“I say it again and again. I remind people. I am an actor. Why do I do this? Because acting is pretending. I know some will dispute that definition, but my point is, we are all actors. We can pretend anything and master it. I have said this before. It is true AND…

It is important! We can act as if things are a certain way and they can be that way. Our brain works in this fashion. What we believe to be true is what we perceive from. WE THINK it is the other way around but scientific evidence proves otherwise. We operate from frames.

We operate from our frames of mind. If we have a negative frame of mind we experience much more negativity in our life. If we adopt a positive frame of mind we experience more positivity. Whatever we believe to be the case IS the case. There is no escaping this point.

The Only Way To Succeed In Anything Is To Give Everything

As Henry Ford said, ‘whether we think we can or we think we can’t we are right’. Our beliefs (thoughts we repeatedly think over and over again) determine our reality and how we behave in that reality. Having said that, in order to change, we adopt different beliefs.

We use different frames. This is what an actor does. We try on different points of view and different perceptions. We live as if we were the character with certain goals and aspirations, certain flaws and backstory. We act as if we are that person to make it believable.

It is still, after all, pretend, but we utilize a frame. Some of us do, at least, depending on our training. Still, all of us can benefit from the practice of acting as if we already have that which we want to have. We rehearse in advance what it is like to have it. This shapes us.

How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything – Play 100%

It shapes our perceptions and our beliefs of what is possible. It is an immensely valuable exercise. We can use it with any frame. The frame needn’t be true for us to benefit from it. We act as if it is true. This is where great value comes from. We adopt a frame of mind.

We live from that frame. Here is one particularly valuable to try on. When I say ‘try on’ I mean try it on for a while. Act as if it really IS the case. Pretend it is. Try it for a month. Believe it for at least that long. Repeat it over and over. Wrap it around you. Embrace it. Live it!

If after 30 days there is NO benefit exchange it for a more useful one. But at least give it a complete, full, dedicated trial. Don’t dabble but dive right in. Only when you are willing to play full on will you get the benefit you deserve and that is there for you. Halfway sucks!

Be Fearless In Pursuit Of What Sets Your Soul On Fire

Adopt this mindset: Everything you need, (I need) comes at the perfect time. The universe knows the best timing and things will always work out for the best in the end. You may not know how or why or when but they work out in the right time. ALL IS PERFECT.

You will have what you need when you need it. NOT according to you but according to a greater, infinite wisdom. Ask for what you want, tell the universe and then allow it to happen as it will. Do not put constraints on anything. Don’t try to force or manipulate.

Trust, allow and let go. Live from this mind set. Is it true? How do I know and who cares? I am suggesting you adopt a frame of mind that can transform the quality of YOUR life. I am not asking you to change religions I am suggesting you try on trusting for a time being.

If You Want To Win Be Willing To Feel Stupid And Be Embarrassed

Act as if this IS the reality. Be willing to dive into it. Be willing to play, to pretend, to believe, for at least a time being. BUT do it 110%. Halfway won’t benefit you. You can’t have one foot on the dock and the other on the boat and expect to get anywhere. Dive in. Trust.

Allow things to be. Celebrate them as they are. This may seem difficult because it means EVERYTHING is as it is supposed to be. Good and bad, problems and benefits are all according to a greater wisdom and mind than yours. Is there actually a greater mind?

WHO CARES? Act as if there is one. THEN you may actually find out. It is not for me to provide you with an answer. It is for you to discover your own answers. It is for you to live your own truth. People want someone to tell them in advance what is. Nope. No.

If You Want To Win Be Willing To Do Things That Might Not Work

That isn’t how things work. In order to get answers we actually have to put in the leg work. Information won’t change you but experience can. It is all up to you what you get from this or any practice. How well you do and benefit depends on how deep you dive in. Up to you!

No one else can do it or answer it for you. Only you can. Live trusting that everything comes to you when needed. This doesn’t mean you don’t act or work in your own benefit. Do and trust that however it works out there is good in it for you even if you can’t see it yet.

Expect ultimate good and expect miracles and you may find ultimate good and miracles. Perception is everything and you are more likely to discover these if you expect to than if you don’t believe it is possible. Get it? It is all up to you. MAGIC awaits you. Trust! TRUST!

Play Full Out – Be Fearless – Risk – Stay Open – Allow – Trust – Claim

What you get back from this practice is absolutely, completely up to you. Have fun. Dive in. Be grateful. Your world can become magical and miraculous. You can transform beyond your wildest wonderful dreams! Allow it. Expect the best and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Do You Have Any Clue What You Get To Do?

