Why You Have So Many Troubles

2 Comments

“When trouble or difficulty arises, when doors close, look to see what other doors open. The trouble is there for you to find a new path, a new friend, a new way to be. It exists so you can walk down new avenues. These are gifts that come into your life. Do you see?

While focused only on the trouble you miss the good that is now yours. Were it not for the trouble this good would not be there now. The calamity is the way this new good makes its way to you. You gained a friend, an ear, a confidant, a lover. You gained much more.

Whenever troubles come be vigilant to the positive changes that come your way too. Inside the adversity are learnings and seeds of opportunity. Blessings abound. Be grateful. Look and see. Consider all a blessing. Say thank you, thank you. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

To Get Stellar Results Discover Your Power Is To Choose!

Leave a comment

My life transformed. Part 5. I learned that regardless of what was going on I could decide how to feel and think about it. I was the one in charge. Just be cause bad things happened I didn’t have to chose to be unhappy. I had lived that way for years, without choice.

Now, I began to exercise my choices. When I became the person who chose what to think and feel, everything changed for me. I was clearer in my thinking, I enjoyed each moment more. I found more delight in simple things. I felt better. I was open to more things.

I discovered opportunities I might not have otherwise. I met new people and engaged in new activities. It was as if a whole new world opened up. It was absolutely worth it to begin this process. It is a journey. Beginning it changed everything. It kept getting better!

Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge

It all begins with awareness and choice. I became aware that things weren’t working, that they hadn’t been working, and decided I needed to change. I chose to implement a daily ritual which was centered on awareness, choice and shifting from neg to positive.

Everything begins this way. There is magnificent power in becoming aware and making a decision. A decision is a choice I committed to making work. I decided, do or die, I would do this and see it through. In that instant everything began changing. And keeps getting better.

Everything has changed for the better. Speed bumps along the way have been blessings because I chose to look at them this way. As I did I noticed things I would have never noticed and became capable of living in ways I never ever had before. It became glorious. Freeing!

What You Can Conceive And Believe You Can Achieve

Anyone can do this. Anyone, even you, can begin right now! I’ll share more next time, but realize to not decide, is to already have made a decision. Choose life over death. Choose positivity over negativity. Choose awareness. Choose to take control and make your life grand!

Everything changes and gets better and better when you do. Choose to look at everything as a blessing. Choose to find the lesson and opportunity in adversity. Choose to realize all hardship is only temporary. Choose to find the good. Choose to celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Opportunity, Overcoming Difficulty, Responsibility, Right Action

You Live Within Infinite Possibilities And Opportunities!

Leave a comment

“Consider this: Research indicates we live inside our perceptions, our thoughts and dreams. What we expect frequently comes to pass. Self-fulfilling prophecy happens. We either do or don’t do based on whether we think we can or not. Believing determines seeing!

Chairs didn’t exist  util someone thought one up. Any human creation we enjoy in the world first originated in thought. Whether from need or pleasure we make thoughts. Then we can make thoughts into things. This isn’t even in dispute. We are creators.

Hence, we have unlimited possibilities available to us at all times. It is only a matter of how big we dream, how often we dream and whether we care enough to translate those dreams into reality. Anything is possible if we believe it is. No, I’m not talking nonsense.

What You Can Conceive and Believe You Can Achieve

All of human kind has benefited, and suffered, at the hands of dreamers. People with a vision have created awesome, wonderful things as well as terrible, inhuman things, all by translating their thoughts into action; by believing they could and would. They did.

Opportunities abound endlessly around us and within us. We only need to open our eyes, get out of our way, bypass our limitations and create what we want to create. Many of us are good at creating a mess. Don’t you think it is time you learned how to create beauty?

You can and you will when you apply AND master basic principles that have been with us since the dawn of human kind. When you do so many doors open up. Your brain and you, your mind and thoughts, feelings and actions, work together congruently to get results.

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

If your life isn’t what you want it to be, or you don’t know how to create what you want, it is time you learn! Stop wasting time and your life. You never get your time back! Start living today the life you always hoped you would. Stop being stuck! Stop creating a mess.

