How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want PT 6

Leave a comment

garbage in garbage out

…It begins the moment you decide! You send deliberate clear signals, messages, you communicate articulately with your unconscious mind and your unconscious gets it.

The method to get what you want IS the very SAME process people usually use to get what they DON’T want. It works in either direction. It is a process that works reliably. It never stops working.

NOW, we will use the very same process BUT instead of focusing on what we don’t want we put all of our attention on what we do want. We use the same process but DELIBERATELY NOW to create what we DO want.”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Part 5

“Do you now understand how the mechanism works to get you either wanted or unwanted results? You see, it doesn’t care what is manifested, it simply operates because of the instructions, or messages, or signals that it repeatedly gets.

Again, this is how people attract and create money problems, anger, sadness, arguments with others, etc. Problems are created or enhanced or multiplied because one focuses on what one doesn’t want during most of their thinking time.

The person focuses on what they don’t have or what they lack instead of the opposite. They perpetuate their problems when they relive negative circumstances over and over in their mind and feel bad about it.

youa are creators

How many times have you relived an argument with someone? It usually does nothing to make us feel better. Instead, most of us  end up with looking for what we could have said or done to have trumped the other person. Usually we just feel more resentment or more anger while looking for ways to get even. It doesn’t help us get over it, let go of it and move forward feeling wonderful. That usually only comes about through forgiveness and acceptance.

Because people are spending much or most of their time in that ‘negative’ fashion it ensures they will get more of it. It is a vicious circle that needs to be broken. They look at their life and feel bad.

When they feel bad they feel worse and think nothing will help and then feel worse some more. Then they imagine the worst happening and feel even more bad. Whether the worst happens or not they spend most of their time feeling down, helpless and hopeless.

So many of us live this way much of the time. BUT there is another way to live! It may seem unfamiliar because you haven’t spent much time living that way BUT the good news is you do the very same thing you have always been doing ONLY you use better content. You focus on the positive instead. Since the mechanism is reliable you will get the results you want, no matter how long you have lived your life the other way.

everything is energy einstein

For example, your television set doesn’t care whether the program aired is a great program or a lousy one. It just shows them regardless. You decide what you spend your time watching. If you spend time with bad programs whose decision is that? Choose to fill your mind with better material.

You must start the new way of thinking and stick with it to make it the same reliable habit as its thought predecessor. You must learn to spend the bulk of your time with positive thoughts and feelings because you can! Stop the negative and start the positive. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

SO you keep these positive images in your mind  and you drive it home by your positive feelings. You make it a habit through repetition.

You aren’t begging to get it, because in your mind you already got it.

So you don’t ask over and over again. You have made it clear what you want.

thoughts cycle to thoughts

You reinforce what you want to occur through repetition. You see it as already yours. You keep it alive with the wonderful feelings and you visit it often through out each day. When you do this repeatedly through much of the day you are building your positive muscle and forming a new positive habit.

Do this more times than you think negatively and you will spend most of your time thinking and feeling positive. We get what we predominantly think about. We always have and always will manifest our dominant thoughts. Hence, we become what we think about.”

I know you can do this! So do it repeatedly and enjoy! Have a fantastic day!’

desire back by faith

…”The present is a result of all your thoughts in the past. Your future is what all your thoughts are up until now. You create your life experience. If you aren’t please with what you have been getting you can get better results. It is all up to you! Everything begins with the next thought you think.

You are the creator of your future and there is only one creator.”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 4

“As we have been moving forward with these posts what I hope becomes obvious is that you must become clear on what it is you want. You need to define it and be specific. You  attach a deadline to it and then imagine it as if you already have all of it. You imagine living that life after the deadline has arrived and you have what you wanted. (more about this in upcoming posts).

You make positive pictures in your mind and feel energized, eager and expectant as you look at them. Experience it all as vividly, wonderfully and powerfully as you are able.

any idea plan repetition of thought Napoleon Hill

Once you get absolutely clear on what you want to become, and do and have – you have initiated the process. The moment you know what you want absolutely you begin making it happen within you.

I repeat: When you precisely define what you want to create in your future and you feel excited and anticipate it happening you began making it happen. It begins the instant you get clear on what it is you want. It begins the moment you decide!

You send deliberate clear signals, messages, you communicate articulately with your unconscious mind and your unconscious gets it.

