The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Let’s touch on an unpleasant topic – failure. No matter how clear a path might be, no matter how much effort I might put out, how perfect my focus might be…it is still possible to fail. Some people fear failure above everything else. Failure is the ultimate unpleasantness, some people feel. Failure is viewed as the absolute testament of a lack of worth. Failure is not an option has been a bold statement made by many along the way. And
Thus far, in exploring the “six core human necessities”, we have examined the needs for certainty, uncertainty, significance, growth, and contribution. These core human needs, as mentioned prior, are borrowed from Tony Robbins, but all tie into Pathwalking rather well. So far, we have taken a look at those that are almost entirely from within. Now, I want to examine the one that must ALSO be about the world outside of us. I am talking about, of course, love and
Following my last couple of posts, I want to continue to examine the “six core human necessities”. As suggested by Tony Robbins, these are certainty, uncertainty, significance, love and connection, growth, and contribution. Let’s take a closer look at significance (the need for feeling wanted and worthy), growth and contribution. All of these come from within, and are core to everything we need in order to walk the paths of our choosing. Significance in particular is tricky. Why? Because often
Though a paradox, it is postulated that we all need certainty and uncertainty in our lives. Following my last post, I want to further examine the “six core human necessities”. As suggested by Tony Robbins, we all need certainty, uncertainty, significance, love and connection, growth, and contribution. I agree with this notion, and believe that it ties into Pathwalking rather well. Certainty and uncertainty are respectively the need for stability/security and the need for variety. The problem with this, of
I want to share some guidance I have received as I have been walking my own path. Whether you consider him a visionary or a shyster, Tony Robbins has been an influential figure in the lives of a great many people over the last couple decades. While I do not necessarily agree with everything he presents, he does more often than not seem to me to share my philosophy. Consciousness creates reality: The core of Pathwalking. One thing Tony Robbins
Pathwalking may be a singular choice…but that does not mean we have to go it alone. I have talked about people not understanding your path. People not understanding the choices you make. People trying to influence you as obstructions, not to help you. But what I have not mentioned previously are the people along your path supporting you. Human beings are not meant to be alone. We are, science tells us, social creatures. We need friends, family, loved ones, even
While Pathwalking is a personal, singular choice, this does not mean that outside forces are wholly invalid. I often talk about not letting outside influences dissuade you from your path. But sometimes those outside influences cannot be wholly ignored. Oh great. Another paradox. This is true, it IS another paradox. But it can’t be ignored either. And yes, this can be a complication in matters…but let me explain the thought process. Diets almost never work. Limiting what you eat for
What about branching paths? How do you figure out if the branches are worth walking or need pruning off of your life paths? This was an excellent question asked following Pathwalking 53. The answer is both extremely simple and potentially complex. As you walk your path, you will come across forks, branches, crossroads, and various and sundry obstacles. How can you tell a diversion from a proper path? How do you choose which is the way to go? Let’s break
Do you know yourself? I have encountered far more people for whom the answer to that question is No, rather than Yes. What does that even mean? As a society, we have become extremely complacent about our lives. I say over and over again that people too often just let life live them. Get up in the morning, go to work, go home, veg in front of the TV a couple hours, go to bed. Rinse, repeat. We look to
How do I find a path to choose in the first place? Pathwalking requires a path. Sometimes, it is not just a matter of choosing a path…it is a matter of finding a path to choose. This is sometimes simple, sometimes seemingly impossible. But everyone has the ability to make choices, and as such anyone can find a path to choose. But how do I find the path? Where do I look for a path? This is not something that
