Can You Answer These Questions?

“Ernest Holmes insisted that our ‘outward life is a result of the subjective state of our thoughts.’ Others have insisted the same since before recorded history. We create our reality. Quantum Physics seems to suggest the same. Is it true? Seems to be.

Look at all the buildings and traffic around you. This all first started inside some people’s heads. Architects and engineers made blueprints and then carried out the plans to make it so. What we think is critical to what we create. We live from the inside out.

Keep that in mind!  Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Stop Believing The Lies That Hold You Back From Having The Life You Want!

“I am going to say something you may think controversial. You may immediately disagree. I ask you to hold all judgement in abeyance until after I have presented my case. Then, do whatever you feel you must.  All thoughts and all beliefs are lies. They are falsehoods.

Not the intentional kind but they are falsehoods nonetheless. Our thoughts, our assumptions, our expectations, our beliefs frame what we notice, pay attention to, and operate from. They need not be accurate or true to be effective or have an affect.

At best they’re partial glimpses of the world we co-opted from others while growing up, some derived from experience. You can think or believe anything inaccurately, wrongly or stupidly. That’s why it’s critical to gain clarity on what you think and believe.

Today You Are Where Your Thoughts Have Brought You

It is critical to gain clarity on supportive versus non-supportive beliefs . Since all thought and beliefs are only a partial view of everything there is, it is critical we learn to choose supportive beliefs that help us create, and make happen, what we want in our lives.

It is imperative we choose the best, most positive, powerful beliefs that move us forward, assist us in overcoming obstacles and limitations, and motivate us to create the life we deserve to live. It is a choice. Of course, it isn’t if you don’t believe it to be. Decide!

If you believe you are hampered by thoughts, behaviors, others, the world, the economy and the weather then you have adopted a victim mentality that puts you at the effect of all else. Adopting the beliefs that you are at cause and able to triumph over all is a useful belief.

Tomorrow You Will Be Where Your Thoughts Take You

You may or may not triumph over all but better to try and fail, is it not, than to never try at all? Choose new, powerful, supportive beliefs that you can do whatever you put your mind to. You can learn to create abundance and live the life of your dreams. You can!

If you don’t declare this; if you don’t affirm this; if you don’t believe this, what is the alternative? How is that any better? You determine your reality by your mindset and it either empowers and supports you or disempowers you and is not supportive. It is your choice.

It is always your choice. The affirmations you recite now with passion and enthusiasm may not yet be accurate. Repeated long enough, often enough with enough intensity and they will become your new thought habits. They will replace the old negative ones.

You Cannot Escape The Power Of Your Thoughts

Condition your mind for success. Condition yourself for success. Enjoy more happiness, more prosperity, more love, more fun, more freedom by creating what you want. Imagine it and believe it. Keep at it until you bring it about it. It is all in your hands. Your mindset.

It is all between your ears, so to speak. Gain control over your thoughts and feelings and you gain control over your life. I’ll let you disagree with this if you wish. Create whatever reality you want. After all, it is your life. You decide how you want it to play out.

Do those things that support you in being who you want to be, doing what you want to do and having what you want to have. No one else can do this for you. Practice believing that which makes the future you desire, possible. Practice gratitude and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

I hope you are enjoying the Prosperity Summit. I am. These first three days rocked. Day 4 begins. You can watch or listen to these great speakers anytime, at your leisure, for a limited amount of time. Take advantage of this opportunity now.

Eliminate Unwanted Behaviors Now Using These Tips!

“You want to change but have not been able to. You’d like to stop whatever holds you back and move forward powerfully. You want to get better at particular skills and improve what you do. Continue to read on and learn how you can increase these abilities right now.

In order to change we need to replace the non-supportive habits we have grown up with. We need to replace the limited thinking and mental conditioning we adopted and grew up being influenced by. We need to practice new positive thoughts and feelings.

We need to develop positive new supportive habits to take their place.  We do this by practice. We do this by rehearsing the new thoughts, feelings and behaviors as we do any skill. Practice a little bit each day makes a world of difference. Athletes know this.

Practice Is The Difference Between Ordinary And Extraordinary

To get good at anything you must schedule time for it.  Through correct practice and  repetition for a long enough duration we create the neural pathways that are necessary to make these new habits. It is better to do a little bit daily than a lot once or twice a week.

We create new supportive thought, feeling and behavioral habits that then become automatic and reliable and replace the old ones. This is how we change. This is why we must persist. I have shared this with you for many years prior to, and within, these blogs.

Click Here To Watch This Must See Brief TedTalk Video On Practice

Hope you enjoyed this video. I hope it helped you understand why we need to dedicate ourselves to our own personal transformation. Correct practice works.  Practice those things that count. Create positive thought habits, feeling habits and behaviors. Practice!

Practice Gratitude. Practice feeling blessed. Practice feeling the good you desire as already having occurred. Practice visualizing and affirmations. You get better and better as you do. You can develop incredibly powerful positive habits. Begin today! Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes

I hope you are enjoying the new additions to my blog. Please let me know your thoughts. Please respond to the survey questions I asked you a few days back. Some readers have and I would appreciate if you would so I can better serve you. I want to add more value to you.

