of how great and powerful you truly are. So never live below your means when it comes to your authentic self.

You are powerful. You are either creating discord or bliss. Perhaps, a 50/50 mix of both. You deserve more bliss. We all do. Realize that if you can create discord you can create harmony. It takes as much effort and energy to be stuck, or negative as it does to move forward positively. Celebrate everything and live your truth.” Rex Sikes

How To Stop Screwing Yourself Over Once And For All!

horizons purple red sky

Would you like to stop getting the short end? Do you want more? Would you like a fabulous career, relationship and life? Would you want lots of love and lot’s of things? How’d you like  to be free to do what you want when you want? You can, you know? You can live the good life too! It works this way: (I recommend reading previous posts too).

Your internal thoughts and images, pictures and sounds, combined with strong  feelings inform your subconscious what you want. It is the visual image and sounds (self-talk, affirmations) combined with strong positive feelings that is the message! You send messages to your subconscious mind all day long.

Your Pictures, Self-Talk And Feelings Send A Powerful Message

Most of the messages you send you have been sending since you were a toddler. You have been informing your very own brain what to pay attention to and what to neglect.  Most of us never realize this is what WE are doing but WE ARE doing it. Instead, we blame others and the world. Once we recognize we are doing it we can improve it.

The stronger the feelings you have the greater the signal it gets. The better you feel, the more often you feel better the more often and stronger your subconscious gets that message.  The more often you feel less than glorious and the stronger negative feelings you have the stronger your subconscious gets that message.

This is how YOU communicate what you want to your subconscious. It doesn’t know or care whether it is positive or negative, good or bad, right or wrong it takes all it’s cues from what you send it. So if you don’t like the results in your life it is up to you to change it. Your subconscious mind merely carries our your wishes (among other things).

We Are Creatures Of Habit But Still We Can Change The Future

Your  subconscious is your servant mechanism designed to assemble your inner resources to help you get what you want. It is a servant mechanism designed to look for in life that which matches you inner world. It finds proof for what you already know. It delivers the proof by filtration. This is the job of the Reticular Activating System.

The (RAS) processes filters data from the real world. Since that can be than millions of bits of data at a time the RAS only allows in that which it thinks is important. How does it know? It looks for a match to what you deem important. That is what is meant when I say this process proves what YOU already know.

You RAS knows what is important by what you focus on most often accompanied by feelings. If what you know is crap, and negative and dire it will filter for that. Hence, your outer world reflects your inner. If, on the other hand, your inner world is glorious and filled with what you want that is possible your RAS filters for that.

People Think That Seeing Is Believing

It provides you either with limitations or with advantages and opportunities out there. Whatever you focus on is what you get. Whatever you imagine and say to be true for yourself IS true for you. That is what is meant by You become what you think about most. Whatever occupies your mind most frequently is what you get.

Have you ever noticed that people who say: they are broke and can’t get ahead rarely, if ever do? Or people who say they aren’t good with numbers, aren’t good with numbers. Or people who say they can’t lose weight never lose weight? The examples are endless. I am sure you can think of some you have heard or even thought.

Whatever people think about themselves they become. Whatever we declare or say is what we get. What you see, say and feel is what you get. ‘I am no good at this,’; ‘I am always late.’; ‘I am shy.’; ‘I hate broccoli.’; ‘I always screw things up.’ Your RAS filters out everything else and only allows in that which helps prove you are right.

In Reality It Is Believing Is Seeing

You can prove yourself a screw up if you want to OR you can prove yourself talented, successful, happy and loved. It is all in how you view yourself. So be careful which messages you are focused on because what you think you become. What you are focused on you will get proof for.

It can be a dire downward spiral or an incredible uphill ride.  The more proof you get the more you tell yourself it is true and believe it. The more you believe it the more you tell yourself it is true the more proof you get.

