Acceptance Is a Matter of Positivity – And It Starts with Ourselves

Acceptance of ourselves begins all else. For a long time, I was less than fond of myself. All I seemed to be capable of was finding the fault in myself. I was always looking at how I managed to fail at jobs, screw up relationships, and remain overweight. For about two decades, I lived indecisively, constantly finding the flaws in myself, and not accepting all of how I was uniquely me. Sometime in my late 30s, though, that began to

How Does Gratitude Help Extinguish the Fires of the World?

It’s too easy to see the world as being on fire. But gratitude can extinguish the flames. The last two years have been insane. Not for me, per se – but on the scale of the Big Picture of the world. Between Trump, COVID-19, ugly social injustices, discrimination, surreal entitlement, blatant lies from many of our so-called leaders and “news” networks, and the seemingly never-ending stream of awfulness – it sure as hell looks like the world is on fire.

The Philosophy of Pathwalking

I would like to explore with you the details of my personal life philosophy – Pathwalking. When I first began to write about this idea, it was just meant to be a weekly post to my blog. I needed a topic, so I decided to begin to write about how I seek to make my own way in life. The name Pathwalking came about for two reasons. First, because of the idea that life is an ongoing journey, so you

Are You Who You Desire to Be?

This is a simple question, certainly, but the answer is likely complicated. As children, we all have dreams and aspirations. You wanted to be an astronaut, or a firefighter, or a doctor, or an explorer seeking new lands and opportunities. The things you wanted to do as a child may have been realistic, or very out

What Is Impossible?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Nothing is impossible.  Unless, of course, you believe that it is. Look at the world we live in today.  The technologies available to us, the things we have built and continue to build.  Things considered impossible just a hundred years ago are commonplace today. This does not just apply to the material.  Much of the immaterial we believe to be impossible, is not.  It is just a

Can Creativity Improve the World?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Creativity is an amazing power we each possess. Our unique ability to make our world; to build; invent; evolve; to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible.  While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has shown the skills and creativity we have to imagine and create wonders. We take so many aspects of

How Do Want and Desire Differ?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   There is a surprisingly substantial difference between want and desire. Want is based in lack.  One of its definitions, from dictionary.com is to be without, or deficient in.  Want comes from a place of lack and scarcity.  It is a statement that implies that there is not enough, that you have gone without because that which you want there is not enough of. Further, that implies that

How are we Luminous Beings?

“Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter.” – Yoda. Sure, this quote comes from a small green Muppet in an epic sci-fi story…but that does not lessen the truth of the statement.  At our core we are beings of pure energy.  The meat popsicles we see running around the planet are not who we are when all is said and done. Why does this matter?  Because we are beings of pure energy, rather than these bodies we present

How does Thank You Empower Positivity?

Thank you for your support. While I do this in part for myself, it is knowing that you are out there, reading these words, that helps keep me going.  I am so deeply grateful for you, that I need to take a moment to simply say, Thank You. Gratitude is the ultimate tool in the world of conscious reality creation.  Expressing gratitude for what we already possess, not just saying the words but FEELING grateful, will draw more of the

Will You Be Silent?

Do not be silent when you need to shout. See atrocities happening?  Feel angry, distressed, disturbed, incensed?  Make your voice be heard, and tell them this will not stand. We are being bombarded by almost surreal amounts of negativity.  There are some pretty terrible things happening out there, and they cannot be ignored.  No matter how much we try to stay away from all this bad news, it is impossible not to recognize the awful things that are happening. Hard
