The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
What brings me joy? Sunlight. Writing. Reading. Time with my wife. Time with my friends. My cats. My niece and my nephews. Driving with the windows down and the radio blasting. Helping other people. I want more joy in my life. I want to spend more time happy, excited to greet the day and write my stories and share my blogs and do everything I can to make at least my corner of the world the best place that it
Feeling joy has been something of a challenge of late. I am an empath. As an empath, I constantly feel the emotional states of other people around me. What does that mean? It means when many, many of my friends and loved ones are feeling anxious because of, oh, say, awful acts of inhumanity on the part of our government…I get not only my own anger, frustration and dismay over what is happening, but also all of theirs as well.
We are obsessed with time. Time factors into our lives in ways we hardly pay attention to, but there it is. We are constantly exploring matters of time, events, dates, appointments, past, present, future, and on and on. Time is everywhere, and we are frequently coping with a perceived shortage or overage of it. Why am I going on about this? Because I am sitting here, spending my time doing nothing. On the plus side, as I write this, I
Fear is like an obscuring mist, covering each step in uncertainty. Doubt, uncertainty, dis-ease, discomfort, anxiety are all specific manifestations of fear. Worst of all, they come from a most intangible and illusive fear. I have written quite a lot about fear. Both for Pathwalking and Positivity and even amongst my topical rants, fear is a subject I come back to rather frequently. Why? Because fear is one of the most pervasive driving forces of our modern society. Those in
Crossing the bridges is only possible when you start taking steps. I intend to become a best-selling author. While I write several different things in different genres, one of the intents of this particular blog is determining better ways to traverse bridges between these writing styles. However, in many respects, the first bridge I need to cross is between the life I currently have to the life that I actually want to have. I have written it before, and I
I speak less highly of myself than anyone else. I am my own worst critic. Always have been. Know how that feels? You always manage to find something to be critical about? The one person you criticize the most, whom you give the absolute least amount of slack to being you? I know that this does me no good. If my plans are not completed or I get distracted or I fail to do as planned, I can count on
Time to take action. I have been a bit stuck in regards to promoting my writing. I blog thrice a week, sure, and Seeker, Finder and Clouds of Authority are all available on Amazon. But I have haven’t done much to promote any of these recently, and generate more sales. Writing the story is one thing. Editing it is another. Formatting and publishing it is not the last step, by any stretch of the imagination. At least, not when you
Do you beat yourself up when you fail to follow-through on something? Do you spend time berating yourself, getting upset over mistakes and failures to launch? Do you start to feel bad, to spiral negatively when you had all the right intentions but then don’t complete your plan? Most people do. I know I do. I get annoyed with myself, and start to feel bad when I make a plan and then I don’t move on it. Last week I
Planning is all well-and-good. It’s the actions that I find frequently challenging. The purpose of this particular blog is to share personal accountability as I do the things I do to live the life I most desire to live. Positivity is specifically sharing positive things to combat negativity while Pathwalking is more specifically about the mechanics of my conscious reality creation process. Crossing the Bridges is my personal journey, and the challenges as I take it. I have written about
Crossing the Bridges can be difficult if you insist on burning them down before you reach the other side. I have always been a fan of the phrase, “I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it.” I know the word should be cross, but I think I’m a pretty funny guy, so I use burn instead. The problem is, I DO have a tendency to burn the bridges, often while I am right in the middle of the span.
