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
What is backtracking, and why is it the opposite of Pathwalking? I have said before that the path is not always straight, will turn, twist, double back on itself. Doubling back might imply backtracking, but that is not the case. This notion of backtracking is making a leap from where you are on the path now to a previous point. I’m not talking about switching from one path to another, I am talking about taking a pronounced leap backwards, to
Everyone wants to see results for their effort. We all want to know that we are succeeding in our goals. We are inundated with phrases like “results driven” and “results oriented” in job descriptions. No matter what we do, the results are important to us. Just to add a little fuel to that fire, we are a quick-fix, instant gratification, get it NOW society. We want to see it happen AS SOON as possible. Tomorrow is not good enough, we
I want to be a better person. Yes, I want to be a better son, better boyfriend, better friend, better worker, better person in the eyes of society. But in order to achieve that, I need to do right by myself. Why do I want to be a better person? Because while the person I am is pretty awesome, there is still room for improvement. And in becoming a better person, I will learn to love myself better. And not
I am. Two of the most powerful words anyone can utter. What follows them will help in building up the self. I am happy. I am strong. I am attractive. I am wise. I am worthy. Unfortunately, following “I am” with negatives is equally, if not sometimes more powerful. I am broke. I am angry. I am weak. I am fat. I am unworthy. All you have to do is read the news. All you have to do is read
Independence is one of the primary reasons to walk one’s own path. The best definition from Dictionary.com for independence is freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others. This is one of the main reasons to choose to walk our own path. We want to be free, we want to be independent, we want to ultimately be in control of our own fate, our own destiny. Sometimes winning that independence is easy. But sometimes it is
Thought + Feeling + Action = Pathwalking. But another important element in this equation – quite possibly the glue that binds it, in fact – is discipline. Last post, I explained my issues with feeling. Thought I have little problem with, but feeling is a whole other issue. It is time to discipline myself to work on feeling out my thoughts. Discipline, unfortunately, has never been my strong suit. Without discipline, accomplishing the act of walking one’s path, let alone
I am a thinker, not a feeler. I am all about thought, rather than emotion. And while, at times, this is advantageous – at times it really is not. It’s all well and good, in the process of this whole Pathwalking notion, to think about what I intend. But to really do it, to make it actually happen requires more than thought. It requires intent. It requires feeling. And that, for me, is the challenge. Feeling. I know a number
