Why Be A Loser When You Can Be A Winner?

Leave a comment

Why think positive? Isn’t it unrealistic? As I point out, what if it is unrealistic, so what? What is the alternative? Realistic and bummed out? Realistic and a wimp? Realistic and stuck in problems of one’s own making? Nope, I prefer positivity to that. Don’t you?

For me, I like that I can move ahead and not be stuck, or not be stuck for very long, when I think positively and powerfully. Life is good and life is great. The world is abundant in my way of thinking and there is plenty for all. They deserve it. You deserve it. I deserve it.

I prefer to think positively, about possibilities and solutions. I like thinking optimistically. I enjoy moving through challenges optimally. Life is a process. Life is contrast. Life is all sorts of things. Life is flow. I enjoy going with the flow and all the sights I see along the way.

Never Underestimate The Heart Of A Champion – Winners Win

There is light and dark, good and bad, positive and negative. One can focus on whatever one chooses. Whichever one chooses has an affect and consequences. I prefer to focus on the light, the good and the positive. I prefer to take responsibility for my focus and my life.

Some people are stuck in a quagmire of their own creation. I have been. I could be again. I prefer, learning and developing to minimize that as much as possible. I want to accept responsibility for making my life the best, for how it turns out, good or not so good. Get it?

I prefer the attitude of Conor McGregor who determined to win against Floyd Mayweather.  He spoke well of his opponent. Took the loss graciously. Stated he didn’t anticipate some of Mayweather’s moves or skill and is moving on. He may box again. Cool!

Every Champion Was Once A Contender Who Didn’t Give Up

He is still a winner and a champion. Defeat doesn’t appear to rile him. I like the attitude I can see from him. Though he lost the bout, his attitude was marvelous. That is what I want to do, don’t you? If you get knocked down, get up and keep going. Smile and move.

Learn from it but don’t wallow in it. Cut the losses and decide to make new  things happen. Get up and move forward. Make the day a better day. What we focus on is what we get back. We attract WHO we are back to us. So, who we are and who we become is important. Be the best. Be happy and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Reclaim Your Sanity: De-Clutter Your Mind and Your Life

Leave a comment

“While a messy desk may be a sign of genius, a messy house can wreak havoc on an otherwise calm mind. Some people cannot function well if the home or office or car is littered with things out of place. Some people just can’t hit a positive stride with things amiss.

A messy mind may be indicative of a messy life. A messy life may indicate a messy mind. These go hand in hand since the outer IS a reflection of the inner. We create from within to without. From thought comes our feelings, actions, behaviors and results.

Clean up your house, and you feel better. Take it easy. Do it bit by bit. Choose an area and straighten it up. After you do, you’ll feel good and feel like doing more. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Do it bit by bit, but do it! Fix up the world you live in. You will be glad!

Clear Out Physical Clutter And You Cleanse Your Mind

It is as important and  beneficial for people to de-clutter their inner world. Clean up the inside of your head. Eliminate the mental clutter of distractions and limitations. There are many ways you can begin to do this. Get your thoughts out. Use your voice to weaken them.

You can talk out your thoughts. Speak out loud when alone and in private. Get clear. Listen to yourself. It’s okay to do this. It helps clarify what you are thinking since thoughts can be quick. Speaking helps you to slow down. Write them out. That is even slower.

Writing and journaling is more deliberate. You can go back and review the evolution. As you gain clarity, talk and write out your thinking. You may notice it helps them to dissipate. This is one reason why we shouldn’t discuss our dreams with others.

Clear Out Mental Clutter And You Cleanse Your Soul

Talking about things weakens things. It causes the energy to dissipate. So keep your dreams private! Move. Walk around. Breathe. DO anything that allows you to feel better. Watch your thoughts. Meditate. Recognize, thoughts are something you think.

Thoughts are not you. Thoughts are merely tools.  We can use them to create great things. We can ignore them, when they don’t benefit us. Learning to manage your own thinking is one of the most important skills you can ever learn! Many won’t, but you can! Do it!

If the thoughts you think are not supportive, change them. Trade them in for more supportive ones. I mean, why not? If they suck, chuck them! Clean out your mental house. Eliminate those thinking things that  prevent you from peace and happiness. Really, do it.

Clear Out Clutter And Make More Space For You To Delight 

Unless you are a hoarder, most people throw out, or give away, old clothing, shoes, childhood belongings, and items they no longer need or use. Yes, some have sentimental value, but each spring many people clean house or the garage. DO the same inside your head.

