What Do You Desire for Today?

What will I find that I desire for today? Though today may have many similarities to yesterday, it will still be different. That’s because every single day of our lives is unique.  I know that that doesn’t always feel true, but it absolutely is. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure are different.  We likely are wearing different clothing.  What we eat will vary.  Yes, these are all really small, seemingly insignificant things, but the devil is in the details.  All

Do You Deserve What You Desire?

Do you do things that you desire to do? It is all too easy to do things for other people, and to do things that are “expected” of us, and ignore what we desire for ourselves. Some of these desires are little things, like sitting down to read a book; eating ice cream; watching a video; taking a walk; playing a game; and so on. Then there are the desires to do big things, like take a vacation; start a

Can Gratitude Change the World?

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

Why Create Reality?

I love to create. I began to write fiction when I was nine.  Even with some breaks here and there along the way, I have continued to create characters, worlds, and stories to tell about them. Then, about six years ago, I began to post to this blog weekly.  Pathwalking on Wednesdays was the starting point.  Two years later, I added Positivity every Monday.  Just over a year ago, these posts called Crossing the Bridges came into being. All three

Pathwalking is not just an intellectual concept, it is also a spiritual and an emotional endeavor. I have stated rather frequently that to walk any given path you have to not only think about it, but you have to feel it, and you have to desire it. What’s the difference between the intellectual, spiritual and emotional? The intellectual is the easiest to examine. This is your thought process, this is your continued education. Intellect is a matter of learning, it

Even though Pathwalking is for yourself, sometimes you will encounter guides along your way. Yes, I recognize that this is an inherent paradox. I often have talked about how Pathwalking is a solo process. And yet now I am putting it out there that from time to time you will encounter guides. What about being wary of outside influences? Not every outside influence is a bad thing. The issue with outside influences comes when you allow them to dominate your

Pathwalking 143

Why are you on this path? The path you are on, right now, as you read this, why are you on it? Did you choose this path for yourself? Did someone else choose it for you? Did you stumble upon this path, or was there effort and conscious direction when you decided to travel upon it? I have probably asked all of these questions before. If they are being repeated, that is because they are so deeply important. If you

During the course of Pathwalking, I have frequently spoken about creating your own life. In walking your own path, one of the ideas is to control your destiny, and manifest the life you most want. There are obstacles, distractions, problems, complications, bumps and twists and turns along any given path. The journey, I have often stressed, is of equal if not greater import than the goal. Living in the here and now is vitally important to the end goal of

Pathwalking 141

It never ceases to amaze me how readily I can lose my focus. For a while I can be a champion. I can successfully manifest what I want, no question, no difficulty, I can do it. I can see all the possibility, all the probability, all the reality of what I am capable of. I am amazed, excited, enthusiastic, and ready to tackle the world and everything that could possibly get in my way. And then it is gone. I

Positivity is vitally important to Pathwalking. Last week I began to explore this, and discussed at length when you know you are feeling predominantly negative what you need to do. After you identify the what and how and why, and determine which aspects of these you have any control over, you proceed to find a way to change the emotion you are feeling. As I stated before, the means that works for dealing with this today may not work at
