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

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

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
Why do we seem so much better at expressing negativity than positivity? This question has been on my mind for a while now, and is part of why I began my other weekly posts about Positivity. Almost every Monday I’d open up Facebook or Twitter and the first thing I would see is complaints. Weekend’s over, here we go again, another toilsome workweek, fun’s over, and so on. Heaps of negativity, enough to undo any good the weekend might have
Everyone desires independence. Certainly there are times when having someone else to make decisions for you might be appealing, but overall I cannot think of anyone who doesn’t want independence. Today is Independence Day in the United States. While this is a national holiday celebrating our declaration of independence from Great Britain two-hundred and forty years ago, the concept of independence is far broader. All of us, as individuals, are independent of thought, of action, and of feeling. No one
In the now we are in control of our own feelings, thoughts and actions. Right now, at this very moment, I can choose how I want to feel. I get to choose if I want to worry about future events or reminisce about past events. I get to choose, right now, what I want to think about. I choose my actions at this moment. Society obsesses with both the past and the future. We think of the past that times
Welcome to another Monday. Yes, the weekend is over. How do you choose to face the work week? This is so much more within our control than we realize. Since we are each in control of our own emotional state, as such we each get to choose how we will face the day, and that can totally set the tone for how we face the coming week. I know some of the arguments that can made against this perspective. It’s
Love is the ultimate expression of positivity. We live in a world where love often takes a back seat to fear, to ignorance, to terror, to shame, and ultimately to hate. Yet love is something every single one of us needs, to the same degree as we need air and food and water. Love is often made out to be this grandiose, monstrous thing, often hard to come by, hard to keep, and hard to maintain. Nothing could be further
