The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
How do you measure success? I believe that most people would give fairly broad answers. A great job, a beautiful home, an incredible family, wealth and so forth. But success does not need to be these grand and glorious things. Success can and should be simpler, and more easily attainable. Society loves to hold up pillars of success. Great men and women who have overcome the odds and risen above this and that to achieve success. Whether a business mogul,
What do you do when it feels like it’s all for naught? How do you handle that feeling of being on the verge of tears, ready but unable to cry, in pain physical or emotional? What do you do when you feel as if all of your efforts, all of your brave talk and tough choices feel as though they mean nothing? Don’t fight it. Let it out. Feel the sadness. Feel the disappointment. Cry if you can. Sigh and
We have the potential to absorb knowledge like a sponge. Human beings have a unique adaptability that no other creature in the animal kingdom shares. We can make our homes in any climate, any geography, anywhere we would choose. Knowledge is power. That statement has been used to frighten people for a long time now. The truth is, knowledge is not simply power – knowledge is life. There is always something new to explore, something new to be learned. The
There is nothing quite like time amongst friends. I got to spend a long weekend with some amazing friends. There was tons of great conversation, inside jokes, laughter, and camaraderie. I got to spend quality time with my chosen family, got to build better friendships with others, and even made several new friends along the way. There is nothing quite like friendship to generate positive energy. I am always pleasantly surprised by how swiftly hanging out with friends makes me
Sometimes you find you are traveling upon more than one path. I have stated multiple times that there are many paths to choose. There is always an option, or a number of options before you in any given situation. While it is certainly easier if you can choose just one single path, often it is difficult to do so. What’s more, given our nature and diversity of personality, it is also difficult for any single path you have chosen to
Well done! Two powerful words that can change a negative into a positive. These two words can provide the compliment that tells you what you are doing or have done is appreciated, and that you have worth and value. Everybody wants to feel good about themselves. As much as our emotions are wholly our own, and we ultimately decide how to feel, no matter the outside influence…we still crave the satisfaction, the validation for whatever thing it is we are
Pathwalking can be as simple as 1-2-3. However, we have an amazing capacity for over-complicating our lives. Every day need not be a struggle. Many of the things we find challenging are only a difficulty because we MAKE them difficult. We are all hard wired with this need to have a system of beliefs. There are things we know, things we are absolutely certain of, and while some of these things are in fact solid and unchangeable, more than most
You are capable of anything. You have the ability to make your own life. You are empowered with a strength that separates us from the rest of the animals walking this earth. You can choose who to be, where to live, what sort of job to work, the people you associate with. Beyond the physical, you can choose to be happy or sad or strong or weak. You have no limitations but those you set upon yourself. We are amazing
There are signs and omens all around us, and we often miss them. Yes, I am about to get hooky-spooky on you, but please stay with me. Once more I am going to explore an incredible paradox of our existence. Last week I wrote about the importance of critical thought. I explored why we all need to not just act, but really give time and energy to analysis and critical thinking, before we form opinions and make various decisions. However,
If sunlight provides fuel by day, moonlight provides fuel by night. The moon had been personified in song and story in so very many ways. Sometimes called He, sometimes called She, the moon is more to us than simply an immense rock orbiting the Earth and effecting our tides. The moon is a quintessential part of the lore of almost every culture in the world. The moon has its many phases, showing us different shapes and faces. Crescent, half, full