On and on it goes seemingly never ending. You think you suck and then get evidence for it which further convinces you that you suck so you continue to… on it goes. Wouldn’t you prefer this to end? Wouldn’t you want to find evidence for how you are a talented rock star in your world?

You Always Have Choices – Always

So the question you (all of us) need to ask is which would you rather live from? Do you wan to live and manifest the dire downward spiral or do you prefer the positive upward ride? You choice determines. You are the chooser. You have been choosing for a life time.

Is it time for a change? You do not have to live as you have if you don’t like or enjoy it. You can have better results and have a wonderful life. If everything is fine then keep doing what you are doing. If not, then make the change today.

Visualize! See and Say! Affirm, declare, assert who you are and what you want as though you already have it. See the good you want to have in the world as if it is already yours. It has already happened. Feel the feelings of owning it right now. Enjoy and celebrate these feelings. This is how you instruct the RAS to get you positive proof.

Having A Good Life Requires Having Good Taste To Choose Well

‘I can learn to do anything I put my mind to.’; ‘I am great.’; ‘I am wealthy.’; ‘I am healthy.’; ‘I am good with numbers.’; ‘I am confident.’ I am sure you can think of many more examples. Think positive and your RAS can begin to filter and show you positive proof.

This is how our belief systems work. We can change our limiting beliefs into positive new ones. Isn’t this great? You can condition your mind for a positive life! You can make great new positive good things happen. You can see and find opportunity that you previously missed. YOU can begin to live the life you want to live!

Your RAS will find in the real world that which matches your inner world. You can stop screwing yourself and living less than you deserve. You can end being a victim to your own shabby belief set and you can transform your mindset, yourself and your life into something outstanding. You can make all your dreams come true. Begin today!” Rex Sikes

What will you discover wonderful today?

This Is Why You Are Screwed And This Is What You Can Do About It!

horizons blue sky purple flowers

“If you think you are you certainly are. It doesn’t matter if you don’t think you are because not believing doesn’t change anything. It is like gravity. Whether you accept it or not the result is the same.

If you fall from a tree branch you are going down. Gravity works whether you accept it or not.

This is why you are screwed.

Thoughts become things! Remember this! Keep it in mind. Anything that exists in human reality first existed as a thought. An idea in the imagination is what eventually translated into actual physical results.

Your Thoughts Become Your Reality

A spoon, an office building, the computer, the phone, the electronic device you are reading this on all began as thoughts. THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS!

The results we get are because of the thoughts we first think inside our head. From within to without.  Whether or not we believe it or even know about it. From the inside to the outside we are creating reality.

From the inside to the outside IS the natural order of creation in our human world. That is just the way it works. It is the way it has always worked. We get an idea and translate it into physical being. Our results are the result of our thoughts.

We become what we think about. What we focus on expands. What we think about we bring about. Thoughts become things. So here is why you are screwed.

What You Think About Mostly You Bring About Mostly

You want to manifest a better life. You determine you want wealth, for example, but you hate being poor. Each day bills arrive. Money is scarce. Where is your attention? What are you thinking about?

If you are thinking mostly about mounting debt, bills and scarcity and feeling poor guess what results you continue to get.

AND why not? If someone can think and translate an office building into being why is it difficult to imagine your thoughts are keeping you stuck right where you are at. They are! That is precisely what is occurring. Thoughts become things!

If you then think and feel ‘I am stuck’.  You are. You are going to be. If you think ‘nothing works’.  It doesn’t and it won’t. If you think ‘I have subconscious beliefs that sabotage me’ Then you do and you will continue to have. These thoughts ARE affirmations too!

When You Declare It You Command It – You Create It

Your results, your reality IS what you think it is. It IS what you affirm it to be. YOU are creating it moment to moment. What you see, say and feel most of the time is what you get. What you perpetually focus on expands. You declare it you command it. You create it!

That is why you must stop entertaining those thoughts and feelings! You must think about what you want instead. You must focus on the good you want in your life. You must put your energy into what you want and not be distracted by the rest.