Begin to get the results you want by creating them. Learn to take control of your thoughts and aim them at producing powerful and positive results that you and others can enjoy. It works when you work it. Don’t delay. Start today AND celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Acceptance, Challenges, Decision, Opportunity

Your Greatest Power Is In Making Decisions

Leave a comment

“When you decide to move forward all of your inner resources align to make that happen.  When you make a congruent decision everything can positively change for you. Tremendous power, positivity and potential combine the instant you truly decide.

You set in motion forward movement. Once you decide, anything, it is important to take some action steps towards fulfilling it within 24 – 48 hours. Taking some action, no matter how small, tells your brain you are serious about the decision you made. So, follow through.

At the same time, all of your subconscious beliefs, limitations, conflict or issues rear their ugly head. This is why doubts occur. You make a decision to change and then face doubt. Don’t worry. Relax. It is a normal part of the transformation process. It really is.

A Decision Has The Power To Transform Your Life In An Instant

For example, you think,  ‘I’m going to be more loving to my children, or partner, no matter what.’ As soon as you make that decision, the subconscious, the universe, infinite intelligence, or god, whatever you call it, gives you every opportunity to adhere to that decision.

You may get every kind of behavior from them, or circumstances or event that seems to challenge your ability to remain loving. Conflicts arise. Issues now face you. You just want to be loving no matter what and now the shit hits the fan. What is up with that? What gives?

Well guess what? You face these ‘dilemmas’ in order to learn how to remain loving no matter what. These are situations for you to learn, develop, evolve and grow by because, otherwise, what would your decision or pledge be worth? Your ability to remain loving is tested.

Everything Changes – Become Aware – Delight In The Process

The universe conspires to make you the best you there is. In order to be the best at what you decided you have to clear out those blocks, those issues, those limiting beliefs, those negative thoughts and doubts that prevent you from being loving at all times. Get it?

If it were easy, you never have to make the decision. You get that? You get the experiences you need as a means of educating you, teaching you, and assisting you in becoming the better person you decided to be. Resistance makes muscles grow stronger.

It doesn’t matter what you decide. If you decide you want to become rich, you can bet you will most likely face every issue about poverty and money difficulties and lack that you harbor within you. They’ll come flying up in your face. This is a good thing! It really is! Get it?

If You Always Do What You Did You’ll Always Get What You Got

How else will you ever get rid of, or drop, that old prior conditioning that has held you back. You encounter it so you can let it go and move forward. Whatever you decide, the counter side of it will come at you. Most people run from this. They complain. They whine.

They blame god, the universe, the economy, other people, and claim the universe sucks and nothing to is working. BUT it IS totally working! It’s helping make you a better you!  It’s a blessing in disguise! It IS an opportunity. Please, understand this. Please!

It appears to suck but it is offering you everything you need to move forward and go higher. It is assisting you. It’s helping you live from your decision and the commitment you made. Yes,  you’ll be challenged.  You’ll be tested. This is a good thing! Feel grateful.

You Always Have The Power To Choose

You are blessed. Be thankful! You have the opportunity to let go and transform. Diamonds are created under pressure.  When those moments come, even if you succumb to them, even if you aren’t loving every moment, this is how you learn to be. Fall, get up!

You get tested. You pass. You get tested. You fail. You fall. You get up and get tested again. You pass or you fail. It is a process. In this process  IS how you become more loving, or become rich, or whatever it is you want. You grow by being challenged.

You evolve through being forced to be loving, or maintain the faith, in situations when it would seem reasonable to not be. When you get this, and if you understand this point, so much of your life will change. There is great power in making a decision! It’s good!

You Are Choosing Every Moment Whether Or Not You Realize It

Just know, that when you do, you’ll have the opportunity to encounter the opposite of what you’re hoping for, as a clearinghouse, to become the best you possible. You should be grateful. Be happy and celebrate all of it. Appreciate the process.

