You Become The Role You Play So Choose Wisely!

Horizons 2-seeds-phil-koch

“From early on you borrowed the beliefs, values, rules and reasons of others. You made these yours before you could even decide whether you wanted them or not. Your mental programming was set and, experience you had, further supported your adopted mindset.

Of course, it had to support it because, as neuroscience informs us, we live from our programming. Our world view is first fashioned on the inside. THEN what we notice or don’t notice is dependent on that mindset.  It is dependent on our Reticular Activating System.

The RAS finds matches in the outer world and within our experience that matches our predisposition. Thus, we tend to think, feel, act and behave from that previous conditioning. We tend to play out the role we have accepted for ourselves from early on. Actors fulfilling a role.

To Guarantee Success – Act As If – It Is Impossible To Fail

In order to make changes we have to change how we think, feel and act. Manage your thoughts, take control of your thinking, and you will change your life. Your feelings and your behaviors will follow. It begins with thought, everything stems from your thoughts.

Think you are already it.  Act as if you already have it. When you do will feel it and become it. You play the role.  Behave the role, just as an actor does. Think the thoughts of the character and feel the part until you become it.

Act as if you are already a wealthy entrepreneur and you increase the likelihood of becoming one. Act as if you are already happy and you become happier. Act as if you are already successful and you become more successful. It works.  You have to do it to know it!

Live As If You Already Have It – Believe It – And It Can Be Yours

You travel in advance of the world by aiming your thoughts, feelings and behaviors at becoming what it is and who it is you want to become.  Act as if, first and reap the rewards, second. Plant the seeds first and then second you reap the harvest. It works this way. Do it!

Act as if you already have the home, car, money, career, whatever it is you want, feel grateful for already having it and you open the doorways of your own neurology to be more capable of getting it. You put your brain power on the side of making it happen.

Many people don’t act because they are afraid, they worry, they doubt they can’t get it or do it. They hope they might become it but don’t believe they can. When you act as if you engage your subconscious mind in helping you make it your reality.

Act As If You Are Already That Person You Want To Become

You pretend it fully. You act it. You rehearse it. You do what a happy, successful person does and you learn the thoughts, feelings and behaviors while pretending. You go through the motions as you would practicing a golf swing, or piano, or dance step.

When the going gets tough you get what you practice. If you want to be more successful practice being successful already. Rehearse it. Act as if. You can pretend anything and master it, if you are willing to. So take control of your life and the results you get by doing it now.

Feel the good feelings. Feel happy, rich, confident, attractive, persuasive, now. Practice, act as if, you already are any one or all of these traits. Feel grateful, enjoy it. Practice feeling certainty and powerful and positive. Celebrate yourself and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Don’t miss the fun you can have today!

Without You: It Just Is Not The Same And Here’s Why

Horizons distant-rise-phil-koch

“What is sad in our world is there are actors who don’t act; dancers who don’t dance; writers who don’t write;  poets who don’t do their poetry; musicians who don’t play music; athletes who give up and people who do not pursue their passions and dreams.

Don’t quit. Live your dream. Make it happen. Life is too short not to indulge your talents and abilities, your imagination and creativity in some fashion. Live your art, your craft, your skill. Share it with others, share with the world. We need you! You inspire the rest.

Bring   more positive passion into your life.  Bring more imagination. Bring more creativity. Bring more of yourself. It is who you are! Bring play, bring delight, bring joy.  Live your life and fill your hearts desire . Feel your dream . Live your dream.

To Practice Any Art No Matter How Well Makes Your Soul Grow

Even if you do it only as hobby, do it. It needn’t be a career unless you feel it must. Use your time well. Don’t give up. Do what you want to to accomplish. Achieve, and succeed. Live large! Feel fulfilled in joy and delight. There is satisfaction in creation and completion.

You, your talents, are a necessary part of everything. Share. Lift your voice up. Even if not one single other person cares, you do. You matter. Your passions matter. Your art, your performance, your ability matters, as does your sharing of it. Share yourself! Live it.

Don’t put your light under a basket, let everyone see it. It is the people who imagine, who create, who pursue ideas who lead all the rest. Each of us has something to offer. Seek it inside yourself and bring it forth. Explore it, discover it, adventure and share!

