How Is Practical Positivity Truly Possible in This Crazy World?

Practical positivity is more about approach than anything else. It is way too easy, currently, to see the world as being on fire. The news media is all about doom and gloom – because that sells. And so, we’re inundated and bombarded by an onslaught of negative, bad news. Take your pick – partisan politics, the situation in the Ukraine, COVID, Brexit, teacher and care-worker shortages, supply-chain issues, and more. None of this is pleasant. For a long time now,

You Control Your Mind

How you perceive everything – positive or negative – is yours to control. I don’t know that I can fully put into words the tremendous positivity that comes from you being in control of your mind. But I’m going to try. First – please accept this statement: Human beings are animals. Our brains, however, have evolved beyond the simplicities of survival and propagation of the species. We can dream of new wonders beyond the comprehension not only of the rest

Balancing Mindfulness Within and Without

Nobody lives in a vacuum. Balancing mindfulness within and without provides perspective on this. The last four years – at least here in the United States – have been tumultuous. One of the biggest takeaways from all that has transpired has been a new impression of people. We’ve seen some of the best of humanity – as well as some of the worst. There have been amazing examples of generosity, love, caring, kindness, and compassion. But then, there have also

This Too Shall Pass

Yes, this situation has been rough – but this too shall pass. Hard to believe that COVID-19 has been impacting our world for over a year. For most people, the impact was felt hardest when the nation shut down briefly in late March/early April of 2020. A shut down that was too brief to positively impact matters. Because of a lot of false narratives, focus on the economy over public health, and denial of the severity of the pandemic –

Your Perspective Can Change Unexpectedly

That can alter how you perceive life, the Universe, and everything. I have never in my life lived in the same place for more than 10 years. The same general area? Sure, more-or-less. But the same home? Never. Thinking back, in fact, I am pretty sure 9 years is the longest I ever lived in a single house. My wife lived in the same house for some 30 years or so. She has vivid, fond memories of her family home.

Perception is Entirely On You

Perception is Entirely On You Nobody else can see the world through your eyes or from the inside of your head except for you. There is nobody inside your head but you. The only person who can think, feel, and do for you is you. It is nearly impossible to be completely cut-off from the world. So many things are constantly happening, and the connectivity between everyone via smartphones, the internet and such is a mixed blessing and curse. You

Living my Philosophy

Living my philosophy is an ongoing practice. Some days are easy, other days take far more work. When I began the process of Pathwalking, my original intent was to create a subject matter I could write about weekly. It wasn’t long before this evolved into my personal life philosophy. The more I wrote, the more I desired to share it with the world. This began as a self-directed journey through life, employing conscious reality creation to find and create the

Speaking Your Truth

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Speaking your truth is an incredible source of positivity. A lot of people may find this hard to believe, but that makes it no less true. When you speak your truth, you open yourself up because you are being your most true, genuine self. While it can be scary to show the world who you are by speaking your truth, it is unbelievably freeing. This is because

What Is Reality?

Reality is how we perceive the world around us.  It both is and isn’t that simple, of course. No less an authority than Albert Einstein said, “Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.”  What that means is that what we perceive as our reality is different for everyone. To me, this thoroughly supports the notion that consciousness creates reality.  Since the reality we perceive is completely individual, and a persistent illusion, isn’t it completely logical that we can create

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.