Except do it daily! Manage your thinking and you will think and feel and act better. You will get better results and live a happier, more successful life. If you don’t, you will keep things the same. Get it? If you don’t change something, everything remains as it is. Change!

Gratitude is another excellent way to get ahead of the clutter. Be thankful. Appreciate everything small and large. Express your gratitude fully in feelings. Count and list your blessings. Whenever down, worried or anxious switch your thinking over to what you are thankful for. It works! Become aware. Feel grateful and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

If You’re Like Most People You Say You Are But You Probably Aren’t

Leave a comment

“Most people will make this claim, yet, most people are not what they claim. They say they are, but they aren’t. This is the reason they don’t change, nor do they get what they want. In order to have the life you want to have, certain things are necessary.

You must do this! What is it? You must have a true willingness to change. Yup, people claim they are willing. They say they want changes. They want it different. When it comes right down to it they really aren’t willing to do whatever it takes to make it so?

Many are mostly unwilling. What about you? If you want things in your life to change you ACTUALLY have to change things in your life! What would you give up? What would you trade in exchange? Would you go a year without Facebook? Would you give up television?

If You Are Not Willing To Change – Don’t Expect Your Life To

What are you willing to do, to sacrifice, if you had to, to get the life of your dreams? What will you do to make you big goals and dreams a reality? Most people won’t do much when it comes right down to it. They are comfortable as it is, even while they complain about it!

It boils down to habit. What habits do you have that keep you the same? Most people don’t change their habits because they think it too hard. They try, but give up. Some succeed. You actually can! To succeed you need to put some skin in the game. Are you willing?

What do you need to do in order to get what you want most? The number one thing most people need to start with is to change their thinking? People need to develop the mindset that they can and will do anything positive to bring about good results they desire.

You Have To Be Willing To Leave Your Comfort Zone

They need to take responsibility for everything in their life. Why? Because once you take responsibility for everything it puts you in charge. If you created a mess, or something you don’t like, you can create what you want, too. You are doing it. No one else is.

That mindset helps you make the changes necessary to develop new habits. If I said, you can have the lifestyle you want, but it will cost you X, many people would say, ‘wow that is too much!’ The cost could be a money investment or giving up golfing on weekends.

Not forever, but until you have what you want. What do you continue to allow that gets in your way? When will you stop it from being a distraction? How soon will you decide you are willing to change and do whatever necessary to stop losing and start winning?

Stop Complaining About Things You Aren’t Willing To Change

A willingness to change means you are willing and you actually take charge and change things. If you change nothing, you get nothing. Still, this is what most do. They continue doing the same things, hoping it will be different. That IS the definition of insanity. It is!

Develop a positive mindset. Napoleon Hill called it THINK and grow rich. It truly is mostly a mental game. When your thinking is right on, your actions will be too. It isn’t about working harder, yet that is what most people think it’s about. Work smarter not harder!

Until you are truly willing to change your life will mostly remain the same. You have to leave your comfort zone and stretch yourself in new and different ways to make headway. This means you must develop new thinking, feeling and doing habits. Are you ready?

You Will Never Change Anything You Are Willing To Tolerate

If so begin. Begin assuming responsibility for everything in your life. No joke. You created it all. That is the mindset. Now begin creating what you want. Fill your mind each day with positive thoughts. Read, listen to positive material. Repeat affirmations. Visualize. Have fun.

Make it a point to enjoy what you already have, whether you have little or lots. BE grateful. Express your appreciation. This is really, the secret. It is all an energy game! When you are vibrating right, exuding the right energy, you are in the zone. It is about energy!

You make things happen when you are positive. When you are delighting and enjoying all of life you are closest to making all your dreams come true. Live in appreciation. Be grateful. What you think about you become. What you focus on expands. Delight in it all and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

ENJOY!

Delight in this day!

Who You Are Speaks Volumes: You Can’t Hide It

Leave a comment

horizons-perpetuity-phil-koch

“First impressions are lasting impressions. Are you a friendly, reliable, loyal, honest, trustworthy person that people want to do business with or say yes to? What message do they get fromYOU beyond the message you are attempting to communicate? WHO are you?

It’s important you understand what you are broadcasting to others. Because who you are and what you do is what people meet first; even on the phone. It isn’t only the words you use it is quality of your voice. What does the voice sound like? What impression do we get?

You cannot not communicate. You are communicating always. Speaking or silent  the message YOU is being transmitted. Be aware of who you are and what message your are always offering. How you stand, walk, sit speaks volumes. How you look; the look in your eyes.