The method to get what you want IS the very SAME process people usually use to get what they DON’T want. It works in either direction. It is a process that works reliably. It never stops working.

NOW, we will use the very same process BUT instead of focusing on what we don’t want we put all of our attention on what we do want. We use the same process but DELIBERATELY NOW to create what we DO want.

We all are doing it all of the time. You have already been using this process all along whether you are aware of it or not.  Now is the time to use it purposefully to make life grand.

ask for what you want and be prepared to get it

Once you have decided on you definite chief purpose your unconscious receives the message because you make it a clear deliberate image AND BECAUSE you attach powerful positive feelings  to it.

The strong positive feels are what ramps it into action. It now knows what you want and that you really truly want it because you spend the bulk of your time thinking and feeling powerfully about it.

You keep the positive images in your mind  and you drive all of it home by your positive feelings.The better you feel the more quickly you make it all happen. You make it a habit through repetition.

Strong feelings whether positive or negative always reinforce whatever it is we are thinking about. We get back wanted or unwanted by what we spend most of our time thinking about and how we feel when we do.

This why we get more back of whatever we experience. It is why we get more of what we don’t want at times. It is also why we muddy the waters and get poor results. (more on this in the next post).

If we are sometimes positive and then sometimes negative we don’t have a clear course to our destination. We do and then undo the results over and over again instead of moving swiftly toward where we want to be and what we want to have. This is why thinking and feeling positive most of the time makes all the difference in the world.

thoughts cycle to thoughts

SO you want to keep these positive images in your mind  and keep feeling the very best you are able to during the day. Your pair positive image with great feelings and your unconscious understand that. You drive your visualization home by your positive feelings.

We create habits through repetition and you do want to make it a habit. So through you do this frequently throughout the day purposefully, each day until it becomes automatic for you.

This is why it is important to do something that is benefits you each day.  You do not have to be obsessed about it. Be relaxed and have fun but act in your own best interests whenever you can or remember to. The results are exponential and cumulative. You ultimately will get back way more than the effort you put into it.

But you do have to begin. You do have to do something if you want your life to change. You will have stay with it until you get the results you want. Most people don’t act with volition. Most people drift along pushed in whatever direction by circumstances and other people. Your life will measurable change immediately for the better once you take charge and live with purpose!

Do it today! Stay with it today! Enjoy all that you can make happen in time!” Rex Sikes

Have a pleasant day discovering wonderful moments!

you are responsible for your experinces

…”Spend 5 minutes, 10, 30 minutes a day deliberately using your imagination to create what you want. Close your eyes and relax and visualize.

Re-read what you wrote down at least twice a day. Read it with all the gusto and energy and enthusiasm you can muster. Be alive, feel incredible and bring this energy to all that you think and do…”

Continued from  How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 3

“It would be great if you would spend at least 30 minutes each day visualizing what you want. That is not too much to ask. Up the amount, increase it as you are able. Commit to it.

If you want that future be willing to pay the price for it. Morning or night spend some concentrated time. Whenever you can throughout the day spend a minute or more living it in your mind.

Relax and enjoy seeing yourself in your future.

When you see it and can hold it in your head you will eventually hold it in your hand. Expect it, anticipate it, believe it, know that it is already yours.

What you focus on and spend your time concentrating on is what the unconscious mind works on making happen. It organizes your behaviors around creating and attracting what it is you want.

It helps you go after what you desire and make bring it into being.

It is not magic it only seems like magic. It accesses your inner resources and talents and abilities so you will move forward.

This process, the servo mechanism works to bring about the wanted or unwanted. IT doesn’t care about the end result it only follows orders.

BUT YOU care!

winners visualize and look forward

So fill it with wonderful, positive, clear instructions and it will do what you order it to do. Give it the best instructions and the best life to create and it will work to make that happen. It will co-operate and follow your clear orders. What you think and how you think is important when it comes to what the servo mechanism recognizes.

The unconscious mind is a servo mechanism. It’s job is to deliver to you what you spend most of your time thinking about. If you haven’t deliberately chosen your thoughts and goals before, now IS the time. If you have let it do whatever it does while you have drifted thorugh life, NOW is the time to take charge. If you have gotten too many unwanted results NOW IS the time for you to make all of  it different.

