The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Once in a very great while, your path will need to be set aside for that of another. I know that I am constantly writing about how, to consciously create reality, we have to choose for ourselves. This is always true. But every now and then our own path is not as important as the path of another. How does that work? We all have people in our lives who are important to us. They are loved ones, close friends,
Self-doubt and indecision will complicate Pathwalking. I strive to be less doubtful about who I am, and to do better with making decisions about my life. Pathwalking is about choosing for myself, rather than letting random chance just happen. Yet I still question if I am deserving of this. I doubt myself, my abilities to do the things I want to do. This in turn can make me indecisive, and I get stuck in uncertainty. Self-doubt comes from many places.
I am the only one who can break the pattern. But I don’t have all the answers. More often than not what I have is more questions. I believe that this is one of the things, though, that makes life worth living. New questions, new things to learn, answers to be found for questions asked. I have been asking myself a lot of questions lately. That’s what I do when I find myself on unfamiliar ground. Here I am, between
Our souls are forever, but our bodies are finite. We only get one shot at life. I read and listen to a lot of self-help books. I have read and/or listened to works by Tony Robbins, Jen Sincero, Rhonda Byrne, Stephen Covey, Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Boni Lonnsburry and more. The topics range from ideas for how to live life to the fullest, manifestation, controlling our emotions, choosing our own destinies, making money through ways we love, and so on.
When the other shoe drops, do you pick it up? I have been anticipating this situation for several months now. I had hoped to depart on my own terms, but I suspected this was coming. So it was not much of a surprise. The job I have held for the past year, and been duly grateful for, has come to an end. Now my eight hours a day in a place where I was all-too-often bored, and frequently unhappy, is
Ultimately, everybody wants to be happy. I believe that’s what we all most want. Happiness. When we are happy, we are more capable of living a complete, satisfying life. Positivity is a direct path to happiness. Happiness is one of the ultimate in positive feelings, which is why it’s so important that we find and cultivate it as much as we can. There is more than enough anger, intolerance, unhappiness and outright hatred in the world. Adding to that only
Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness. There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck? I am pretty sure the answer is NO. I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants
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
Everyone prefers to feel good over feeling bad. Finding positivity is about finding ways to feel good. We live in a society that feeds on a steady diet of negativity. Fear is a tool employed by many differently “leaders” to keep people in line, and sensationalism sells and gets more clicks on social media. This can make it far easier to live in fear and negativity than to find positivity. Also, it’s Monday…so most of us are going to work
Pathwalking can be fraught with many challenges. I long ago came to believe that nothing worth having is ever easy. But there is a difference between challenge and struggle. Challenge involves growth and proactive change, while struggle is stagnation and reactive change. Challenge is deciding to change, while struggle is forced. Many of the challenges in Pathwalking are due to outside influences, some which we can control and some which we cannot. Recognizing this is the first step towards working
