The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
What if it’s not success we truly seek in life – but satisfaction? I have been on multiple quests throughout my life. Along the way, I have sought a place to truly call home. Not just the location. The notion of home – where I am rooted and meant to be. Though still a bit vague – I have found that. I sought a career. There were many different job ideas that I pursued. Radio DJ, theatre, graphic arts, journalism,

Because feeling thankful leads to feeling fulfilled. Fulfillment through gratitude empowers you. Feeling empowered opens you up to mindfulness, which in turn opens you up to conscious reality creation. When you can consciously create your reality, you can achieve dreams, goals, and aspirations. And when you feel fulfilled, that feeling of completeness

It is never too late to take a new path in life, and change things for the better. There is, in our society, something of a timeline for things. In your late teens and early twenties, for example, you are expected to either get your college education or vocational training. In your late twenties

One of its definitions, from dictionary.com is to be without, or deficient in. Want comes from a place of lack and scarcity. It is a statement that implies that there is not enough, that you have gone without because that which you want there is not enough of. Further, that implies that
I have worked any number of jobs that didn’t leave me feeling satisfied. We all have to earn a living, right? You can’t just laze about your home, on a beach, or wander aimlessly all the time, because clothing, food and shelter cost money. Also, frankly, doing nothing at all gets pretty boring pretty fast. When I started college, I remember preparing to register for my first classes. It was orientation, and I had not yet chosen my major. I
How do I know if I am on the right path? This is probably the most basic, yet most challenging question to ask. The answer is both amazingly simple, and yet fairly complicated. Pathwalking is making choices about living life, in order to work to consciously create our personal reality as we want it to be. Rather than simply going along with life and letting whatever happens, happen; as we walk our chosen paths we strive to be present and
Pathwalking can be fraught with many challenges. I long ago came to believe that nothing worth having is ever easy. But there is a difference between challenge and struggle. Challenge involves growth and proactive change, while struggle is stagnation and reactive change. Challenge is deciding to change, while struggle is forced. Many of the challenges in Pathwalking are due to outside influences, some which we can control and some which we cannot. Recognizing this is the first step towards working
You are in control of more than you believe yourself to be. This can be a particularly difficult concept to believe, but that doesn’t lessen the truth of it. You are in control over how you think, how you feel, and how you act. I know that sometimes it feels like that control is really, really limited. Truth is, however, that the only limitations are those that you yourself place. Otherwise, you have far more power and capability to change
Intention is the reality of control. When you take an intentional action, you have a purpose, and are not just doing some thing for the sake of doing the thing. Intent means there is a plan to gain something from the action taken. I have been writing more or less since I began Pathwalking that one of the main reasons to walk one’s own path is to take control of your own destiny. I want to create a unique, interesting
Balancing living in the now with our overall perception of time is an interesting challenge. As I concluded last week, I have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the societal obsession with time, and my work to withdraw from that perception is a challenge. But because I desire to consciously create the reality I most want to have, I am doing anything and everything I can think of to more regularly live in the here and now. What tools do I have