Leave a comment

horizons-reflrctions-phil-koch

“I got to make someone very happy today. I’d like to share it with you and something wonderful I learned. It will be quite short but I think important. I got to watch someone light up and have a dream come true. I got to be part of that and it is marvelous. Herein is the secret.

I helped a loved one buy her first new car. A 2017. A car she wanted. She came to me and asked if I’d help or co-sign if needed. I told her I’d go and listen but not to expect me to do anything. I’d pay attention but if the deal wasn’t a good one we would walk.

I went and I listened. I was prepared to say no. The deal, everything was fine. Still, my mind was set. No car. Then it occurred to me that in this I was saying, ‘no car’. I was focused on what I would not do. I was focused on not letting it happen. This isn’t how I live my life.

Let Go Of Negativity – Allow And Accept Positivity – Say Yes

Yet, that is what I was doing. It felt heavy. I then thought, I am here for a reason. I get to help someone fulfill her dream. I get to help her buy a car. I get to be here at that moment and witness her thrill and happiness. I get to…  and this moment was magical for me too.

Instead, of focusing on what I didn’t want or wasn’t going to do I switched my thinking to how fortunate I am that I get to do something. I get to assist. I made her down payment because I get to do that. I get do make things happen today. I get to celebrate all of it.

In an instant everything felt right. It felt wonderful. Incredible is a better word. It felt congruent. It aligned with my purpose. I get to participate in life. I get to make things happen. I get to be happy too. I get to solve problems. I am blessed and fortunate. I get to…

Let Go Of Who You Thought You Were And Become Who You Are

So often I think we feel burdened. We walk through life just okay. Heck, I get to walk through life. I get to wake up each morning. I get to live. I get to love. I get to enjoy. Even when there are problems that seem insurmountable I get to work through them. I am blessed.

I share this because I think this is an important mindset. We are fortunate. We are lucky. Not in a roll the dice way because I think as a creator we make our own luck and good fortune. We shape our destiny. We purposefully manufacture and also accept and attract.

We allow and permit or fight and resist. I get to do all of it. Whether I do one or the other I feel blissful or suffer. Still, I get to. Do you get it? We are fortunate wherever we are if we consider ourselves so. If we consider ourselves shit out of luck, then we are that as well.

Let Go Of Thoughts That Hold You Back And That Rob Your Power

Our mindset, our attitude, our thoughts and beliefs determine how we experience life. Our habitual thinking determines how we feel and whether life is incredible, so so or a crap storm. Whatever we decide and declare is what we experience. Really, think about that!

I have said no to life plenty of times. There are plenty of times when no may be the right answer. There are also those times we need to say yes. Let go and enjoy.  I got to have that awareness and those moments today. They continue. I am blessed and wanted to share. I get to! You do too! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

My Goodness There Is Something About You

“Remember this during a time of celebration, like Thanksgiving. More importantly, remember it each and every day you live. Celebrate it and be thankful. Daily practice is when you want to remember and validate it the most. Remind yourself each moment.

You are unique. There is no one like you. You aren’t in competition with anyone else in the universe. You are special. You are wonderful. You are marvelous. There never was nor will there be another like you. You are one of a kind. Accept, love and embrace yourself.

Accept your uniqueness. Allow it. You are a special offering. Your competition isn’t others it is with yourself. Be better tomorrow than you were today. Evolve. Improve. Get better. Live fuller and happier in each moment. Thrive. Take time to nurture and develop yourself.

Thanksgiving Could Be More Than A Yearly Event – Practice Daily

Develop yourself. Become the best you, you can become. There is no limit. There is only possibility and potential. Fill your mind with the best, the most positive and wonderful thoughts. Bask in the most glorious feelings. Help yourself and help others. Go the extra mile.

Your choices and your actions can lead to positive results. Make tomorrow a better day for you and others. You are here for a positive reason. Discover what that reason is and fulfill it. Be filled with joy, and peace and light. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have a beautiful day!

What They Heck Do You Have To Do To Get Some Coffee Around Here?

1 Comment

blue yellow cloudy sky lighthouse and water

“As I am known to do I burn the candle at both ends. I live large and long hours each day. I’ve been traveling a lot lately, busy all day, up late at night, because when day is done I still need to write and publish my blog.

