The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
A lot of time here has been spent on the topic of gratitude. But of almost equal importance, we need to also take a look at intention. Intent is about the outcome. Intent is about the perception of a choice. Intent is the answer to how you want whatever it is you are working on to be. Knowing our intent is of great importance, because if we do not know our intent, we will not necessarily get the outcome we
Writers are often classed into one of two categories: Planners and Pantsers. Planners are the ones who create an outline, sometimes with immense details, and plan out their work to a greater or lesser degree. They know their characters, locations, plot, beginning middle and end. They have most if not all of their work pre-planned, and they know where they are going throughout the writing process. Pantsers are the ones who are more apt to go with stream-of-consciousness. They have
We all want to be appreciated. Whether it is something little or something big, we all want to be acknowledged. We all want to feel that our efforts and works are appreciated. The power of gratitude is important to our own ability to do and to have things, but we cannot deny the power of appreciation. We need to be grateful for things, but we also need to be acknowledged and appreciated for the things we do. I know no
I have discussed the power of gratitude before. But it is SO important to Pathwalking, it really bears repeating. It is almost impossible to improve upon what you have in life, whether it is something material or immaterial, if you are not already grateful for what you DO have. Great or small, tangible or intangible, important or unimportant in the grand scheme of things, it is absolutely necessary that you have gratitude. There are times gratitude feels hard. When you
I know what I want to do. I can see the Path I want to choose to walk. That does not mean it is always easy, or clear. Some days, I do not know if I am only seeing my path, or traveling upon it. Morpheus says in The Matrix, “Sooner or later you’re going to realize, just as I did, that there’s a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path.” Yoda says in The Empire Strikes Back,
I have come to realize that if I am having doubts and issues and struggles along MY path, it is certain you are too. Pathwalking began as a challenge to myself to post something to the blog weekly, and has evolved into a lifestyle choice, and a philosophy that I think can be beneficial to practically everyone. But with any lifestyle choice that encourages going “against the grain” or outside of the “status quo”, there are unique challenges. Many of
Change is inevitable. Change will happen, no matter how much you would rather it did not. Change is a part of life, it is a constant, and it cannot be denied. We can put it off, we can neglect it, we can rail against it. But it will happen, and it will take place, for good or ill. Change comes. People often think themselves victims of circumstance, victims of change. But we all have within us the power to direct
While we are singular beings, we are made of many components. Some are physical and tangible, like our organs and limbs and such – some are intangible – like our soul, spirit, and emotions. While exploring the topic of trust, I touched on three separate but equal aspects that make up the human experience. I thought it might not be a bad idea to explore these further, as they play a greater part in our make-up than just with regards
So far we have looked at trust on several levels. It began with an analysis of the notion of trust, and how important trusting yourself it. Then I continued with answering the question What do you do to regain lost trust? I explored the absolute importance of forgiveness to this process, and how complex this notion really is. After that, I continued to explore the importance of trust, and how deeply necessary trusting yourself is. The question I have not
Trust is a multi-faceted concept many of us find difficult at best. When a breach of trust is an external issue you are faced with, what to do with the person/entity that did this? Do you keep them in your life, let them go, move them from inner circles to outer circles? But when it comes to the self you don’t have the same option. Of course, one could argue, you DO have that option. You can take on an
