Discipline for some does not come easily. I have always had issues with disciplining myself. Whether it was my diet, my writing and editing time or anything else requiring focus and attention – I have regularly found it challenging to hold to what needs to happen to get where I want to go. I have made a lot of effort in this department to address this problem. Acknowledging my lack of discipline is the first step, but admittedly there have

Positivity: Anticipation

Anticipation can be exciting. I am, for those of you who don’t know me, a huge fan of the Star Wars universe. This week Episode VII will be released. I cannot begin to express just how excited I am to be seeing this movie in a few days! The anticipation is nearly tangible. I feel positive, I feel excited, I feel a sense of joy akin to some of my best childhood memories. No matter what the thing that causes

Sometimes you might be wrong. Every choice we make will produce an effect of some sort. While we desire a good effect or a successful outcome – from time to time we won’t get it. This is a perfectly normal and ok thing. Everybody makes mistakes. The key is what do you do with your mistakes? Some people plod through. They continue along that path, despite its obvious problems. Tenacity can be a good thing, but it can also be

Positivity: Little Things

Little things matter. When the big picture is scary and undesirable, it is easy to neglect the small stuff, the little things in life that make it what it is. Some of these things are tangible, some are not. The importance of them is of a magnitude we easily forget and do not recognize the significance of. Why do little things matter? Because the big things do not evolve out of a vacuum. They begin as little things and grow.

Giving is not necessarily a physical thing. Giving can certainly involve things. But I find that the intangibles we give are often far more powerful than the tangibles. We give of our time, we give from our hearts, we give advice, we give opinions. All of these intangibles can carry a lot of weight. Giving is important to Pathwalking because it is a part of our living in an abundant universe. The ability to give is a sign that we

Positivity: Your Potential

You have more potential than you realize. I have no doubt you have seen this somewhere before. I think every single self-help concept in existence makes this particular statement. All the new-age teachers and concepts like The Secret and The Law of Attraction say it. This does not make it any less true. This applies to everyone. It is a simple fact. Some days it is just harder to see and recognize and acknowledge than other days. We live in

Consider reality. What we call reality is not the same for everyone. We might believe that it is, but in truth it’s really not. My reality is nothing like yours, or his, or hers, or anyone else’s, really. Even those we are closest to do not share our reality. Oh unquestionably they intersect, but that doesn’t make them the same. Let’s take Thanksgiving for example. For some this is a day where family comes together and eats much tasty food.

Positivity: Compassion

Compassion is something we all crave. We want the people around us to take our hopes and dreams into account in their actions as much as we might consider theirs in ours. What is compassion? Dictionary.com defines it thus: A feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. When we see people suffering we want to step up and help them. We want to do what we can to better their lot, because that is what we would want them to do for us. Compassion is

As I walk my own path, I do not do so ignoring the paths of others. My path is unique, as is yours, his, hers…everybody’s. However, no path is more important than another, and no one of us is any better than the rest. We are all equal, and we are all one. Society has become utterly obsessed with division. We are split along lines of gender, or sexual orientation, or rich and poor, black and white…take your pick. Scientifically,

Positivity: Build Peace

Positivity is a key to peace. Chaos, disorder, negativity are the weapons terrorists employ. They work to make us fear those who are different from us, to change who we are and what we do, they use terror and fear to sew doubt, discord and disharmony in the world. Peace is possible. When we think, feel and take inspired action to create positivity we keep the fear and terror at bay, and as such we build for ourselves a better
