Can Making Choices and Doing What’s Best for You Harm Others?

Doing what’s best for you might harm others – but that’s likely beyond your control. When I was younger, I crowned myself the King of Indecision. I lived perpetually at a crossroads between two points. So that I wouldn’t make the wrong decision, I frequently made no decision. No decision, no harm, right? Wrong. By not making choices and deciding for myself how my life should be – I was the plaything of the Universe. Life lived me – save

Choose When You Get to Choose

You get to decide to choose – or not – when faced with a choice. For the longest time, I was really good at deciding not to decide. I would stand with a choice before me – and overthink the crap out of it. I’d explore every possible “what if?” scenario, fear getting my choice wrong and having to suffer due to that – until the choice was no longer mine to make. Opportunities passed me by. Things happened outside

Am I Lying to Myself?

I don’t think so – but it’s possible I am lying to myself. The only person who can truly know me, in-depth, is me. This is because there is nobody but me here inside of my head, heart, and soul. No matter how much I connect with anyone else – in any way, shape, or form – I’m still the only one in here. The only person capable of getting at my motivations, recognizing my beliefs, values, and habits is

What Path Are You On?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Are you living life with direction? Everything in life is choices.  We are constantly looking at decisions we can make, and options when it comes to our choices.  Each of us can decide to be aware, or choose instead to make no choices at all. For a long time, I wandered rather aimlessly through my life.  I went where the wind blew, changed jobs and relationships frequently,

What Decisions Are You Making?

Decisions are an important element for moving life forward. As Pathwalking involves choosing direction for one’s life, an absolutely necessary element of any choice is decision making. Making decisions can be terrifying for people.  Why?  Because many of us tend to overthink.  We second guess, fear that if we choose wrong we, or someone we care about, might suffer.  Or we might possibly miss out on something better. Deciding can be intimidating because it feels final.  The finality of the

How Does Self-Doubt Impact You?

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. 

What do I want from my Reality?

What do I want? I have been asking this question of myself for most of my adult life.  It is both the single most basic question I can ask, as well as massively loaded.  This is a question that can be rooted in the past, awareness in the present, or looking to the future, which complicates things further. One of the more complex issues I encounter with this question has long been its opposite.  I was less sure of what
