Just be. Two simple words that convey far more power and meaning than we realize.  Two words to sum up our very existence. Our culture feels equally obsessed with the past and the future.  Frequently we are inundated with messages about how we need to go back, return to what we were, restore something how it used to be.  On the other side of the coin we frequently are deluged with the messages about how we need to go forward,

Pathwalking is in no way a selfish act. Yes, I am working on living a life of my own choosing.  But I am not doing anything that is selfish in the process.  In fact, I believe that in working to choose and walk my own paths, I am a better listener, friend and confidant. How can you be doing more for yourself but still suggest you do more for others? None of this is about quantity.  On the contrary, this

Pathwalking is not the One True Way. Simple as that.  This my personal philosophy for working on doing as I would wish to do to live the life I want to live.  This is my method for being in control of the things within my control. I have in my four plus decades on this planet learned a lot of things.  I have experienced quite a bit, too.  I have seen, heard, read and otherwise gotten involved in many adventures,

Why do I feel so stuck?  Why does it feel for every step forward I am taking two steps back?  Why is it for every perceived win I have two losses?  Why do I feel like I cannot manifest what I want to? The short answer is Anger. I have a lot of anger within me.  As I have become more adept at meditation I am getting better at digging into my inner psyche, and what I am seeing is

I am not a fraud. Why am I stating this?  Because I am sitting here in front of my computer, and struggling.  What am I supposed to be writing about this week?  What words of wisdom should I be sharing?   Why do I feel like I am a big fat liar? For over four years I have been writing about this notion of walking my own path and finding my own way in the universe.  For over four years I

There are a lot of different things on my mind, and it is causing me to lack in focus. Some are pretty big picture, way out of my personal control matters.  Some are very much in the here-and-now.  And some are dreams, desires and destinations I want to reach. Everybody gets caught up in this.  We all have personal matters, professional matters, and worldly concerns.  As I analyze this, I am beginning to think that we often allow the things

It is important to leave the past in the past. As much as I am never one to hold a grudge, I do still hold onto many things from my past.  And unfortunately, not in a good way. We always can learn from the past.  The key, however, is to not take it with you into the present and on to the future. Let me explain in more detail. When I went to college I began with zero direction.  I

Lately I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety. This is not a regular sensation for me, I don’t get anxious easily.  But I am well aware that anxiety, as a disguise for fear, gets in the way of Pathwalking. So what am I feeling anxious about? The first step in dealing with anxiety is identifying it.  I know that there are several things giving me anxiety, some of which I can deal with directly, some less so. Current anxiety

Trying to align my beliefs, emotions, thoughts and actions is an interesting challenge. In order to manifest anything, I know that I have to combine thought with feeling and then take intentional actions. That’s a major oversimplification of the process, however.  It is much more involved, and the pitfalls can be overwhelming. What am I going on about?  Let me explain. I have successfully manifested things in my life.  I have managed to make things happen through a combination of