You Were Not Born To Just Pay Bills And Die – Share Your Passion

All the world benefits from good people doing good things. Let your light shine! Play, create, dream, imagine, build, delight and enjoy. Be glad for your passion. Appreciate yourself and your abilities. If they are raw and underdeveloped take time and develop them.

The world needs you. You are here for a purpose. There is a reason whether you know it or not and whether you understand it or not. You are a valuable part of all it. You really are! We really do need you! Share yourself! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

The Little Known Good News You Have In Common With A Gardener

horizons esting-phil-koch

“There is some great news from neuroscientists. Perhaps, you haven’t yet heard it. It has been around for a while but for some reason it hasn’t received the attention it deserves. It IS a big deal and you should know it.

Some people struggle with the concept of personal change or evolution. They worry about how long things take or if they will ever see a new day. Some try, abandon it, and claim their efforts produced nothing. This news gives can give you hope if you’ve ever done this.

Your Thoughts Are Seeds Prune The Weeds Grow More Happiness

You can replace the old chronic mental habits and conditioning with new conditioning. Yup, that is the news! Wow, you are probably thinking, ‘you have already told us that many times. I knew that! Big deal’.  Yes, but it IS good news. Scientists call it ‘pruning’.

Just like what one does to plants in a garden you remove the old unwanted mental programs BY replacing them with the new. The old ones actually get starved nutritionally and die off. You no longer travel the old mental pathways because the brain doesn’t use them.

You starved them off by focusing on the new ones you prefer instead. In time, through correct repetition, your brain adopts the new ones. This is WHY managing your thoughts, getting control over your thinking IS so important. You CAN make the changes you want.

Plant Your Feet – Prune Your Fears – Pick Your Future

Your brain accepts WHATEVER you feed it. It will prune what you don’t use. It will grow what you provide for. You can be free from habits that have plagued you when you DELIBERATELY do what it takes to change them; focus on what is wanted and repetition.

That is simple enough. Stop feeding what you don’t want and feed what you do want. This is another reason why gratitude is so powerful. When you focus on why you are blessed, in so many ways, your focus is on the good and  the positive. You emphasize it.

You reinforce it by concentrating on it. You feel IT when you appreciate it. Like thoughts and feelings produce more like thoughts and feelings. When you feel like it you ACT accordingly. Your actions become more productive and you produce better results.

Fall In Love With Taking Care Of Yourself – Mind Body And Spirit

The better the results YOU produce the more you change your life. It’s cyclic. Feed what you want as a gardner does. Cut off and remove the old to make more room for new growth.  As you do your garden flourishes. Become excited by what you can accomplish!

Make your mental garden and your acutal life beautiful.  You can have incredible,  powerful and lasting changes! Concentrate only on what you want more of. Take control of your thoughts. You’ll create more good  as you focus, have fun, delight, appreciate and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have fun, delight, discover and enjoy!

No One Else But You Can Do This!

Horizon frozen-tracks-phil-koch

“Sometimes others can help us. Finding the right coaches and mentors is invaluable. Learning and training is important. We benefit from support and assistance, but there is one thing only YOU can do.

Living up to your potential is completely up to you. It is in your hands alone. Only you can make the decision to do it. If you haven’t decided to live up to your best yet, you can bet you aren’t. True dat!

The Best Thing You Can Do –  Is Be The Best At Being You

Decide to be the best you possible. Commit to yourself.  There is only one you. Why not live it to the fullest? You deserve to.  Determine what your life and your future will be like. Then do it!

Never underestimate yourself. Never underestimate what you are capable of and what you can accomplish. If you can conceive it and believe it you can achieve it. You can! Always remember this!

You May Have To Go Through The Worst  – To Get To The Best

Doing great is a choice. Most people, sadly, live ho-hum, mediocre lives. You don’t have to. You can live the kind of life you want to live if you determine to do it. Never ever settle for less than your best.

Be the best you and make your dreams come true. Never count yourself out, but rather, count yourself in. Focus on the positive about yourself and nurture it. Learn, excel succeed and enjoy!

