How Are Actions More More Powerful than Resolutions?

Actions don’t just speak louder than words – they move and change everything. New Year’s Eve is almost upon us. Besides various forms of celebration people participate in around the world – lots of people make New Year’s Resolutions. They resolve to go to the gym more, quit smoking, eat fewer carbs, spend less time surfing social media, and other similar notions. But there is a major problem with resolution. It’s rather impotent. How do I mean? Let’s begin by

How Might We Use the New Year for New Positivity?

The new year is an excellent time to start fresh – if you so choose. It’s hard to believe that 2021 is coming to a close. Seriously – how are we less than a week from the start of 2022 already? The past 2 years have been utterly unusual for everyone. The global pandemic forever changed the world in ways we still haven’t fully realized. We have seen utter extremes between the best in some people and the worst in

New Years’ Action 2020

Action and actions are more powerful than resolutions. My very favorite line from the entirety of Star Wars comes from Yoda. “Do or do not, there is no try.” For a long time, I didn’t fully comprehend what he meant by that. However, after a lot of years of sitting with and studying this statement, I get it. A try leaves room for failure and incompletion. Doing leaves no such space. This is not about the physical act so much

One of the hardest questions for many people to answer is – what do you want? For some, the reason this is difficult is because of fear that if they answer wrong, they’ll be unhappy with the outcome.  For some, there are many things they want and that is causing them to waffle.  For some they sincerely do not know what they want.  However, in all probability, it’s some combination of all of the above. Decision making can be surprisingly

Sometimes keeping things in your head is exhausting. I am a thinker.  I am constantly thinking about things, great and small, major and minor, important and less so.  From food I want to eat to world situations to speculation about the next Star Wars movie to finances, I am constantly thinking. The problem with constantly thinking is that I am frequently finding darker thoughts clouding my emotions.  When you start to let negative emotions dominate, you wind up having a

Carl Jung stated, “What you resist persists.” This was talking about avoiding or denying aspects of the self, but it is still completely applicable to consciousness creating reality, and overly focusing on what you do not want. One of the important aspects of Pathwalking in Practice is awareness.  What am I aware of right now?  Beyond that, and possibly more importantly, what am I thinking about right now? Subconsciously, we may be chewing on something we read, we may be

This week I continue to work with Pathwalking in Practice. Last week I broke down the three means I believe everyone lives their life by:  letting life live you, curling up in a ball and waiting to die or living the life you want.  Pathwalking is a means to the end of living the life I want to live the most, and has evolved into a self-help philosophy I believe I can do more with, for myself and for others.

With the start of this new year, I want to begin working on a new aspect of Pathwalking. Tentatively, this will be called Pathwalking in Practice. Pathwalking in Practice is setting up actionable items in order to better work on conscious reality creation. What is an actionable item?  The things you do to actually walk the path you are choosing. Everything we choose begins at the same point.  There is a thought, an idea, an inspiration.  Something you read opens

This has been an interesting year. In some respects this goes with the Chinese curse of “May you live in interesting times”.  In some respects it has simply been full of odd and unusual, fascinating things.  In some respects it has just been interesting as opposed to uninteresting…and in some ways it’s very much Joss Whedon’s definition from Serenity: Mal: “Define interesting?” Wash: “Oh god oh god we’re all going to die?” Much of the latter is due to the

This is where it all began, five years ago: How can I make a difference? This question comes up for me fairly often. I want to help other people see the world in the way that I see it. NOT in a ‘my way is the one true way’ idea at all. On the contrary – I want people to disagree with me. I want them to consider these words, and reject them if they disagree. I want them to
