The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
The world is full of potential and possibility. But what have you got to offer to it? For years, I asked myself – what is my purpose in life? I know I am not the only one who has asked this question. For a long, long time – the answer was unclear. However, I am pretty sure that this is because I was trying to figure out how to fit inside a box that I was not ever going to

This can be particularly challenging, because a great deal of the way in which we perceive our universe attributes much to selfishness. And while there are certainly some tremendously selfish people out there, much of what people see as selfish is not. I want to begin with a broad definition of what selfishness is NOT. Selfishness is not taking
It is difficult to feel gratitude in the face of overwhelming unfairness, cruelty and disdain. Expressing gratitude, however, is a fundamental building block for creating change. I find the news extremely disheartening. The United States is being led by a petulant, narcissistic man-child and his unscrupulous associates. Long-standing institutions that made the nation a world-leader are being dismantled or massively corrupted. Allies are being alienated. Congress cannot be bothered to do their job and fix this in the name of
Communication is key. It is super easy to take this for granted. Sure, people talk, they attempt to converse with one another…but all too often, they don’t truly communicate with each other. What’s the difference? Communication is a two-way street. Everyone involved both talks and listens. There is a certain amount of give-and-take, which will take different forms depending on the people involved. Many of the problems in the world today could be resolved if there was actual, factual communication.
Celebrate the people in your life every day. There are any number of holidays upon which we remember specific people. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day celebrate individuals or groups. But we should do all we can to celebrate people every day. While I often discuss here the idea of self-care and doing things for ourselves, it cannot be to the detriment of people who are in our lives. Even the most introverted amongst us
Self-care is empowering. When we do things to care for our own health and wellbeing, we provide ourselves with the ability to give more to others. Self-care is not selfish. When we take care of our own needs; comfort; intellectual, emotional and physical stimulation, we actually are empowering ourselves to give more to others. Our smartphones can do incredible things. They can find directions, connect us to friends and family, get us information across the globe, provide hours of entertainment,
I want to give back to the world. One of my greatest desires is to give something of value to the world. Whether it’s entertainment in the fiction that I write, insight from this blog, lessons in medieval rapier combat, or a pun to make someone crack a smile, I want to be a giver. One of the risks of this, though, is focusing more on giving than receiving anything in return. When in the course of day-to-day life one
Givers get as much as they give. A lot of people do not recognize this for how powerful it is. But the power of giving, when it comes from a place of abundance, actually creates more to be given. Pathwalking is about finding the path for ourselves. Taking control over our own individual destiny, making use of conscious reality creation to manifest the life we desire to live. One of the key reasons behind Pathwalking, at least for me, is
Giving is an amazing force for Positivity. Some people go through this life and make accommodations for others, take time to help people in a myriad of ways, and do things for people without a second thought. They are people who give time, energy and more, so that others may benefit. They don’t even consider what they do to be giving. Giving is a powerful tool. We have an amazing capacity to give on an incredible number of levels. We
How do I know if I am on the right path? This is probably the most basic, yet most challenging question to ask. The answer is both amazingly simple, and yet fairly complicated. 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