Are You Being The Best Or The Worst That Has Happened To You

Be grateful. ALL of life is a blessing, the good times and the bad. You may not yet realize that, but it is true! Find the good in everything and in everyone, including yourself. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have fun, delight, discover and enjoy!

You’ll Be Much Better Off Doing This Daily

Horizons homeland-phil-koch

“If you want enduring success and happiness there are some simple things you must do. Failure to do them, most probably means, you won’t get what you want. However, IF you do them, your outlook for happiness and success becomes very great, It is simple and easy.

Today, set your mind on getting your goals. Become determined. Develop your power of concentration and focus. Control your thoughts and your mind. Make the decision that you will do it no matter what. Become steel-willed and live your purpose!

If you find that difficult, or if you find it difficult to believe you are the kind of person who can, realize you are only thinking from old, prior, conditioned  thought habits. Some people call it ‘stinkin thinkin’. Old conditioning is conflicting with the new thoughts.

If Your Habits Don’t Serve You – It Is Time To Change Your Habits

Your brain is attempting to preserve the old way. It is trying to help you continue to be the same. It is attempting to keep doing what you already know. However, if you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got. You will stay limited.

If you want to BE different, now, if you want to change your life, then you must change some of the things you are thinking and doing on a daily basis. You must learn and engage in new habits of success. You must decide to be different and then practice the new way.

Practice it each day, throughout the day, until you master it. Begin with your thoughts since those come before anything else. Think the best thoughts you can each moment. Believe in yourself! Some people will tell you ‘positive thinking’ isn’t important.

Have The Courage To Dream Big And The Will To See It Through

They say ‘just do it’. Don’t think about it. Do the behavior. I say, ‘just do it’ too, but it is your thinking that determines whether or not you will. It precedes your feelings. The first things to get control over, THAT you CAN get control over are  your thoughts.

Manage you mental images and your self talk. Keep it up-lifting. Manage it. As you do your feelings follow. You feel good when you think positive and you think more positive as you feel good. When you feel good you feel more like do what you need to do. Get it?

Begin, by determining what you want, and affirming it. Repeat it out-loud enthusiastically,  with great emotion. Mean what you say.  Do it whenever you can, out-loud and silently. If you hear yourself say things out-loud or silently to yourself that don’t support you, stop it.

Believe In Yourself – You Can Achieve It If You Believe You Can 

Stop and phrase it differently, stating what you do want, instead. Begin today! Apply it to your goals. Apply it to your major purpose and plans for your life. Don’t delay. Do it! The longer you wait to start, the longer you will have waited.  That is all waiting does.

Think and say; ‘I know my goal. I know what I want. Today, I am going for it! I realize that all I have to do is do it! All I have to do is go for it. I take action. I go for it! I am putting all my energy and attention into making it work. I am able. I can get my goals. I am un-stoppable!’

Put it into your own words. Power yourself up, control your thinking, aim your mind, feelings and behaviors into thinking, feeling AND doing those things, large or small, that move you forward. Tiny things are better than none. Positivity is better than negativity.

Believe It – Feel It – Take Action – Make It A Habit – Brings Success

Think; ‘I can do this. I can learn to enjoy it. This is fun. I like getting what I want. I do what it takes to get my goal. I can learn to do it and enjoy it. I am confident and capable. I a positive and powerful. I like making things happen for me and others! I direct my thoughts!’

Take charge. Be invincible and determined. Make it happen. A little bit gets great results, when done correctly, consistently, repeatedly over a long enough time. It is simple and it is basic. Master the simple and master the basics and your entire life can transform. It will!

The people who are most happy and successful are not engaged in elaborate , complicated processes. They are just like you and I, except that they have mastered basic success habits that they do everyday. You can too! Do it! AND celebrate everything!”

This day, today, is your day!

Expert Reveals: The Number 1 Reason You Fail To Get What You Want

horizons ighthouse-phil-koch

You set goals. You may even write them out. You visualize and you practice using the Law Of Attraction but nothing happens. You don’t get what you want, it doesn’t happen and it is frustrating. It is downright disappointing. So you chuck it. Been there done that.

Ha you experienced this or something like it? You try again. You have big, important wants. You want freedom, money, love, fame, success, a new career, a job, a new car or home, more vacation time, a significant other, you name it you want it. But you don’t get it.

