All the little, small positives you encounter are huge. Positivity comes in all shapes and sizes. Often, we look at these “big picture” notions and ideas of the world.

This tends to be the name you put to the feeling you have. This can be challenging because there are lots of nuances in
Just because my way is mine doesn’t mean we can’t find some common ground (within reason). We are closing in on having 8 billion people on this planet. Let me write that out – that’s 8,000,000,000 people. Let’s say you know, personally, 100 people total. Maybe not well, but for the sake of argument, it’s a good round number. That means that you know 0.00000000125 of the total number of people on this planet. That’s a SUPER small number of
Taking responsibility and being accountable for your thoughts, feelings, and actions matters in all you do. Modern society hates to be accountable. But damn, do they love to blame. President Babygate blames everyone for all of his shortcomings and inadequacies. Nothing is ever his responsibility, his doing, his fault – unless it makes him look good to his base. From the top down it’s all about the “other” and placing blame while never being accountable or responsible. It’s easy for

While it is important to be responsible and accountable for your thoughts, feelings and actions, there is a massively important aspect of this notion we cannot ignore. When you have accepted responsibility and accountability, you need to forgive yourself. Forgiveness can be difficult in many ways. When somebody does something awful to you, directly or indirectly, it may not be so easy to forgive them. But in

You are aware of what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and actions you are taking from there. When we are mindful of ourselves, we need to be accountable. Why? Because the only way to improve our lot in life is to be accountable for being
When we are mindful of our thoughts, feelings and actions, we can walk any path. The key to doing this is to work on spending more time in the here-and-now. When we are mindful of where we are, at this very moment, we empower ourselves to best walk the paths for the lives we desire. Mindfulness is awareness. When we are aware, we have control. Pathwalking is about taking control of the life we lead, so being mindful is imperative
If I don’t bother to decide, I leave my fate up to my subconscious. Sure, I could blame outside influences or circumstances or what-have-you. But the truth is that when I don’t make conscious decisions, my subconscious is driving the bus. This can be a particularly complicated concept to grasp. Probably the biggest reason why is because we live in a society that lacks accountability. Our government is the perfect example of this fact. At almost every level, nobody takes

Pathwalking is making choices about living life, in order to work to consciously create our personal reality as we want it to be. Rather than simply going along with life and letting whatever happens, happen; as we walk our chosen paths we strive to be present and