Lessons keep coming until you actually get it. Once you have learned and you have altered you’re mindset, your feelings, and your behaviors; once you have transformed, you don’t need the lessons anymore. You only need them until you get it. Do you get this?

These circumstances, issues and doubts come up, again and again, so that you can see them, recognize and become aware of them and drop them. They are flashlights illuminating what otherwise would be left in darkness. They arise so you can move past them.

I Am  A Product Of My Decisions Not Because Of Circumstances

It is a blessing that won’t seem like it unless you make it a point to recognize it as a blessing. If you say, ‘oh my god it’s happening again! Why is it happening? Why do these things always happen to me? What’s wrong? Why am I doing these crappy things?’

Then you’ll stay that way because what you focus on is what you get more of. If you blame yourself, or others, and whine and complain about yourself, and your behaviors, or theirs, the challenges you get, you will never get past them. Instead, you will perpetuate them.

Because you will spend all your time with whining and blaming and complaining. In order to get past this and evolve you need to accept the process, recognize it for what it is and be thankful. It truly is a blessing helping you release old crappy conditioning.

Your Destiny Is Shaped By The Decision You Make – Celebrate

Your decision triggered it. Be glad! Contained within adversity are seeds of opportunity. You get that which seems ‘not so good’, the challenges, along with all the real cool things that can occur as a result of your decision. Move forward boldly and with compassion.

Make decisions. Follow through. Accept the process and enjoy all of it. Your entire life can now transform for the positive in incredible ways. Transformation means you trans-form. Things change and become different. You rise from the ashes a Phoenix. Love yourself, be grateful and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How You Can Change Habitual Filters To See More Clearly

Leave a comment

“Do you know what a filter does? It allows some things through while capturing or not permitting other things through. Think, coffee filter. Water passes through it, releasing the coffee, but preventing the grounds. Grounds are trapped, but you still enjoy the coffee.

We all have filters. We have chronic old habitual filters that prevent us from seeing what is actually there. From these we live out beliefs and thoughts and values we adopted, as our own, from the others around us, while growing up. Some of these filters served us well.

All of the filters serve us. However, not all would be those one might consider desirable. We miss abundance and see lack. We miss love and see hate. We miss the smiles of the day and only see frowns. We miss all the good things and focus, instead, on the bad news.

A Pessimist Sees The Difficulty In Every Opportunity

We live from mental and emotional habits. Chronic, automatic thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may hold us back from getting what we want. We miss opportunities as a result. The goods news is we can always change habits if we want to and are willing to.

You replace an old habit with a new one, the same way the original habit was built. You expose yourself to the concepts, feelings and behaviors repeatedly, for a long enough duration, until the new habit takes hold. Once it does you are on your way to new ways of being.

Research indicates it takes a minimum of 21 days of consistent repetition, or practice, of the new thought, emotional or behavioral habit to begin to take hold. 3 weeks that isn’t that long. Of course, it is just the beginning, but really that is pretty cool. Short, too.

An Optimist Sees The Opportunity In Every Difficulty

3 weeks from now you could be on your way to a new you. You could think, feel and behave more how you want to. You could be, do and have anything different you want.  You can transform yourself into a whole new you. Perfect practice makes perfect. Get it?

So what do you want? What could you begin to practice right now, that would make you that better you? What could you begin to imagine, and Act As If, you already have it, that you could rehearse again and again in your mind? What could you make real inside?

Think on this? What is your greatest passion and desire? What do you want more of? Careful now, I didn’t ask what don’t you want, I asked what do you want more of? Why do you want it? What will having that do for you? Can you imagine how life would change?

To Hell With Circumstances – I Create Opportunities

Clarify what you want. It is okay if you said, ‘I don’t want to smoke.’ Just remember, that you want to focus on what you want. ‘I want to be healthier’. You can make it as specific as you can. ‘I want to be able to walk a block easily’. Write down specifically what you want.

Focus on what you want a couple times a day. Close your eyes and imagine already living it. You already have it. It is yours and you are it. From this vantage point feel how it feels to have your greatest desire. Celebrate and accentuate the good feelings. Enjoy it.

