The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Monday morning. For most of us, a new work week lies ahead. How do you face it? Do you sigh, grumble, gear yourself up to take on challenges, deal with problems, and slog through the next five days? What do you expect of the coming week? Despite our routines, we still get to choose our approach. I began to write Positivity on Mondays because I am constantly bombarded with negativity in regards to the standard work week. Here we go
Time to take action. I have been a bit stuck in regards to promoting my writing. I blog thrice a week, sure, and Seeker, Finder and Clouds of Authority are all available on Amazon. But I have haven’t done much to promote any of these recently, and generate more sales. Writing the story is one thing. Editing it is another. Formatting and publishing it is not the last step, by any stretch of the imagination. At least, not when you
Surrendering to the Universe is not easy. If, like me, you are almost obsessed with the how and why of things, then simply surrendering to the Universe is a particularly loaded concept. It gets even more complicated if you are a skeptic or cynic. What does it mean to surrender? It means you have to have faith. This, too, can be a really loaded concept. We are frequently seeing around us people who are allowing their so-called “faith” to dictate
Community is about finding belonging. We all want to belong. We all want to find a place where we can have our people, surround ourselves with the like-minded to share experiences. That is how you form a community. Some communities are wide-ranging and spread out over a broader spectrum of interest, like a specific city or town. Some are more specific, like a religious institution. Some are particularly specialized, like a club or volunteer organization. It’s certainly possible to be
Do you beat yourself up when you fail to follow-through on something? Do you spend time berating yourself, getting upset over mistakes and failures to launch? Do you start to feel bad, to spiral negatively when you had all the right intentions but then don’t complete your plan? Most people do. I know I do. I get annoyed with myself, and start to feel bad when I make a plan and then I don’t move on it. Last week I
Change is complicated. First, it is imperative to acknowledge this statement: CHANGE IS INEVITABLE. Things change, because that is the nature of the Universe. Because time is an illusion, how we perceive change varies. Some change is quick and hard to miss. Some is so glacially slow that we don’t realize that change is happening at all. But everything changes, whether animal, vegetable or mineral. Everything evolves, shifts, and transforms. The desert was once a sea. Seeds grow into plants.
It is never too late. You are only too old, too poor, too uneducated, too uninformed, too fat, too short, too little or too much if you believe it to be true. So, too, is the concept of being too late untrue. Time is only an illusion. Our perception of time is frequently shifting, changing, and though we look to clocks and calendars, we see and feel it to be fluid and unexpected. Ever notice how there are times when
Planning is all well-and-good. It’s the actions that I find frequently challenging. The purpose of this particular blog is to share personal accountability as I do the things I do to live the life I most desire to live. Positivity is specifically sharing positive things to combat negativity while Pathwalking is more specifically about the mechanics of my conscious reality creation process. Crossing the Bridges is my personal journey, and the challenges as I take it. I have written about
How do you find the line between being informed, and being overwhelmed by information? This is the question I find myself contending with fairly regularly of late. Given all that is happening both in the USA and around the world, I find I need to remain informed, and keep in the know. However, there are so, so many things happening that this quickly becomes overwhelming. World news can be pretty crazy, but all the insane political actions happening in America
Sometimes you just need to escape from it all. There are times when you feel so overwhelmed, you just need to get away, escape from your life, escape from your routines, and try something different. As you are reading this, I am on a vacation in a place I have never been to before, with the medieval reenactment society I have played with for over twenty-five years now. Yet the majority of the people I will be with will not
