March 3, 2017 rexsikes 1 Comment

“Everyday fill your mind with positive and powerful thoughts. Read inspirational material to stay positive, inspired and motivated. You can accomplish your dreams and goals by maintaining the right mindset, right actions and persistence. You can have what you want.

Here are some more wonderful thoughts to keep in mind. Each day affirm your positive desires. Feel the affirmations, don’t just recite words. See yourself already having accomplished what you want. Assume the feelings of what it is like to have reached your goals.

‘The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.’ Alice Walker

‘If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.’ Henry Ford

‘The mind is everything. What you think you become.’ Buddha

‘Your circumstances my not be congenial but they will not long remain so if you perceive an ideal and strive to reach it.’ James Allen

‘Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; what you can do or dream you can do, begin it! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it; only engage and then the mind grows heated; begin and then the work will be completed.’ Goethe

‘Your future begins with your next thought’. Bryant McGill

Enjoy your day. Stop and appreciate all the goodness around you. If you don’t immediately see it, look for it until you find it. It is always there. Be grateful for wherever you are on your journey. Help put a smile on someone else’s lips too. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Are Not The Thoughts You Think

March 2, 2017 rexsikes 2 Comments

“You are not your thoughts. None of us are. We forget that. That is an issue for us. We can watch our thoughts. We can control and manage our thoughts but we are not the thoughts we think. We are beyond our thoughts. We are influenced by our thoughts.

The person who thinks s/he is from mars we call crazy or insane. We don’t believe the person. We say they have a thought disorder. Doctors identify numerous thought issues. This should tell us something important. Not about the doctors but about us.

We can think supportive thoughts or non-supportive thoughts. We are affected by thoughts we think. We respond to our thoughts with feelings. Our feelings determine our actions. This is all learned. This is all habitual. You had to learn to think. You had to learn language.

We Become What We Think About Repeatedly

At birth it is unlikely you thought, ‘wow, I made it’. Even if it is true you made it. You grew up learning words and thoughts from the people around you. You learned good and bad, right and wrong. You learned to identify with these concepts, and other concepts, too.

Limitations you may have only occur in your thinking. This is true for all of us. We are not the limitation. Our shabby thinking is. This is great news because we can change our thinking. Perhaps, not over night but we can recondition ourselves to think supportive thoughts.

Beliefs are only thoughts we repeatedly think through time. We can change our thinking the same way we learned it. We expose ourselves to positive, productive, supportive thoughts and we repeat this for a long enough period of time. We replace thoughts.

What You Focus On Expand – Thoughts Are Things

The knack to transforming is to not believe the BS you already believe. Don’t buy into perceived negative limitations. No you can’t fly that is another disorder. You can make positive changes. You are a resourceful person. You can learn to do most anything in life.

Continue exploring these blog pages on how you can do this. It is filled with principles and practices to help you more easily and readily make the changes you desire to make. Gratitude is a powerful way to begin to transform. Practice it and you will change your thinking. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Make today a great day!

Today’s Collected Wisdom To Keep In Mind

March 1, 2017 rexsikes 1 Comment

“Every morning, we should set our day at the beginning. Use this valuable time to put on a positive mindset and greet the day. This has great practical value. It helps us to focus on what we want to accomplish and sets the frame for the day.

How we begin the race determines how we may end the race. Not always, but enough of the time to realize, how we start can determine how we follow through. Emerson said, ‘Do the thing and and you will have the power.’ Create positive morning rituals.

These rituals become positive supportive habits. A great ritual to develop along with morning affirmations and physical movement is to read some or listen to some positive audios. Here are some uplifting quotes to help send you on this day. Enjoy and remember.

A Flower Doesn’t Compete With Other Flowers It Simply Blooms

‘Every morning is a new page in the story of your life. You are creating your life every moment. Think wisely about the day you want to create for yourself.’ Jenni Young

‘Declare I am blessed and talented. All things are coming my way and working together for my good.’ Sandi Krakowski

‘Be careful how you are talking to yourself because you are listening.’ Lisa M. Hayes

‘When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.’ Napoleon Hill

Be Optimistic It Feels Better – You Get What You Focus On

‘When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.’ Helen Keller

‘The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to become.’ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Another fantastic way to begin the day is in gratitude. Remember those people, things, events and situations you are grateful for. Make it a point to appreciate where you are in your journey. You are where you are so feel blessed and grateful. When you do you open the doors for more wonderful possibilities. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Today, create some magical, memorable moments

What We Can Learn From The 2017 Academy Awards Show.

February 28, 2017 rexsikes Leave a comment

“Did you see the Oscars 2017. I enjoyed it. If you missed it you missed a fun show with lot’s of live happenings. I posted to Facebook my list of lessons from this year’s Oscars. I decided to include it here. While written somewhat in jest I do think we can learn a lot to apply.

Here is what we can learn from the 2017 Academy Awards Show. Learn from the Oscar mishap and apply the learning to our everyday lives. I think the example is ripe with more than just a few practices to embrace. I only list a few. Enjoy and transform your situations.

