The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Some limitations are real – but many aren’t. Nearly all can be overcome – but not without effort. Most of the limitations we believe are self-imposed. When all is said and done, if you truly desire to have something you CAN find or create it. BUT – and this is important – you need to TRULY desire it. What does that mean? Everyone has skillsets. Some people are adept at all things physical. Other people are adept at all things
The normal of today is less than 75 years old. Why does this matter? Because too many people expect and react poorly to what is normal and not normal. Way, way too much unnecessary conflict is a product of this. The current average American lifespan is a shade more than 78 years. In everybody’s life, they will have unique experiences. What you will experience along the way is different from what I’ll experience. When it comes to the world stage,
You care. Still, others who care can be a mirror reflecting something you need to see. I have no idea what path anyone else in this world is on. Sometimes it’s obvious. More often, it is not. Yet even when your path is apparent to me – I haven’t any idea what it is. That’s because I cannot get inside your head. Of course, conversely, you can’t get into mine, either. So, who cares? That doesn’t really matter – to
Yes, there are plans afoot and paths I am on – but that doesn’t mean I am not lost, too. How are you feeling? I ask friends and loved ones this question frequently – but I do not ask this of myself nearly enough. Yet it is one of the quintessential questions of mindfulness. What I am thinking, what, and how I am feeling are the most tangible elements of mindfulness – next to the intent behind my actions. To
For a lot of my life, I was so afraid of failing that I didn’t do anything. Hence, I had a guaranteed failure. I would reach a crossroads and just stand there, indecisive. There, right in front of me, were multiple choices. Yet I could not decide which – if any – to choose. I’d have an idea for something I desired to do – but indecision paralysis set in. Nothing was done, and I did not leave the crossroads.
Am I embarking on a new path or just living the definition of insanity? This quote is attributed to Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Whether or not Einstein did in fact say this, the point is valid. How else can you explain trying the same thing again and again – with little to no change – and expecting the result to change? This is not the notion of seeking
I can’t tell you what to be, how to be, or what to do. So, you do you. Every day, I offer different ideas, insights, pieces of advice, and the like. I write extensive explanations of conscious reality creation, mindfulness, positivity, and other life lessons. Then I share them both because I have a desire to explore them further, and because I believe that you could benefit from that exploration. No matter what I share, the ideas I present, or
This is a valid question that can be applied to many things. So why do what you do? I don’t know about you, but the past nearly six months have been insane for me. I kept on working through the pandemic from home but lost fencing practice in the wisdom to close things down. Friends have been furloughed, lost jobs, or are facing sending kids back to school – or returning there themselves to teach – despite the ongoing battle
The world is full of potential and possibility. But what have you got to offer to it? For years, I asked myself – what is my purpose in life? I know I am not the only one who has asked this question. For a long, long time – the answer was unclear. However, I am pretty sure that this is because I was trying to figure out how to fit inside a box that I was not ever going to
Change is the only constant in the Universe. How do you adapt when it happens? The only absolutely certain constant in the Universe is change. Change will happen – sometimes slowly, sometimes instantaneously. Like it or not, change happens. Much you can do nothing about. The planet is turning, winds come and go, volcanoes erupt, the earth quakes, and yadda-yadda. You can vote, attend protests, give money to worthy causes – and that’s the limit of what you can do
