The Ramblings of the Titanium Don

“What do you want to do?” A respected career coach asked me this question.  My answer, at the time was, “I’m not entirely sure.” That’s not the truth, though. Why didn’t I tell her what I want?  Why did I hold back?  How come I didn’t admit to what it is I want to do? The answer is indicative of what it is I need to be working on. However, I want to provide some context first. This was at

Over the past couple of years I have started to find several four-leafed clovers every summer. Most of my life this was something I had never done.  Now, I find them a few times a year. One important point, however, to consider.  I find them because I take a moment to look for them. How many patches of clover do you encounter along your way?  Do you stop and examine them to see if there are any that are not

I have recently realized that there is tremendous importance in addressing and altering old, outdated, underlying beliefs. Pathwalking addresses the idea of taking control of my own life and my own destiny, and choosing and walking my own unique path.  One of the key things I return to in this process is that consciousness creates reality.  It is possible to manifest an amazing life, if I take the time to think, feel, and take inspired action to make it happen.

While it is usually best to do things in moderation, sometimes extremes are called for. When your energy is stagnant, and you need to redirect the flow, this can call for an extreme action in order to set everything in motion. For example: I have put on some unwanted weight.  I have been working to take it off, but the process is moving very, very slowly, and I need to give it a jumpstart, I believe. So, in addition to

Just breathe. It is not cliché.  Sometimes the best thing you can do is to just breathe. I have been feeling off for a few days now.  I have gotten a lot of things done, and I haven’t had anything bad happen, I have just not felt quite right.  I have felt off.  My energy has been low, and my spirits too. We all have bad days.  We all have times when we are off, and while we can seek

Everybody has comfort zones. We all have places where we feel most comfortable.  Some are literal, some are figurative.  Each of us have places where we can go to feel comfort, to feel calm, to just be without overtaxing ourselves. The problem with comfort zones is that sometimes they can be very hard to break out of. One of the things about Pathwalking is that it is my way of choosing my own destiny, going my own way as makes

Just be. Two simple words that convey far more power and meaning than we realize.  Two words to sum up our very existence. Our culture feels equally obsessed with the past and the future.  Frequently we are inundated with messages about how we need to go back, return to what we were, restore something how it used to be.  On the other side of the coin we frequently are deluged with the messages about how we need to go forward,

Pathwalking is in no way a selfish act. Yes, I am working on living a life of my own choosing.  But I am not doing anything that is selfish in the process.  In fact, I believe that in working to choose and walk my own paths, I am a better listener, friend and confidant. How can you be doing more for yourself but still suggest you do more for others? None of this is about quantity.  On the contrary, this

Pathwalking is not the One True Way. Simple as that.  This my personal philosophy for working on doing as I would wish to do to live the life I want to live.  This is my method for being in control of the things within my control. I have in my four plus decades on this planet learned a lot of things.  I have experienced quite a bit, too.  I have seen, heard, read and otherwise gotten involved in many adventures,

Why do I feel so stuck?  Why does it feel for every step forward I am taking two steps back?  Why is it for every perceived win I have two losses?  Why do I feel like I cannot manifest what I want to? The short answer is Anger. I have a lot of anger within me.  As I have become more adept at meditation I am getting better at digging into my inner psyche, and what I am seeing is