Provide concise, clear instructions aligned with powerful positive dynamic feelings and your life will  begin to change! If it is going to be any different at all it will be because you step in and tell the servo mechanism what to do. I have covered what to do multiple times. So now do it. Don’t delay do it today!

The present is a result of all your thoughts in the past. Your future is what all your thoughts are up until now. You create your life experience. If you aren’t please with what you have been getting you can get better results. It is all up to you! Everything begins with the next thought you think.

You are the creator of your future and there is only one creator.” Rex Sikes

happiness depends on quality of your thoughts

“…When you watch the movie you should feel incredible because everything you wanted you now have! It is your movie make it what you want. You are the writer, the producer, the director and the star make it what you want it to be! Spend time visualizing in this way. I will discuss more in the next post. Begin today…”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 2

“As with all exercise and abilities we get better with practice.  Do the best you are able to. You may surprise yourself with how easy it is. If it is not so easy at first, it will become easier as you continue to do this. Regardless, of how well or how poorly you do this deliberate visualization you must know and understand that you are already doing some version of it in your head most of the time.

Re-read that last sentence. You are already using the power of visualization to get the results you currently are getting. You bring about your circumstances. It all begins first within.

Your results are the end product of how you are already using your mind. Your life is the result of what you are already doing with or without awareness. You have or don’t have whatever it is in life because of how you have been and are presently using or not using your mind. There is no blame nor shame in that. You have been doing whatever you have been doing.

It brings you whatever your dominant thoughts are. If you focus on lack and not having enough and you don’t have all you want or need is it any wonder why. The problem is compounded because then when people don’t have enough they continue to worry about it and think about it.

don't sit around waiting forwaever

If you want more you have to create more and that starts with your thinking process. You have to imagine and see and create what you want and stop focusing on what you don’t want. You bring about whatever you think about.

For many people they get wish washy results because they are 50/50 in their thinking. If most of your thinking is negative and your life is very much not how you want it you need to create much more positivity. You need to shift the balance over to the positive side. If you are 80% positive you are probably doing pretty well.

If you want to get better results you will have to bring some deliberate purpose to what you do and change some of what you are already doing. Then you can begin to get incredible results and my guess is that is what you would like to be getting.

Realize that you bring about what you think about.

Spend at time visualizing and creating what you want.  If you have to do it in increments whenever you are able. Spend 5 minutes, 10, 30 minutes a day deliberately using your imagination to create what you want. Close your eyes and relax and visualize.

Re-read what you wrote down at least twice a day. Read it with all the gusto and energy and enthusiasm you can muster. Be alive, feel incredible and bring this energy to all that you think and do.” Rex Sikes

OK more next time. Enjoy this beautiful day!

nothing great was achieved without enthusiasm emerson

“…You can develop the ability to use anyone of these senses to a much greater degree by deliberately choosing to exercise your abilities. They ALL work powerfully in us (assuming no neurological impairment) whether we exercise control or not, whether we are consciously aware or not of them. We are influenced by our internal activity. Those who succeed typically already know how to work with their inner world powerfully to get positive results…”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 1

“In order to create the results you want you first have to know exactly what you want. The successful people know where they want to end up before they begin. The destination and the end results motivates and drives them to get it. In the car analogy they know where they want to go so that they can head in that direction prior to starting the car. They are not random but are targeted in their choices.

I have recommended writing it down in detail with a deadline. Be specific. When you write, whether you have been aware of it or not you are using the mental movies and images, sounds and feelings. SO write it down and make it as precise and vivid as you are able.

Referring back to the analogy, when you write down your purpose, you clarify what you want and determine where it is you want to end up. You know your destination and your arrival time or deadline. It means looking at the end result, the destination, examining it and adding to it to make it precisely what you want to create. If it doesn’t excite you it isn’t what you should be working on.

think act speak affirm positivity

Find whatever it is you are most passionate about, what you must have, that you always wanted, and work on that instead. The destination you go after is one you absolutely feel you must be, want to go to, and enjoy most in life. If you aren’t completely sold on the destination you ‘ain’t gonna git thar!’

Picture it in your mind and see everything you want. See it in detail, make it full, vibrant, real in your mind. Make it an inner movie of how the future IS different, how it is better, how it is wonderful. See the positive future you. Look at yourself in detail and do you like what you see?