Not yet, at least. Here is the number one determining factor between those who do make things happen for themselves and those who don’t. Those who ‘don’t’ expect it to come from outside them; the universe, god or others, provide it. They rely on others.

Action Is The Proper Fruit Of Knowledge

They visualize, they chant, they pray, they believe in the power, they affirm, hug trees, dance naked in the moon light, perform rituals and ceremonies, but nothing much changes much. The beg, plead, ask, shout and demand. They stamp their feet, yet, nothing happens.

Why is this? They put the source of power outside themselves. That is part of the reason. No one and no thing or entity or power is going to bestow it on you. Only you are going to make it happen or you will not make it happen. So here is the number one reason.

You want it. You desire it. You wish for it. However, you are not determined to get it. Yes, you want and need it, but you are still not determined to do whatever you must in a positive, productive, legitimate and honest way to get it. Otherwise you’d have it!

The More We Do The More We Can Do

Determination is the key. Those who are determined to be it or have it don’t let anything stop them. They do whatever is necessary to ensure they become and have what they want. They know it is totally up to them. They work at it and keep at it until they make it.

They may also affirm and visualize and dance naked and perform rituals and pray, and ask and demand but when it comes down to it they know it is completely about their mindset and their actions. If you have the right mindset and correct actions, results can follow.

Without it you end up spinning your wheels. Thought precedes feelings. They KNOW they will succeed. They feel it. They expect it they ARE CERTAIN. There is no way in hell they won’t have what they want because they will keep going until they do. Back-bone!

Faith Without Works Is Dead – Take Action – Make It Happen

Steel will power. They endure defeat, humiliations countless times along the way but they have the fight of a champion warrior in them. They have the mind of a victor and winner. Most other people hope, wish and give up. The warrior may work harder but doesn’t have to.

Because the mindset of the determined person is so focused this person does what is necessary and doesn’t consider it work. They enjoy making their dreams and goals come true. They do it gladly. The know what they want and they go after it with passion.

They are enthusiastic. They enlist others to help them by cultivating a winning, pleasing, personality. They understand that to succeed means to work with others and collaborate. Everyone in the boat rises together with the tide. They are a valued team player.

Whatever You Conceive And Believe You Can Achieve …

Their attitude is positive and optimistic. They aren’t imagining fantasy, they are positively thinking ‘I will do this! I can do this!’ They control and manage their thoughts.  They focus on the positive and eliminate the negative, to make it happen. Attitude is everything!

Their thoughts are aligned, targeted, powerful and positive which give rise to good, strong, feelings and emotions that anything is possible. They feel unlimited, eager and excited. Because their thoughts and feelings are aligned their actions follow too.

They act because they believe their actions will bare fruit. If they make mistakes they correct them. They overcome obstacles and difficulties. They are prepared that it won’t always be easy or comfortable, but that doesn’t prevent them. They enjoy challenge.

Key Words Are – You Can Achieve – Because It Is You Who Doing It

Their positive, powerful, productive thoughts, feelings and inspired actions ARE success habits. They have cultivated habits that support their pursuit. Still, they are driven and determined and always follow through. They are leaders and blaze the way. Winners never quit!

Yes, they may rely on coaches and mentors and others who have succeeded before them because these people are yes sayers not nay sayers. They understand the value of proper guidance and accept the wisdom of more experienced players. They learn and evolve!

This is a critical difference between those who have and those who don’t. Those who have DETERMINE to have. The others who want and hope but fear leaving their comfort zones miss out. If you want success you must stretch yourself and determine to make it yours.

Wake Up With Determination – Go To Bed With Satisfaction

The people who succeed the easiest are inspired by their wins and the wins of others. They aren’t envious or resentful. They are happy when people thrive and make it. They keep track of their wins, they delight and they are grateful for the opportunities they discover.

They don’t wait for circumstances to change they change the circumstances. They make use of everything. Millionaires are made in economic downturns, when the economy is flat and when it is on the rise. Mindset makes it happen. But, know this important rule.

It isn’t just mindset. It isn’t thoughts alone. That is why those sitting in their easy chairs chanting for money aren’t getting any. It is thought plus the right actions. Thought AND action. If you do nothing you get nothing. Still, the thinking is the most important.

