Trust is a multi-faceted concept many of us find difficult at best.  Trust is reliance on something tangible or intangible, holding onto confidence and hope.  That is what trust is. Last week I began to explore that trust in the self is in many respects even more vital than trust in any external force or entity.  Without proper trust in who I am, and what I want to do, walking my own Path will be almost impossible. I concluded by

Trust is a multi-faceted concept many of us find difficult at best. Trust takes on a lot of forms, and can have a lot of meanings.  It is not a simple concept or just a word, it is a tenet of human existence. What does trust mean?  Extracting key elements of its meaning from dictionary.com, we know that trust means: noun reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence;  confident expectation of something; hope. verb (used without object) to rely upon or place confidence in someone or something (usually followed by in or to): to trust in another’s honesty, trusting to luck; to have confidence; hope: Things work out if one only trusts. To sum it up, trust is reliance on something tangible or intangible,

It is never in your own best interest to ignore an inspired idea. Yet often, we do.  And we make all sorts of excuses – It’s too impractical.  There isn’t enough time/money/resources for that.  I am unable to do that.  I can dream, but I cannot make the dream reality.  It’s impossible. When we fall into this trap, it becomes truth.  Truth is not, as many people believe, a simple notion.  I have long said there are three brands to

I have stated many times that Pathwalking is about choice.  And part of the reason to make that choice is in order to find happiness. Why is being happy so important? What it all boils down to is energy.  Once more, EVERYTHING is energy.  It cannot be created nor destroyed, but it takes on different forms and shapes.  Energy is subject to laws of science and nature in every discipline.  One of these laws is that like attracts like.  Ergo,

Is Pathwalking realistic? The short answer of course is YES.  The long answer is much more complex.  It is fundamental that you have belief in order to make Pathwalking work.  If you do not believe in your path, if you do not believe in yourself, if you do not believe that the choices in life are yours to make, then Pathwalking cannot work. Belief.  Faith.  Conviction.  Hope.  Trust.  Give it whatever label you wish.  Without this emotion, without this feeling,

As we began to explore last week, Pathwalking is about more than just the mind and spirit.  The body cannot be ignored. This week I am going to focus on my approach to improving the body temple as an equal part of the mind/body/spirit trinity.  The four aspects I am focusing on in order to better treat my body in regards to Pathwalking are Diet, Exercise, Meditation and Sleep. Diet.  For me, this is not about restricting certain foods or

Pathwalking is about more than just the mind and spirit.  The body cannot be ignored. Throughout this process I have explored ways of thinking, ways of feeling, ways of acting and being.  But it is not just a mental, emotional and psychological discipline…Pathwalking also has a physical aspect that can easily be neglected. For some exercising the body is easy.  For others, the spirit moves readily.  And for still others, it’s the mind that gets the greatest workout.  And while

Life is a day by day experience. Every day brings with it something new, something different, something unique.  Every day presents a new challenge, a new opportunity, new duties and new privileges. How we approach each new day, right from the start, is going to have a major effect on the day’s outcome.  It is so very easy to forget this fact, and equally easy to let it drag us down to somewhere we would rather not be. If you

Some days it feels utterly impossible to walk a path of my own choosing. There are days when the notion of living a life of my own choosing seems equally dissatisfying as letting life live me.  It just seems like too much work, too much effort, too much focus. I sit in front of my computer, pondering researching something or writing something or some other useful thing…and I have no desire.  Expending any effort seems like a struggle. I move

We are all creators.  We live in the world we make. This is so very easy to disbelieve.  Circumstances put us in places we never wanted to be, and we don’t always live in the world we would make.  But the statement is still true. “If you will it, it is no dream.”  – Theodore Herzl I Pathwalk because I do not want to be a victim of circumstance, and I want to make my own world.  I want to