The Medium Is The Message – You Can’t Not Communicate

The quality of your voice. The confidence or lack of it when you speak. You can’t hide who you are so you shouldn’t try. You should develop yourself into an awesome person and presence whom people enjoy and want to be around, do things for and say yes to.

More on this later. Simply become aware of what you broadcast day and night. It may surprise you to learn. Are you broadcasting positivity or negativity; friendliness or unfriendliness; WHAT do you broadcast? Who are you? What is important to you? It all goes out!

Everyone picks up something about you. They read signals and interpret or misinterpret. What message are they getting? An easy way to be more likable is to become filled with gratitude and express it freely. Live in appreciation and become so filled it spills over to the others. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Feeling Low Energy? Down and Out? Do This Immediately!

Leave a comment

horizons-lucidity-phil-koch

“Are their times when you feel down and out? Would you like to learn how to feel better almost instantly? Did you know that there is something you can do that will help you shift your mindset? Yep! By changing your awareness and focus you can change your mood.

Many years ago during a reflective, meditative time, I realize my feet had carried me for 24 years without my ever thanking them. I immediately began to appreciate how they had carried me through life, through good and bad times, when they were well or injured.

Silly me. Right? I had missed out. How could I have gone so long without acknowledging them. But, I had. I began to list, one after the other,  how my toes had worked together. My soles of the feet. The muscles, bones, joints and cartilage. My skin. Each and everything!

When I Started Counting My Blessings My Life Turned Around

The flood gates soon opened and I was thanking each and every part of me I could think of and name, inside and out. The more I thanked the more incredible I felt. It is a great place to begin feeling better. It is a great place to get in touch with what is important. Embrace it.

Discover how blessed you are. Do it! Become thankful. Make a list. Do it each and everyday. Whenever and where ever you can. Think it, speak it, enjoy it. Feel it! Let the feelings of appreciation rise up in you. It will positively change how you feel for the better.Delight in all of it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have an wonderful day!

How To Stop Getting Crappy Results!

7 Comments

horizons-hereafter-phil-koch

“Our outer world reality is determined by our inner reality. The results we get are products of the thoughts we think. At one time the chair did not exist. Someone conceived of it, thought it up, and made one. From idea to tangible item. That’s how it works.

Some suggest the outer world accurately reflects the inner. If the outer is peaceful and harmonious the inner is as well. If the outer world is in chaos and discord so is the inner reality. As within so without. This is an important concept to grasp and consider.

If our thoughts, our beliefs (thoughts we repeatedly think over and over) create our reality then it behoves us to think the very best thoughts in order to create the very best reality. It means we need to control our mind and master it or remain a victim to it. Get it?

Tell The Negativity Committee Inside You – Sit Down And Shut Up

Your mind learned to do what it does. It is habit. It is patterned. It is automatic. If you think negative thoughts, worry a lot, feel bad, you learned to be this way. It is chronic and it is habit you acquired while growing up. Since you learned it you CAN change it. You really can.

In order to do so you have to deliberately change it. You have to deliberately create new positive supportive thinking and feeling habits. Then the results you get will be a reflection of those new positive changes. Your outer world changes because your inner did.

Adopt the best possible beliefs. Affirm these. Declare them. Repeatedly expose yourself to these new thoughts. That is how you learned the old ones in the first place. Repetition and strong emotion. Use the same to create new positive thought habits.

Worry Is Misuse Of Your Imagination And Is Negative Planning

As a potential place to begin realize that enormous wealth and power are available to you right this moment. Abundance is yours! You don’t believe it? Of course not. You won’t if you listen to your old negative conditioning. Your old beliefs will make you think nonsense.

The old, which is only doing what it learned to do, is protecting you from changing. It isn’t trying to harm you, it is just keeping you consistent. That’s what it is designed to do. Keep you the same even if it hurts. Still, you can learn a new and better way. Think positive.

Think, ‘I deserve the best! I accept the best! I can learn to do anything I put my mind to. I accept abundance. I choose to think positive. Enormous wealth and power are available to me.’ Think it. Repeat it. Chant it eagerly, enthusiastically, excitedly, powerfully!

Don’t Ruin A Good Day By Thinking Bad Thoughts

Put some oompf behind it. Mean it. If you don’t at first keep chanting it until you do. Day in and day out. Make it your mantra. Make it your favorite song. Think it, feel it, be it! This is HOW you take control.

This is how you claim your mind back. You think and declare what you consciously decide to. You choose the thoughts you think and repeat them again and again with strong emotion. Words don’t mean much but emotions mean everything. Powerful emotions are critical.