You Don’t Get What You Wish For – You Get What You Work For

Right thinking is 99% responsible for success. 1% correct, applied action, brings it about. You aren’t working harder you are working smarter. Be smart. Get determined. If you aren’t already you can cultivate it. That is what affirmations and visualization are useful for.

Cultivate and develop the champion winner’s attitude, the steeled will power, determination and enthusiasm, the certainty you will succeed by learning to control your thinking process and your feelings. You can do this! That is why I created this blog! Learn it.

Do it! Learn from the great ancient masters and thought leaders. Apply the principles and practices. Fashion yourself into an unstoppable, unlimited, invincible, deliberate creator. That is putting the law of attraction to proper use! That will help you get your goals.

The More You Use Your Willpower Muscle The More It Grows

Do this and transform your life. Only you can. If you delay it you will succeed in delaying it. Start succeeding when and where you want to. Be the person you want to become. Start now. Become convinced you can and you will be. Use your mind for the change you want. Get it? USE your mind FOR A CHANGE! AND celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

It Is A Good Bet You Don’t Schedule This But You Should!

Horizons monarch-phil-koch

“You schedule doctor appointments, phone calls and meetings. You note down when you need to take the kids to their events. You schedule your mechanic appointments and oil changes for your car. The important things you probably put on your calendar.

How often do you schedule time to play?  Have you ever? I don’t mean your racquet ball, golf or tennis games. I mean time in which you playfully adventure, explore and discover. Free time to do nothing but let go, have fun and enjoy yourself. Smile more!

Play – Have Fun In Life – Really Enjoy It – You Are Never Too Old

This is time to skip and dance, smile and have fun. Take an hour or two just to feel good and delight. Spend time to  feel some fun feelings, some good time emotions. Laugh, let go, be a little kid. Pretend. This IS important time and perhaps you are lacking in it.

You schedule important things right? Isn’t it important to feel good, have fun and be happy? Isn’t it good to relax, destress and enjoy more of your life? Shouldn’t you create more room to play and enjoy life without having to have any reasons for play? Let go, laugh!

The Supreme Accomplishment Blur Line Between Work And Play

Your not playing to win a match you are playing to play. Be as a little kid again. Be innocent. Use your imagination. Draw, color, make pictures or mud castles. Can you imagine yourself doing this? If not then you really must! Take time to let go and discover new things.

When you can play as a little child does you can learn new things, build new skills. You destress, chill, relax and regain your energy. You actually use your time productively doing ‘nothing’ purposeful. You aren’t trying to win. You are enjoying the present moment.

The Time To Relax And Play Is When You Don’t Have Time For It

There are many benefits for your mind, body, and spirit. When you play and lighten up your mood becomes more positive and lighter. You relax. You feel better and can think clearer. You take a vacation from seriousness and that is a great opportunity. Plus, more!

Be present. Be playful. Be innocent. Be delighted. Be curious. Become fascinated. Get captivated. Fill yourself with awe and delight. Chase a butterfly and enjoy the romp. You can do this. Get out of your head. Give yourself permission and go have some fun. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Make each moment marvelous!

Expert Reveals: It’s Easy To Solve Problems And Achieve Goals When Done This Way

Horizons 2-summer-storms-phil-koch

“Are there goals you want to reach but you haven’t been able to? Do you struggle to accomplish things? Perhaps, you are overwhelmed or bit off more than you can chew. Do you face seemingly unsolvable and insurmountable problems?

You still want to make it happen, right? You’d like to resolve your difficulties and reach your goals. You’d like to be successful and happy. This approach is very helpful in getting people over these types of issues. All you have to do is implement it. It works! Do it!

How do you climb Mount Everest? How do you get from one end of a hiking trail to the other? One step at a time. How do you eat an elephant? Bite by bite.  Drop by drop the tub gets filled. Better a little bit than no bit. Do things in smaller increments.

It Always Seems Impossible Until It is Done – If You Want It – Do It

Chunk the task into tinier manageable pieces or bits. Break it down into smaller components, each of which, by itself, is easy to perform or accomplish. Too often, people stop themselves because it feels to big and they don’t know what to do or want to do it.