Spend a few minutes. 5 at least. Visualizing and affirming. Then go about your day. Remember to focus on what you want as often as possible throughout the day. Write it on a card and carry it with you. Take it out and read it during the day. Before bed, repeat imagining.

You Can’t Live A Positive Life With A Negative Mind

Do this consistently with positive emotions until you make it yours. What you are doing is informing your subconscious mind this is what you intend to make happen. Once your subconscious gets the message it begins aligning your inner resources to make it happen.

It begins working for you. It begins to filter out the useless distracting stuff in favor of opportunities. You become aware of people, events and circumstances that would be beneficial in helping you bring about your great desire. Your brain works for you!

You begin to intuit right choices, and notice things you previously wouldn’t have. It is all because you powerfully focus on what you want to include in your life. Your brain finds the way to do that for you. You supply the message until it gets the message and takes over.

Rule Your Mind Or It Will Rule You – What You Focus On Expands

All the while express gratitude for this ability and the opportunity to make your desires come true. Anything and everything you can find to appreciate, do so. Make a daily list. Affirm and be grateful. Express it silently and verbally. Speak only to bless, heal and prosper.

The more thankful you are for everything, the more you allow more things in. You stop filtering out all the good you have previously missed out on. You, now begin noticing it and receiving it. You allow and accept more incredible moments into your life. Get it?

This is how it all works. Affirm, visualize and repeat your great desire long enough to make it a habit. Sincerely and joyously give thanks and more good comes your way. You make it happen from the inside to the outside. You create your reality. Your brain filters in ways that serve you the best. So, go get what you want. In the meantime, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why You Keep Making The Same Mistakes: What You Can Do About It!

1 Comment

“Do you face same struggles over and over? Do you end up repeating the same mistakes or encountering the same circumstances again and again? Whether in career, finances, relationships, health or anything else, would you like to break free and change all that?

Then recognize you are source energy. There’s no difference between source and you. It doesn’t seem that way because you don’t believe it. You believe yourself to be separate from source. You are not. The ocean is contained in the drop and the drop in the ocean.

It isn’t any different. You only think it is. You think the world is made up of many competing drops. It isn’t. It is all source. No division just one. When we recognize this we begin to be free to feel who and what we are and what we are capable of. We are source. You are!

Take 100% Responsibility For Whatever You Create That Is Power

The separation experienced is an illusion. We forgot we are source, and play hide and seek on ourselves. We are source. We are creators. We believe our identity to be the drop so sometimes we act as creators and sometimes we act as victims of the world.

Once we realize we are always source, always creating, we become free. Whatever source creates is neither good or bad, positive or negative. It is neutral. No judgement. No labels. As drops we label and judge. As source we create. Recognize who you really are.

If you are creator part time and victim of creation other times the drop will suffer. Take 100% responsibility and recognize you are always creating, always! You cannot, not create. Determine what you want to create. Then determine to create that. Make it happen.

Learn From Your Mistakes – Become Aware – Choose A New Way

We can learn from our creations. Our struggles and obstacles are how we reveal we are source! When you face challenge and doubt, fear, worry, anger, hate, sadness arise.  When you encounter negative thoughts and limiting beliefs STOP realize you’re source.

These are moments of opportunity! Embrace the limitations, accept them, do not resist. Let go. Wake up to being source. Stop being a victim. Stop believing and living as a victim. Recognize who you are and what you are capable of. You are always creating. ALWAYS!

Realize we are all doing it as source to wake ourselves up. We find that which we seek. We keep giving ourselves issues so we can reveal ourselves to ourselves; so we can come home to who we are. We repeat mistakes to wake up. They’re opportunities! Wake up!

Every Moment Every Limitation Every Obstacle Is An Opportunity

Learn from these lessons. Let go! Become aware. Stop creating lack and worry, misery and anger, hate and fear. Begin creating love and peace, joy and blessings for yourself and all the rest of the drops on the planet. Make a difference! Let’s all make a difference.

