The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Nobody is truly alone in this life. There needs to be balance for yourself and for those you love. The paths I have chosen to take for my life are mine alone. They have similarities to the paths others take – but they are still unique to me. However – I am not a single solitary figure. I have a wife, friends, and family I love deeply, and various people and responsibilities I have taken on. So, while living my
Because the Universe ultimately gives you permission to choose any path. There is an unfortunate undercurrent in our society that keeps people down. And it’s made up of some of the most convoluted mixed messages you can imagine. We are constantly shown how people should “stand up for themselves” and “stand on their own two feet” and “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” and the like. Be tough, and strong, and firm. Go to it, go at it, go for
Because forgiving yourself changes your energy and opens you to conscious reality creation. The number of times I have fucked things up in my life is pretty impressive. I mean, when it comes to doing it wrong, choosing poorly, and generally screwing up in some way or other – I am a pro. How many of you can make the same statement? Do you also believe yourself to be a professional fuck-up? Or maybe you haven’t reached the level of
Multiple paths can’t be traveled all at once. Prioritizing is the key to choosing their order. I love to have a lot to do. Frankly, when I have nothing to do, I get restless. Hence, there is more than one path I am on at this time. Each path takes me to an overall end goal of feeling more connected between myself and the world. But I am just one man. I can’t be in two places at once (okay,
Exploring why this path is the right path and what that means. Nobody has one single path they will take in their lifetime. You will choose more than one path along the way. This occurs for multiple reasons. At different times in your life, you’ll desire different things. What you desire as a child is likely not what you desire as a teen. The things you desire change as you grow and change. When I started college, I wanted to
Situational awareness is the knowledge of others and how they impact you and vice versa. As much as I love fencing and one-on-one combat, I have an equal love for melee combat. Melee combat, for those unfamiliar with the concept, involves combat between two or more fighters against like or greater numbers. The dynamics of combat change dramatically when the numbers increase. Tactics for two-on-two differ from one-on-one. Now multiply that by a LOT. Tactics for dozens versus dozens are
While my perspective has changed throughout my life, I still need a change of perspective today. It is all too easy to look at what you do not have. The things that you have not yet accomplished, the ongoing processes and insufficient results, and on and on. Despite my philosophy and conscious reality creation work, I still find myself looking at what I haven’t got yet. For example – I’m still not earning the kind of money I believe that
I am just one person. But there are many paths I can choose from. Practicing mindfulness is the key to Pathwalking and like philosophies. Many people believe that life is beyond their control. Shit happens, you go with whatever comes your way. You do what you gotta do – and unless you are somehow special, expect nothing but the bare minimums. Let’s just dispel that right off the bat. Every. Single. Person. On. The. Planet. Is. Amazing. The potential and
Today isn’t yesterday. Tomorrow won’t be today. One day at a time. When I was younger, I was super high-strung. It didn’t take a lot for me to get out-of-sorts. And my temper? Yeah, there were numerous walls and doors over the years I put a fist or foot into in anger. I know I wrecked a whole bunch of my cordless phones by throwing them in my 20s. During my 30s, following the nearly crippling accident that made me
Why would you choose a path if it wouldn’t bring you joy? Why do you do what you do? That’s a loaded question with different answers, dependent on the “what.” For certain obligations and expectations, the answer is responsibility, to earn money, contribute to society, etc. But what about goals? Big or small, why do you do what you do to reach an intended goal? The answer, I am guessing, is satisfaction. You seek that sense of achievement, of accomplishment,