Small bite size pieces. We cut food into tiny bites for children because it is easier. Do the same for yourself if you have trouble doing anything. You want to clean the house but it is too much. Clean an area of your desk, a drawer, some small part to begin the process.

Often, what you discover, is a sense of satisfaction at this s first accomplishment that you will do a little bit more. Bit by bit you end up getting it done. It is easier to do 5 or 20 minutes a day than an hour or more. Make the tasks manageable and easy. Then you win!

The Secret To Getting Things Done Is To Act – Take Action

When hiking or climbing a mountain experts suggest tell you to look at your feet, or four or five feet ahead on the ground.  Keep your head down and watch your steps. The same recommendation is made for cyclists. Keep your focus on the ground.

Looking off at the peak, a large distance away, can be discouraging and may make the ascent tougher. When you focus on the area just where you are or immediately in front of you, you stop comparing how far you need to go. Just look at what needs to be done now.

If you think the distance is great it’s easy to talk yourself out of it. Don’t defeat yourself. You can walk or bike four or five feet easily. You don’t notice the distance or the height this way. Your focus is on what you can easily do. It may still be arduous but less so.

Where You Focus Your Attention Is Where You Get Results

If your focus is only on each step you need to take you will still make progress at a steady rate. The goal doesn’t change but what you focus on does. Instead of concentrating on the end and length of the journey you concentrate on the smaller components.

How you enjoy the journey often determines how much you enjoy arriving at your destination. Gather up smaller wins along the way to the large one and you will feel better about yourself and about completing tasks. Apply this concept to making things happen in life.

Focus on what can be done in the immediate present. Focus on the tiny steps that you can take right now. You can overcome any problem and any difficulty, any challenge, no matter how big or seemingly insurmountable by chunking it down.

Keep Your Focus Entirely On What You Are Able To Do – Then Do It

Work at it bit by bit. You will get it done. If your kitchen drain is stopped and your faucet drips drops every few seconds, ultimately it could fill and overflow.  Each drop contributes to the overall.  Tiny efforts contribute to the overall effect of accomplishing your goal.

While it may take longer you still can overcome problems and achieve your goals.  The trade off is smaller and longer for not at all. Keep in mind you are making steady progress and winning along the way or you live complaining and worrying about it not getting done.

Take action and keep at it bit b bit, day by day, step-by-step until you reach your dream or solve your problem. Keep at it and get it done. If you quit or give up it won’t happen. Persist with the small, tiny, daily actions. You can accomplish great things. You truly can!

Do Less With More Focus – Action Expresses Your Priorities 

The trickle of a stream eventually becomes a river given the right amount of time. You are an amazingly powerful person. You have incredible resources within you. You can do this if you want to badly enough. Do just enough to keep yourself going forward.

Not too much. Do just enough to maintain the interest and the desire. Easy enough to do but not boring. Make it as interesting as possible. You can create a new habit of of being more productive. As you create the success habit of ‘getting it done’ you feel better.

You may feel relieved about crossing it off your list or resolving an issue. You might feel more inspired and motivated to get others things done once finished with the immediate concern. You feel better about yourself! Your confidence and self esteem increases.

If You Desire It Enough – You Will Take Positive Steps To Have It

Your self image can change from one who doesn’t do to one who can do anything. A little goes a long way! You can make enormous progress taking positive small actions each day. As you complete your tasks, reward yourself. Feel good. Pat yourself on the back. Delight in it. Keep a success journal and write it down. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have an wonderful day!

The Secret To Becoming Free Of Problem People And Circumstances!

horizons the-end-phil-koch

“We are faced with difficulties, circumstances and challenging people. Tough times come our way. What are we to do? How can we get through the most trying of times? There is a way. If you are open to it and apply it you can experience wonderful freedom.

Continued from: How To Master Any Problem Person Or Circumstance and Become Free – See Previous Post

Mindset, your attitude, is the most important tool, weapon, piece of the puzzle or secret ingredient. How we approach the world, how we perceive and frame what happens is crucial in how easily and readily we are able to move through those times.