You must not pay attention to circumstances. You must focus on the end goal. You manifest what you hold in your mind. If you go back and forth you get nowhere anytime fast. You remain stuck because you vacillate.

You are drifting and wishy washy. You are positive and sure one moment then the next moment negative and doubtful. You aren’t going anywhere when you do that. You create being stuck this way because you keep doing this same thing over and over.

Gravity Doesn’t Judge You – It Just Does What It Does

Here is the actual truth. The Law Of Attraction IS working. It is working perfectly well. It is doing just what it is supposed to. As sure as gravity does it’s job the Law Of Attraction is doing the job. It is applied equally to everyone, everything, all the time everywhere.

You are getting exactly the results you are creating and attracting. You are getting lackluster results. You are manifesting chaos and confusion. You are manifesting lack and sabotage. Sad but true. Face it. That may be the most difficult thing you have to do.

You get back the preponderance of your thinking and feeling. You get back whatever you put your energy into most. If you are mostly negative or focused on what you do not want that is what you predominantly get back in return.

You Reap What You Have Sown

If you don’t like the results you are getting YOU have to change what you are doing to get better results. You have to create and attract better results. You think the law of attraction isn’t working because life sucks but the truth is the Law works perfectly well.

You just suck at creating what you want. You keep creating what you don’t want. I KNOW I have done it too! I was incredible at creating what I didn’t want. It took me a long time to realize that, stop it and start creating what I did and do want. We are human.

It is okay. That is why the Law Of Attraction doesn’t work the way you think it should BECAUSE it isn’t a magic bullet or pill. It isn’t wishing and hoping for something better while concentrating on crap. It is based on returning to you what you predominantly focus on.

If It Is To Be It Is Up To Me – No One Else

It requires training and focus. YOU MUST train your brain to stay focused on what you want. You must condition your mind to give you what you want. It will deliver reliably when you train and condition it. That is the LAW!

Right now it is working whether you believe it or not and it delivering whatever you are mostly giving it. I repeat: It is already delivering reliably. Consider this: It is like you body in some ways. What you feed it determines what you get back.

If you give it excellent nutrition, rest and exercise you can have great health. If you give it junk food, no rest and no exercise you can have crappy health. Get it? Okay. More next post. For now, realize you have something you must do to make life better.

When You Declare It – You Command It – You Create It

You must change your focus and keep it on what you want. You must be positive and feel good most of the time. Once you condition yourself to be this way it is much easier because the habits of your conditioning take over. First, however, you must do the work.

That is where and why most people give up. They are not prepared to persist and keep going until they make it happen. They dabble, they dip their toe in the water. They ‘try’ and when the going gets tough they blame the Law Of Attraction.

If you commit and get tough when the going is rough you will win. You will succeed. You will reap great reward. You will do what few else do you will prevail! Stick with it and you will be amazed and delighted!” Rex Sikes

What If You Already Had Everything You Always Wanted?

horizon blue and red sky

“We think we are separate but we are not. We are all connected in every way. We are all humans made from the same stuff. We breath the same air, live on the same planet. We are one species. We are one people.

We are one. Some will tell you we are made from the same stuff that everything there is is made from. I don’t disagree. You and I and plants and trees and rocks and things are all made from the same stardust.

We seem to forget that. We think we are separate. That is the big illusion and delusion. Some believe we purposely forgot in order to re-discover, in order to play the game. Whether that is accurate or not I can appreciate it.

Seek And You Will Find

Certainly, we seem to have forgotten something. Who we are at our very core. It seems we are beings of light and goodness. We are creators and attractors. We are the very things we seek. Yet, we still seek because we have forgotten.

So remember. DO whatever it takes to discover who you are inside. Look to your source, the source within. Re-discover the abundance, the love, the compassion, the kindness, the peace that is already yours.

