How is Attachment Persistent?

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

Is It Beneficial To Be Optimistic?

Keeping an optimistic outlook is anything but a weakness. In today’s society, we have a lot of ugly, unpleasant things that get our attention.  Further, we are frequently told that it is important that we “be realistic”, and keep low expectations.  Keep your head down, go to work, do the things, go home. Dreamers are often scorned or shunned for believing that there is more to this life.  We frequently look at people with a sunny disposition or optimistic outlook

How Can Anticipation Serve You?

Anticipation can be a double-edged sword. One the one hand, it can be exciting, full of thrill and unknown wonder.  On the other hand, it can be nerve-wracking, full of dread and unknown horror. Anticipation is an emotional response to a situation ahead of us.  As such, like all the other emotions we can feel, we can determine HOW this will feel. Pathwalking is about choosing for ourselves our own, individual way.  It is living life to the fullest, making

How is Purpose the Same as Intent?

Action with intent or purpose is far more powerful than action for the sake of itself. Consciousness creates reality.  In order to use this to manifest the end goal or desire, we need to think, feel, and then take intentional action.  I have spent a lot of time writing about thought and feeling, but less on action. Action needs to have intent.  It needs to be done with a purpose in mind.  Action simply to complete the trifecta with thought

How Does Giving Create Positivity?

Giving is an amazing force for Positivity. Some people go through this life and make accommodations for others, take time to help people in a myriad of ways, and do things for people without a second thought.  They are people who give time, energy and more, so that others may benefit.  They don’t even consider what they do to be giving. Giving is a powerful tool.  We have an amazing capacity to give on an incredible number of levels.  We

How Does Being Aware Take Me Across The Bridges?

For me, being aware of my mindset, mindful of what I am thinking and feeling, is the key to creating what I truly desire from this life. Conscious reality creation is the ultimate gift humankind has.  The other animals on this planet, no matter how intelligent they may be, don’t have the same capacity to create as we do.  We are the only animals that can build tools to allow us to travel anywhere across the globe, infinitely expand our

Is This Writer’s Block?

Not sure if I am dealing with writer’s block, or just simply having issues creating a topic today. Writer’s block can take on many different forms.  Sometimes it’s just a lack of ideas.  Other times a lack of inspiration.  From time to time, it’s a lack of motivation.  Certainly it can be a combination of all of the above, too. For me, there are times I just get distracted.  Might be a useful distraction, or it might be nothing but

Will Your Path Make You Happy?

What is important to me is that I live a good life, and am happy more often than not. We all have different priorities.  Nobody’s emotions are exactly the same.  While we may give our emotions the same names, odds are how they feel to each of us differs. Taking that another step, what makes me happy is going to be different from what makes you happy.  Not just because of how it may feel differently to each of us,

What Do You Take-Away From This?

What you take-away from a less-than-desirable situation is important.  Seeing the good you learned from the bad is the key to this. We all have bad experiences.  There are going to be things that happen that are infuriating, complicated, difficult and unpleasant.  Life cannot always be perfect.  Frankly, if it was, I think we’d all get really really bored of it. When bad things happen – and they will – what you take away from them is important.  If you

Why the “How” of things trips me up.

Why does the “how” of it all continue to get in my way? Two weeks ago I discussed the block I encounter between idea and end goal.  I want to be a bestselling author.  The “how” of the process is what keeps tripping me up, and I think it’s time to dig deeper into why that is. Conscious reality creation works.  I’ve done it many times, and I intellectually understand it.  One of my greatest issues, though, is emotions, which
