The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I offer you my support. I am fortunate to never have been sexually harassed or assaulted. But I know a tremendous number of people who have been. I believe you, and offer you my support. We are all in this world together. Every single one of us wants to live the best possible life we can. And yet, there are people who do not think about how their actions effect others. Some of it is simple thoughtlessness, some a matter
The people who become our persons in this life can be an amazing source of Positivity. If, like me, you find that overall people make you crazy, you understand this distinction. What it boils down to is those who we get close to in various ways are persons, as opposed to those who are the faceless masses we refer to as people. People in this sense tend to drive us nuts. They cut you off on the road, they elect
You woke up today. That is tremendously positive. You have air in your lungs. Your heart is beating. You have thoughts in your head. These are all filled with positive energy. You are reading these words on a computer, tablet or phone. The positivity of that is impressive. It is very easy to forget that the positive exists in the smallest, most trivial things in our lives. Just being alive and living every day is immeasurably positive. I know that
If you are reading this, you probably have freedom. Freedom means a great deal. In the USA, freedom means the right to gather peacefully, to protest injustice, to love whom we choose, to worship as we wish, to express ourselves, and more. The positivity of this is immeasurable. However, there are things we are going to see in a free country that we do not approve of. White supremacists and neo-Nazis waving flags and taking to the streets is not
Never neglect doing things that are fun. When I was between 11 and 14, I went to overnight camps in upstate New York. Sometimes we would take hiking treks offsite. On two or three occasions, we went hiking at a place called Kaaterskill Falls. I absolutely loved this hike. The falls are in two levels, the middle level having a clear pool one can swim in, and a natural amphitheater behind the falls. This was one of the hiking adventures
Your people are a huge contributor to positivity. There is a difference between people, and YOUR people. People in the general sense of the world, like the population of the planet, can be utterly infuriating. But YOUR people are those whom you hold close. Your confidants, family, friends and loved ones. We all have individuals that improve our lives. Members of the human race that help us find calm, find happiness and peace and joy. There is someone out there
Ignorance may be bliss, but education is empowerment. The more we learn, the more we become capable of. The more abilities we develop, the more skills we hone, the abler we are to change the world for the better. One of the failings of many of our leaders is their desire to keep us ignorant. It’s a matter of their retention of control to keep us reliant on them for our understanding of certain matters. Rather than empower, they prefer
You are awesome. Yes, I am talking to YOU. We are not told frequently enough how incredible we are. You are awesome. For real, you are an amazing, incredible person, and you have a lot to offer to this world. Self-doubt has the unfortunate power of stopping us from becoming what we want to be. Some of the doubt is due to outside influences, but the majority is on each and every one of us. We are our own worst
Your hate is not more powerful than our humanity. That was the message delivered soundly in Boston this past weekend. The protesters from the alt-right, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups were exponentially outnumbered by the counter-protesters. People standing for unity, for equality, and peace proved they were much, much stronger than haters. The positivity of this act is immeasurable. In a time when the fear in our society has been growing continuously, to witness empowerment on that scale
Restoring Positivity can be challenging. Here in the United States, we have recently been inundated by messages of hatred, intolerance, bigotry and worse. Active hate groups are feeling empowered by certain elements of our government, and have been spewing their venom unabashedly. Hard to feel positive in the face of this. And yet, Positivity is the key to overcoming the hate. Here are five questions which will help us to restore our Positivity when we are feeling powerless, sad, angry,
