The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Laughter is the best medicine. It may be and old adage, it may be cliché, but that doesn’t make it any less true. Laughter is a fantastically powerful vehicle to positivity. It is nearly impossible to feel bad when you are laughing. Not entirely impossible, no, but nearly impossible. Laughter is a release akin to tears, but much more frequently a positive one. Something evoked a powerful response, and it made you laugh. Might be a joke. Maybe someone had
Some days the most positive thing is having the day before you. We all have days when we wake up from a poor night’s sleep, or we have that thing on our mind, or we have residual issues from the day before we know we cannot simply leave behind. That does not negate the positivity of simply being alive. I believe that we all frequently overlook the positivity in the simplest things in life. Things we just take for granted
Optimism is a good thing. I recently read a blog post by another author for whom I have a great deal of respect, and he was exploring how we have allowed pessimism and fatalism overcome reason. Like attracts like. If we want to be pessimistic about the future and all that it holds for us, likely this is what we are going to create for ourselves. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a bleak, dismal and unfortunate
While it is nice to have things, the reason for the having is far more important. The things we have, the possessions we own can be a source of good in many respects. And there will always be things we need versus things that we desire. Things can be a source of positivity, but it is not the thing itself that has that power. The material things we have generally fall into three categories. Things we need, like food, clothing,
A little kindness could change the whole world. With all the animosity, racism, sexism and outright hatred being shouted so loudly of late, we each need to do our part to show more kindness. This could change everything. I think it’s safe to say that we all want to live decent, comfortable, happy lives. I don’t know anyone who wants to struggle, or to be in a constant state of fear, or to be miserable. I think that some people
Tears, you may not realize, are a surprising tool for positivity. Whether tears are being shed in happiness or in joy, or in sorrow and sadness, they are still a tool for Positivity. Because tears cleanse. When you are so filled with joy that you could burst and you begin to cry, it is an experience of ultimate release. So powerful that you are overwhelmed, and so moved. When you are sorrowful or sad and you begin to cry, it
Albert Einstein said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This is so very simple. If you try the exact same thing time and again with no variations, you will get the same results. That’s a big part of what scientific testing is all about. Every single week I post Positivity. Is it insanity? No. Why? Because I am not doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I am
Everyday can be a holiday. That means that every day we can find something to celebrate. There are so many holidays out there that have very specific meanings. Beyond that, there are feast days for Saints every single day. So why do we only choose to celebrate on these specific days? Halloween, Presidents’ Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Arbor Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Barthdays…these are just some of the familiar holidays. Then there are more obscure ones like Talk like
I want to be happy. Don’t you? Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic idea? What do we have to do to feel happy? That’s the challenge we all face. In especial when we’re inundated with conflict and messages of exclusion and 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
Only once every four years do we get this extra day. There are so many things we can do with an extra day. It is an additional twenty-four hours of possibility, potential, opportunity and all manner of positive things. We are all obsessed in this society with time. Linear time in particular. Because we all have schedules for our days we are constantly chasing time. Time to get out of bed. Time to eat breakfast. Time to go to work.