Isn’t it silly to look for something you already have? Claim it. This makes sense to me. Become the change you desire by realizing you are already what you desire. You just have to get out of your own way and release the you from within.

Ask And You Will Be Given

Unleash your passion and your joy. Release your receptivity and acceptance. Bring forth your abundance and good will. Let your light shine and let all good things flow from you. Stop struggling to have what you already possess.

Own it. Be it. You will have more of it when you realize you aren’t actually lacking anything. You only think you are. That is the big deception, the delusion, the illusion. You are already it. Start acting like it. Accept it, believe it, celebrate it.

When you do new doors of being will open up for you. As long as you want it you are paying attention to lack and what you don’t want. You are denying you are already that and ignoring who and what you are. You are suppressing it. Let it go! Be it and you will have it!

Knock And The Door Will Be Opened

You are it right now. Now is all there is. When you understand and wake up to this you will know that it is true and you have had everything you ever needed or could ever want available to you always at all times. You are already that which you seek.

You deny it. Stop. Wake up and stop dreaming. You are already more than enough.. You are powerful, positive, love and happiness. You are health and wealth and abundance. You are receiving and generously giving. You are One with everything. Wake up to it” Rex Sikes

Celebrate everything today!

How To Stop Believing Lies And Acting Like A Walking Billboard!

horizons tracks and brown clouds

“Did you know that the philosophy and principles that were popularized in ‘The Secret’, movie and book, were actually suppressed through the centuries? It is true.

To this day there are groups who do not want you to know, understand and apply this very powerful, life transforming information. It works and they want to keep it for themselves.

Most of the time there is no one trying to harm us. They just to keep us off track or off balance. If we can’t apply the principles correctly we won’t know the power available to us. We won’t get ahead.

We will miss out and become a worker bee instead. You and I received many messages growing up. Many were meant to be helpful and well intended.

They were delivered  by well meaning adults and peers but ended up limiting us instead of helping us. Plus, there were those designed and delivered to keep us limited intentionally. Sadly, true.

The well meaning adults parroted many of these not knowing any better. It is how they were raised too. Among all the messages we received some positive, wonderful messages still made it through.

Stop Believing The Lies

Sadly, they weren’t emphasized enough to give them high signal value; the kind of signal value that would make a difference. So we missed their power. We heard them and missed them just the same.

You have heard it before but perhaps never thought about it this way before. The ancient texts and New Thought leaders have been saying it for eons. Be it first and then you will have it.

Happy people attract or make themselves happy. Wealthy people make and attract more wealth. Success breeds success. Be it, then do what you need to get what you want to have. Be, do, have!

The powers that be want us to struggle to get things thinking THOSE will somehow make us better. They won’t. They steered our focus around backwards. AND so we focused on the wrong things.

If you work hard to get what you want some day you might become wealthy, successful and happy. Do, have, be. In spite of this some of the powerful messages made it through. We just didn’t know it.

Love yourself if you want a loving relationship.

Be sexy and others will think you are. It is all attitude.

Be happy and good things come to you.

Feel successful and you will attract success.

Be confident and you can learn to do anything.

Start Believing In Yourself

Advertisers and others have done everything they can to create a need in you so they can sell their goods. They are willing to scare you, intimidate you and make you feel bad.

They want to make you feel as if you are lacking what is needed. They want to make you feel as if you are not enough as you are because when you do they can profit. AND they profit large!!!

They will make you fear your dandruff, body odor, clothing style, skin, wrinkles, age, weight, height, you name it. Their job has been to make you feel inadequate, ashamed and not enough.

They want you to feel absolutely incomplete without their product or service. The make you afraid to be you in so many ways. They make you ashamed that you are human. You need their products.

In ancient days they made the public feel inferior by telling them they weren’t smart enough to read the religious texts and understand it. Only gatekeepers could know and speak the truth.

In fact those power people spoke lies. They suppressed information. They hid it and told people ‘work hard’ and strive and struggle and you may be able to accumulate things and die happy.