This is the YOU you have always wanted to be. SO become that person already in your mind. (If this were a fantasy and you could have it any way then imagine it – keep it real though, leave out magical flying and abilities and super powers.) Just imagine yourself as the successful, confident, loving, life affirming, kind, gentle, helpful, healthy, wealthy person you can become if you are not already.

Imagine your definite chief purpose, or your major aim in life, your major dream and your biggest goal as if you have already made it come true. Imagine your life as you want it to be. Script it. Make it as rich and full and wonderful as you are able to.

whatever we plant in our subconscious

See and hear and feel that future completely.  See yourself as already the person you want to be.  Notice how you look and how you feel and sound as you move and interact. Watch yourself behave as that person would.

Watch yourself do everything that future you does and look at all you have all made happen. This future is the culmination of your positive thoughts and efforts. In this visualization you have made it all happen and you are enjoying the results and rewards. This is the end result of your hard work. This future is your prize!

Watch this movie! Run movies in your head of THAT future you when everything already is realized and you are enjoying it. When you watch the movie you should feel incredible because everything you wanted you now have!

It is your movie make it what you want! You are the writer, the producer, the director and the star so make it what you want it to be!

Spend time visualizing in this way. I will discuss more in the next post. Begin today.”  Rex Sikes

Savor the seconds, make marvelous the moments and honor the hours, delight in this day!

see clearly visualize goals

“..The results they get are due to the conditioning and training they undergo. They built the skills and habits needed to play and perform successfully, optimally. The truly successful people in this world do exactly the same thing. They know how to use their mind to get what they want and that organizes all of their efforts…”

Continued from  Are You Using Your Brain To Get What You Want

“We make sense of the outer world by recreating it on the inside and we do this by pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes and smells. We use our five senses within and without to. We see pictures and movies in our minds while walking and talking and driving and computing with our eyes open and engaged, or while daydreaming, and or with our eyes closed napping or sleeping.

Memories are what we see, hear and feel, and what we imagine and remember on the inside. As we move through life we collect memories. We may be deeply, profoundly touched by the power of a positive or not so positive memory. Some memories may bring about nearly the same feelings each time we recall them.

We can close our eyes and imagine our present right now where we are as we read this, we can with eyes closed recall and see what surrounds us. We can hear both what is going on outside of us, noises and we can hear our inner thoughts, noises and voice as well. We can presently feel what we feel, our emotions and sensations or our butts against the surface of some material we sit or recline on.

We can also see future events happen in our mind, imaginary and unlikely or likely scenarios that we picture, hear, feel and respond to that have not happened yet. We can see happy future events and feel good about them or we can look at unwanted anticipated events and feel anxious or fearful.

Assuming we have all these neurological five senses or faculties intact and unimpaired we are able to do these. We all seem to have lead systems. Some people see images in their mind quickly then hear and feel. Or see, feel and hear. Another person may lead with sounds then see and feel or feel and see their movies. Others may lead off with the feeling and then images and sounds or vice versa. Smells and tastes likewise trigger full associations or memories, or pictures, sounds and feelings. Typically, it all happens very quickly.

visualize and believe

I point this out because some people may claim a difficulty with whichever sense they are attempting to work with. Some might say I don’t see my pictures very well. In that case, listen or feel first and discover what happens to bring about the full representation. Explore playfully and find out which sense seems better developed or which you are better able to manipulate or work with.

We will explore more of this in more detail in upcoming times. Still, you can develop the ability to use anyone of these senses to a much greater degree by deliberately choosing to exercise your abilities. They ALL work powerfully in us (again assuming no neurological impairment) whether we exercise control or not, whether we are consciously aware or not of them. We are influenced by our internal activity. Those who succeed typically already know how to work with their inner world powerfully to get positive results.” Rex Sikes

More tomorrow. Have an incredible day!

How To Stop Screwing Up and How To Start Getting What You Want Most In Life

Leave a comment

change what is going on within you

“This is the method for you to begin creating what you want the most in life.

Determine what you want that you must have! What is it you want that you are totally passionate about? What were you born to do? What is your ultimate chief purpose in life? What trips your trigger? See it in your mind’s eye. See it as detailed as possible. Use all of the senses. See it in full color, a movie, sights and sounds, feelings tastes and smells. Make it a complete sensory experience.

Write it down in detail with a deadline date. It is said there are no unrealistic goals only unrealistic deadlines. What is a realistic timeframe for you to get everything you desire? Put down the date.

