How Can Anger Generate Positivity and Empowerment?

Recognize, acknowledge, choose, and do. Despite the many flaws and awful dialogue in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Yoda utters one extremely deep and useful nugget of wisdom. “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” Just about everything you do is inadvertently checked by our fear-based society. The bombardment of messages telling you to fear this, fear that, be afraid of them, and on and on, quickly overwhelms you. Much of that fear targets your

How Do You Respond to Upsetting, Annoying, and Disappointing Things That Happen?

Not the initial, visceral response, but what you do next. I’m about to publish my first new book in 2 years. This is super exciting because this book is the conclusion to the series I’ve been working on since 2015. Saturday morning, before departing for an all-day event 2 hours away, I checked my email. The eBook variation – available for pre-order – had been canceled. WTAF? They claim I didn’t upload the final file in time. But I’m completely

Can You Know Too Much?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   It is good to gain knowledge.  But is there a line between knowing, and when you know too much? Previously I wrote about the topic of knowing.  As I opined there, the key to knowing is to recognize that for the most part, we know far less than we think. So if that is the case, is it even possible to know too much?  And if so,

How Does Appreciation Empower Us?

Appreciation appreciates. Everybody likes to be appreciated.  Being thanked in whatever form it takes goes a long ways towards feeling good and generating positivity. Receiving appreciation is huge.  Expressing appreciation is even more ginormous. We live in an abundant universe.  Lack and scarcity are manmade concepts, used to disempower the masses, and keep the collective consciousness controlled by a small group of individuals.  Every single one of us has the power to create amazing lives where we will not lack

Are You Kind?

Be kind to yourself.  Give kindness to others. I am sitting here this morning, trying to come up with words for this post, and I have been doing my usual routine.  I go to Facebook, I play a couple games, and I read through a bunch of posts. There are a lot of discouraging things going on out there.  So much anger, so much fear, such unbelievable negativity.  Is this really the world we want to live in? I don’t

How Does Loss Effect You?

Loss is a part of Pathwalking. Because life is ever changing, and because we are not static creatures, we will experience losses along our paths.  Some are good for us, some less so.  The hardest loss to take is that of a friend or loved one. When we lose people, grief is different for every one of us.  In a society where we often look at the “norms”, how we grieve is one of those things that no two people

How do you recognize if you’re walking the right Path?

How do I know if I am on the right path? This is probably the most basic, yet most challenging question to ask.  The answer is both amazingly simple, and yet fairly complicated. Pathwalking is making choices about living life, in order to work to consciously create our personal reality as we want it to be.  Rather than simply going along with life and letting whatever happens, happen; as we walk our chosen paths we strive to be present and

What are challenges vs struggles with Pathwalking?

Pathwalking can be fraught with many challenges. I long ago came to believe that nothing worth having is ever easy.  But there is a difference between challenge and struggle.  Challenge involves growth and proactive change, while struggle is stagnation and reactive change.  Challenge is deciding to change, while struggle is forced. Many of the challenges in Pathwalking are due to outside influences, some which we can control and some which we cannot.  Recognizing this is the first step towards working

Why Walk Your Own Path? You Control More Than You Think

You are in control of more than you believe yourself to be. This can be a particularly difficult concept to believe, but that doesn’t lessen the truth of it.  You are in control over how you think, how you feel, and how you act. I know that sometimes it feels like that control is really, really limited.  Truth is, however, that the only limitations are those that you yourself place.  Otherwise, you have far more power and capability to change

Pathwalking 281 – Intention

Intention is the reality of control. When you take an intentional action, you have a purpose, and are not just doing some thing for the sake of doing the thing.  Intent means there is a plan to gain something from the action taken. I have been writing more or less since I began Pathwalking that one of the main reasons to walk one’s own path is to take control of your own destiny.  I want to create a unique, interesting
