Crossing the Bridges: Nothing to Fear

Fear is like an obscuring mist, covering each step in uncertainty. Doubt, uncertainty, dis-ease, discomfort, anxiety are all specific manifestations of fear.  Worst of all, they come from a most intangible and illusive fear. I have written quite a lot about fear.  Both for Pathwalking and Positivity and even amongst my topical rants, fear is a subject I come back to rather frequently.  Why?  Because fear is one of the most pervasive driving forces of our modern society. Those in

Crossing the Bridges: Taking Steps

Crossing the bridges is only possible when you start taking steps. I intend to become a best-selling author.  While I write several different things in different genres, one of the intents of this particular blog is determining better ways to traverse bridges between these writing styles.

Writing the story is one thing.  Editing it is another.  Formatting and publishing it is not the last step, by any stretch of the imagination.  At least, not when you

Crossing the Bridges: Best Laid Plans…

Do you beat yourself up when you fail to follow-through on something? Do you spend time berating yourself, getting upset over mistakes and failures to launch?  Do you start to feel bad, to spiral negatively when you had all the right intentions but then don’t complete your plan? Most people do.  I know I do.  I get annoyed with myself, and start to feel bad when I make a plan and then I don’t move on it. Last week I

Positivity: Failure

For some, failure is the thing they fear the most. For some, there is nothing more awful, more terrifying, more negative than failure. Failure is not a negative, unless you choose for it to be. Failure can be, in fact, quite the positive. Yes, this runs counter to much of the beliefs our society holds. We always hear about the success stories, we are always striving to be successful in our endeavors. As such, we hold up success as an