What do you want to experience? Then create that! Connect with who you are. You are the flow. You are the source power. When you are grateful, joyful, positive and optimistic you then can discover your true nature. Become aware! Positively create what you want.

Feel blessed by all people, events, circumstance, problems and limitations. Learn, let go, laugh and love. Accept yourself completely as you are. Love yourself. Appreciate yourself. When you appreciate anything the value increases. You are worthy. You are deserving. You are a miracle. Believe it! Appreciate yourself! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

If You Aren’t Right Here You Are Missing Out

2 Comments

“Some people struggle and worry and never seem to get ahead of the curve. They hope and wish and fret to no avail. They miss most of their life because they are too caught up. They try but can’t secure the future nor repair the past. They need to stop and get present.

Some people think that focusing on the present is like being in a barrel on the ocean drifting wherever the current takes you. For me, focusing on the present is like being in a sailboat and navigating whatever the universe presents. Life is what life is right now.

Some people want to escape what is. Don’t. Whether you face choppy, windblown waters or calm sunny seas you accept what is. You adjust and go with the flow.  You don’t give in. You don’t give up. You do whatever is necessary or enjoyable IN the moment.

The Art Of Life Is To Live In The Present – Be Here Now

You keep your destination in mind as you attend to what is currently going on. You know where you want to go yet you live right now. You enjoy the present moment. You enjoy the journey as it unfolds. You accept and overcome the obstacles as part of the journey.

It is what IS. You enjoy the fun, exciting moments. The calm moments.  The boring moments. Whatever IS is what IS.  You accept wherever you are in the moment. You allow and embrace it. It is your blessing. There truly is nothing else but right now. Breathe it in.

Your mind tries to escape into thoughts of past or future. Those don’t exist now. You exist now. Live in the present and become aware. This moment is all you have. Live in it. Live it fully. Stay with right now. Bring your attention to here. Allow now to be all it is.

Past Might Be A Nice Place To Visit But Not A Good Place To Stay

I repeat. The past is gone except for what your entertain in your mind. The future has yet to unfold even if you spend all your time welcoming it or worrying about it. It isn’t here yet. Fully appreciate what is going on now! Be grateful for all of it. Live in full gratitude.

Be grateful for the obstacles and challenges. Be grateful for every experience; event; thing and person; for all of it is a gift to you. You are alive. You get to experience this present moment. Others do not. You are blessed to have this moment, whatever the moment is.

When you are filled with gratitude and appreciation for what it IS, for whatever IS, then you are free. Then you are free to transform your self and the world around you. It isn’t even that you are doing it. You keep what you want, your destination, in mind, and allow it.

The Present Moment Is All We Have – Concentrate On Now

You make it happen by doing right now what it takes to bring it about. Your focus is on this step in the journey. When it is time to take the next step you do. Step by step you get where you are headed. Enjoy right now. Be present. Don’t miss it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Strangers And What To Do About Them

Leave a comment

horizons-a-new-day-phil-koch

“Do you have all the friends you want or need? Would you like to have more? There is a saying, ‘be the change you want to see in the world.’ I think the same applies to friendship. Be the friend you want to have first and you will win others over to you. Get it? I hope so.

Let’s reach out and become friends with people we wouldn’t think to. I sat in a mall one day 30 years again and it struck me. Given the proper circumstance and introduction anyone of these strangers passing by might become a friend. That’s really all it takes.

It struck me like a lightning bolt. A stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet. We pass people by and don’t realize in another situation, given the proper introduction, that person, you pass by, right now, might become your very best friend. I mean, think about that!

There Are No Strangers Here Only A Friend You Haven’t Met Yet

Perhaps, we should just be a little nicer and kinder to people who we don’t know yet. Maybe would should take the opportunity to simply smile, say hello, nod, or chat a bit. Genuinely listen to others and become interested. Don’t be a pest but be warmer to people.

Celebrate this world and everyone in it. Unite, come together instead of sewing discord. People around the world are actually much more similar than they are different regardless of any background. After all, they’re all people. Different, but the same!

