The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
We’re all familiar, I think, with the phrase, “I love it when a plan comes together!” Conversely, though, nobody is fond of when the plan falls apart. What do you do when your best laid plans go pfffffffft around you? As with anything else in life, you have a choice. You can lament your failed plan, moan about it, whine about it, get upset and angry and kick at the stones along the way…or you can accept the lesson learned
It’s not that there always needs to be a fixed destination. Life is about the journey, after all, so it is certainly both logical and even necessary that from time to time you walk a path, but the goal is not wholly clear. Yes, it is important to have an idea, to have a plan. But sometimes there are days where you just are on the paths, walking along, and though you have an end goal in mind, it is
Where does the time go when it’s not around here? Ever feel like you are always chasing time? Like no matter what you do, there is seldom enough or it runs out or expires or what-have-you? Of course, it doesn’t help that time is completely and totally subjective. The great scientist Albert Einstein famously said, “Time is an illusion.” Douglas Adams even expanded upon that in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”
Consciousness creates reality. I write that a lot. Why? Because this is the truth. Consciousness creates our reality. What we concentrate on, give thought and feeling and energy and action to, we create. We manifest things into our life, and we build or destroy our personal world. I know that for a lot of people this seems like total BS. We live in a world that seems to be beyond our control. We didn’t manifest our debts, our illnesses, the
There is a fine line between narcissism and self-promotion. The former is when absolutely everything is all about YOU, and in no way beneficial to anyone else. A narcissist practically screams, “Look at me! LOOK AT ME! See the things I am doing? Pay attention to me!” The latter is somewhat about you, but it is also about sharing. There is some benefit for other people. A self-promoter says, “Hey, I did this thing. Please take a look at it.
Decide to decide. I cannot tell you how many times in my life I have found myself at some crossroads or other because I refused to decide to decide. Decision making is only challenging if you choose for it to be so. For a lot of my life, I was the King of Indecision. I totally should have bought myself a crown. When I made the decision to take action for the New Year, nearly five years ago now, it
I feel as if I live in multiple worlds sometimes. See if this is familiar for you in any way. First, there is Professional Me. I hold a job, I pay my bills, I do the necessary things one does to live in this society. I also happen to be involved in civics, as I serve as President of a local Chamber of Commerce. Second, there is Author Me. I keep this blog, I write and edit novels. I constantly
How do you want to feel? This is an important question I do not think we ask of ourselves enough. Not only do we not ask of ourselves, How do I feel? But neither do we ask, How do I want to feel? It is easy to forget that when all is said and done, I and I alone am responsible for how I feel. Period. Whether or not I feel good or bad, happy or sad, anxious or excited,
I am something of a modern Renaissance Man. First and foremost, I am a writer. Almost five years ago I began Pathwalking. This is my personal philosophy on how to choose my own destiny, so that I might live the life I most desire to have. I started Positivity more than two-and-a-half years ago. One Monday morning all I saw was lamentation for the new week, and a deluge of negative posts across social media. So I decided that I
Everything is energy. At its core, in its simplest, most elegant form every single thing you can see, touch, taste, and smell is energy. Every one of us, no matter our skin color, ethnicity, gender or other chosen identifier is energy. The earth, the sun, the other planets in the solar system and everything, absolutely everything, is comprised of energy. Both science and spirituality agree on this point, though they might use different phraseology to explain it. Since every single
