The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Today we do the same thing we do every day – make choices for our life experiences. Welcome to Monday. For many people, Monday is the true start of their week – back to work, back to school, back to rote, and routine. Lots of people come down from the weekend – and time off away from the 5-day repetitive cycle – and start the new week with trepidation, discord, and not the most positive or helpful approach. Because of
If not now, when will you decide it’s time to experience life for all it has to offer? We all get one shot at this specific life experience. Whether active or passive, we experience life every single day. That’s comprised of, Everything that you think, do, intend, and feel. All that happens to you – inside or outside your control – is part of your life experience. The people, places, and things you interact with are elements of your life
This is a valid question that can be applied to many things. So why do what you do? I don’t know about you, but the past nearly six months have been insane for me. I kept on working through the pandemic from home but lost fencing practice in the wisdom to close things down. Friends have been furloughed, lost jobs, or are facing sending kids back to school – or returning there themselves to teach – despite the ongoing battle

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,

But when they are misused, they can be detrimental to anything you might be attempting to create. What are willing and willful, and how do they differ? Dictionary.com gives us this: Willing (adjective) disposed or consenting; inclined cheerfully consenting or ready done, given, borne, used, etc., with cheerful readiness Willful (adjective) deliberate, voluntary, or intentional unreasonably stubborn or headstrong; self-willed Willingness is the presentation of inclination and consent;

Whether you buy into this notion or not, that doesn’t make it any less true. Yes, I recognize that this may come across as hooky-spooky craziness, but let me present you a different perspective. Do you like our present reality? I know that it’s entirely possible that you do, and if that is so, rock
Letting go is frequently challenging. But doing so opens you up to tremendous amounts of positivity. This can present a huge number of issues, however. Sometimes letting go is challenging because deep emotions can be connected to the thing you need to release. No matter how logical you might style yourself as being, nor no matter how hard you try to not hold onto emotions, this can be complicated. Yes, I have written many times that we are all able
They say that familiarity breeds contempt. Whether you apply this to a person, a place, or a thing, it tends to ring true. This is where the comfort zone exists. It is familiarity, it is the known, and it provides us with a sense of ease and contentment. If we get too comfortable, change becomes that much harder. Change is, of course, inevitable. Familiarity is not necessarily a bad thing. But too much time with the familiar leaves us feeling
There are, in my opinion, three ways in which we can choose to live life. There are, as such, three realities people place their lives into. I have written about this before in previous posts, but I think it bears exploring further. Yes, I acknowledge off the bat that these are generalities. But let’s also face another fact: everyone is unique. We all think, feel and act differently from one another. The processes that go into this vary, and though
Pathwalking is not just my personal life philosophy. It is my way of taking all of the ideas I have been studying for many years now, and putting it into practice. A great deal of the process is dependent on thought and feeling. I have to take the thought, give it necessary feeling, and then perform an intentional action to get where I want to go. Six years ago, in my seventh ever post in Pathwalking, I explained the what
