The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Whose path is it anyway? It never ceases to amaze me how many people try to tell us what is right for us. How many people will tell you that their way is the way, and yours is not. It can be terribly disconcerting, and disheartening. Believe me when I tell you that nobody but you can choose the right path for you. There are numerous forces in the world that would far prefer you disempowered, and taking the path
It has been argued that there are no original ideas. I disagree. Why? Because each of us as individuals are completely original. Certainly we are the products of recycled genetics, but we are, none-the-less, original. I am the only me that there is. You are the only you in existence. Even if you are a twin, a triplet or an octuplet, you are original. One-of-a-kind. This is an amazingly positive idea. Because we are originals, we have something different to
How do I know if I am on the right path? I am actually pondering this question myself. I am feeling uncertain, and I am finding myself having a hard time with being in the here-and-now as I need to be. Let me share with you my own, personal path as I am walking it now. Today is February 4, 2015. I began the notion of Pathwalking three years ago in January 2012. When I started this concept I was
What brings a smile to your face? What memories, what images, what sounds, what smells, what touches, what thoughts will make you smile? What brings a smile to your face? These are the things we need to have at our disposal for when we are inundated by negativity. We need to have these tools available to us so that we can give ourselves an easy means to creating positivity instead. Some days it feels like a major struggle to invoke
What happens when you run out of choices? The truth is, you never run out of choices. However, sometimes a situation reaches a point where the options available to you all appear to be undesirable. We forget that we are currently the product of our past thoughts and actions. Who we are at this moment is directly related to who we have conjured ourselves to be. What does that mean? If, as I regularly posit, consciousness creates reality, then what
There are always choices. Sometimes they don’t seem to be ours, and sometimes they are hard to even get a good look at, but there are always choices available to us. No matter how bleak a situation may be, there will be choices available to change it. Some are surprisingly simple while others are immensely complicated. But they exist, none-the-less. People often become mesmerized by what they are told by outside influences. They are told there are limitations, they see
Disappointment happens. It is something we cannot avoid. When there is something we want or desire or have our hopes about – and that thing does not happen – disappointment occurs. This is a part of human nature. When we have our wants and desires denied us, we become displeased and we cannot help but feel disappointment. Yes, I have stated here rather frequently that you feel what you allow yourself to feel. I have also stated that you should
Community is an amazing concept. Community can mean so many things. It can be as small as your family and as large as the nation you call home. It can include an identifying factor which can help you explain to others how you view life and the world around you. But community is really all about those whom you are closest to. Community in the sense I write of here is the group of people who have your back, who
You are not the product of your environment. Not unless you choose to be. I get to choose who I am. I get to decide what kind of person I am, what kind of person I want to be. No matter my upbringing, the environment in which I live, the social circles in which I interact, I alone am wholly responsible for who I am and who I want to be. There are a lot of messages out there, often
It is good to learn when you are on the right track. When you have been working on a project, no matter if it is work related, personal or somewhere in between, there is nothing more positive than learning you are doing it right. There are so many things we strive to do every day. Some are ludicrously simple, while others are difficult and time consuming. But when we are hard at work on a given thing, and we are
