The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Nobody is truly alone in this life. There needs to be balance for yourself and for those you love. The paths I have chosen to take for my life are mine alone. They have similarities to the paths others take – but they are still unique to me. However – I am not a single solitary figure. I have a wife, friends, and family I love deeply, and various people and responsibilities I have taken on. So, while living my
To not get together with family this year increases the odds of doing so next year. This is an ugly truth. But, as a result of people choosing to get together at Thanksgiving, the numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths have been ramping up. This week ends with Christmas, which for many people represents the biggest of family gatherings. However, the pandemic is NOT over. Yes, there is a vaccine – but it’s important to recognize a vaccine is NOT

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

It is so easy to take gratitude for granted. But there are so many things we all have which we can be thankful for, and this is an incredible creator of amazing things. The spirit of Thanksgiving is expressing gratitude for our family, friends, and loved ones. I would suggest it holds

For more than four-and-a-half years, I have written about Positivity here, every week, without fail. Over the past week a number of happenings have left me feeling mostly angry, sad, and not positive. A madman shot up a synagogue, and the unsympathetic President blamed the victims. Another madman sent out bombs to prominent opponents
Loss is a part of Pathwalking. Because life is ever changing, and because we are not static creatures, we will experience losses along our paths. Some are good for us, some less so. The hardest loss to take is that of a friend or loved one. When we lose people, grief is different for every one of us. In a society where we often look at the “norms”, how we grieve is one of those things that no two people
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,
You need nobody’s permission to walk your own path in life. But you will receive an awful lot of advice, and help both useful and not from people. When you decide to walk your own path, if, like mine, it is in any way unconventional, people will question it. When enough people question what you have chosen, inevitably YOU will begin to question it, too. We all have people in our lives who feel they have carte blanche in regards
Do I have enough intention and desire to go where I truly want to go? That’s the question I am trying to answer currently. As I am walking my chosen path, I have to examine if I have sufficient conviction. Why is that important? Because if I do not put enough thought, feeling and intentional action into this, I will remain stationary. I have to give this more than just lip-service in order to achieve my goals. It is my
As you walk your chosen paths, you will meet well-intentioned resistance. Well-intentioned resistance is when people give you news and information that is “for your own good” or to “tell it like it is” or to otherwise offer advice, in order to keep you from making “poor” choices. This comes from those closest to you, and can be very disconcerting. Society has certain norms and expectations of us. We are supposed to go through the motions. You work five days