Celebrate, unite, draw close. Connect, get to know. Rid yourself of fearing people you don’t know. Stop assuming they won’t like you. Start by assuming you possibly have some things in common. Start enjoying others more. Help them out. Allow others to help you.

A Simple Friendly Hello Could Lead To A Million Positive Things

Don’t be overbearing either. Give people space to be themselves. Give people space to just have space for both of you. Be authentic. Don’t assume the negative, be positive. Leave people be if they prefer to be left alone. Don’t stalk them either!

Appreciate people more and allow them in. If it makes you feel safe keep up the invisible walls you use to protect yourself but peer over them or through them. Welcome the world to you. Invite others to get to know you. Be grateful for all and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Good Things Always Come Your Way If You Are Open To It

horizons-a-moment-phil-koch

I interrupt our series of blogs on ‘How To Get People To Do What You Want’ to share with you some wonderful bits about today. I enjoy the notions of synchronicity, coincidence, and happenstance. I enjoy the notions of attraction and manifestation. l like mystery.

I like magic. The mysterious and delightfully wonderful and bizarre mystic Gurdjieff wrote a fascinating book titled ‘Meetings With Remarkable Men’ which could be a book that I write. My life has been filled with remarkable people of high intelligence.

I have been surrounded by incredible spiritual mystics, deep thinkers, movers and shakers; people of vast wealth and influence, and great talent. I have been fortunate to have had, and today, still gain access to remarkable people of tremendous insight.

Create A Positive Atmosphere In Your Life And Good Will Happen

Many of the most influential people and profound mentors in my life have been powerful women. Many of these in the areas of health, and show business. Today, I was fortunate to be invited to lunch by a very, very wealthy influential gentleman who’ll remain nameless.

From Noon to 3:30 this afternoon I was delighted to spend time listening and learning and conversing with he and a few other friends he had invited. He bought us lunch and we hung out. At one point, I asked what he attributed his great success to.

He looked me in the eye and said, ‘I listen. I learned to listen well. I listen to everything and I remember it. I am a sneaky listener too. I listen to others when they talk. I listen so I can connect with people. I listen so that attention is off of me and on the other person.’

Be Patient The Best Things Happen Unexpectedly – Remain Open

He continued, ‘I listen. Then I know what is important to other people. I learn what they want and feel they need. Then, I know how to speak with them and help them begin to feel more fulfilled. It’s about the other person; not about me. I’m not that interesting.’

Later in my day, I I met a younger man who said he spent most of his life in special-education. Not as an instructor but as one labeled with special needs. He told me about himself. It was fascinating what he was doing with his life. He was making things happen. It was great.

He had a very positive attitude. He was a person of faith. He mentioned that he was learning to do something by watching YouTube videos over, and over, and over again. He’d watch powerful speakers speak and we would learn their positive messages.

Sometimes Good Things Need To End For Better Ones To Happen

He also mentioned he was learning to do dry wall. He stated it was basically very simple. The process  was measure twice cut and once. If you screw up do it again. It was simple and to the point. Mistakes were learning points but no big deal. Learn and improve.

One of the things that struck me most in what he shared was he said, ‘I can teach myself anything I want.’  And he does. Here’s a guy who spent his entire life labeled as a special needs kid stating he can teach himself to be anything he wants.  AND he is!

He recently moved to this area and was getting to know people and enjoying it, although it was much colder. Eventually, he hopes to move to the southeast. He was a fascinating person and his attitude is indeed marvelous. I enjoyed my time with people today.

Focus On What Matters Stay Positive – Good Things Will Happen

Each morning I wake up and my first thoughts are, ‘I love my life. Today, something magical will happen for me. I accept and allow all the unexpected good and gifts that come my way. What can I do to be of service? How might I help?’ I love waking up celebrating.

Then I find out how these manifest themselves. Every day I am delightfully surprised in big and small ways. Sometimes big wonderful things come my way and sometimes I am tickled. Each day I’m open proves to be fascinating and I meet remarkable people.

