The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Lack of focus makes manifestation difficult, if not impossible. One of my biggest issues with creating the life I want and really, truly walking my path is a lack of focus. I know what I want to do, I have the idea of how I want my life to be…but I can’t focus enough on the here-and-now to make this happen. Last week I wrote about removing negativity from my focus. To do this I stated three steps: 1) Don’t
I am particularly adept at identifying my own faults. I can see what I am doing wrong, I can see how I am choosing poorly, I am completely aware of my errors and mistakes. I am my own greatest critic. While there is validity in being able to see and own up to your imperfections, it is of greater importance that you do not let them linger. It is very easy to berate myself. It takes as little effort to
You are not unsupported. Even when you are walking your own path, you are never completely alone. You have supporters, you have resources available to you. I have spent a great deal of time with people not understanding my choices. There have been many along the way who did not nor could not understand what I was about. And I will be the first to admit that it may have behooved me in the past to have paid greater heed
Your mileage may vary. The twists and turns and obstacles and successes and failures we endure as we walk our paths may be similar, but will not be the same. No one but me is inside my own head. I’m all alone in here, and I am in control of this body, I am in control of the choices available to me. When all is said and done I am empowered to do good or bad, be happy or discontent,
What is it I want from my life? Where do I want to take this path to? Who do I really want to be? Now that I have identified the real fear that causes me to sabotage myself, that being the fear of loss, what chances do I want to take that would lead to succeeding or failing? What is it I want to gain from my success or failure? This is a very hard question for me to answer.
How do I overcome my fears so that I can stop from sabotaging myself again? This is a question I have never directly asked myself before, and now that I have it is time to explore it, and find some answers. The first step is to identify my fears. As mentioned previously, I have an equal fear of failure and success. However, even knowing that these are the two greatest fears that cause me to sabotage myself, they are not
Some of the brightest, the funniest, the wisest of us suffer depression. Unlike many diseases, depression is utterly silent. It is probably the most internalized disorder you can possibly imagine, and it can take a terrible toll and extract a terrible price on its sufferers. I know this struggle intimately. I have spent most of my life fighting depression. I am not ashamed of this fact, but I do not feel the need to advertise it to the world. But
Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. This is how life works. You cannot always get a medal just for participating. Sometimes you score a win, and sometimes you get a loss. This is how it is. The problem that comes of this is not about competition, and it is not about whether you are on the winning end or the losing one. The issue to pay attention to is whether you are gracious or sore in victory or defeat.