This morning from about 4am on all I wanted was a cup of coffee. BUT…

Being busy I put off making it. Eventually, I decided I needed to get some nourishment so I made some bone broth soup, added some celery, carrot, mushrooms, onion and some spices. Much simpler than I normally would do but I was tired. This was tasty.

A Moment Of Gratitude Makes A Difference In Your Attitude

Back to work. As I was about to make coffee I got called away. Okay, it will wait. I did what I needed to do. I returned home and worked on some other business. I put off the coffee making until later. When I was again about to make it, again I got called away.

I went to pick up my son and take him to a movie. The journey to his mother’s house and the theater took an hour. We got to the theater and expected to see a particular feature. However, that would not start for another 2 hours. None of the movies we wanted would.

The coffee bar in the theater was gone. It had been replaced by a real bar. I needed to buy a ticket, go in and get it from the counter. We decided we would see the only movie NOW playing. ‘Fantastic Beasts’.  It was not a movie I wanted to see but there wasn’t another.

It’s Not Happy People Who Are Thankful …

Got tickets. Went to counter. Got him popcorn and drink. I learned I had to go to another counter to get coffee. I went to that counter. I said, ‘What you need to serve is soup.’ I was told I could order soup back at the bar. I didn’t want to go back over there so I asked for …

Yup, you guessed it. Coffee. I was told none was brewing and I would need to wait. I said, thanks but no thanks, as the movie was starting. We walked off and up the stairs to the big Ultra theater. Found our seats as the movie began. After a short while, I realized I liked it.

The movie was well made. It was engaging. We were enjoying it. Then I noticed someone coming our way. About 20 minutes into the movie this gentleman appeared. He said, ‘here is your coffee’. He also brought cream and sugar in case I wanted that. How’d he find us?

… But Thankful People Who Are Happy

I was completely surprised by this. I said, ‘how much?’ He said, ‘it is on the house’. I said, ‘no, no way I’d like to pay’. He said, ‘enjoy the movie. It is on the house’. He disappeared. I did enjoy the coffee. After all that is what I wanted since before dawn. I was gifted.

I fought getting a free gift. Silly me. Learn to be a gracious receiver. Soon I was thrilled. I was gifted coffee by a stranger. I didn’t expect it. I had given up hope of getting any until I got home or stopped along the way. Now, I had a great, hot cup of coffee, as if I had paid for it.

On the way I out I stopped at the counter and told them I’d like to pay for it. They said, ‘no way.’ They just wanted me to enjoy the show. I asked who the gentleman was who brought it to me. They said, their manager Adam. I asked them to point him out. They did.

Gratitude Opens The Door To Power Wisdom Creativity And More

My son and I went over. He saw us coming and stopped what he was doing. I told him they wouldn’t let me pay. He said, ‘nope, coffee was on the house and they just wanted me to enjoy the movie and my time there’. I told him I did and I was awestruck with their kindness.

We talked for about 10 minutes. His name is Adam. He manages the Majestic Theater in Brookfield. If you go to that theater tell Adam he rocks and that Rex is so pleased. He deserves more business and more kudos. This man went the extra mile in making my day.

For no reason at all other than he could do something nice. WOW! He generously gave. I balked a bit at receiving, but then graciously accepted their kindness and the kindness of the universe. It is little things like this that carry great weight and meaning.

What Are You Grateful For – Express Your Gratitude

Help another have a nice day. It is pretty simple when it gets right down to it. Help others feel better. Pay it forward. Let’s perform more simple, random acts of kindness. On top of it I was struck by how I got my cup of coffee. Not only free but I was SERVED it.

The universe provides! I feel blessed and fortunate. Grateful and delighted. I then got to take my kids and their loved ones to a dinner to celebrate thanksgiving a day before Thanksgiving. It was wonderful. I hope your Thanksgiving is extra special too. Put a smile on someone else’s face and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Are You Willing To Change?

Leave a comment

horizons-natures-bouguet-phil-koch

“Some people say they want a change. They may even feel that things must change. Some claim they want TO change. If you are one of these people who feels like you want or need to change some things in your life then read on. You can change. The process is simple.

Are you willing to be willing? This is an important question. Many people state they want to change but are unwilling to do just that. If you want your life to change you must change things in your life. You must be willing to try on different things just as you would clothing.

Try it on. Be willing to try it out. Some people don’t vary what they eat much. They have a limited diet. They know what they like or want. They are unwilling to try anything new. If you want to change you must, at the very least, be willing to be willing. Be open. Try it!

