Crossing the Bridges: Nothing to Fear

Fear is like an obscuring mist, covering each step in uncertainty. Doubt, uncertainty, dis-ease, discomfort, anxiety are all specific manifestations of fear.  Worst of all, they come from a most intangible and illusive fear. I have written quite a lot about fear.  Both for Pathwalking and Positivity and even amongst my topical rants, fear is a subject I come back to rather frequently.  Why?  Because fear is one of the most pervasive driving forces of our modern society. Those in

Pathwalking 277

Give up, change tactics, start over, or keep pushing on? Everybody experiences points where you realize that you have to choose.  Give up the path you are on, change tactics for your approach to it, start a new approach to the path from the beginning, or keep pushing as you are. This can be a loaded issue, because there are pros and cons to all four options.  Only you can decide which is going to be best in the given

Positivity: Seeking Help

When do you recognize you need some help? When do you stop and realize that no matter what you have tried, maybe you need outside assistance?  When do you accept that maybe it’s time to ask for help, seek treatment, or start taking the medications to restore balance? This is a matter of Positivity.  Knowing that you need help, and then getting it is incredibly powerful.  Nothing is more positive than acknowledging limitations and then getting assistance to overcome them.

Crossing the Bridges: Taking Steps

Crossing the bridges is only possible when you start taking steps. I intend to become a best-selling author.  While I write several different things in different genres, one of the intents of this particular blog is determining better ways to traverse bridges between these writing styles. However, in many respects, the first bridge I need to cross is between the life I currently have to the life that I actually want to have. I have written it before, and I

Writing makes me feel good. It doesn’t seem to matter what I write.  It can be words for business, it could be web content, it could be this blog, or it could be my next great work of fantasy.  Whatever it is, writing grounds me, centers me, makes me feel good and opens the channels of creative energy. Not everyone is a writer.  But everyone has a thing, or even more than one thing, that produces this sort of feeling. 

Positivity: The Inconsequential is Important

Coffee.  Conversation.  Tea.  Meditation.  Sleep.  Holding the door for a stranger. Every one of these is equal in its power to generate positivity.  Every one of these can elevate your mood and improve a given day. The seemingly inconsequential is easy to disregard, especially in the face of impersonal matters like terrorism, poverty and corruption; or more personal matters like jobs, bills to be paid, not feeling able to find enough time for loved ones and fun.  What does the

Crossing the Bridges: Self Talk – What follows I AM

I speak less highly of myself than anyone else.  I am my own worst critic. Always have been.  Know how that feels?  You always manage to find something to be critical about?  The one person you criticize the most, whom you give the absolute least amount of slack to being you? I know that this does me no good.  If my plans are not completed or I get distracted or I fail to do as planned, I can count on

Pathwalking 275

The squirrels in my brain can be terribly distracting. What does that mean?  When I am thinking about something, I frequently see not only the angle I wish to take, but alternative angles, results both good and bad, and all kinds of possibilities.  Because of this, I frequently find it difficult to manifest precisely what I wish to. I woke up the other morning feeling anxious.  I realized what it was that was causing me to feel anxious, but even

Positivity: Monday Morning Choices

Monday morning.  For most of us, a new work week lies ahead. How do you face it?  Do you sigh, grumble, gear yourself up to take on challenges, deal with problems, and slog through the next five days?  What do you expect of the coming week? Despite our routines, we still get to choose our approach.  I began to write Positivity on Mondays because I am constantly bombarded with negativity in regards to the standard work week.  Here we go

Crossing the Bridges: Taking Action

Time to take action. I have been a bit stuck in regards to promoting my writing.  I blog thrice a week, sure, and Seeker, Finder and Clouds of Authority are all available on Amazon.  But I have haven’t done much to promote any of these recently, and generate more sales. Writing the story is one thing.  Editing it is another.  Formatting and publishing it is not the last step, by any stretch of the imagination.  At least, not when you
