The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I believe that the key to happiness is living in the now. This is particularly challenging, because our society is rather fond of living in the then and living for tomorrow. I have goals and aspirations. One of the reasons I began this portion of my blog was to explore how to live and work in all the worlds I do. I need to cross between separate aspects of my life, different forms of writing, my social life and my
Like many things in life, health comes in three forms. Physical, mental, and spiritual. It is extremely important that there be balance between these forms. We frequently do not recognize this, and the price we pay is amazingly high. As I am striving to create the life I most want, I need to take more time in addressing these. Let’s start with the one I have down, I believe, the best. Spiritual. My spiritual health is good. I know who
Mind over matter. I am constantly seeking new and better ways to get control over my mental and emotional state. I know, from the ever-increasing number of books I have read on the subject, that to truly manifest anything I want, I have to absolutely focus on it, without fear or doubt. I have had success at this process a few times. I know why, I know how…and yet I struggle to succeed regularly. Why? Because I let my inner
I would like to take a different approach to my usual blogging, and request from you, dear reader, some feedback. Over the years I have written about striving to find greater positivity in the world, and discovering and walking one’s own path. This particular posting was created to explore more closely not just the journey, and how one can choose to take it, but more specifically MY journey. Crossing the Bridges is where I share with you my very personal
One of the reasons why this blog is titled “Crossing the Bridges” is because of the vastly different styles of writing I work with. I can, however, break down pretty much all of my work into three distinct styles/genres. These posts, as well as Pathwalking and Positivity, fall under what I refer to as self-help philosophy. My fantasy series, my Steampunk series and all my other imaginative works fall under fiction. Beyond that, there is the business related writing and
To cross any given bridge, you need to start by taking a step, literally and metaphorically. One of the reasons I began this particular blog post was to help me get my head screwed on straight, while I assess both where I am and where I want to be. Positivity is a specific topic, and far more general, and while Pathwalking is my life philosophy, it is also a more specific focal point. What neither address is the more personal
The New Year is frequently used as an opportunity to get a new start to things. Many people make resolutions, which amount to often grand plans for sweeping changes. Years ago, I decided that while resolutions are all well and good, they are soft, non-committal, and easily disregarded. This is why I started instead of creating New Year’s Resolutions, to take New Year’s Actions. I began to blog regularly five years ago, as a result of my 2012 New Year’s
I’m not feeling it today. I have attempted more than once to start this post, and every single start has stumbled. I get maybe an intro paragraph, and then can’t go forward. Why am I not feeling it today? Because I have gotten too caught up in outside influences. Because the madness of the world around me is interfering with my own thoughts and feelings, and I can neither shut it out nor replace it with something more useful, something
Change cannot be made without actions. That’s just the way the universe works. I can think it and feel it all I like…but unless I act upon it, it will not change. It will remain an idea, a plan, a possibility – but nothing more. Some actions are harder than others. Sometimes this is due to excuses, sometimes due to distractions, and sometimes just outright laziness on my part. I began, almost a year ago, to include a Goal Log
We all have comfort zones. We all have those places we retreat to or that we like to snuggle up in that are familiar, comfortable, expected. We have comfort zones in our lives where we can operate on auto-pilot, and get along. Of course, sometimes these comfort zones, while comfortable, are unsatisfactory. You can be in that relationship that does not thrill you, work that job that pays the bills but does not stimulate your mind, stay in that city
