How many paths can you find to walk for your life? Pathwalking, as mentioned previously, should not be a one-time action.  Pathwalking is a lifestyle choice.  The completion of one path should lead to the choice of the next path.  And then the next.  And then the next. One notion of Pathwalking is to reach a goal.  There is a tangible something we seek along this path.  But once we have made that achievement, once we have found that something,

What happens when you finally reach your goal? What do you do when you have walked your path, and discover that, in fact, the got to where you were aiming to go? I will be happy to tell you when I manage to get there.  It has not happened for me yet. However, I can speculate, based on numerous truths that one must take into account with regards to life in general, and based on what I am learning as

Perhaps circumstances have put you in a bad place.  The question is – what do you do about it? This is a key aspect of Pathwalking.  Rather than being a victim of circumstance, the goal is to make your situations as you wish them to be.  But a huge challenge to this goal is often the circumstances therein. You certainly did not ask to lose the job, be incapable of paying the debt, be trapped in that relationship, be living

Are you grateful for the opportunity to walk your own path? This question is of far greater importance than you might think.  Without gratitude, it is impossible to gain anything.  Walking your path will inevitably fail. Yes, that is a very broad statement.  But it is completely true.  Every self-help teacher and new age guru, almost every spiritual leader past and present will tell you that gratitude is absolutely necessary to achieve anything.  If you are not grateful for what

There is more than enough love, power, happiness and joy for everyone.  These things are in abundance, even though they are all-too-often denied. All of these are part of why one chooses Pathwalking.  I know that I, personally, want more love, empowerment, happiness and joy in my life.  And choosing my own path helps bring me that every day. Of course it is not that simple, or that easy.  In especial in a world where the messages are all about

Pathwalking is about choice.  It is about being active instead of reactive.  And it is about empowering the self. Empowerment often scares people.  The idea of power has been twisted and skewed in such a way that we often view it as a negative.  But empowerment of the self is healthy, and a central aspect of Pathwalking. The line “power corrupts” is constantly emphasized in our society.  You cannot look at a modern election and NOT have that thought.  Big

“In order to have faith in our own path, we don’t need to prove that someone else’s path is wrong”.  – Paulo Coelho In the process of Pathwalking, we all encounter people who are unsupportive of our effort.  But sometimes that goes even further.  Sometimes they are determined to show us that our path is wrong. This is ultimately more disheartening than a lack of support.  Having someone actively taking the time and effort to show you that your own

What makes a person deviate from the path they are walking?  How does a person who has been walking a very good life path wreck that path to the point where the path no longer exists and no other path can be started? I was asked these questions in response to a previous post, and believe that it bears its own entry in the Pathwalking series, and a more in-depth analysis. What makes a person deviate from the path they

Even when walking a chosen path, you need to rest from time to time. Everyone needs to take a break.  We all need moments to rest the mind, and to relax and simply be. Pathwalking can still be stressful.  Certainly by design less stressful than an everyday life, but stress still exists.  Pathwalking is about taking action, and action, even action we desire to take, can still have a toll on us. And so, from time to time, you need

How do you get back to the path if you have begun to backtrack, and why is that important? As mentioned previously, if you have chosen to walk your path, you have chosen to accept control over change.  You are choosing how you will live your life, and as such how you make changes.  Pathwalking is active, and proactive.  Backtracking is reacting, and thus opposite. The difficulties you have encountered along the path have made you backtrack.  You have leaped
