The Ramblings of the Titanium Don

Positivity: Meditation

Meditation can do a lot of good. We live in a world of almost endless noise.  Everywhere we turn we are inundated with information, with calls for help, action, and choices to be made.  People often can’t just be content with the sounds of nature and carry music or employ some other distraction.  Noise everywhere. Mediation is often misunderstood.  The word alone, for many, conjures images of people sitting cross-legged, palms up, chanting “Om” repeatedly.  This is a valid form

Positivity: An Amazing time to be Alive

We live in an amazing time. We have the technology to communicate across the globe instantly.  We have miniature computers we carry around on our persons that began life as portable cellular telephones.  We have cars that can stop themselves, and are equipped with cameras and indicators for blindspots.  We have produce year-round from every climate in our grocery stores. Right now we are being bombarded by fear of all the change that this technology represents.  There are people who

Pathwalking 238

My path is good for me, but probably not for you.  As we are not in competition, I would be happy to help you along your path in whatever way I can. Competition is a fine thing in certain respects.  My baseball team versus your team, track stars running for the best time, fencers fighting to best one another, and for that matter most competitive sports.  Competition in the everyday, for the most part, is unhealthy. This is not just

Positivity: Fun

Everybody wants to have fun. What I consider fun you might not, and what you consider fun I might not. But so long as my fun does not interfere with your fun, and vice versa, what’s wrong with anything we are doing in the name of fun? Yes, of course there are exceptions to this.  If you find fun in doing things that hurt other people, or humiliate them, or otherwise hinders their life, that’s not cool.  Fun at the

Pathwalking 237

Everyone is familiar with the phrases quitters never win and winners never quit.  However, I think everyone also knows this is not always the truth. There are numerous things that need to be quit.  Plenty of less-than-stellar habits like smoking, excess drinking, overeating, being overly judgmental and such.  There are other behaviors that one might consider quitting, like always talking over others, low self-opinion, inactivity and such. What is the relation of quitting to Pathwalking?  Accepting that, sometimes, you need

Positivity: Celebrate our Similarities

We should celebrate our sameness more. The things that make us all similar, our basic humanity and our universal desires for love and happiness, are not something to be ignored.  These things that we all share are amazing, and we should celebrate them. We need to deemphasize our differences and the things that divide us, and make a bigger deal about our commonalities.  There is tremendous positivity in unity and in our sameness. We put too great importance on physical
