Positivity: Not Holding Yourself Back

The only thing that holds most of us back is ourselves. We live in a world that is so full of possibility, opportunity and potential that it’s rather staggering.  Yet we often believe that the world is actually full of lack, or limitations and impossibility. I am not writing about pie-in-the-sky, rose-colored glasses optimism, I am writing about reasonable, fully accessible options we often overlook or disregard or simply don’t completely see. I have been writing for most of my

Positivity: Laughter

Laughter is the best medicine. It may be and old adage, it may be cliché, but that doesn’t make it any less true.  Laughter is a fantastically powerful vehicle to positivity. It is nearly impossible to feel bad when you are laughing.  Not entirely impossible, no, but nearly impossible.  Laughter is a release akin to tears, but much more frequently a positive one.  Something evoked a powerful response, and it made you laugh. Might be a joke.  Maybe someone had

Positivity: Positivity in the Everyday

Some days the most positive thing is having the day before you. We all have days when we wake up from a poor night’s sleep, or we have that thing on our mind, or we have residual issues from the day before we know we cannot simply leave behind.  That does not negate the positivity of simply being alive. I believe that we all frequently overlook the positivity in the simplest things in life.  Things we just take for granted

Positivity: Optimism

Optimism is a good thing. I recently read a blog post by another author for whom I have a great deal of respect, and he was exploring how we have allowed pessimism and fatalism overcome reason. Like attracts like.  If we want to be pessimistic about the future and all that it holds for us, likely this is what we are going to create for ourselves.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a bleak, dismal and unfortunate

Positivity: Possessions

While it is nice to have things, the reason for the having is far more important. The things we have, the possessions we own can be a source of good in many respects.  And there will always be things we need versus things that we desire.  Things can be a source of positivity, but it is not the thing itself that has that power. The material things we have generally fall into three categories.  Things we need, like food, clothing,

Pathwalking 145

Pathwalking is not just an intellectual concept, it is also a spiritual and an emotional endeavor. I have stated rather frequently that to walk any given path you have to not only think about it, but you have to feel it, and you have to desire it. What’s the difference between the intellectual, spiritual and emotional? The intellectual is the easiest to examine. This is your thought process, this is your continued education. Intellect is a matter of learning, it

Pathwalking 144

Even though Pathwalking is for yourself, sometimes you will encounter guides along your way. Yes, I recognize that this is an inherent paradox. I often have talked about how Pathwalking is a solo process. And yet now I am putting it out there that from time to time you will encounter guides. What about being wary of outside influences? Not every outside influence is a bad thing. The issue with outside influences comes when you allow them to dominate your

Pathwalking 143

Why are you on this path? The path you are on, right now, as you read this, why are you on it? Did you choose this path for yourself? Did someone else choose it for you? Did you stumble upon this path, or was there effort and conscious direction when you decided to travel upon it? I have probably asked all of these questions before. If they are being repeated, that is because they are so deeply important. If you

Pathwalking 142

During the course of Pathwalking, I have frequently spoken about creating your own life. In walking your own path, one of the ideas is to control your destiny, and manifest the life you most want. There are obstacles, distractions, problems, complications, bumps and twists and turns along any given path. The journey, I have often stressed, is of equal if not greater import than the goal. Living in the here and now is vitally important to the end goal of

Pathwalking 141

It never ceases to amaze me how readily I can lose my focus. For a while I can be a champion. I can successfully manifest what I want, no question, no difficulty, I can do it. I can see all the possibility, all the probability, all the reality of what I am capable of. I am amazed, excited, enthusiastic, and ready to tackle the world and everything that could possibly get in my way. And then it is gone. I