You Can’t Grow Unless You Are Willing To Change – Be Willing

Be willing to explore. Be willing to adventure. Be willing to experience some discomfort. Keep in mind if you explore and adventure into new territory the terrain will not be familiar. If you want to change be okay with that. Be available to having it different.

If it is different it can be uncomfortable. When you stay in a hotel or somewhere not your bed, some people have difficulty sleeping at first. It is not familiar or it is uncomfortable. Eventually, that will give way, but you must go through discomfort, at first. Are you willing?

If the answer is ‘YES’ then are you willing to release old, negative limiting beliefs? Are you willing to let go of habituated, chronic, less than glorious or non-productive thinking? If you are many great new wonderful benefits can come your way. New doors open up for you.

If You Want To Change Be Willing To Be Uncomfortable 

Old beliefs are merely old thoughts that stand in your way that you have adopted mostly from others while growing up. They weren’t yours but you repeatedly thought them over and over until they became yours. The time is ripe to let go and trade them in.

Trade them in for better thoughts. Thoughts are either supportive of what you want to do and accomplish or they are not supportive. Become aware of when you are thinking less than gloriously. What do I mean by that? When you are negative or down on you or life.

Notice when your thoughts don’t support you and commit to changing them. Exchange them for new thoughts that are positive and more fulfilling. Trade the old for new supportive thoughts and beliefs. You are no longer little so you have to do this on your own.

Be Willing To Surrender Who You Are For Who You Can Be

It is up to you to notice and make the changes. It is simple but not always easy. Still, it can be done. Hang in there. Think positive from the start. Think, ‘I can learn to do this. I will do this. No matter what I am able to think more positive. I am in charge of my thoughts’.

If you are willing to change then commit to changing. Have fun with it. Don’t take it too seriously but enjoy the process. Always remember you are in a process. That means there may be errors along the way but so what you are learning and changing!

Hang in there. Have fun. Be open, available and willing to change and you can and will surprise and delight yourself. You can change faster than you might ever imagine. While you are changing, now, practice being grateful. Practice gratitude! It will accelerate your learning and your changes. Be thankful and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have a great day!

We All Just Need Some Tough Love

2 Comments

horizons-1-bails-phil-koch

“In this day and age many want to be coddled. Some don’t want to hear that it takes hard work to make things happen. Some want to wish, others want to complain, a few want others to do it for them. Sadly, wishing, complaining, not doing or luck isn’t the best answer.

If you want your dreams to come true you have to make them come true. One of my favorite quotes is, ‘Luck is the crossroads where preparation and opportunity meet’. That takes thinking right and doing right. Both are required. Which is most important? Mindset.

Work smarter not harder. Having the right mindset is 95% of success. Doing smartly the other 5%. Still, people whine and complain and say it isn’t so. When I say ‘stop complaining and stop sniveling’ and start taking control of your mindset it is tough love.

The Power Of Determination Will Make You Unstoppable

Yes, I understand you might be having it very rough. I get it. Many of us have incredible challenges at different times in our lives. I simply want to remind you that thinking right and will power gets you further faster than complaining, blaming and making excuses.

Athletes have training coaches who don’t coddle but prod them, perhaps push them on to success. I need a coach or mentor, most people do. We need people who help us push past our own stopping points. We need role models and examples of those who succeed.

Many of us try to do it on our own. We allow our own habits of thought, feeling and action defeat us. We give up or give in to the easy way. Success or happiness or both require a different way of thinking and behaving. It comes to us when we go to it. Two-way!

Your Attitude Plus Your Choices Equals Your Life

Will it be easy? No, probably not, but it is simple. Get your mental act together and almost everything else falls into place! Does that mean the world changes for you? Probably not. Frankly, who truly knows. Miracles seem to happen to those who expect them to. Have faith!

Yet others wish and hope and want without anything seeming to happen. Hang in there. The temptation is to give up and throw in the towel but that doesn’t make anything happen. That is turning temporary defeat into permanent failure. Stop, do anything else!

Keep the faith. Work on your attitude and positive thinking. Stay optimistic. Believe you can find or create away. Realize that if you are flexible you can make corrections as necessary and adapt to any situation. You can even learn to go beyond them. Embrace challenge.

I Didn’t Come This Far – To Only Come This Far

Do not let your problems get the better of you. Be bigger than any problem or challenge. Learn how. Get your attitude working for you. Develop habits for success. Think, feel and act like a champion. You’ll get further faster than acting like a wimp. Sorry, but it is true.

