Life is Unpredictable

Be cause life is unpredictable, what you know or think you know can change drastically. Recently my friends and I have experienced an almost unbelievable amount of life changes. Before we knew it, a great many of the things we knew changed, and changed drastically. This has been emotional, disturbing, and incredibly difficult to wrap one’s head around. It has been a highly surrealistic example of how much life is unpredictable. What you know at this moment as the reality

Positivity in the Moment

Finding positivity in the moment Nobody can be positive all the time, but moments of positivity can be a tremendous boost on your psyche. Why do I write about positivity every week? Because negativity is all too easy to come across, and difficult to resist.   Do I believe you should never feel negative? No. Shit happens. There are days where life sucks. Bad things occur, people get sick and die, friends turn on you – and that’s just the

Pathwalking 404 – Path Not Found (Not Normal!)

I Am Not Normal I know it, embrace it, and love who it makes me as such. When my wife and I first began dating, I think it may have been the second date when she looked at me and said, “You are an unapologetic geek.” “Yup.” I had, long before, accepted how much of a geek I am. This has been a recurrent theme across my life. There was, of course, a time when I didn’t accept this aspect

What Positivity is Not

Recognizing What Positivity Is Not Exploring the other side of a powerful tool for choices and decisions to create our lives. I write weekly about positivity and how important it is in my life. Further, I espouse how important positivity can be to the whole world. The thing that cannot be ignored, however, it what positivity is not. So let me explain what that means. Positive AND negative Thinking and feeling positive does not and should not ignore, erase, or

Stumbling Over Old Beliefs along my Path

Practicing mindfulness alone doesn’t always open the door to change old beliefs. One of the key elements of Pathwalking is using mindfulness to consciously create reality. Ergo, I am doing things to better myself and create the life I most desire to live. There are two super-frustrating things I cannot seem to get out of my head. These are my thought processes when it comes to money and when it comes to weight loss/body consciousness. Specifically, these are brain weasels

The World is Not on Fire

The World is Not on Fire Despite appearances, the world is not, in fact, burning down. There is no denying that we are living in trying times. The amount of hatred, anger, indignity, and negativity you and I encounter on a daily basis is utterly staggering. If you give this too much attention, it becomes far too easy to see the world as being on fire. Whether the dumpster fire is Trump, Brexit, corporate greed, climate change, or what-have-you, it

The Adventure is Yours to Choose

In what direction would you like to take your life? Every day is a brand new day. Why does that matter? Because it means that every day you get new choices, new options, new possibilities, new opportunities, and more. No matter how the previous day may have ended, you get a new day full of new options. Or rather, you get to choose how to view this new day. You could also possibly see every day as the same as

There are any number of examples of this you can look to. Control over immigration; shifting control of industries away from federal regulations; controlling the media to be more favorable to one opinion or the other. Everywhere you look, there are attempts at assuming, creating, destroying, or otherwise shifting

Do I Know Who I Am?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   I am not going to hold back any longer. I am showing who I am. No more hiding aspects of who I am. The time is at hand for me to be the best me possible. There are many aspects of myself that I tend to make light of, or give little to no acknowledgement of. Some of this has come from concerns about how people will

Is Thinking Overrated?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Thinking is not overrated What a lot of people tend to neglect is that thought is the beginning of anything and everything.  Thinking drives the Universe, gives us new and exciting creations, and changes the world in wondrous ways. At least, it should.  All-too-often, though, thinking gets poo-pooed.  There is currently such a backlash against intellectualism that logic and reason are taking a constant backseat to zealotry
