Positivity: Attitude Shifters

I am constantly talking about balance in regards to Pathwalking.  Moderation, knowing the yin and yang and finding what we need in order to successfully walk our paths in this life as we would choose them. There is one exception to this it is important to grasp. We live in a universe of abundance.  Everything we could want or need can be found in this universe, around us, because everything is energy, and we can alter frequencies to move the

We all need positive energy. When we are constantly bombarded by news of tragedy and inundated with stories of greed and corruption it is increasingly difficult to find positive energy.  All you have to do is read through posts on Twitter or Facebook or Google+ from well-meaning friends and you will experience all the terrible things happening in the world today. It is very hard not to get increasingly frustrated, angry, incensed over the vast amounts of unfairness, stupidity, and

Most people are familiar with the Golden Rule, and the phrase “Do unto others as you would have done unto you.” What ends up being neglected is the notion to do unto yourself as you wish to have done unto you. It is very easy to get caught up in looking out for your family and your friends and their wellbeing.  Sometimes it’s just easier to take on and deal with other people and their problems and needs and wants

Expectation is a powerful force. What exactly IS expectation, anyhow?  Dictionary.com defines it thus: noun 1. the act or the state of expecting: to wait in expectation. 2. the act or state of looking forward or anticipating. 3. an expectant mental attitude: a high pitch of expectation. 4. something expected; a thing looked forward to. 5. Often, expectations; a prospect of future good or profit: to have great expectations. Looking forward, anticipating, waiting – and it is really great expectations that are what we all want to have when it comes to this action, this emotion. However, expectation can also be a crutch.  It can be a blockage for the actions in the here-and-now, as often it is something ahead of us, rather than

We form communities because it is human nature to not want to be alone. What do communities form around?  It is usually a common element – everyone shares a skin color or similar beliefs about nature or a faith in god or a common activity and so forth.  The people find common ground with one another, and form a group that shares that commonality.  Now we are not alone. The trouble is, while this starts off innocuously enough, often communities

Do you overthink things? This is a very important question, because knowing the answer makes a tremendous difference in how and where you find satisfaction in life. I often remark that my inner skeptic gets in the way of my plans.  But more realistically, I think, it is my tendency to overthink. What exactly is overthinking? Overthinking is when you consider every possible aspect and angle of a given situation, apply reason and logic, then rethink the whole thing, applying

Around the world today people are celebrating the New Year. Why is this significant?  What does it mean?  What way, if any, does this effect Pathwalking? Let’s break this down to its very core.  New is unfamiliar, a start, an origin.  Year is an easily marked measure of linear time.  New Year’s implies a time of rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings.  Its very name speaks plainly of a fresh space in time.  As much as many fear change, people are

Today I wish you love and joy, peace and happiness. Today should be no different from any other day.  Today should have no greater emphasis, no deeper meaning, no sharper focus than any other day. Today is Christmas day.  All around the world this day is celebrated in a wide variety of ways.  Whether you attend Mass, have been furiously shopping the malls for gifts, or living somewhere between these extremes, the greatest emphasis that emerges from this particular holiday

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”  – Albert Einstein. As a Pathwalker, I choose my path every day.  I have a course plotted, an idea in my head for where I am, where I want to be, and even how I want to get there.  As I have stated before, there are numerous twists, turns, bumps in the road, diversions and other incidentals that will occur along any given path. As much as