Claim your mind back. Live from your strength not your weakness. Decide what you want to believe and make yourself believe it. The choice is yours? Would you rather believe you are powerful and fail at some things or believe you are helpless and fail at a lot.

What Consumes Your Mind Controls Your Life – Consider That

You determine the kind of life you live. How is it working for you so far? If you love it, wonderful. If it needs a little adjustment. Go for it. If you need a major overhaul, so be it. Take charge and take control. Claim it. Declare it. Make your word the law. Live your dreams.

Turn the within into something so incredible the outside delights you. Live from abundance. Live well because YOU DO deserve to. Find gratitude and be thankful you have this opportunity. It may seem slow at first but it accelerates. You will transform beyond your wildest dreams. Delight in all and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have a gorgeous day!

Do You Know How To Stop Suffering And Start Living?

2 Comments

horizons lone-phil-koch

“Why do many people suffer and feel in pain? Often, it is something we do. If you suffer or are frustrated would you like to learn a new way to be, think and do? Would you like to end most of your suffering and begin to feel much better more often.

Much suffering is caused by how we use our minds. It is what we focus on. We can put an end to lots of personal suffering by changing how we use or mind and what we focus on. We can create new thought habits. There are those who can shut out pain and suffering.

Certain meditators and spiritual practitioners learn to control their focus of attention to such a degree that they can withstand much physical pain. They train so they can also endure mental and emotional pain and overcome it. They gain control, they take charge.

Why Am I Happy – I Feel Grateful Thankful And Blessed Every Day

We use correct repetition. What is correct repetition? It is doing the right thing, the right way, over again. We repeat it. We can practice the piano or a golf swing, for example, correctly or incorrectly. If we want to get good we need to do it the correct way each time.

By using correct repetition, consistently, we engage in the practice for a long enough time to make it a new reliable habit. That is how habits are born or acquired. It takes about a month to begin to form a new habit. 30 days from now you can be wonderfully different!

That is a guideline time for forming new habits. It depends on you. If you do the right thing consistently for a long enough period of time you will wire it in. Once the new habit begins to form it gets easier and easier. You enjoy it more and more! Okay, now, back to the pain.

The Smile On My Face Means I Appreciate My Blessings

Comparison creates pain. We compare ourselves to others; how tall or short; fat or thin we are; how good looking or not good looking; how rich or poor or what kind of things they have that we don’t. We try to keep up with the Jones. We hurt because we compare.

We compare where we are to where we want to be. We decided we want to work with the Law of Attraction, then we compare how fast or slow we got what we are working on. If it is not fast enough we suffer. If we don’t yet have it we complain it isn’t working.

We compare time frames.  We compare where we are today to  how far we have yet to go. If it is a long way off we suffer or get frustrated Most often, what we compare causes our suffering. It can be used it to find out how you are better off. You can us it to feel better too.

A Beautiful Day Begins With A Beautiful Mindset

Compare today to how you were before. Notice how you have evolved. Determine how far you have moved ahead and how blessed you have become. Look back and connect the dots with what you didn’t have to what you now do have. Feel fortunate. Use it wisely.

Make comparison work for you instead of against you. Live, laugh love and celebrate.  Drop painful comparison, let it go. Begin appreciating where you are. Be filled with gratitude for who you are, what you are, how you are, when you are, and where you are.

If you can come to understand that everything is perfect right at this moment you will always feel blessed. Yes, you weren’t brought up believing that, most likely. You were probably brought up to strive to get ahead and complain about circumstances not to your liking.

Every New Day Is An Opportunity To Feel Blessed For All Of It

I was. If you are able to adopt the mindset that everything is perfect then you are always blessed. It doesn’t mean you can’t change it, it means changing it is part of being perfect. Challenges are blessings. It means there is always something good about it right now.

You can find a lesson to learn from, or the seed of an opportunity that might germinate and take hold if you allow it and nurture it. Nothing is over, we are always in a process. We are always right where we are in this process. Let go, accept and enjoy it all.

It is a journey and wherever we are along the way is an exploration and an adventure. Adventures have ups and downs. It is what makes many carnival rides fun. Life can be fun too. Stop suffering by comparing and start living large by accepting.

The Situation Will Ultimately Be To Your Benefit – So Be Happy

The moment you start acting like like is a blessing is the moment it will start to feel like one. Discover the thousands of reasons you have to feel blessed. Choose to feel blessed! Choose to feel happy. Choose to feel exited. Choose to feel grateful and appreciative. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
