The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
This day is the same, but different from yesterday. Despite their similarities, no two days are exactly alike. No two people are alike. Each and every one of us feels things differently. No matter what the subject, it may feel as if it is the same, but it’s different. It is very easy to fall into routines. We human beings are enormous fans of things being unchanging, and familiar. But as I have been writing a lot lately, change is
Do you do things that you desire to do? It is all too easy to do things for other people, and to do things that are “expected” of us, and ignore what we desire for ourselves. Some of these desires are little things, like sitting down to read a book; eating ice cream; watching a video; taking a walk; playing a game; and so on. Then there are the desires to do big things, like take a vacation; start a
Comfort zones are both comforting, and comfortable. It is within our comfort zones that we know what to expect. They are familiarity, they are the known. A comfort zone is like a luxurious down blanket, soothing and warming. Nobody likes to step out of their comfort zones. The unknown is outside of them, and the unknown can be intimidating, scary, unexpected, and downright terrifying. So it should come as no surprise that the only way to truly grow in this
Standing up for what is right is not always the easiest choice. But it is still a good choice. In the medieval reenactment game I have been playing for almost 27 years now, there is currently a leader, a “King”, who has been openly racist, and continually taking inappropriate actions regularly. In a society where most of the people I know are open, welcoming, and otherwise decent to one another, this is a terrible disappointment. A friend of mine took
Everybody needs a chance to hit the reset button. Whether it is merely for a few minutes, a night, or an extended vacation, hitting the reset button is essential to our wellbeing. We might have things that need to be done on a regular basis, but we still need to rest and relax from time to time. That is what it means to hit the reset button. Despite negative connotations in the idea of rest and relaxation, such as slacking
Sometimes you need a change of scenery. This can be a tiny shift, or it can be rather immense, depending on the time and situation. A change of scenery, however slight, can go a long ways towards building Positivity. Clean off your desk, rearrange your furniture, change out your décor, change your body wash, look at some digital images you have on your computer or phone or online. Reposition and move about the small things around you that you can.
Let’s be happy. Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic idea? What do we have to do to be happy? That’s the challenge we all face. In especial when we’re inundated with lack, scarcity, and messages of exclusion, hate, and fear. Hard to find happy when there are so many messages that are the opposite. It is time to take back our power and do what it takes to be happy. It might be something grand, like taking a vacation or
There is more than enough for everyone. We live in an abundant universe. There are more than enough resources, opportunities, companions, friends and lovers for everyone. Material or immaterial, there is more than enough. Money, cars, homes, food, clothing, joy, love, essentials and non-essentials, there is more than enough. The biggest lie we are fed by those enjoying the illusion of being in power is that we do not have enough. They use fear of a lack, scarcity, and an
“Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter.” – Yoda. Sure, this quote comes from a small green Muppet in an epic sci-fi story…but that does not lessen the truth of the statement. At our core we are beings of pure energy. The meat popsicles we see running around the planet are not who we are when all is said and done. Why does this matter? Because we are beings of pure energy, rather than these bodies we present
Power is an illusion. Most of those who are “in power” have either assumed it, been granted it, or otherwise had it conferred upon them in some form or other. Yet in reality, it is not real. The idea of power is what generates it, and it is a complete and utter intangible. There is a difference between power and empowerment. Empowerment may also be intangible, but it is feeling. Because it involves feeling, it carries with it a greater