They sold everyone a bill of goods that was incorrect. They sold lies so they could remain in unchallenged power and keep all the assets. They sold a bad bill of goods and we didn’t know not to believe them.

What You Focus On You Get

It still goes on today. The myriad of messages is that you are not enough. ‘Work hard’ and you may be able to break free. ‘Get a job’ and work for someone smarter and richer than you.

‘Be a good worker’ bee and spend all your money on hygiene and cosmetic products so you can fit in. Make sure you wear the right clothes, drive the right car, have the right home. It is all crap!

We are even silly enough to wear their designer labels thinking it is cool thereby making us walking billboards. We even PAY for the privilege! We advertise their brands thinking it IS cool to wear these.

Tennis shoes cost hundreds of dollars. Kids fight and kill over a pair of high priced high tops. Why, because you aren’t cool without cool shoes. This is complete madness.

You want the truth but as Jack Nicholson stated in the movie A Few Good Men, ‘YOU can’t handle the truth!’ That is accurate we can’t, you can’t. The truth is SO simple we miss it.

We have been conditioned to miss it. We believe the lies even when they are proved wrong. We live out of chronic bad habits and limiting beliefs.  It is time to wake up to the truth about you!

You Are A Powerful Creator

You are more than enough.! You don’t believe it but you are MORE than enough!  You have never been told that in a way that causes you to believe it, accept it and know what to do about it.

Culture and messages state otherwise. Leaders proclaim us too unwise to know what we want. We are taught we are stupid. We need leaders who know better and who decide for us.

So how could you feel great about yourself?

The secret is you are enough!  You always have been! You don’t need clothes and cosmetics to make you sexy and attractive that comes from attitude. It comes from inside not outside.

Successful people attract riches because they feel successful and they know they can do it. It doesn’t  occur to them to think otherwise. You can too if you do it the way they do.

Even though the powers that be tried to remove all remnants of your personal power some of it survived in the kind of statements I wrote above. If you want love love yourself first.

Yet people yearn for someone to come along and fulfill them because they do not first love themselves. They put it on the outside. The put the emphasis and power on a source outside themselves.

Break Free And Stay Free

See how insidious the lies are and how persistent they are. We have been lied to and trained not to believe in ourselves. We’ve been prevented from exercising our true, positive, creative power.

They did that to us so that they, a few, could maintain it all. They diverted us. Instead of looking inside to our inner strength and resources they got us focused on the outside adornments.

They got us thinking help comes from outside us. They got us thinking they are smarter, and better, and more powerful people than you and I. They distracted us from our true selves.

It’s time for a change! The secret to manifesting or creating what you want is to feel it first and then you get it. Feel happy and you will be happy. Feel successful and you will be. Feel it first! Be it First!

Feel powerful and you will be. Be positive and you will. Assume you are a powerful creator and you will make things happen. Feel like an emperor and you will live like one. Feel the victor and you will be!

Stop living as a victim. Stop accepting the backward messages designed to limit and keep you captive on a system designed to keep you down and out. Exercise your power and break free.

You Are In Charge

Stop serving them and serve yourself and others. Make you life what you want it to be. Get your head on straight. It is your thoughts and your feelings that run the show. You’re in charge. You can control it!

They don’t want you to know that you can run the show. They don’t want you to know that what you decide and where you focus is your strength. They want you helpless and hopeless and dependent.

Sucks doesn’t it. All along you contain within you a source of great power. YOU ARE THE SECRET and you don’t know it. What you think determines who you are, what you do and what you have!

Your thoughts give rise to what you want! They are the source of inspiration and innovation. Your feelings are the fuel that get you to your destination. You are the one who makes things happen.

ALL along you have either brought good things or bad things too you because they didn’t tell you YOU create your reality by your thoughts and then your actions. What you think you become!