Enlightened warriors use whatever is happening for positive development. They understand that challenges and obstacles are important for our inner and outer progress. They have realized that ‘the kite rises against the wind’ and that difficulties are necessary.

If You Can’t Change It – Change The Way You Think About It

This is the way of the enlightened peaceful warrior. They embrace and accept everything as important for their personal evolution. They know that what you resist persists. They understand the necessity of getting into flow. Acceptance IS what is needed.

Good people in our life are great to have BUT they are not that important in terms of our growth. They are support, they are community, they are part of our mastermind. The are important because of who they are and their connection to us.

The people who help us to grow the most are the ones we want to be around least. They are the asses, the rude, the strangers, neighbors, co-workers who rub us the wrong way. They are all the people we want to avoid. Why are these people important to us?

What You Deny Or Ignore You Delay – What You Resist Persists

Because they provoke us into thoughts and feelings we don’t want to experience. As long as they can bait us by who they are and what they do we will get hooked and reeled in the wrong direction. If we can learn from them and not get hooked we become free.

Pretend the issues is in you NOT in them. They are the catalyst. They are the provocateur. Without them we would not think and feel these things. These people come our way SO THAT we CAN get free. We need to realize they ARE a blessing not a curse. A blessing!

If we can love, forgive, embrace and understand them we can be free of them and get free of the issues inside us. They are the spotlight showing us the way out. They illuminate the areas we need growth. It is not just the people in our life but all problems and obstacles.

What You Face And Accept You Conquer – Let Go And Accept It

Less than glorious circumstances and personal problems are all blessings. If we are wise enough, intelligent enough, open enough, we can realize this and use them for greater freedom and a more wonderful life. Stop burning because of them and welcome  them.

Accept, allow, and understand. This may be true in real life or it may just be a mindset you adopt. Who cares? If you act as if, if you pretend, you can master it. Let go of problem people and circumstances as problems and welcome them as opportunities.

Change you mindset and attitude and beliefs about them and your life will change. Learn from each moment instead of resisting, accusing, excusing, whining, complaining and blaming. Love instead of hate, accept instead of being intolerant, be peaceful and enjoy.

Attitude Determines Your Altitude – Attitude Is Everything

Celebrate the tough times and they are no longer so tough! Take the sting out of the issue. Reduce the length of time it takes to go through difficult times. Perception is everything. Did you ever notice if you hate something, or are bored, or hurting, you endure it longer?

Fun times go by faster don’t they? Actually by clock time nothing changes, but by mental and emotional time everything may. Lessen the suffering by accepting the enemy. Make peace. You may or may not do it on the outside but do it on the inner. Be a peaceful warrior.

From within, change starts. Inside your mind and heart and being make the changes, if you can’t bring yourself to in the outer world. Perhaps, in time, it won’t matter to you either way. Make peace with the enemy. Celebrate all circumstances. Dance with the demons.

Bitter Trials Are Blessings In Disguise – Count Your Blessings

What you resist persists. Energy flows where attention goes. If you put energy into feeling bad about people you encounter or are surrounded by, or less than glorious circumstances, you get back more of the same. Birds of a feather flock together. You attract it.

When you let go, when you celebrate, when you are grateful and appreciate everything you go beyond the problems and issues. You enter an entirely new realm of being. You surpass the ordinary and live within the divine. If you consider it ALL divine you are free!

To change your life you must change what you think, feel and do on a daily basis. If you keep doing the same thing nothing changes. You keep the same issues and problems alive. Stop and make the changes you want to. Live the life you desire. Focus on the positive!

Talk About Your Blessings Not Your Burdens – Blessings Abound

Seek the silver lining. Find the good in all things and all people. Take the higher road. Take the road less traveled. Find ways to re-frame problem people and circumstances as blessings and opportunities. Welcome lessons! Learn, grow, find delight and enjoy!

It is a process. You will grow more and more capable. As you do whatever presents itself as challenging becomes less of a problem and more of an opportunity. Things change. The more you do the more you can do. You develop the skills. Acceptance becomes easier.

Many people make millions in the worst economic climates. Down times CAN be UP times! ‘One man’s meat is another man’s poison’. ‘One person’s floor is another person’s ceiling’. It is whatever we perceive it to be. Get it? Mindset is critical! It’s all about attitude!

