The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Even when things look really bleak, we can still find good in them. We are living in interesting times, in many ways like the Chinese curse. There are a lot of people who seem hell-bent on messing with social order, let alone taking away good things for people in the name of politics and money. Yes, this is mostly a pretty terrible thing. And yet, there has been good to have come of it. People are taking more notice, taking
As you walk your chosen paths, you will meet well-intentioned resistance. Well-intentioned resistance is when people give you news and information that is “for your own good” or to “tell it like it is” or to otherwise offer advice, in order to keep you from making “poor” choices. This comes from those closest to you, and can be very disconcerting. Society has certain norms and expectations of us. We are supposed to go through the motions. You work five days
You learn something new every day. This is not just some cliché phrase, it’s literally true. Some things we learn are huge and life changing, but most are minute and easy to overlook. One of the greatest joys of life is that there is always something new to be learned. Because there is always something new to learn, virtually no situation is impossible or irreparable. We simply may be lacking in the necessary knowledge. Learning is often tied in with
Where do you find your path? This can be a daunting question. Finding the path you want to walk is a matter of necessity. No two paths are the same. Similar in some respects, but not the same. For example, it is my personal goal to become a bestselling author. While there are lots of bestselling authors out there, each of us will traverse different paths to that goal. Knowing my path, where did I find it? The simple answer
You cannot help the world if you don’t help yourself. Pathwalking is about seeking out your own destiny. Walking your own path in life. Pathwalking is about living life to the fullest, striving for the best experiences. It can be very hard not to feel that this idea is selfish. It is even more difficult when you see the state of the world today. The constant deluge of information, specifically negativity, greed, and selfishness, can be disconcerting. I try not
How do you and a partner walk your paths together? This question came to mind as I considered that my wife and I have different goals and aspirations for our professional lives. I want to share why for us this is not problematic, and how I think we strengthen and reinforce one another in walking our separate paths together. There are some important points to keep in mind here. No matter who you are, you cannot walk anyone’s path but
Walking along the path of your choosing can sometimes be scary. This is frequently because in choosing your own path in life, you will incur both internal and external criticism. The internal is the result from when you step out of your comfort zone; the external is the reaction you get from those around you as you break from the accepted norm. Pathwalking is about choice. It is about consciously creating our own reality, and seeking out our own destiny.
How do I know if I am on the right path? This is probably the most basic, yet most challenging question to ask. The answer is both amazingly simple, and yet fairly complicated. Pathwalking is making choices about living life, in order to work to consciously create our personal reality as we want it to be. Rather than simply going along with life and letting whatever happens, happen; as we walk our chosen paths we strive to be present and
Pathwalking can be fraught with many challenges. I long ago came to believe that nothing worth having is ever easy. But there is a difference between challenge and struggle. Challenge involves growth and proactive change, while struggle is stagnation and reactive change. Challenge is deciding to change, while struggle is forced. Many of the challenges in Pathwalking are due to outside influences, some which we can control and some which we cannot. Recognizing this is the first step towards working
You are in control of more than you believe yourself to be. This can be a particularly difficult concept to believe, but that doesn’t lessen the truth of it. You are in control over how you think, how you feel, and how you act. I know that sometimes it feels like that control is really, really limited. Truth is, however, that the only limitations are those that you yourself place. Otherwise, you have far more power and capability to change
