Be Yourself – Because You Can’t be Anyone Else – And That’s Good

Just remember – being yourself is not a license to be a dick. Who are you? This is a massively loaded question. Who you are can vary depending on the time of day, the company you’re keeping, your mood, and numerous other factors. The short answer is that you are you. No matter what happens, the only one in your head, heart, and soul is you. Yet being yourself can be challenging because of the need to be accepted. You

Why is The Unknown Path So Damned Scary?

Because it’s unknown – and thus, uncertain. On the one hand, I’ve never been one for plans, lists, and the like. It’s always felt genuine and true to myself to be more improvisational in my approach to life. On the other hand, I’m a Virgo. Sometimes I get utterly ordered and freakishly clean, arrange, and set stuff up. When it comes to choosing and walking a given path in my life, this can be challenging. Loose and ready for anything

Is This a Good Idea? It Might Be for Me, But Not for You

Not every good idea is good for everyone. I have lots of ideas. You likely have lots of ideas. Some are ginormous, veritably insurmountable, and lofty as all get-out. Others are more approachable, have paths you can take that people have taken before, and/or roadmaps can be found and employed Most ideas are just ideas. Neither good nor bad. They simply are. And you have them all the time. I’ve been known to spew ideas just because they are fun

Why Should You Write Down Your Ideas and Interesting Thoughts ASAP?

When you write down your ideas, they become harder to lose or misplace. This is not the article I was originally writing. Nope, that article was on a completely different topic. I was about halfway done writing it. Then, my computer crashed. The usual recovery file that tends to pop up when I restart MS Word didn’t. After spending probably more time than I should have searching for this – it all proved to be for naught. The worst part?

Move Past Yesterday

Whether it was good or bad, yesterday has come and gone. When I write about yesterday, I’m not necessarily referring to the day before today. Yesterday, in this context, is mostly referring to the past. Many people get stuck in their lives because of the past. Things great and small, personal and impersonal hold them back. Some yearn for a return to yesterday – while others would like nothing better than to recreate the past the same in the future.

You Will Have New Ideas All the Time

You will have new ideas all the time. The question is – what will you do with them? In the eight years since I began to practice mindfulness and conscious reality creation, the practice has been altered. While the premise is largely the same as it’s always been – that you can choose for yourself the life you most desire to live – the how of it has been changed. This is because, in the 8 years that have passed,

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

What Control Do You Have?

There are any number of examples of this you can look to. Control over immigration; shifting control of industries away from federal regulations; controlling the media to be more favorable to one opinion or the other. Everywhere you look, there are attempts at assuming, creating, destroying, or otherwise shifting

Working With the “Well-Meaning”

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   What do you do when the “well-meaning” friend or loved one offers “helpful” advice and commentary? If you are working on creating a unique, non-standard life experience for yourself, it has all sorts of pitfalls, trials, challenges, and obstacles along the way. When this is your why, and you are striving to consciously create reality by choosing your own path in life, it can and will impact

Positivity is an Attitude

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Positivity is an attitude It goes way beyond thinking and feeling – this is a whole-self attitude. For many years, the power of positive thinking has been hoisted towards the top of the self-help flagpole. While it can be very helpful to think positively, it isn’t always sustainable, because negative things can and will happen, and should not be disregarded. But positivity is not just a matter