What You See And What You Say Is What You Get – Be Positive

Perception is everything. What we believe runs the show. It is all a point of view. It is your point of view. As such it can change, but only you can change it. When you do new worlds open up to you.  You will see and live things differently and gloriously. You will become free.

Problems are there for our own good! Don’t avoid. Accept and allow. Become and enlightened, peaceful warrior. Make awareness and understanding your way. Find the good in all and people and circumstances stop being problems. Recognize how truly blessed you are and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Delight and enjoy!

How To Master Any Problem Person Or Circumstance And Become Free Of It!

horizons cumulus-nimbus-phil-koch

“You can pretend anything and master it. Master some basic skills and your life can change for the better. ‘Act as if’ you are already living as you want to live right now. This is the way of the enlightened, peaceful warrior.  Fake it till you make it, some say.

This is part one of a two part post. Be sure to read the next post too.

It isn’t actually faking it, it is pretending fully. That means we think the thoughts and feel the feelings and behave or take the actions as if we already are living as we want to. We pretend, as we did when we were children or as actors do when creating a character.

We live it as fully as possible in our mind and our body. We don’t have to tell anyone else, it isn’t for public consumption, it is the inner reality we create to inspire and motivate and guide us. We align our thoughts and feelings and get congruent with what we want to be.

Live Like You Already Have It – Act As If – Believe – It Is Yours

We live it inside before it becomes reality outside. It is a powerful, positive method of making our dreams and goals come true. It has been said that in order to behave in a new reality we must first be able to conceive of that reality. Add to that what Napoleon Hill said.

He said, ‘If you can conceive it and come to believe it you can achieve it’. The ability to act as if is rehearsal. It is mental, physical and behavioral rehearsal. It signals your brain, your subconscious, that this is what I want more of. I am this, produce more of it.

That is why it is said, regarding the law of attraction, that ‘we don’t attract what we want we attract what we are.’ When we ‘act as if’ we become now what we want to be in the future. We are it, in advance of the actual reality. We CAN pretend anything AND master it.

It Is Already Coming To You – It Is A Done Deal – It Is Yours

Believe ‘this’ is true. Ultimately, it may or may not be BUT if you act as if it is, it can bring you great freedom and transformation. It really will. Why? Because your mindset IS everything! Your attitude determines your altitude. What you believe is what you see and get.

Your thoughts lead! Thought precedes everything. Thoughts precede feelings and actions. It works this way; we have a thought and we feel something. That feeling determines our next thought. It is cyclic. Depending on the first thought we may feel good or bad.

If we feel good we may take action and get some positive results. Even if the results aren’t that great, if we feel positive we at least feel motivated to take action. Whereas, if we feel bad or negative we may not feel motivated or we take the wrong actions.

Act As If It Is Impossible To Fail – Impossible Means I’m Possible

The results you get stem from the thoughts you think. Thinking precedes action. Thoughts become things. What you focus on expands. What you think about you become. You want good results start with good thoughts, then feelings, then actions and habits.

Practice this and your life will radically change for the better. If you want to be more happy, have more love, more peace, more money, or feel more rich, whatever it is you desire, you will attract back more of what you already are. So if you are positive you’ll become more so.

If you are happy you will become happier. If you are sad you will become sadder. If you feel wealthy you will get wealthier but if you are worried you will become more so. This is what the law of attraction states. Like attracts like. What we focus on expands.

Act As If Success Is Inevitable – Act As If You Already Achieved It

To enjoy the best life feel your best. How do you do that? Sing, dance, laugh, skip, do yoga, meditate, relax, take a warm bath, smile, get a massage, hang with ‘groovy positive’ people. Watch, read, or listen to inspirational and motivational material. Take a positive seminar.

Practice gratitude. Keep a journal. What you are thankful for? What people, places, activities, events and things do you appreciate?Create a success journal and record all your daily wins. Tiny or large. You want to do the dishes and you do them; HOORAY YOU WIN!

The better you feel the better you will feel. The more successful you feel the more successful you become. Manage your thoughts, your emotions and your spirit. Feel grateful and life becomes wonderful! Enjoy the big and the small delights. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Enjoy your day!
