The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
This has been a particularly challenging week for me. As I strive to walk my chosen path I am finding the obstacles along the way to be frustrating me more than usual. I could blame the cold, though overall the winter has been mild. I could blame the grey cloudy days, though I’ve now experienced several days of sun. More importantly, though, placing blame is not going to give me any resolution to my predicament. It is in my best
Today has not gone as planned. It has not gone badly, just not as I intended for it to go. What do you do when you have a plan or an intent for your day, or your week, or your year and it gets derailed? How can you still choose your path when you are clearly off of it? I have said more than once that sometimes the diversions on your path are actually where you need to go. Sometimes
Find your happy place, and enjoy some time there. We all have them. That place that we get to where the world is perfect. That spot where we are in absolute contentment, feeling alive and whole and where time can just stand still and we feel as if might want to live there forever. That is your happy place. I think there are many different happy places for most people, but they are not just an abstract idea or a
I have never chosen the conventional path. Before I came up with the idea of Pathwalking, I still never managed to conform to any normal path. This goes back a long, long ways as I examine it. As a kid I was not like the other kids in a number of ways I read at a higher level, I came from one of at the time few single-parent homes. I never quite meshed with the religious community in which I
Even when you are actively Pathwalking, there are responsibilities you cannot just ignore. I can imagine how some people may see the idea of Pathwalking as slacking. Choosing the thing you want to do over the things you should be doing – but that could not be further from the truth. There is still responsibility and accountability when it comes to Pathwalking. In fact, I could even argue that that is what it is all about. This week I am

What do you do if the path you are on crumbles beneath your feet? First – yes, this can happen. While Pathwalking is something that you control there are always factors that can have a direct impact on your chosen path that you have no control over. Perfect example – your job. Whether you work for yourself or for someone else, the job you choose to work is a part of the path you are walking. One of my goals
I just want to cocoon in my bed. We all have days like this. No matter how hard we try to find positivity, no matter how much we work to maintain a good head space, nothing seems to work. I am walking upon the path I have chosen, and despite knowing that there will be bumps and twists and turns and obstacles along the way I am finding negotiating my path particularly challenging. I am being effected by things far
They don’t have the answers. Who are they? They are the people who tell you what is normal and not normal. The people who seek out extremes like black vs white, male vs female, rich vs poor and so on. The people who point out flaws, problems, things we should be distrustful of. Anyone who tells you if you do not follow in their same way you’re wrong. I don’t have the answers. The best teachers and therapists I have
Welcome to the new year! So, as promised, I have begun to keep a goal log. What is a goal log? That’s really good question. This is my take on the answer. I went looking to find if there was some sort of an app for my phone that would handle this task as I foresaw it. Certainly I found a couple options, but nothing quite spoke to me. Also – I didn’t care to pay for an app at
