The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Change is opportunity. Since change is inevitable, and we can choose to embrace change or not, we get to decide if it is bad luck…or an opportunity. How does this work? Change is opportunity because it is a chance for something new and different. It might be a fresh start, it might be a shift, great or small, that can be used to take on a new direction or do different things. I believe that if more people saw change
Embracing change, rather than resisting it, serves us best. Nobody denies that change is scary. Humans seek comfort, be it in our homes, relationships, clothing, foods we consume, and so forth. There is a certain level of comfort in the familiar. As such, when that which we are used to changes, it can be extremely disconcerting. Like it or not, change will occur. That is the nature of the universe. Change is a constant. Embracing change, therefore, will smooth any
Sometimes you need a change of scenery. This can be a tiny shift, or it can be rather immense, depending on the time and situation. A change of scenery, however slight, can go a long ways towards building Positivity. Clean off your desk, rearrange your furniture, change out your décor, change your body wash, look at some digital images you have on your computer or phone or online. Reposition and move about the small things around you that you can.
Do not be silent when you need to shout. See atrocities happening? Feel angry, distressed, disturbed, incensed? Make your voice be heard, and tell them this will not stand. We are being bombarded by almost surreal amounts of negativity. There are some pretty terrible things happening out there, and they cannot be ignored. No matter how much we try to stay away from all this bad news, it is impossible not to recognize the awful things that are happening. Hard
Discipline has never been my strength. For a long time now I have remarked about my frequent lack of discipline. While this is certainly something to take into consideration in regards to how I live my life, it is time to make another change. Consciousness creates reality. If I say I have no discipline, that’s an expression of how I feel, ergo…surprise surprise, no discipline. Like attracts like. When I can be disciplined to do a thing, I tend to
I’m tired of struggling with this feeling. Deep in the pit of my heart there is this ever-present sense of dread. It is utterly and completely fear-based, and no matter how often I address it in meditation, I can’t completely shake it. Why am I so fearful of this? What is it that I am afraid of? This is the question I have been asking myself as I have entered into my daily meditation for the last few days. What
Words matter. The words we say matter. But what matters more are the words we think. In especial, those we think frequently, and those we use in reference to ourselves. Most of us are thinking constantly. Hell, for a lot of us, the very notion of turning off our brains seems totally impossible. One of the reasons why meditation is so healthy is because when we meditate it’s one of the few times we can stop the chatter. However, since
Attachment is surprisingly persistent. What is attachment? Attachment is how we as human beings latch onto things. We become attached to our “people”, or jobs, our cars, our educations…and inevitably our identities themselves. The problem comes from being attached to a specific identity. If you are happy with who you are, here and now, then it’s not a big deal. If, however, you are seeking to make changes, then being attached to the identity you have for yourself in the
Be strong. I was having a perfectly good day. And then I read the news. That was not a good idea. How can I consciously create my own reality when I live in a world that’s so totally messed up? So, so many things happening out there that are appalling at best, then enraging, and terrifying. What’s the point? Why bother? Because I can effect change out there. I can do good things with my own life, and from there
Decisions are an important element for moving life forward. As Pathwalking involves choosing direction for one’s life, an absolutely necessary element of any choice is decision making. Making decisions can be terrifying for people. Why? Because many of us tend to overthink. We second guess, fear that if we choose wrong we, or someone we care about, might suffer. Or we might possibly miss out on something better. Deciding can be intimidating because it feels final. The finality of the
