How do your beliefs effect the paths you are walking? Short answer – considerably. Long answer – what do you believe? First and foremost, this has NOTHING to do with religious, faith or spiritual beliefs. This is all about the specific beliefs we hold when it comes to ourselves, our lives, and our understanding of how the Universe works. What we believe is often tied into what we think we do and don’t know, and how we are feeling. Unfortunately,

Why have you chosen the path you are on? Whether or not you are consciously Pathwalking, why have you chosen whatever path you are on? This is a surprisingly important question that all-too-often gets waylaid. We know there are paths we want to walk in life, but why do we want to walk them? Pathwalking is about choosing your own destiny. It is about taking control over your life and finding what makes you happy. Because, when all is said

Today is my birthday. My birthday is my personal New Year’s Day. So what? What does that have to do with Pathwalking? If this is the start of a new year, then it is the perfect opportunity to set new actions to take. I have written before that I do not believe in New Year’s resolutions, but rather New Year’s actions. Resolving is a passive concept, while taking action is direct.

Do you have a tendency to second-guess yourself? I do. It has often been, as far as I can tell, one of the main causes of my indecisive moments. I make a decision, sure…but then I second guess it.

More than once I have reiterated that no one but you can choose your own path. For some people this is really easy. They just KNOW without any doubts who they are and what they want to be. They answer whatever calling they receive – whether it’s to be a doctor, a member of clergy, a pro athlete, an artist, a teacher and so on. For some, they go where they are pointed. Someone at some point told them that

One of the largest obstacles any Pathwalker will come across is depression. Today we are going to explore a new avenue, because I am not sure it gets the attention it deserves. Depression afflicts FAR more people than anyone realizes. The first and most important thing to recognize here is that none of us who suffer depression are alone. All of us experience different reactions and have different triggers, but depression is a lot more common than I think most

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
