The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Self-sabotage is currently staring me in the face. There is nobody better at getting in my way than me. I have an incredible talent for tripping myself along any given path I choose. Somehow, I manage to find a way to self-sabotage. Then, I wonder what happened and how I can stop it from happening again. Over the past couple of years, I’ve gotten better at recognizing it when it creeps up on me. Like a Dungeons and Dragons Rogue
I’ve spent a lot of time working with the question of not taking things personally. Do you know what one of the hardest lessons I’ve had in the past two years has been? Not taking some specific things personally. Such as? How many reads my blog posts get and how many books I sell. Both my blog posts and my books are products. They have been lovingly crafted by me and shared with the world. When people don’t click on
Yeah, that’s a lie. I’m feeling flustered and stressed. But what comes next is on me. Let’s talk about the great big elephant in the room. Feeling stressed. Virtually everyone deals with stress from time to time. Deadlines, pressures to do things from within and without, expectations, and many other things can be stressors in our lives. Even when you seek to carve your own path in life – it is not stress-free. I don’t care who they are –
Feeling invisible in a world with nearly 8 billion people is not weird or abnormal. The past couple of years has had an impact on everyone. It varies from person to person – but nobody has been excluded. Directly or indirectly, the past couple of years has been like no others before them. While that’s always the truth when it comes to the passage of time – the past 2 years have been overwhelming in all the ways they’ve been
It’s just as important for me to know who and what not to be as who and what to be. Let’s just get this out of the way, shall we? Let’s quote some Hamlet from Shakespeare, “To be or not to be – that is the question.” The question as I am posing it today is more specific, direct, and less philosophical than Hamlet’s query. I share what I do about mindfulness, conscious reality creation, positivity, and the other work
I have low-energy today – and it’s not conducive to getting anything done. I have work to do. Both of my freelance jobs have things that need to be done by me. Nothing Earth-shattering or particularly time-sensitive – but they need to be done. Also – most importantly, probably – getting them done gets me paid. Additionally, I have my own writing and editing to do. There’s a novel that I’d like to publish this year that’s not done. On
The answer is Yes. Both the path and I adjust in various ways. The only constant in the entire Universe is Change. I repeat that a lot. Why? Because it can have a truly amazing impact on our life experiences when we recognize, acknowledge, and accept this truth. Everything you know – all the comfort zones you exist in – has changed before. They will change again. And then, after they change – they’ll still change. No matter how resistant
We need to work more with mindfulness to embrace change. There are two topics I cover repeatedly. Fear and change. Why? Because we live in a fear-based society and change is the only constant in the Universe. What’s more, fear of change drives many, many people and the things they do. Accepting the inevitability of change goes a long way towards learning to embrace it. But that’s not easy to do because of how fear is so broadly exploited. What
Actions don’t just speak louder than words – they move and change everything. New Year’s Eve is almost upon us. Besides various forms of celebration people participate in around the world – lots of people make New Year’s Resolutions. They resolve to go to the gym more, quit smoking, eat fewer carbs, spend less time surfing social media, and other similar notions. But there is a major problem with resolution. It’s rather impotent. How do I mean? Let’s begin by
If I am blocking my energy flow it impacts everything I desire to do and achieve. There are two truths in this Universe that I believe without question. Change is the only constant in the Universe. Everything is made of energy that is constantly changed Recently, I learned that change is the only reason we exist. If the elements that make us up did not change – we would not be. Energy is what makes us. In fact, energy is
