What Decisions Are You Making?

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

How Does Decision Empower?

Decision has not always been my strong suit. I have been notorious for being indecisive.  Well, maybe occasionally I fail to make decisions.  Or, maybe I agonize over decisions, and consequently choose not to choose anything, or… So there’s that.  Lately, though, I have been working on doing better with making choices and deciding things for my life. For example, with the move we are making, many things have been discarded.  Do I need this?  If the answer has been

How Do I Interfere With My Path?

There are always things which will interfere with your chosen path. Many of these things are beyond our control.  I can’t do anything about current government stupidity, hurricanes, foreign wars, and the overall negative attitude of other people.  Yes, I can write letters to the leadership, support hurricane relief funds, and take other proactive actions.  However, it’s important to recognize that this is limited, and needs to be proactive rather than reactive. Why proactive?  Because if we are constantly reacting

What Do I Choose?

What I choose is what is best for me. Nobody but me can choose what I want for my life.  Why?  Because there is nobody else inside my head. People question people’s life choices all the time.  I don’t know if it’s a schadenfreude thing, or a judgement thing, or something else.  We talk about it all the time, and we frequently discuss how we might have chosen differently, or comment about disagreeing with choices that have been made. It’s

How Joy Empowers Us

Living in joy is the ultimate goal. I don’t want to spend my time at a desk, working for someone I might not entirely respect, doing something that bores me.  Life is just too short for that.  Rather, I want to do something that makes me happy. Have you ever been told that “You have to work for a living” or “you gotta do what you gotta do” or “you have to make ends meet” or similar?  Likely, I suspect

How Does Self-Doubt Impact You?

Self-doubt and indecision will complicate Pathwalking. I strive to be less doubtful about who I am, and to do better with making decisions about my life.  Pathwalking is about choosing for myself, rather than letting random chance just happen. Yet I still question if I am deserving of this.  I doubt myself, my abilities to do the things I want to do.  This in turn can make me indecisive, and I get stuck in uncertainty. Self-doubt comes from many places. 

What do I want from my Reality?

What do I want? I have been asking this question of myself for most of my adult life.  It is both the single most basic question I can ask, as well as massively loaded.  This is a question that can be rooted in the past, awareness in the present, or looking to the future, which complicates things further. One of the more complex issues I encounter with this question has long been its opposite.  I was less sure of what

Why “To Decide” is Very Important to Crossing the Bridges of Life

If I don’t bother to decide, I leave my fate up to my subconscious. Sure, I could blame outside influences or circumstances or what-have-you.  But the truth is that when I don’t make conscious decisions, my subconscious is driving the bus. This can be a particularly complicated concept to grasp.  Probably the biggest reason why is because we live in a society that lacks accountability. Our government is the perfect example of this fact.  At almost every level, nobody takes

What Will be the Rewards and Consequences of my Decisions?

Conscious reality creation takes place in the now. We cannot undo the past, and as Yoda says, “Always in motion is the future.”  The only part of reality we truly control is the present. This week has marked several changes on my part.  All of them involved decisions.  One was in regards to changing this blog for its growth, one will close a long-standing issue I’ve spent more than half-a-decade trying to resolve.  In both instances I had to make

What do you do when the path gets scary?

Walking along the path of your choosing can sometimes be scary. This is frequently because in choosing your own path in life, you will incur both internal and external criticism.  The internal is the result from when you step out of your comfort zone; the external is the reaction you get from those around you as you break from the accepted norm. Pathwalking is about choice.  It is about consciously creating our own reality, and seeking out our own destiny.
