The Philosophy of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, Nontoxic Positivity, and More
I have low-energy today – and it’s not conducive to getting anything done. I have work to do. Both of my freelance jobs have things that need to be done by me. Nothing Earth-shattering or particularly time-sensitive – but they need to be done. Also – most importantly, probably – getting them done gets me paid. Additionally, I have my own writing and editing to do. There’s a novel that I’d like to publish this year that’s not done. On
I believe how I handle a trigger and what I do after is my choice. But YMMV. There was a conversation thread on Twitter. It was skewing negatively, so I decided to make a less negative statement. Someone replied to that – in a way that I found insulting. I admit, my reply to their reply was somewhat less politic and tactful than it could have been. And that person went off on me for it. The response I received
The answer is Yes. Both the path and I adjust in various ways. The only constant in the entire Universe is Change. I repeat that a lot. Why? Because it can have a truly amazing impact on our life experiences when we recognize, acknowledge, and accept this truth. Everything you know – all the comfort zones you exist in – has changed before. They will change again. And then, after they change – they’ll still change. No matter how resistant
We need to work more with mindfulness to embrace change. There are two topics I cover repeatedly. Fear and change. Why? Because we live in a fear-based society and change is the only constant in the Universe. What’s more, fear of change drives many, many people and the things they do. Accepting the inevitability of change goes a long way towards learning to embrace it. But that’s not easy to do because of how fear is so broadly exploited. What
Actions don’t just speak louder than words – they move and change everything. New Year’s Eve is almost upon us. Besides various forms of celebration people participate in around the world – lots of people make New Year’s Resolutions. They resolve to go to the gym more, quit smoking, eat fewer carbs, spend less time surfing social media, and other similar notions. But there is a major problem with resolution. It’s rather impotent. How do I mean? Let’s begin by
If I am blocking my energy flow it impacts everything I desire to do and achieve. There are two truths in this Universe that I believe without question. Change is the only constant in the Universe. Everything is made of energy that is constantly changed Recently, I learned that change is the only reason we exist. If the elements that make us up did not change – we would not be. Energy is what makes us. In fact, energy is
What change makes is literally everything. There is only one constant in the entire Universe. Change. Change will always happen. Sometimes it is so glacially slow and microscopically small that it seems not to be happening. Other times it’s cataclysmic, sudden, and ginormous. Either way – change is. It’s constant, unstoppable, and ineffable. Without change – nothing we know would be. In the words of Marcus Aurelius, “Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change?
Recognizing that I don’t know that opens me to options to learn, grow, and control change. There are some things I know a lot about. And there are even more things that I know a little about. This can be both incredibly useful – and slightly dangerous. Useful, because I perceive what I realize to the extent that I know it. Be it something I know a little or a lot about – what I already discern has limits. There
The Universe is a paradox. Hence, sometimes something bad can turn out to be good. My life was forever changed 22 years ago. On November 30th, 1999, I decided to walk the quarter-mile or so from my apartment to the post office. When crossing the busy highway between home and my destination, I was struck by a car (and it was a hit-and-run incident). Fortunately, I have zero memory of the accident itself. For the next week or so, there
It’s too easy to see the world as being on fire. But gratitude can extinguish the flames. The last two years have been insane. Not for me, per se – but on the scale of the Big Picture of the world. Between Trump, COVID-19, ugly social injustices, discrimination, surreal entitlement, blatant lies from many of our so-called leaders and “news” networks, and the seemingly never-ending stream of awfulness – it sure as hell looks like the world is on fire.
