The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
The future is not yet written. This is one of the most amazing, positive truths we can face. Why? Because it means that everything is still negotiable, and that even if we find ourselves on a less-than-desirable course, we can change it. It is easy to get caught up in believing that the future is set in stone. Lots of people work very hard to sell you on the notion that there are limited possibilities for the future, and that
I can see across the bridge. So how come it feels like I will never get to the other side? Look familiar? I don’t know anyone who has not dealt with this sort of thing. You know where you want to go, you’ve a pretty good idea how to get there, you are on your way…yet it seems like you will never manage to arrive. The metaphor of Crossing the Bridges can feel very literal at times. I am where
We live in an abundant universe. Society, however, strives to contradict this fact. We endlessly are bombarded with messages of insufficiency, wanting and lack. It seems like everywhere we turn we are told there is not enough money to go around, dwindling resources, too little security, and overall an insufficient amount of this or that to accommodate everyone. Worse, even where lack doesn’t exist, there are plenty of people who use the fear of lack to maintain control. If we
New day, new way. No matter how I am feeling about what lies ahead of me, I know that this is a new day, and no matter what I have coming to me, there is always a new way. It is so very easy to get caught up in routine. There is often comfort in our routine, which I think is part of why we as a species are so fond of maintaining status quo and continuing through certain patterns
Virtually everything in life can be a learning opportunity. Frequently we do not realize it at the time…but once in a while you get a rare glimpse at the process, and get to be fully and completely aware as it occurs. I have been coping with a situation for a bit more than a week now, which I am going to share with you. I am deeply grateful for the job I have currently, but while I appreciate having it,
Presumption can be majorly detrimental to your health. What am I talking about? I think it’s pretty safe to say that everyone, at one time or another, has stumbled across something that caused them to make a presumption about the future. For example, you find an unwrapped present your loved one acquired, or a letter that’s not addressed with either good news or bad news, or you find a job listing from your own company that looks suspiciously like your
What makes you smile? What can you look at, listen to, or read that puts a smile on your face? Is there anyone you can speak with who can make you laugh and smile, someone who has that effect on you? We all need to take some time to seek out sources of light and laughter. We all need to find and enjoy things that make us smile. We are living in a world where fear and anger and terror
I was recently delivered a rather serious blow to my ego. Without getting into too much detail, I ran across something online that made me question my worth, my value as an individual, and my ability to do good work. It was early in the day, and set the tone for the rest of my day, leaving me feeling discontent, nervous, unhappy, and otherwise uncertain. I spent a day feeling ill, unhappy, and discontent. Worse, the general news of the
How clear is your vision? This is the question I have been contending with for a while now. It is, to some degree, due to a lack of clarity in my vision and my end goals that I find myself not achieving them as I most desire. Part of my problem is that I sometimes want to hedge my bets. I have a Plan A, a Plan B, and maybe even a Plan C. The best part is, none of
I am. Sometimes that’s all it takes to find a positive. Just acknowledging that I AM. Life happens. Whether I am having a good day or a bad day, the important part is that I am having a day. I am here. I am alive. I am breathing. I have possibilities for my present and my future, and I AM. It is tremendously easy to lose sight of this. We get caught up in our own mundane issues, whether that
