The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I’m tired of struggling with this feeling. Deep in the pit of my heart there is this ever-present sense of dread. It is utterly and completely fear-based, and no matter how often I address it in meditation, I can’t completely shake it. Why am I so fearful of this? What is it that I am afraid of? This is the question I have been asking myself as I have entered into my daily meditation for the last few days. What
Can logic and emotion coexist? There are many times that these two notions seem diametrically opposed. And yet they do both exist in everyone. But the balance and conflict between these concepts can be surreal at times. First, a necessary clarification. Logic, in this particular example, is thought and reason without emotion. This includes the performance of any number of actions, tangible or otherwise, with no emotional entanglements. To super-simplify this, the root of the issue is heart versus head.
Joy empowers us. When we do things that bring joy into our lives, we make ourselves better, stronger, and happier. Joy raises our frequency, and lets us attract more of the things we truly want for ourselves. Yet we frequently will deny ourselves joy. Why? A number of different reasons, of course. First is the external. In a society so focused on lack and scarcity, we wind up made to feel guilty if something makes us feel joyful. We begin
To change anything in life, changing what I am feeling is the key. Conscious reality creation requires thought to begin, feeling to fuel the flames, and intentional action to ignite them. For me, altering feeling is the toughest part of this. Last week I got to see Jen Sincero, author of You Are a Badass, speak. Like her books, she was an inspiring speaker. Unlike many of the other authors I have read or listened to, she manages to really
There are, in my opinion, three ways in which we can choose to live life. There are, as such, three realities people place their lives into. I have written about this before in previous posts, but I think it bears exploring further. Yes, I acknowledge off the bat that these are generalities. But let’s also face another fact: everyone is unique. We all think, feel and act differently from one another. The processes that go into this vary, and though
I deserve all the good things I desire. Over the last several months I have had a mantra I have recited with much frequency. I am abundant and prosperous. I am a good person, worthy and deserving of abundance, prosperity, success, wealth and joy. Succeed or fail, I am supported and I am loved. Taking an online course offered by Jen Sincero, author if my favorite self-help book, You Are A Badass, she calls this creation a Mantra of Mightiness.
Today will be what we make of it. Whether you begin your day feeling refreshed or sleepy; excited or anxious; with apprehension or confidence – today will be what you and I make it out to be. It is easy to forget that each day brings about something new. Yes, there are routines to every single day of our lives. We wake, we do stuff, we sleep. Frequently, we simply allow the day to just happen. We do not accept
No two people think alike. As I ponder this notion, it occurs to me that if we recognized this fact, we could truly change the world for the better. If we embraced the differences in how we think, we’d better understand the world around us. Let’s look at the Big Picture. Those who hold artificial positions of power. And yes, I mean artificial. Those who lead our nations, our churches and temples, our businesses are in power because they have
Keeping an optimistic outlook is anything but a weakness. In today’s society, we have a lot of ugly, unpleasant things that get our attention. Further, we are frequently told that it is important that we “be realistic”, and keep low expectations. Keep your head down, go to work, do the things, go home. Dreamers are often scorned or shunned for believing that there is more to this life. We frequently look at people with a sunny disposition or optimistic outlook
Be who you want to be. Do not wait for the right time, the right situation, or whatever perfect storm you desire. Be who you want, right now. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, be who you want to be. I have spent a good part of my life struggling with my own identity. This has come in a lot of different forms, but it has mostly been a combination of being indecisive about who I am, concerns about