Think about all of this in your mind as though you already have it. Your deadline came to pass you got everything you wanted what is it like to be living this dream now? How does it feel? What do you look, sound and feel like? What do you say to yourself? What are others saying about you? Immerse yourself in this ‘future, present’ reality where you are and have and are doing every thing you wanted. Savor it.

Do this daily imagine it fully and vividly. Plus, read what you wrote down. Be excited about it, enthusiastic. Be as a little kid waiting on holiday gifts. You know fully the gifts are coming and you just can’t wait. You are so eager, Live with passion and enthusiasm and confidence it making your future come true.

Focus on what you want, see it clearly in your mind’s eye.  Focus on WHY you want it. Think about and list all the positive reasons you must have this come to pass. Explore how you and others will be better as a result. Remember your future can come to pass more swiftly if you do no harm and others benefit as a result of you making your dreams come true. When they win AND you win then everyone can help each other. It is said, ‘you can have anything you want in life when you help others get what they want in life’. Remember this. Apply the Golden Rule.

Focus on what want and why you want it instead of on HOW you are going to get it and you will be much happier. The how will come along even though you can’t yet see it. The how will come about as a result of your thinking about it and concentrating about it day and night. You hold the positive image in your mind and charge it with your positive energy and feelings and as you do your whole being is filled with it. Plans and notions, insights and intuitions will begin to come your way. Take notice.

Practice present day gratitude and thankfulness. Appreciate what you have, where you have been. Be thankful for all of life’s challenges, lessons and opportunities. Celebrate all the positive and what you do have. Focus on abundance and not on lack. Focus on manifesting your dreams not problems or issues in the present.

Even if everything crumbles around you stay focused on what it is you want.

Do not get caught up in how you can’t yet see how you will do it. No one knows how they will do anything until after the complete it. So focus on what and why. Concentrate on all the happy, joyous, wonderful moments and not on how and you WILL manifest what you want.

im a product of my decisions

You get what you expect in life. Expect good things!  Even if you can’t see them or can’t yet see how you will have them, expect good things and you will get good things. Expect the worst, because crap is happening around you, and you will get more of what you expect.

Stay focused and do not give up. Expect it and you will have it. The future belongs to you. You create the future with your present thoughts so think the very best.

I have shared many different aspects of creating your future and what you may wish to do. I have discussed what to do if you have any difficulty. Go back and re-visit and re-read frequently. You can do this! You can make all your dreams come true. Have faith and have faith in yourself. More Next Time!” Rex Sikes

In how many different ways do you suppose you can you discover yourself delighting in today that put a smile on your lips?

Do You Know Your Power?

Leave a comment

your future begins w your next thought

“The beginning of all creation, of all creative endeavors, is to see it in your mind. Everything first begins with thought. What you think about constantly is what you get. What thoughts occupy your mind?

The one thing you absolutely can take control of IS your thinking. You must be rigorous, dedicated, persistent in learning how to control your thoughts because for so long you just let them run on of their own accord. If you don’t take control of your thoughts they will control you – they already do.

Start today by deciding to create what you want in your life and then keep at it. Never give up and you will learn how to steer your mind to the positive thought that allow you to flourish. You will create plans that you will make happen. You first must initiate the process, stick with the process to reap what you sow.

BECAUSE you already are reaping what you have been sowing. Your present is the result of what you previously sowed. 

Consider this: Whatever you are currently thinking, most of the time during your days, is creating your future. Your present thoughts determine your future reality. Don’t you think it is about time you took charge of the process?

Now is the time to take deliberate control and create all the good you want to include in your life. Think positive!” Rex Sikes

I hope your day is astonishing!

Action IS the proper fruit of knowledge.

Leave a comment

Lake Geneva, Switzerland

“Understanding and application make the difference in making your life what you want it to be not reading or memorizing. Information does not change us. It is what we do with the information that can transform us.

People think that if they read about something they will somehow be better off. Having information can be useful but only when you apply it correctly. Many people want to read about personal change or NLP techniques but they never DO anything with the information they gain. They just read about it. Sadly, that is their loss.

For example, studies have demonstrated that the act of reading a book on bike riding is not the equivalent of bike riding. Different areas of the brain are utilized. So reading about it doesn’t do much to add to the ability if you want to learn to ride a bike. Once you already know how, reading may add to you knowledge and inform you about some things you may wish to try.

