The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
It has been argued that there are no original ideas. I disagree. Why? Because each of us as individuals are completely original. Certainly we are the products of recycled genetics, but we are, none-the-less, original. I am the only me that there is. You are the only you in existence. Even if you are a twin, a triplet or an octuplet, you are original. One-of-a-kind. This is an amazingly positive idea. Because we are originals, we have something different to
How do I know if I am on the right path? I am actually pondering this question myself. I am feeling uncertain, and I am finding myself having a hard time with being in the here-and-now as I need to be. Let me share with you my own, personal path as I am walking it now. Today is February 4, 2015. I began the notion of Pathwalking three years ago in January 2012. When I started this concept I was
What brings a smile to your face? What memories, what images, what sounds, what smells, what touches, what thoughts will make you smile? What brings a smile to your face? These are the things we need to have at our disposal for when we are inundated by negativity. We need to have these tools available to us so that we can give ourselves an easy means to creating positivity instead. Some days it feels like a major struggle to invoke
What happens when you run out of choices? The truth is, you never run out of choices. However, sometimes a situation reaches a point where the options available to you all appear to be undesirable. We forget that we are currently the product of our past thoughts and actions. Who we are at this moment is directly related to who we have conjured ourselves to be. What does that mean? If, as I regularly posit, consciousness creates reality, then what
There are always choices. Sometimes they don’t seem to be ours, and sometimes they are hard to even get a good look at, but there are always choices available to us. No matter how bleak a situation may be, there will be choices available to change it. Some are surprisingly simple while others are immensely complicated. But they exist, none-the-less. People often become mesmerized by what they are told by outside influences. They are told there are limitations, they see
Disappointment happens. It is something we cannot avoid. When there is something we want or desire or have our hopes about – and that thing does not happen – disappointment occurs. This is a part of human nature. When we have our wants and desires denied us, we become displeased and we cannot help but feel disappointment. Yes, I have stated here rather frequently that you feel what you allow yourself to feel. I have also stated that you should
You are not the product of your environment. Not unless you choose to be. I get to choose who I am. I get to decide what kind of person I am, what kind of person I want to be. No matter my upbringing, the environment in which I live, the social circles in which I interact, I alone am wholly responsible for who I am and who I want to be. There are a lot of messages out there, often
With the choice of any new path, there will be risk. Most of us spend at least some, often really much, of our time in the familiar. We find a comfort zone, and we do what we can to stay within it. It is a safe place to occupy, and it feels like a good fit. The problem is, things change. This is probably the most unavoidable fact in the entire universe. Everything will change. It may be unbelievably slow