What you focus on you get. You didn’t know. They hid it. They got you focused on bad news and not having enough. SO you created more of the same without realizing it. It is YOU, all along, doing it.

A Champion’s Actions Arise From Within

If you feel like you aren’t good enough you likely aren’t going to do much to succeed. If you feel like a victim you won’t claim your true power. They knew that and this is what they wanted for you.

If you feel a common laborer and broke you won’t live as a powerful rich person because you will always be concerned with making ends meet. You and I were duped. Most everyone has been.

See how they have distracted us! All of the emphasis and focus is on lack and not having enough. They make us think if we work hard for someone else we might get ahead. We won’t. You won’t but rarely.

There is nothing wrong with hard work but the correct hard work comes after the right mindset not before it. You need to have the mindset, the attitude in place and they managed to weaken that.

If you want to be, do and have anything in life first you must become it in your head and your feelings. Then you will then be able to hold it in your hand. You will create the results you want.

It is time to become free and not be a slave to limiting mindsets. Why spend all your money trying to be better and be enough when you are ALREADY enough within? You just have to tap into it.

You Just Have To Tap Into It

As I already mentioned it actually is very simple. You have been conditioned wrongly and powerfully for most, if not all of your life. Now you must learn a new way. You can!

You definitely can and you can succeed! You will replace your old conditioning that has held you captive with new conditioning that allows you to live free.

You will replace limiting habits with new positive powerful ones. You can make you and your life the one you always wanted. You can discover your inner resourcefulness.

You can make your dreams come true. You have waited long enough. Stop waiting. Wait no more. Decide now to no longer be a victim of a poisonous negative mindset.

Become the victor. Realize you already are powerful positive creator. Take 100% responsibility for everything good and bad in your life and you will get free. You won’t blame anyone.

Once you stop blaming and looking outside yourself for excuses or saviors you will discover how to make the changes necessary to have the life you want. You are powerful. You’ll create good things.

It Is Simple – Do It

You have always had the power but you used it incorrectly as you were conditioned to. Stop that! Start using it as you have always been intended to. Start using your powers for good.

Wow, I always wanted to be able to say a superhero line like that. BUT it is accurate. Use your power to be and do and have what you want. Stop getting less than glorious results.

Begin getting glorious ones. All you need you already have. Stop living from lack and desperation and from someone else’s conditioning. Those cause the results you have been getting.

Change your thoughts and your feelings and you will change your life. You can change your life forever! You can become the powerful positive creator you have always been intended to be.

Had you not been duped you would have created a wonderfully positive life. Don’t complain about the past, from now on live as a champion. Live powerfully, positive and create good things.

Think positive, happy, successful, confident, joyous thoughts and feelings and that is what you will live and act from.  Claim your power and use it wisely. Make everything better for yourself and others and you will live your dreams! Begin Today! ” Rex Sikes

Make today marvelous!

Creators Do It Differently Than The Herd: How To Be A Creator

horizons single flower red dawn

“Have you ever been in the presence of a person who just has ‘it’? You know what I mean. A person who walks into a room and their energy draws everyone to them like moths to a flame. Heads turn. People notice and want to move closer. They are something special;

This person is filled with positive, irresistible presence and charisma. It is positive energy. Positive high vibrations. Whatever words you want to use this is how you want to live moment to moment. You want to vibrate high and be filled with positive, powerful energy.

You Are A Light To The World

Think of yourself as a beacon.  Are you shining powerfully bright so all can see or are you a dim bulb? Illuminate yourself and you illuminate the world. Creators, those people who live powerfully live differently from the herd. They live as champions and emperors.

You can too! Do what they have learned to do and you will. They know how important it is to be in charge of their thoughts and feelings. They think the best and feel the best most of the time. The know you become what you focus on so they focus on the positive.

Live with positive energy! Feel the best you can moment to moment. Live feeling the best you can. Think the most positive and wonderful thoughts and you will feel the most positive and wonderful feelings. Thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking go hand in hand.