However, imagining riding a bike, seeing yourself on the bike watching yourself peddling and steering that is a good brain work out. Also imagining what it is like to be on it from the rider’s perspective, what do you see, hear, feel as you balance and ride, feel the bumps  etc.  Living it in your imagination does utilize portions of the brain for riding and actually activates at the micro-muscle level the very same muscles used when riding. When imagining riding vividly you are actually experiencing it in the brain at some level.

This is true if you imagine yourself playing tennis, swimming, golfing, making a sales phone call or any activity you might engage in.

You can rehearse the activity in your imagination and get some benefit. So while reading about something may illuminate and increase awareness it is only by doing something with those insights that makes a real difference for us. You have to act on it.

One question useful to ask ourselves is: Are you interested in where you want to go, what you want to do and what you can accomplish or are you more interested in defending where you are now and why you are there? The honest answer determines a lot. If you want to move forward you will act. If you wish to remain the same you will provide reasons.

Your present state or condition is nothing more than the physical manifestation of your previous thinking. If you want to get different results in your physical world and have a different life you must immediately change your thinking and not defend where you are at.

For most people their present situation determines how they think and feel. The outer controls the inner. In fact, it is your thoughts that determine the results and the life you get. The inner actually controls and dictates the outer.

If you are fearful, or negative life is not much fun. If you are confident and loving you probably enjoy it much more. Your inner being determines who you are, how you move and act in the world, and what you get. You are where you are because of where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. You can not escape the results of you thoughts.

In order to behave in a new reality you must first be able to conceive of a new reality. It begins inside you head. You must see it first inside you in order to create it on the outside. All our art, music, product is created this way. An architect sees it on the inside, puts it on paper, then builds from the paper a physical replica of what they imagined. Inner begets the outer whether good or bad.

So if you want things in your life to change you must change things in your life. Napoleon Hill stated “Any idea held in the mind, that is emphasized (feared or revered) begins at once to clothe itself in the most convenient and appropriate form available” Said differently, we attract whatever we think about and feel emotional about.

Joy is a strong feeling so is worry and fear and doubt. Whatever you are thinking and whatever strong emotions you are feeling you are perpetuating. If you look around and see lack and problems you keep thinking, feeling and having them. This IS the outer controlling the inner. We look at the present feel bad and get more of the same.

We need to ignore the present and look to what we want to create. We need to see in our mind what we WANT rather than what is or what we don’t want. We imagine what we want  first on the inside. Hill also said “What we can conceive and believe we can achieve.” Conceive it, create it in your imagination first, feel good about it and believe you will have it and you will.

Heck, that is already what is going on. You have already been creating your life whether you have realized it or not. That is precisely what has been happening.

Whatever your present life is like is the result of your previous thinking.  So reading about it is not going to help. It is only by putting into action the principles and practices that will make an incredible difference. See a new better glorious future and you can have it.

Van Gough said “I see the painting in my dream and then I paint my dream.” You can create it.

Become the change you want to be in your life! Activate your attitude and move forward. You can create what you want because you have always been creator. Perhaps, you created and attracted lots that you didn’t want but you can change that now. Decide what good you want and take charge of the creation process. Make your life what you want it to be.

Today’s thoughts become tomorrow’s reality.” Rex Sikes

if we did all we are capable of edison

“I never know how things are going to work out but I have learned that things always work out for the best when you have the right attitude. When I think positive and feel positive I act positive. When I feel confident and hopeful and joyful I know whatever situation comes my way I am able to handle it. I know I am able to handle it better when I am feeling my best than otherwise. So I continue to do those things that allow me to move in the direction of being optimal.

When I have faith and believe in myself I know no matter what comes I am resourceful to be able to handle it. I know when I am thankful and filled with gratitude challenges, while there, are considered opportunities to learn, grow and change for the better. When I feel blessed nothing can stop me.

So each day I make time to put my head on straight and think the best thoughts, find the best feelings and take the best actions in my behalf. I aim at my long term and short term goals and determine to make my dreams come true. Throughout the day I make whatever adjustments I have to – to stay this way. Sometimes it is very easy, sometimes it is much more difficult but I keep going. I have learned no matter what to always persevere.

When I am feeling the finest I know incredible things are coming my way even if I am not yet able to see them. As a result of my attitude I find more opportunities and doors opening up. I make it a point to think of myself as a magnet attracting all good things. I mean, why the heck not?

