The Philosophy of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, Nontoxic Positivity, and More
Or just adjustments to your path that reflect the new year. Face it. Change is the one and only constant in the universe. Like it or not, change can, will, and does happen all the time. Most, you have little to no control over. That’s because you are not, nor ever will be, in anyone’s head, heart, or soul, save your own. Also, most change just is. It’s not good or bad, positive or negative in and of itself. It
Not everyone finds this time of year so celebratory. I’ve been tired of the Christmas-themed advertisements and music since they started in early October. Was it so long ago that talk of Christmas didn’t start before Halloween was complete, at the earliest? How about after Thanksgiving? I’ve worked in retail, so I fully understand that stores were doing all their holiday purchases back in June and July. Somehow, the increasing commercialization of the holidays, and Christmas in particular, stretches further
Let’s talk about the reality of the so-called “normal.” I don’t normally go off on economics or politics, save mentions here and there. But this keeps bothering me. I keep seeing memes, posts on social media, and other references to corporate welfare, the “needs” for subsidies and tax relief for uber-wealthy people and businesses, and other lies of capitalism we’re constantly bombarded with. Businesses whine about losing money on properties that are now empty due to work from home and
Similar, but not the same. I started blogging weekly at the start of 2012. This was my first New Year’s Action (rather than a resolution), and it got me writing more frequently. I began to blog once a week, and Pathwalking was born. Now, 729 weeks later, I’m still creating content and sharing my evolving philosophy on life, conscious reality creation, mindfulness, and more. In addition to Pathwalking weekly, I added many other daily posts. At one point, I was
Recognizing this is important to claiming your power. There is only one person inside of your head, heart, and soul. That would be you. Only you can think your thoughts, feel your feelings, intend your intentions, choose your approach, and take your actions. Obvious, right? Not so much. The entire anti-woke movement misses this. If they didn’t, they’d recognize and acknowledge that being woke – awake and aware – is far better than being asleep at the switch or allowing
Only you can get inside your mind and be who you desire to be. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Some people swear by this routine or that practice and tell you it’s the One True Way. Maybe what they do will work for you, too. Maybe. But there are no guarantees. That’s because who you are is not who they are. No two people are the same. Alike? Sure. The same? No. Every single person on Planet
Finding and/or creating change is tied directly to this. What is a comfort zone? Often, it’s not a place that’s actually comfortable. No, frequently a comfort zone is a place that’s familiar, known, and relatively stable for you. Your comfort zone can be mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical. Mentally, it might be an ideal, a truth, a belief you cling to (even in the face of it being uncomfortable or disprovable). Emotionally, it might be a feeling or love, connection,
This step is often skipped. You and I live in a quick-fix society. Everywhere you look, there are life-hacks, shortcuts, the latest pill for weight-loss, cryptocurrency for instant wealth, and so on. Society almost always focuses on the end goal. To be respected, to be seen as someone, to shine, you must achieve. There must be a visible success you can point to. Fail to achieve, and all that you are gets called into question. The problem with the quick-fix,
An ill-defined line understood only through stillness and mindfulness. No matter who you are, what you do, or where you come from, you’re always experiencing things. This happens both passively and actively. I’ve said for years that there are three primary ways to choose to live your life. They are: Nobody chooses only one of the above. Everyone will flit from one to the other to the other from time to time. There are also additional variations for how to
You’re empowered to make choices and decisions to live your life. Who is living your life? Is there anyone else inside of your mind, body, and soul? Can another person climb inside of your head, heart, and spirit and live your life? No. Yet an almost overwhelming narrative from various influencers, leaders, and instructors paints a different picture. They offer a vision of a specific, monochromatic viewpoint of what’s best for everyone. Given that all 8 billion people on Planet
