The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
But that’s how the path goes sometimes. Expect the unexpected. The biggest goal I have for my life is to do something that makes the world a better place. It is my greatest desire to have a positive impact on the world. I hope to help people lead better lives, do more amazing things, and generally experience all the potential and possibilities. There are two paths of a similar ilk that I am taking along that way. The first is
That situation didn’t go how I expected it to, and that’s not a bad thing in this case. You can make all sorts of plans for your life. There are innumerable paths you can choose. Yet no matter the path nor the plan, sometimes it doesn’t go how you expected it to. Sometimes this is not so good. Often, it’s not a bad thing at all. Perfect example. Recently, I applied for a job as a receptionist. No, not the
What happens when the unexpected occurs and the path you have been traveling in life is suddenly no more? For many, once they find themselves on the path they have chosen for their life, this is apropos of how it makes them feel: “The way is clear / the light is good / I have no fear/ nor no one should.” – Prologue, Into the Woods But then, what happens when, like an unexpected bolt of lightning from the sky,
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
We all experience things that cause us to have an immediate, negative emotional response. Last week I wrote about not holding onto that and letting it take hold of you. So, what are some means by which to cope with a negative emotional response? Everyone can employ something different, and there is of course no one true response. Also, situationally, different matters may call for a different response. Some options for releasing that immediate negative response could include meditation, crying,
Ultimately, when it comes to how I feel, I am the only one who has any say. For a lot of people, this seems hard to believe, I don’t doubt. Why? Because things happen that elicit an emotional response we have no control over. Which is not true. I agree that things happen that cause an emotional response. Yes, we get into car accidents, we spill food on our clothes, we get hurt by someone we love, we do something
It’s that time of the year again. As you are reading this, I am on vacation. I wanted to look back and see what I wrote last year at this time. That, in turn, led me to read what I had written the previous year during this same week. I didn’t stop there. I paused and took a quick look back to all of my previous Pathwalks that were posted while I was on my annual vacation. This year is
I frequently write about energy. I believe that everything, at its core, is energy. That is the center of the Universe, that is the point of origin for all. We begin and end as energy, neither created nor destroyed, frequently transmuted. Over the past half a year plus, I have been working to meditate more frequently. Why? Because meditation is the ultimate means to connect to source energy. What is source energy? Source energy is pure energy in the air,
While you, and you alone, can choose and walk a given path, you don’t necessarily need to do so on your own. The key is to know the difference between allowing someone to offer guidance, advice and help versus control, obstruction and discouragement. Nobody knows everything. Plain and simple, nobody knows everything. Because that’s the case, everyone needs to seek help, advice and assistance from time to time. While we may each have our own expertise, there will always be
My path is good for me, but probably not for you. As we are not in competition, I would be happy to help you along your path in whatever way I can. Competition is a fine thing in certain respects. My baseball team versus your team, track stars running for the best time, fencers fighting to best one another, and for that matter most competitive sports. Competition in the everyday, for the most part, is unhealthy. This is not just
