The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Life is always in motion. You will find that even when you are idle, things progress. The world is never perfectly still, life never actually comes to a stop. We are always moving along. Humans have an astounding number of choices for how our lives can be lived. The rest of the animal kingdom of this world pretty much lives for survival, but we do so very much more than merely survive. We are builders and destroyers, creators and evaluators
Letting go of things that do not serve you is immensely positive. I try very hard to let go of things that make me angry, or upset, or just generally unhappy. I find that if I dwell on things, if I hold onto negativity it becomes unbelievably hard to let go of. We all have situations that make us unhappy. We all have bad days, we all deal with people we would rather not deal with. It is completely unavoidable.
Freedom is a wonderful thing. Freedom means you and you alone get to choose the life you want. You can work a job of your choosing, have the relationship you want, be with the people you prefer, find and experience life in whatever way makes you happiest. Many of us take freedom for granted. We get caught up in the day to day things that often feel as though they take away our freedom. We have jobs, other people counting
Words matter. It’s not simply what you say, it’s the thoughts behind the words, it’s the intent behind the words, it’s the feelings that words invoke. Words can make us and break us, they can inspire us or upset us. Words matter. When the words that you use regularly are negative it probably comes as no surprise that the result of this is more negativity. The dialogue I choose is going to effect the outcome of any conversation, whether internal
The world needs more positivity. Because, that’s why. When we all have more positivity in our lives, we all feel better. Feeling good is pretty much the main driving force for everyone for everything. This whole positivity thing does not need to be complex. It can be insanely simple. Things like dogs and cats, sunshine, interestingly shaped clouds, a cup of coffee, a small child, laughter, the feel of grass or sand between your toes. Find and give thought to
Sometimes you just need to take a break from your regular life to find more Positivity. While it is possible to discover things to be positive about in my day to day life, there is something to be said for getting away from it all. Sometimes you do this with a known escape. You choose an activity or a familiar place that is an escape from the everyday, yet still something that makes you feel good. Sometimes you do something
What does negativity get us? Think about it a moment. Looking at the world as a desolate, distressing, dark and unhappy place feels awful. Focusing on corruption and greed and acts of violence and intolerance and hatred is disturbing. So why do we do it? You cannot focus on undoing a thing once it has come into being. But that’s exactly what we do. We focus on the things we don’t want, we focus on how to stop them…and yet
Pure, unadulterated joy. Don’t you love that feeling? The freedom, the release, the positivity? That feeling of comfort and warmth and bliss that makes you smile and remember what it is to be alive? We are so inundated with dread, with fear, with anger and hatred and division and harsh reality. We are constantly being subjected to grim news and intolerance and denial of joy. We are slaves to community, to jobs and finances and responsibilities that rob us of
I understand you. We all want to be understood. We all want people to “get” us. That is how we find our friends and lovers and other companions in this world. They simply understand. Maybe not the whole picture, of course. Very few people ever get the total and complete knowledge of a person. We are all complicated, multi-faceted, diverse beings, but for all that we still all want to find people who understand us. I understand you. Even though
You are worthy of praise and love and understanding. I may not know you, but I can assure you that you do in fact deserve to have good things. You deserve to be happy, you deserve to be at peace, you deserve to be recognized and acknowledged for everything you do. You are going to have bad days. We all do. But despite that, you are worthwhile, and I am here to validate your extreme awesomeness. I know that you
