Positivity: Mood Changers

Lots of different things can change your mood. As such, there are countless options to build more and greater positivity. I find that if I wake up stiff or sore, if the clouds in the sky feel oppressive, or if posts across social media are getting me down, I have a lot of different options to change my mood and to alter my feelings. What works for me might not work the same for you, but I think there are

Pathwalking 195

What am I afraid of? How come I constantly find myself uncertain, unsure and lost? Why can’t I break out of this pattern? I know how this goes, and yet I still find that I cannot get out of my own way. I am afraid I will disappoint. I am afraid of disapproval. I am afraid of letting people down. I am afraid to succeed. I am afraid to fail. Fear is the loudest message being broadcast to us. Every

Positivity: Endless Possibilities

The possibilities are endless. This phrase gets used and abused, but that does not make it any less true. Despite all the messages to the contrary, we live in an abundant universe. That means that the information we are often presented with of lack and limitation are incorrect. There are endless possibilities. What this translates to for everyone is that we can create all the good things we want. Yes, there are going to be bad days and yes bad

The Wrong Side of History

Dear haters, bigots, misogynists, and homophobes, Congratulations – you are on the wrong side of history. I am sorry to tell you that your hatred will not change public policy. Blacks, women, homosexuals, Hispanics, Hindis, Muslims, transgendered, fat and thin people and everyone else all will win equality, because that is what is right. There is no “gay agenda”, except maybe they want to be treated like everyone else. There is no Muslim world take-over conspiracy, the vast majority of

How do your beliefs effect the paths you are walking? Short answer – considerably. Long answer – what do you believe? First and foremost, this has NOTHING to do with religious, faith or spiritual beliefs. This is all about the specific beliefs we hold when it comes to ourselves, our lives, and our understanding of how the Universe works. What we believe is often tied into what we think we do and don’t know, and how we are feeling. Unfortunately,

Positivity: Escape the Insanity

We can step away from the insanity. Sometimes that’s what we should do. Step away. Turn it off. Tune it out. Despite the amazing interconnectivity of our world today, we still have the ability to get away from it. We can ignore social media, we can avoid the news, and we can find things that make us feel good instead. Let’s just admit that there is a whole lot of crazy out there. We are inundated with things that upset,

Why have you chosen the path you are on? Whether or not you are consciously Pathwalking, why have you chosen whatever path you are on? This is a surprisingly important question that all-too-often gets waylaid. We know there are paths we want to walk in life, but why do we want to walk them? Pathwalking is about choosing your own destiny. It is about taking control over your life and finding what makes you happy. Because, when all is said

Positivity: Labor Day

Today in the United States is Labor Day. The most positive thing about this day is the victory achieved that made it so that there are no more sweat shops in this nation, so that we have protections about getting breaks during the work day, and other privileges we often take for granted. Many people’s sacrifices and struggles and hard work made this day possible, and that is a positive thing. Fighting for something good that you believe in is

Equal Rights and Religious Freedom

The United States of America is NOT, repeat, NOT a Christian Country. Period. End of discussion. Further, please correct me if I am mistaken, but didn’t Jesus preach equality? From the low to the high, all are children of God and should be respected as such? Who do you think you are claiming your hatred, your bigotry, your discrimination, or your misogyny is in the name of God? Let’s discuss another absolute fact. There is no war against Christianity in

Today is my birthday. My birthday is my personal New Year’s Day. So what? What does that have to do with Pathwalking? If this is the start of a new year, then it is the perfect opportunity to set new actions to take. I have written before that I do not believe in New Year’s resolutions, but rather New Year’s actions. Resolving is a passive concept, while taking action is direct. It is through one of my first new year’s
