I Don’t Need You to Understand My Path

It’s my path, my life. Nobody else needs to understand – nor approve of – the choices and decisions I make. Like most people, there are numerous choices and decisions I have made along the way that were imperfect. Less-than good. Wrong. Bad. And worse. Part of the human experience is the choices and decisions you make. Some of them will lead to amazing discoveries, incredible experiences, and ultimately success. But then, some will lead to awful discoveries, lousy experiences,

I’ve Written This Before

I’ve written this before – and will write it all again. In pursuit of living my philosophy, I have written the same things over and over again. Despite the fact I’ve written this before, I know that I will write it again. And that’s simply because it bears repeating. This applies to the following ideas/notions/concepts: Consciousness creates reality Mindfulness is conscious awareness of your sensory input as well as your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions Change is the only constant

The Evolving Philosophy of Pathwalking

As I evolve, my philosophy of life is evolving, too. And I embrace that. Change frightens people. What’s worse, there are too many examples of people “in power” using the fear of the unknown that change might bring about as a weapon. Hence, on the one hand, you have progress. On the other hand, you have attempts to go backward. You cannot undo or redo change, whether it’s subtle or monumental. Yes, you can certainly resist – which can be

Why Do We Stumble on Our Paths?

You stumble because it’s more about the path than the end goal. Today is another day. It is full of potential, possibilities, and other great stuff. If that’s how you perceive your reality. For some, today is another day. But it’s full of fear, distress, uncertainty, woe, and other awful stuff. Both these perceptions are on the personal level. I’m not even going to go into the high-level happenings (such as the inauguration). YOU get to choose – every single

The Challenge of Prioritizing

Multiple paths can’t be traveled all at once. Prioritizing is the key to choosing their order. I love to have a lot to do. Frankly, when I have nothing to do, I get restless. Hence, there is more than one path I am on at this time. Each path takes me to an overall end goal of feeling more connected between myself and the world. But I am just one man. I can’t be in two places at once (okay,

Why This Path?

Exploring why this path is the right path and what that means. Nobody has one single path they will take in their lifetime. You will choose more than one path along the way. This occurs for multiple reasons. At different times in your life, you’ll desire different things. What you desire as a child is likely not what you desire as a teen. The things you desire change as you grow and change. When I started college, I wanted to

One Person, Many Paths – One Mind and Mindfulness

I am just one person. But there are many paths I can choose from. Practicing mindfulness is the key to Pathwalking and like philosophies. Many people believe that life is beyond their control. Shit happens, you go with whatever comes your way. You do what you gotta do – and unless you are somehow special, expect nothing but the bare minimums. Let’s just dispel that right off the bat. Every. Single. Person. On. The. Planet. Is. Amazing. The potential and

Take Joy in Your Path

Why would you choose a path if it wouldn’t bring you joy? Why do you do what you do? That’s a loaded question with different answers, dependent on the “what.” For certain obligations and expectations, the answer is responsibility, to earn money, contribute to society, etc. But what about goals? Big or small, why do you do what you do to reach an intended goal? The answer, I am guessing, is satisfaction. You seek that sense of achievement, of accomplishment,

Who Cares About What Path You’re On?

You care. Still, others who care can be a mirror reflecting something you need to see. I have no idea what path anyone else in this world is on. Sometimes it’s obvious. More often, it is not. Yet even when your path is apparent to me – I haven’t any idea what it is. That’s because I cannot get inside your head. Of course, conversely, you can’t get into mine, either. So, who cares? That doesn’t really matter – to

New Path – or – An Old Path Anew?

Am I embarking on a new path or just living the definition of insanity? This quote is attributed to Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Whether or not Einstein did in fact say this, the point is valid. How else can you explain trying the same thing again and again – with little to no change – and expecting the result to change? This is not the notion of seeking