I learned a lot from two people at different ends of the financial spectrum today. What a fabulous blessing! I love my life. Let’s all look for what we can enjoy, delight in and learn from. We are surrounded by opportunity each and every moment. Let’s celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Experts Reveal: You Are Missing Out And You Don’t Even Know It!

“You don’t know what you don’t know! You can’t know what you miss and do not notice. It is obscured from your view. If you can’t see it you won’t have seen it. I hope you get this important point. Many people walk around with blinders on. Actual blinders of perception.

Research points out that your (our) Reticular Activating System (RAS) looks for matches in your experience and your history that mirrors your internal world. As within so without. Whatever you focus on is what you get. Whatever you don’t focus on you miss.

This is an incredible point to understand. There are opportunities all around you. Opportunities exist all the time. People all over the world are taking advantage of opportunities YOU do not see. Opportunities you CANNOT see. Opportunities you keep missing!

What You See And Hear Depends On The Kind Of Person You Are

You are missing opportunities day and night. In every aspect of your life. Your thinking determines what you are able to notice. How open minded or closed minded you are determines what you will discover and entertain. Most of us are closed minded in many ways.

One of the ways is conscious and is based on our previous conditioning and conclusions we come to as a result. We see this in the political and religious arenas a lot. Both sides believe they are right and have a monopoly on the truth and correct action.

Another way is simply by not paying attention. We are hooked into what is going on around us by what we think about going on inside us. We are focused on problems, debts, and  issues that occupy our thoughts and our time. We focus on lack and limitations.

If Our Perceptual Doors Were Cleansed Everything Would Appear

Both of these ways means we obviously will miss out on what else might be there. The first because we refuse to accept that there is any value elsewhere. The second because our focus narrows down and spotlights problems. We literally shut off peripheral seeing.

The last way I will cover in this post are our distractions. We are distracted and do not focus on what we want. We wish and hope some but mostly pay attention to daily life needs, the internet news, taking selfies, and doing things that don’t add up to very much.

It isn’t that we shouldn’t do them but we forgo putting our energy into where it counts most. We need to focus on what we want and make it a burning desire to the exclusion of everything else. We do this until our brain grabs it and runs with it. When it does voila’!

Be Thankful For What You Have And You’ll End Up Having  More

Our subconscious, our RAS, looks for matches that are most important to us. It looks for opportunities. You begin to notice them as you do other models of cars, just like the one you bought. I bought a PT Cruiser. I rarely noticed them until I did. Now I see dozens daily.

You don’t know what you don’t know. You aren’t aware of what limits you that you aren’t able to see. The best to do is focus on what you want so you are able to recognize opportunities to help you make that happen. You have to open and focus your mind.

Stop missing out all the good stuff. Start taking advantage of everything that exists out there for you. If you think the world is limited you will find plenty of limitations. If you think it is abundant and filled with all sorts of incredible things you will find that too.

Every Man Takes His Own Limits As The Limits Of The World

Your world is actually what you make it. What you think it to be OR what you don’t think is to be! Of course, what you don’t think you won’t know you aren’t thinking it. It is a loop for certain. Think the thoughts that bring you the best. Think the best thoughts!

This is HOW it works. If you think, ‘nah can’t be right’. YOU will be correct in that. For YOU it won’t be right. IT will not work until YOU change your thoughts from how it can’t to thoughts of how it can. Whether you think you can or can’t you are right. Get it?

It is simple and straightforward. Either your thoughts serve you or they do not. Choose to think and focus more on ones that serve and support you and you will find more opportunities and resources. It actually works that way. Open up! Get your brain working for you!

The Eyes See Only What The Mind Is Prepared To Comprehend

Gratitude is another way you find opportunity. Count your blessings and you will find more blessings to count. You will find things you didn’t recognize or realize were blessings and benefits. They are there. You just missed them by being caught up in other things. Stop. Become grateful. Your world will change in incredible, mind blowing ways. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