I also include a link to an article I hope you enjoy. Pope Francis on giving. I think he made some excellent points and am providing the link so you can read it too.

Click Here To Read Article On Giving

Giving can be an unconditional act which seems to be the biblical injunction, or it can be a qualified act expecting some form of reciprocation. True compassion, true giving, means you give without qualifications. There are no strings attached.

Don’t worry about how the recipient utilizes your gift. Give and connect with the people you give to.  Treat people as people. Don’t just pass by the people you might give to on the street,  My belief is this form of giving is similar to the biblical form of forgiveness.

Forgive to forgive. Your forgiveness releases you. It has nothing to do with the object of your forgiveness. Let it go and go beyond petty grudges and ‘I’ll forgive but will never forget’ thinking. Give.  Forgive. Love. Help heal freely without qualifications. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

When You Understand This You More Easily Make Changes

Want To Change Your Life-

“Why is it we have difficulty changing? What prevents us from easily getting what we want? You need to know this. First awareness then right action produces change. Read on and you can transform you life. LOOK for the LINK BELOW after my blog. Check it out now!

I had been wrestling with a major respiratory ailment for a few weeks now. I say that only to put it in a historical perspective. It has been an incredible blessing and I have learned a lot going through it. I’ve learned so much about manifesting what we want more of.

In order to be healthy or wealthy or happy one needs to feel healthy or wealthy or happy first. From that feeling or state of being we more readily manifest what we desire. So during this time I emphasized how incredible I feel and how blessed I am. It works!

We Are What We Repeatedly Do Excellence Is A Habit Not An Act

What I want to share with you is something I have been pointing out for many, many years. How our habits dictate what we do, pay attention to, what we get and why we must replace these in order to make the changes we want to. Here’s an example from my life.

About a week ago the electrical socket in one of my bathrooms went bad. It throws the circuit breaker. No power in rooms. 3 of the bedrooms and a bathroom. Because of my condition I didn’t run out to replace it. There are no lights or electricity in any of the rooms.

Nearly, every time I go into one of the rooms, particularly the bathroom, I hit the light switch. I know it doesn’t work but I turn it on anyway. I have done this nearly every time I enter. Why do I do it when I know it doesn’t work? Habit! It is a habit. It is reliable.

Skill To Do Comes Of Doing 

My brain knows what to do because it has always done it. It will continue to until a new habit replaces it. If I never replace the socket eventually the light turning on behavior would extinguish. That would take as long and as many times as it takes. It is what it is.

Why is this example important? When it comes to making the changes you want, you have to hang in there long enough to override the old conditioning. You need to replace the old non-supportive habits with new supportive ones. Your brain doesn’t care.

Your brain doesn’t know the difference between a supportive habit and a non-supportive one any more than it knows the electricity is off in my bathroom. It does what it does. In order to change what it does we must change what we do. We must practice it and rehearse.

You Go Where Your Thoughts Take You 

We continue to perform new thoughts, feelings and behaviors until they become reliable new replacement habits. The good news is as we begin to change these habits the process of changing habits becomes easier. The more we do the more we can do.

As Emerson said, ‘do the thing and get the power’. I hope you learn and use this example from my life to transform yours. Manage your thoughts and feelings. Those who complain that The Secret doesn’t work are typically those who don’t try correctly for long enough.

It isn’t magic. It isn’t wishful thinking. It is dedication to replacing limiting thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors that no longer serve us, but have prevented us from living as we want to. We can change anything we want but we must be committed to changing.

Take Control Of Your Habits Take Control Of Your Life

Find blessings in everything. Look each day for what you can feel thrilled about and grateful for. Make it a habit. You will radically transform your life for the better, and discover the improvements you seek when you live in appreciation and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

horizons-1-crashing-phil-koch

I will be adding a new set of features to my blog that I think you will really like. In my quest to continue to add greater and greater value I want to be able to introduce you to some important concepts and people. I’ll still share and write blogs from time to time as I have.

I’ll incorporate more tips, advice, suggestions from others too. I’ll review the best books, videos, mp3s, products and programs, that I have either used or know the authors of.  I’ll include links to articles and resources that are free or for purchase. The best of both!

I want to share the very best of what absolutely works with you so you can include these in your home study and personal transformation.  I haven’t fully decided how or when this will all unfold but I hope you are as excited by this as I am.

This way you will continue to receive the highest value and finest transformational goodies available. Some things I share you may already be familiar with or have utilized, some you may not have heard of. My plan is to unfold this in coming days, weeks and months.

Anything I recommend or anything I provide a link to will be something I am personally familiar with! No BS, just the best!

For now I’d like to kick it all this off with a brief video.  I think you’ll love the principles behind what happens in it. It’s called ‘The Death Crawl’ from the movie ‘Facing Giants’. If you ever doubt yourself watch this video. It’s only a few minutes. Watch it now!

You Are Not The Thoughts You Think

horizons hidden-valley-phil-koch

“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

Today’s Collected Wisdom To Keep In Mind

horizons-what-kind-of-world-do-you-want-phil-koch

“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.

Disney If You Can Dream It

“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!
