The Ramblings of the Titanium Don

It never ceases to amaze me how readily I can lose my focus. For a while I can be a champion. I can successfully manifest what I want, no question, no difficulty, I can do it. I can see all the possibility, all the probability, all the reality of what I am capable of. I am amazed, excited, enthusiastic, and ready to tackle the world and everything that could possibly get in my way. And then it is gone. I

Positivity: Giving

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

Positivity is vitally important to Pathwalking. Last week I began to explore this, and discussed at length when you know you are feeling predominantly negative what you need to do. After you identify the what and how and why, and determine which aspects of these you have any control over, you proceed to find a way to change the emotion you are feeling. As I stated before, the means that works for dealing with this today may not work at

Positivity: Gratitude

Gratitude has the power to change the world. Lately I have seen many people online participating in sharing daily gratitude. There is nothing in the world quite so powerful as gratitude to build positivity. Expressing what you are grateful for is about as pure a positive act as you can create. Taking note of and stating the things you are grateful for is always positivity. Recognizing the good things you have in your life and giving thanks for them is

It is vitally important that you work on a positive attitude when Pathwalking. I have mentioned rather frequently that positivity is terribly important. If you do not remain positive, you might find yourself easily trapped in any number of undesired matters. Yet there are going to be days where remaining positive feels impossible. No matter what you do to restore your mindset, you just feel…off. You feel blue. This is particularly rough if, like me, you might be known to

Positivity: Education

School is about to start up again. While certainly some kids will miss the freedom of the summer, education is, we adults know, hugely positive. There is an incredibly infinite number of things to be learned in this world. There is information on every single topic, past present and future, to be gleaned. Education is an incredibly positive influence. Education is how we have learned that the earth is round, that there are good and bad microscopic bacteria effecting our

There is some scary stuff happening in the world around us right now. In the United States we have this surreal situation in Missouri. I had really thought we left the hatred and fear and racism of the 1960’s back in the 20th century, but we seem to have all of that back again here and now. In the Ukraine we have separatists who are likely backed by the Russians stirring up nationalistic troubles. The Israelis and Palestinians of the

Positivity: Support

I understand your struggle, and I support your efforts to make your life what you want it to be. It is amazing how good knowing you are supported can make you feel. When you are doing pretty much anything with your life, great or small, there is nothing quite like receiving support. Sometimes it is just a matter of someone saying they understand. Sometimes its an offer of help and encouragement. Sometimes it involves nothing more than emotional support, sometimes

Some of the brightest, the funniest, the wisest of us suffer depression. Unlike many diseases, depression is utterly silent. It is probably the most internalized disorder you can possibly imagine, and it can take a terrible toll and extract a terrible price on its sufferers. I know this struggle intimately. I have spent most of my life fighting depression. I am not ashamed of this fact, but I do not feel the need to advertise it to the world. But

Positivity: Home

There really is no place like home. It is amazing how good it feels to return to the place where you have your stuff. Not just your stuff, but your base of operations. It is your sanctuary, your refuge, your castle, your domain, you inner sanctum. Home. It does not matter what form it takes, nearly everyone has some place that they can call home. For some, home is not a literal place. It is a time, a person, an