1. Not everything goes as expected. Get over it. Go on with grace.

2. Surprises and shocks, delights and disappointments are part of it.

3. It is an Academy Award show. It is about glamour, friends, talent, and money. Keep in mind it is an Academy Award Show. It is a show!

4. It is an AWARD show. It’s LIVE – real time. If everything and everyone were included it would last longer. There will be omissions. People complain. Enjoy what is there! Lighten up! It’s the Oscars

5. Not everyone likes or cares for the same things. So what? Enjoy.

6. It is a celebration! Keep that in mind. Criticism is an easy out.

7. Mistakes are mistakes. Remember the positive outcome. Learn.

8. Cut everyone some slack. It is what it is. Have fun. It’s Oscars!

9. Don’t rain on other’s parades. It’s an awards show. Celebrate!

10. Rectify mistakes with integrity. Do the right thing quickly. Don’t hesitate! Be willing to lose if you must. Celebrate others who win.

BONUS LESSON: IT IS AN AWARD SHOW!! It’s purpose is recognition and edification. Are there other reasons for it. Yes, so what! Let people come together to pat each other on the back. Why do I repeat so often? SO we remember to keep it in mind! Laugh!

Well that’s it. Have fun. Enjoy life. Offer credit where credit is due. Acknowledge, recognize and edify others around you. Celebrate your success, but be sure to celebrate the success of others. When disappointed accept it with grace and go on. Walk the talk. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Live, Learn, Love and Laugh!

Why Don’t People, Including You, Change When They Want To?

February 27, 2017 rexsikes 1 Comment

“You try to change? You want to lose weight, gain weight, get out of debt, spend less money, Yet, you don’t. You try to make more money, feel happier, stop yelling at kids, or quit smoking but you haven’t. What’s up with this? Why don’t people change if they want to?

The short answer is: They haven’t decided to. They want to but haven’t made the decision. That is one heck of a major reason. They hope to, wish to, and want to really, really, badly, BUT they haven’t actually said, ‘I will change’. YOU haven’t committed to it, either.

Instead they try different things. All of which don’t work, according to them. They make excuses, they blame others. They tell themselves, ‘it will be hard’. They say things like, ‘I don’t know how.’ They blame god, the world, the economy, even themselves.

Unsuccessful People Make Decisions Based On What Sucks Now

‘I can’t change’. ‘I’ve tried everything.’ UH, NO, YOU HAVEN’T. You may think you have tried everything, but you haven’t. May seems like it, but nope. You’re not doing the right things. You keep doing the same things over and over wishing and hoping it would be different.

That’s part of the problem. You have to do something ACTUALLY different! You have to say you will and then you have to commit to it. You have been putting it off. Fearing it. Resisting it. Worrying about it. You have been programming yourself to fail again! STOP THIS!

STOP the Insanity! You need to program yourself to succeed. You need to quit failing and start succeeding. As Henry Ford stated, ‘Whether you think you can’t or you think you can. You are right’. You’ve lied about why you can’t change. Now, lie about why you can.

Successful People Decide Based On Where They Want To Be

You have to decide you will. Commit to it. Affirm that commitment each and every day, every hour and every minute, if need be. Commit and persist. Believe you can do it. Affirm that you can do it. Decide it will be easier than you imagine, even though, it may be tough.

It requires as much effort and action as it requires. You don’t take a bazooka after a gnat when a flyswatter will do. Still, you must do whatever it takes. You must keep doing it until you make it a new habit and master it. You must engage your mind power. You must!

You must make your thoughts and feelings work for you instead of the way you typically use them. You must take charge and decide that you are larger than any problem you could possibly have. YOU are in charge. You will do it. You will make it happen. You – You – You!

There Is Power In Making The Decision To Do Something Positive

Stop doing the old things the old ways. Stop doing the old habits. Make some new ones. Create thought, feeling and action habits that serve you. Weed the garden. Stop feeding the weeds. Feed only what you want to grow. Speak only that which promotes growth.

Align your thoughts, feelings, words and actions. Focus your attention powerfully on what you want to create and do it. The more you do the more you can do. Break it into manageable steps at first. Chunk it down. Step by step, but do it. You can learn to do anything.

Appreciate that you want to change. Appreciate what you want to change because something about it served you. Right or wrong there was something in the behavior for you. Now change and appreciate you have decided it is time. Appreciate your efforts. Be glad!

You Have The Power To Change Your Life At Any Moment

Appreciate your progress. Each day feel blessed and thankful for the effort, the progress, the slip-ups and mistakes, the return to progress and for your persistence. Feel blessed you are alive and able to take this on. Stop whining and start winning. Make it a game. Have fun. Enjoy it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

It is your day. How are you going to spend it?

What Is Critical You Learn From The Cold Or Flu

February 25, 2017 rexsikes Leave a comment

“A few blogs ago I shared what we could learn from having the cold or flu. One of the main points is, when things don’t feel right we notice it. It may be painful, but this is a good thing. Our body signals us that something is amiss and needs attending to. We need healing.

If we didn’t feel bad we might never know to take care of it. So it is good that painful symptoms get our attention. The issue, however, is to not focus on the symptoms and the pains, but on feeling well. I pointed out I learned to focus on feeling blessed and what was good.