That hay won’t get bailed by whining and complaining. Nor will it go quicker with a crappy attitude. It may actually take longer if you resist. Develop determination to do the positive good actions required of you to make happen that which you desire most.

Think positive and feel positive. Take positive action steps toward the results you want. If you don’t yet know what to do you will learn as you go. Walk as far ahead as you can see and when you get there you will see farther. That is how it works. Mindset leads to results.

Attitude Is The Difference Between An Ordeal And An Adventure

Develop indomitable spirit. Grow your backbone. Put in the time controlling your thoughts and soon you will be surprised. If it isn’t working for you, it isn’t working YET for you. Develop good success habits. Fill your mind  with inspiring and motivational thoughts.

Adopt a CAN DO attitude. If you don’t know how you can learn. Study. Spend time with people who are making positive things happen. You have to change what you are doing if you want to change your life. Success breeds more success. Hang in there.

Study this blog. Read the great thought leaders. Live what you learn. If you don’t apply it nothing will change. You may need to change your main circle of influence and seek out new positive people. If you do nothing and remain the same YOU WILL remain the same.

If You Are Willing To Learn No One Can Stop You – Be Unstoppable

Action is the proper fruit of knowledge. To know it but not to do it is to not know it. If you haven’t yet got the result you desire change what you are doing in positive ways. It will come in time. Stick with it. Believe it and believe in yourself. This is tough love. Love yourself!

If nothing else fully practice gratitude. Delight and enjoy. Be thankful for what you can presently do, what you will someday do. Be thankful for what you do have and what you will have. Gratitude will make an incredible difference for you. You will only discover this difference when you actually celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Need To Be In Charge Of Your Life! Are You?

Leave a comment

horizons-homesoil-stormed-phil-koch

“The bottom line in personal change work is to realize who is driving your car. Are you the driver or someone else? If you don’t take control of your own mind and thinking process, and learn to control it, then someone else, from your past, is driving for you.

You are living and thinking and acting from previous old conditioning. You are living out old habitual life scripts reliably day in and day out. You only truly become free when you decide to take full responsibility for yourself. You become free when you take charge.

Re-condition your mind to be your servant instead of your master. Put it to work for you. Align your resources both inner and outer. Claim you life back. Assert your ability to be in charge and hold yourself accountable. This is where your freedom comes from!

When You Master Your Mind You Master Everything

No excuses, no blames, no whining or complaints. You own up to everything. If you are late it is because YOU are late. It is not because of traffic or weather or anything else. YOU could have left earlier but you didn’t. YOU are the reason YOU are late.

No harm no foul. Better luck next time if you are allowed another opportunity. Next time make sure you aren’t late. Make sure you are on time. This is how you learn and evolve. This is how you get your life back deliberately. You own up to it. You act in charge. You are!

Be fearless. Be certain. Be courageous and expect good to come your way. Enjoy and delight. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Can We Correct What Is Wrong In The World?

Leave a comment

horizons-here-we-stand-phil-koch

“My real world is filled with joy and peace and all good things. Blessing and love. I’m determined to create what I want by focusing on what is good and right; by correcting the wrong peacefully and positively. I believe in adding value to others and going further.

I think it important to go the extra mile and deliver more than you promise. I believe it best to help others when you can instead of judging others. We are humans and in many ways we have been conditioned to hate, to divide, to be intolerant and negative.

We can rise above our intolerance and our hate. We can stop tearing down and disenfranchising others who are not like us. We can learn to accept and to invite. We can welcome and include. We can help and assist. Why? Because I am for life not against it.

Go The Extra Mile – It Is Never Crowded – Make A Difference

I am for wealth not against it. I am for all people not against them. I am for love and creativity. I am for imagination and going beyond what is wrong. I am for god’s way, or the universe’s way above and beyond the human’s way. I am all for higher purpose and kindness.

We can do great things when we unite and work as a team. We can positively change the world for the better or we can fight and worry and fear and hate and kill each other. I opt for peace, love and positivity. I think we do more good when we create and include.

When we spend our time tearing down, resisting, fighting or opposing what we don’t want we are too focused on what we don’t want and not focused enough on what we would rather have. It is important to be clear about what we want. This is critical. We must!

You Can Start Right From Where You Are At

To build something better we need a blueprint. We need to know what we are going to build not just what we don’t want. However, knowing what we don’t like can help us get more specific about what we do want. Then we need to focus on that. I mean, really focus on it.

We all need to grow up a bit and stop complaining and whining about how things are. We need to realize when things are not to our liking we have an opportunity to create something different. We should think as creators and artists and enjoy the process.