I prefer how I am when I feel this way. Do I ever get down, sure. When that happens I notice it, accept it as a signal that something needs my attention to get back into harmony. I don’t fight it I am learning to not resist. Whatever we resist persists. I’d rather turn resistance into assistance and move forward. So I return back to what I want and focus on that.

It is no different than going to a buffet. There are things I like, really enjoy and savor. There are items on the buffet I am not crazy about or downright don’t like. When I encounter something I don’t like I do not get bent out of shape about it, instead I move on to something I like. I choose what I want, what I like. I don’t spend the rest of my dinner worried about or thinking about what I didn’t like or want I spend the time enjoying what I want to enjoy. My focus is on what I want not what I don’t want.

I am finding when I focus on what I desire and want I get more of it. I keep my eye on this no matter what the present moment is like. I choose where to place my awareness. In doing so I find I am creating all sorts of wonderful moments in life.

I am no expert believe me but I am so much better today than I was a while back. It has come at a cost. The cost is effort each day and never quitting regardless how what is going on or how I feel. Is it worth it? OH GOD ABSOLUTELY! The return on investment is staggering beyond anything I could have imagined. Well being has been so under-rated.

I am so blessed and finding more each moment. Life is good, life is great, life is grand!

One of my favorite passages is from the Bible. “This is the day the lord has made rejoice and be glad in it”

Whether one believes in a lord or not doesn’t matter to me. The potent message to pay attention to is the same. This is the day we have rejoice and be glad!!!

I find this is a far better choice of how to spend any day than sad, angry, confused or hopeless. Happiness, faith, good feelings are always a choice. SO I am rejoicing and being glad.

Believe me when I say this, if I can enjoy my life and make positive changes for myself, ANYONE can. We are all the same in spirit. I have no advantage in positive thinking at all.

As I stated happiness in life it comes at a price and that prices is to decide each moment to be happy instead of otherwise. To decide to look for the best instead of otherwise. To decide to maintain your focus no matter what appears otherwise or what challenges there may be. To decide if you ever get off track to return and get on track as quickly as you are able. To decide to go first and put it out there because no one else can do it for you. To decide to accept and let go of problems and look for solutions as cheerfully as possible. To decide be thankful for each moment and to live with gratitude. To decide to celebrate and rejoice frequently each day.

Is it worth it? Absolutely?

It is really quite simple, and easy enough to do. Especially, if you decide to think about it that way.

I started small. I began reading a chapter a day of inspirational material and made the commitment to do so for no less than 30 days. Sometimes, I read more. What I read, I put to work as best I was able. Tiny steps, little things. I wrote down my goals and desires. I jotted down my thoughts and insights whenever I could. I ask myself questions that directed my mind where I wanted to have it go and repeated these often through the day. I used some morning time and before bed time to remember and visualize what I want to be like and include in my life. I decided I would stay with it. There were plenty of challenging times too. Whenever I could throughout the day I would return my mind to these positive practices.

I kept quiet about this too. I informed no one. I went about my business and didn’t attempt to convince others to join me.

After the month I wanted to continue. I felt like I wanted to keep going so I did. I had learned and benefited so much during that time. So I keep on. I take it day by day and moment by moment. After all that is how life comes to us. As I progressed it became easier, more natural and more of a habit. I found myself much happier, healthier, positive and powerful.

I made it a point to consider this next thought as truth whether it is or is not. “I am where my thoughts brought me. I will be where my thoughts take me” I determined to have my thoughts, feelings and actions serve me by deciding where I want to go.

I think of it as no different than deciding to go on a vacation. I determine where I want to go and I go. I enjoy the traveling all along the way while eager to get to my destination. Since I know where I want to go I know I will get there as long as I continue to move towards it. I decide to do whatever I can to make it the most fun and exciting and wonderful trip possible.

Really, that is what I do. The cost – worth every bit of effort a million times over . If I can do this so can anyone else. So can you. It is easier than you think, and it is simple to do. Begin by reading only a page of inspirational material a day, make it manageable but commit to doing something very positive for yourself. Heck, if nothing else practice gratitude as often as you can. What we sow we reap!

Celebrate and delight!  AND always keep in mind: This is a day the lord has made – be glad and rejoice in it!!!” Rex Sikes