By shifting away from the negative, or less than glorious or painful current physical events, and to positive or more healthy feelings, I could find in me, I began to feel better and heal more rapidly. The better my attitude is, the more my health swiftly improves.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes – Your Thoughts Begin It

It isn’t easy to shift focus. It takes practice and conditioning. That is why I recommend daily practice. Find the good. Find the delightful and the new. Find the blessings. Shift away from the negative, the hurtful, the destructive to the positive and the productive. Get it?

Over time we develop the habit of shifting our attention. Remember our energy flows where our attention goes. After a long enough duration of daily practice it becomes automatic. Be thankful for problems and obstacles. They help you strengthen the habit.

Shift when things are personally painful. When you are sick. When you feel overwhelmed by bills. When you feel lonely or underserving of love, kindness or abundance; shift from less than productive, less than glorious, negative, painful thoughts and feelings to the positive.

Your Emotions Amplify Your Thoughts – Stop Feeding The Weeds

Stop focusing on what is. Don’t deny it. Acknowledge it. It is a symptom. Focus on what you want instead. Put your attention on what you want. Get it? Create what you want!! Don’t get caught up in what is wrong. STOP and focus on what is right! Promote that.

The same can be said about current affairs, the political climate, the economy, wars and the world at large. Don’t focus on the wrongs. Notice, these are symptoms. Something must change. Don’t deny. Shift attention from the wrongs to what the rights can and must be.

Attend to what you want to build. Don’t focus on debt. Focus on making money. Don’t focus on war. Focus on creating peace. Don’t focus on illness. Focus on promoting health. Don’t focus on restrictions. Focus on ensuring freedom. BUILD what you want.

Reclaim Your Time Attention Energy And Feelings From Negativity

Be glad you can! Be glad you can find good. There is still always more right than there is wrong, but sometimes our perceptions get screwed up. Focus on the blessings. Focus on the fact that you can create change! Even if you don’t know how yet, you can do it.

Be grateful personally and for the world. Find the silver linings. Find the hidden gems. Seek to uncover treasures buried deep. You can miss them if you don’t look for them. Find what there is to be thankful and be thankful. You can! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Marvelous is this moment!

What Napoleon Hill Wants You To Know And Why!

February 24, 2017 rexsikes 2 Comments

“The following quotes are extremely important and powerful. If you understand them and apply them you can dramatically and positively up-level your life. You can make what you want to come true, come true. Think of these as immutable laws. They work.

As with anything powerful it comes with an upside and a downside. If your thoughts and beliefs are negative and sickly you are likely to experience life much the same way. Equally, if your thoughts are positive and healthy you will find life as much. It is up to you!

Great power comes at a price. If you want what it affords you, you must be willing to pay the price. You must accept responsibility and use it wisely. All that follows are quotes I selected from Napoleon Hill. Study these. Apply these. Transform your life because you can!

Thoughts Are Things And Powerful Things At That

‘You have a great potential for success, but first you must know your own mind and live your own life – then you will find and enjoy that mighty potential. Become acquainted with your inner self and you can win what you want within a time limit of your own choosing. Certain special techniques help you win the goals of your dearest dreams, and everyone of these techniques is easily within your power.’

‘It is a major indictment against the world’s educational systems that most people come into this world, live their span of years and pass on without being made aware of their thought power and the fact that their lives are made or unmade by this thought power. Worse, yet, we are taught all kinds of things and yet rarely taught to use our minds for the attainment of the one indispensable form of wealth – peace of mind.’

‘Your subconscious mind is your hidden boss. Although your conscious mind controls your conscious actions, the subconscious dictates the patterns of those actions. If, subconsciously, you are afraid to do something, you may fill in with excuses and evasions which prevent you from taking that action. But your subconscious can be persuaded to change any of its standing orders and thus completely change your life. Your subconscious mind is the seat of deep belief which becomes your constant guide.’

If You Do Not Conquer Yourself You Will Be Conquered By Self

‘Conceive a great step forward in your life, form a deep subconscious belief, and the belief becomes the very foundation of reality. Wishing won’t make it so, for a mere wish does not penetrate the depth of the mind; but a true belief becomes part of your complete being.

‘Belief is the key to basic mind-power which turns concepts into realities. Goals can be attained in ways which seem miraculous, yet we only use natural forces available to everyone. Even physical changes in the body can be caused by deeply implanted belief.’

‘The key to having quantities of money often lies in a simple process of auto-suggestion. Concentrate on precisely what you want, and you will see signposts that point the way. The forces of human evolution now have been brought under human control, and you can control your own evolution as a better, more successful person.’

It Takes A Habit To Replace A Habit

‘Your only limitation is the one you set up in your mind.’

‘Whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve.’

Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Sometimes we need powerful reminders just to stay on track. Here are a few. Understand what these mean, and apply them daily, and you can positively transform your life. It is just a matter of positive focus and concentration, application, dedication and persistence.

‘When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.’ Helen Keller

‘Do the thing and you will have the power.’ Ralph Waldo Emerson

‘Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.’ Earl Nightengale
