The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Time factors into so very many aspects of our lives. So many of the things we do in our day are dictated to us by time. There is a time to sleep, a time to wake, a time to eat, a time to work, a time to play, time for this, time for that. And of course, on the other side, there is a lack of time. Running late, out of time, too late, the time is getting away from
“Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson. Luck is an interesting topic. Many people believe that it is luck, good or bad, that makes our lives. Luck of the draw. Luck of the Irish. Good luck. Bad luck. Lucky in love. Unlucky in love. Pathwalking is about finding and making your own path in life. Luck has nothing to do with this. Yes, I will not deny that sometimes it is
One of the most often used phrases people throw around is “forgive, but don’t forget.” While many are champions of applying this to others in their lives, this is somewhere many of us fail at when it comes to ourselves. Last week I talked about the “forgive” portion of this, but did not get into the “don’t forget” aspect. To put it simply, the importance of forgiving without forgetting is to avoid repetition in errors. I can forgive myself for
One of the most often used phrases people throw around is “forgive, but don’t forget.” While many are champions of applying this to others in their lives, this is somewhere many of us fail at when it comes to ourselves. What do I mean by that? We are good at forgiving but forgetting when others do wrong by us, but not so good at this with ourselves. When it comes to our own mistakes, errors, stupidities and such, we are
I want to walk my own path, but there are multiple goals I want to achieve. How do I choose? While it is possible to head towards more than one goal at a time, I find it often necessary to prioritize. Sometimes this is purely organizational, sometimes its to prevent putting the cart before the horse. An important thing we need to acknowledge and take into account before this discussion goes much further – Pathwalking is about the path. The
If Pathwalking is about choosing a direction and walking a path, what do you do when there are multiple goals you seek? I have been perplexed by this very question pretty much all of my adult life. And when I was younger, this actually tripped me up frequently. I wanted to do and be different things that were not necessarily congruent with one another, which made my choices even harder. For a long time, I was an expert at explaining
Is there anyone who does not want freedom in their lives? Don’t we all want to be free? Free to do what we want, free to live how we want, free to explore this world and love and laugh and find peace and happiness? Doesn’t nearly everything we choose have to do with having freedom? Pathwalking is an expression of freedom. Freedom of choice, freedom from oppression and a dull, pointless existence – freedom is part of why I want
“The Warrior of the Light does not always have faith. There are moments when he believes in absolutely nothing. And he asks his heart: ‘Is all this effort really worth it?’ But his heart remains silent, and the Warrior has to decide for himself.” – Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light. I have been Pathwalking on and off for years, really. I began to formulate what this notion was in earnest last year, and am constantly developing my approach to
The past two posts have been discussing the topic of failure. This week, I want to take an in-depth look at the most important aspect of handling failure – how to let it go, learn from it, and continue along the path. As we have discussed prior – failure is NOT a bad thing. Failure is a lesson either great or small that causes us to alter our path. Some of the greatest achievements in history have come about due
Let’s take a closer look at accepting that failure will happen. We all receive so many messages expressing how negative failure is, how horrid it can be, that we cannot come to accept failure can happen. But it will. Plain and simple. Harsh though this statement is, it is unavoidable – you will fail. I will fail. In some way, failure will happen. It might be grand, it might be miniscule, but whenever you set out to do something, there