We can make things better. How incredible is that? Instead of it being a burden it could be our joy. Let’s take responsibility for creating the world we want to inhabit instead of yelling at all the wrongdoers and wrong ideas. Let’s create with joy and delight.

No Act Of Kindness No Matter How Small Is Ever Wasted

Let’s find a way to be grateful for the ‘wrongs’ in the world because they help us know what we want. They allow us to focus and plan to make something better. They allow us to become creative and work together to improve the world. I say celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have a beautiful day.

Why You Should Never Ever Quit

Leave a comment

horizons-scuppernong-phil-koch

“All things we learn are at first difficult to do. As infants we learned many difficult things prior to learning how to comment on how we were doing. We just did and did and did without quitting. We were learning machines. We didn’t know not to do things until told.

We learned to roll over, crawl, sit up, balance, walk, talk, feed ourselves, use a toilet, read and write, hobbies, sports and passions We learned many useful thing and many not so useful things. Plus, we learned to limit ourselves, to give up our goals and dreams.

We learned to talk ourselves out of trying harder. We learned to give up. We learned the good and the not so good. We learned so many things. We learned supportive habits and non-supportive habits. We were the ultimate winners who learned how to become losers.

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

We went from never giving up to criticizing, blaming and exucsing ourselves and others. We went from never quitting to thinking and talking crap. Instead of remaining great learners we learned if we don’t succeed in three tries we should quit. We learned to give up.

We can change this! We can learn to control our thoughts and feelings. We can reverse the damage, Learning this is similar to learning anything else we have. We repeat the thoughts we want to think over and over again. It takes application and commitment.

We think the supportive thoughts we want to think instead of the non-supportive ones. We focus on our mission and goals positively. Eventually, we learn. Then these positive thoughts become our new habitual  thoughts. We replace negative ones for the positive.

Application Is The Proper Fruit Of Knowledge – Apply It – Do It

It isn’t always easy but it is simple. It is not impossible! This is absolutely doable! Stick with it and you will get better and better. Stay with it and you will eventually master your thinking. Become the master of your own mind! When you do new doors open up.

This is why Napoleon Hill said you can Think And Grow Rich. ‘If you can conceive it and believe it you can achieve it.’ As Earl Nightengale pointed out it is The Strangest Secret. ‘You become what you think about’.  YOU learn you can make things happen. AND you do!

When you take control of your mind back you can ask for and receive almost anything! It is all up to you. You make things happen because you are able to align your thinking, feeling and actions in one direction. You develop laser focus. You become unstoppable.

You stop being a victim and become a victor. You become a champion. You create and amazing future. You discover the incredible positive power you have to accomplish your goals and achieve your dreams. You learned everything else. Now, learn this too! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“I am an actor. I love to pretend. I can pretend anything and master it. That is what acting is all about. Acting as if your character and the story is real. Being believable by believing it. Thinking the thoughts the character is thinking. I love being an actor. I love pretending.

‘Act As If’ it is real  – is a tool for creation. Imagine the good you desire as though you already are in possession of it. Visualize yourself  already as the person you wish to become. Pretend it! When you do you ‘trick’ the brain. It doesn’t know the difference.

Doing this aligns your inner resources. It helps realize your desires to make them crystal clear. You infuse your dreams with energy, passion and enthusiasm. You rehearse living your desires right now. You enact, what it IS like, by acting what it will be like right now!

To Enjoy Success One Must Travel In Advance Of The World

You think, feel and act as you would think, feel and act when you have what you want. You train your brain and your entire being to accept that this IS who you are and what you have. You live from power and ownership of the good you desire instead of hoping for it.

Use pretending, use ‘act as if’, to give yourself the edge to make your dreams come true. Athletes know the advantage visualization and mental rehearsal gives them, at the micro-muscle level, to improve their performance. Many testify to this incredible power.

Use it. Prepare your mind and your being to accept what you want to have. Living from having it, from being there, helps you clear blocks and limitations. It helps you to plan and know what action steps to take to get your goal. You prepare the soil for the seeds to grow.

To Know And Not To Do Is To Not Actually Know – Apply It

You can read all about it but unless you do it, you won’t know it. Application is the proper fruit of knowledge. You must do it to know the benefit of doing it. Don’t delay. Begin today. Be grateful for all you have now and will have. Practice gratitude because that further helps unlock the floodgates. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Notice all the good things about your life today and enjoy!
