The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
We all get one life experience each in these bodies. What are you doing with yours? Like it or not – we have a finite time in this existence. The finite meat popsicles we call our bodies are the vessels that house our infinite souls. The substance may be eternal – but the vessels are not. Are we here just for basic subsistence? Or is there more to this life experience than that? I believe that we’re here for more
Believing that you’ve got this is the first step to handling everything we experience. Sometimes the day begins with you waking up excited, anticipating good things to come, and feeling rested. Other times, you begin the day with dread, not looking at all forward to what you have on your plate. Most often, at least in my experience, you probably begin your day groggy, maybe a little achy, uncertain, and unsure of just what lies ahead for you. The first
Rethinking is vital to self-awareness, change, and life overall. It’s also applicable to positivity. On Monday, February 4 of 2014, I saw something that distressed me. Across social media – Facebook and Twitter specifically – negativity. Lots, and lots of negativity. People were seemingly just miserable. Lamenting the start of the workweek, stressing out about deadlines and expectations, and utterly unhappy and negative overall. That got me thinking. What, if anything, can I do to help? Is there some way
I get to decide if today will be like yesterday – or not. Every single day I get to make new choices. I’m not talking about what to eat, what to wear, or those types of choices. I’m talking about how to think, feel, and act. Every. Single. Day. But that doesn’t mean I consciously, actively make choices. Often, I just go with the flow, follow my routines, and let shit happen as it will. That’s also a choice. Albeit
“There’s no time like the present” is a genuine, empowering understanding of the reality of time. Proverb, adage, whatever you call it – you’ve likely heard or read the phrase “there’s no time like the present” at some point. It may seem trite – but it’s quite powerful. Because of the complexities of human thought, we can get lost in ruminations of the past and plotting notions for the future. In truth, we can get so caught up in past
Sometimes release is necessary to clear your mind, heart, and soul. I have a lot of things going on in my head right now that are negatively impacting my life. They are making me feel small, disempowered, irked, flustered, and other sometimes conflicting adjectives I could apply. I strive to act regularly so that I don’t wind up holding back and holding things in. I learned a long time ago that holding stuff in leads to a lot of different
Recognizing and acknowledging knowing what you don’t know is incredibly freeing. I love to learn. One of the things that keeps me optimistic overall is that I know that there is always something new to be learned. More information to be found. New ideas to experience. Yes, there are things that I could learn that have I zero interest in. There are things that I’m happy to have just passing knowledge of. For most of my life, I have loved
Practical positivity is more about approach than anything else. It is way too easy, currently, to see the world as being on fire. The news media is all about doom and gloom – because that sells. And so, we’re inundated and bombarded by an onslaught of negative, bad news. Take your pick – partisan politics, the situation in the Ukraine, COVID, Brexit, teacher and care-worker shortages, supply-chain issues, and more. None of this is pleasant. For a long time now,
I’m realizing that more space exists between than at the extremes on either end. As an avid reader who enjoys nonfiction as much as fiction – I love to learn new things. A lot of what I read is along the lines of my writing – positivity, conscious reality creation, mindfulness, and the like. As such, I’ve read through lots of different people from all sorts of variable backgrounds and their ideas and practices. Though I’ve long been a practitioner,
Yes, I might be wrong about positivity empowering people. If I am, I’m open to learning how and why. One Monday morning, in February 2014, I logged into Facebook. I was immediately bombarded by similar messages. Today is going to suck. I hate Mondays. What fresh fuckery will I deal with this week? Back to the terrible grind. And similar negative messages. Wow, I thought. So much negativity. I wonder what I can do about that? Thus began my Monday
