The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
It’s your path – you can choose to reclaim it when you lose it. It doesn’t matter what paths you choose in life. I don’t think they ever go as intended. Why? Because life is full of uncertainty, situations, and circumstances way outside of your control. For example, I knew the plans we had around Christmas for months now. I was all set to carry them out. Everything was in place and set to go as of the Wednesday before
It’s empowering when you accept what control you DO have. The only thing over which you and I have control is ourselves. Even then, there are limits to what you can and do control. All of them are internal. Sure, there are externals that you can direct – but control is not the case. You can change your body shape, eye color, hair length and color, what you wear, and maybe a couple of other elements of yourself. That’s pretty
It’s worthwhile because it’s the only thing we can genuinely control. Ever find yourself thinking about something utterly outside of your control? I don’t just mean a random, passing thought. What I’m on about is giving deep, analytical thought towards something over which you have zero control. For example – politics. Apart from voting, protests, phone calls and letters to our representatives – there’s nothing we can do. When it comes to the world stage, there’s even less that we
Positivity is less about how we feel than about how we choose to approach our lives. How easy is it to feel bad? To find negativity in the world? To see darkness, sadness, and hopelessness? Too easy. Surf the internet. Watch cable news. Shouldn’t take more than a minute or two to start down that path. Because it is so extremely easy to find the bad and the negative in our world today – they often become dominant. And if
Yes, we can change anything. But it begins with ourselves. This weekend, two dear friends got married. Both, in the time I have known them, have changed in many ways. And the journey to get to this place together was not easy for either of them. But surrounded by friends and family, they pledged their love and lives together. Who you were is not who you are. And who you are is not who you will be tomorrow. That’s the
This is much easier than you think it is – but – taking control requires some hard work on your self. What can you control? Honestly, it’s a VERY short list. To sum up – you. You have the power to control your appearance – what you wear, how you cut your hair, piercings, tattoos, and so on. Beneath the surface, you can control your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions. Underneath that, you have control over your mindset/headspace/psyche. How you

They belong only to those who are wielding them, and will only continue to exist as long as people accept their own lack of them. Yes, when we go to the voting booth, we are choosing people to “represent” us. Some take that responsibility to
This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures. Don’t lose hope. I know that the world looks bleak right now, but we can still change it. Yes, there is some pretty awful stuff happening in the world around us. Terrible people are doing terrible things; threatening to take away rights; disempowering and disenfranchising all for their own interests; shredding the very fabric of our society. It feels terrible, it is scary and unpleasant and infuriating,
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