Make Sure Your Light Is Lit

Live with positive energy. Emphasize it. That is what the creators do. Vibrate high! Keep your self talk and inner imagining on positive things. Speak to bless heal and prosper self and others.  Your power as a creator is to feel what you want before it is.

Thought precedes results. Thoughts precede action. Thoughts precede reality. If you think it in your head you can some day hold it in your hand. Energy moves from inside to the outside. You call it into action with your thoughts, feelings and words.

Keep your thoughts and images positive. Do the same with your self-talk and the words you do speak out loud.  Keep feelings the very best. Creators use their thoughts, words and positive emotional energy to manifests what they want.

Stay Positive In Thoughts And Feelings

This is how you make it happen! Be it before it and you will have it! They fully realize it first in the imagination. They feel what it is like to be it, to do it, to own it before they have any of it. From this then they create it. They take action to bring it into being.

This is how you manifest what you want. Imagine it. Write it down. Speak it as though it is already done. Feel it! Smell it, taste it! Enjoy it as if you already have it before it arrives. It is your story tell it the way you want it to be and it can be that way.

No whining, no excuses, no blames. If you live and think lackluster thoughts your life will be the same. Creators live managing the best they have. They are active in their self awareness and in maintaining their mindset and positive energy.

Go First – Be It – Then Do It To Have It

Successful people have money because they are first successful within. They feel successful. They know they are successful. They expect to have things work out. They expect to make money and attract opportunity.

Money comes to the successful it does not make you successful. Happy people are people who are happy first. It doesn’t matter what they have or what life throws at them. They are happy first. They can enjoy everything because it isn’t things that make people happy.

Yet, countless numbers of people have it backwards. They do, they struggle and work hard to have things so that they can be happy and feel successful. This is directly counter to how it works. You first be, you become it, and then you do, you take action to have things.

Act As If You Already Are What You Want

Pretend what it feels like to be able to do whatever you want whenever you want. Pretend that you can afford anything you desire. Pretend life is good and you feel incredible. Act as if everything is perfect. Enjoy it. Feel it. Answer this question.

If life were perfect and you were who you always wanted to be and doing what you wanted and having everything you wanted how would you feel? If you had everything you always wanted how would you feel? This is the feeling you want to live from most of the time.

Feel wonderful! Feel incredible! Feel delighted! The way you do that is to fill your mind and being with the thoughts that make you feel this way. From this energy you create. From this energy you attract. This is how the creators do it. They live vibrating high!

Feeling Good Is Feeling Good Is Feeling Good

Here is an important tip: The feelings you feel do not have to be directly related to what you want. For example, you want wealth but are not sure how to feel rich. You might imagine and feel freedom. You might feel blessed.

You might appreciate everything you do have without wanting more. You just feel true gratitude. You might feel fun. You might feel joy! You might feel celebration and delight. You might feel fascinated and in awe of nature. You might feel wonder.

Good feelings open the doorway to attract more of the same. When you are feeling wonderful you open yourself up. You might feel peaceful, secure, relaxed, at-ease, confident. Feel good and vibrate high! When you feel good you invite more of the same and better.

You Are Either Positive Or Negative – Choose

Withdraw you energy and attention from less than glorious news, gossip and worries. Focus on the wonderful, the inspiring, the magnificent. Feel yourself as a powerful, positive creator. Feel it now. Not sometime in the future but now. Feel it as already done!

Decide to see what is going right and you will see it! Decided to feel it first and you will have it! Yearning reinforces the absence of what you want and blocks you from getting it. Feeling fulfilled means more can come your way! Being fulfilled means you make it happen.

Feel fulfilled first and you will open the doors to being blessed beyond belief. Stop longing and start feeling what you want already accomplished.  Make your life the way you have always wanted it to be. Create it! Attract it by making your energy irresistible!” Rex Sikes
